Launched last June, the D-Max has quickly established itself as a worthy successor to the highly popular Rodeo and has
become a big sales hit, elevating the Japanese brand to second place in the UK pick-up sales rankings*.
"There's a seemingly endless supply of torque from the 2.5-litre commonrail diesel engine, a full choice of body styles and trim levels; it's an accomplished mud-plugger, it can match load capabilities with the best, and its external dimensions make it feel nimble to drive. The icing on the cake is the generous five year/125,000-mile warranty," said Neil McIntee, Editor of VansA2Z.com.
"This is a terrific accomplishment for Isuzu in a very competitive market, and demonstrates just how well the D-Max balances its tough and rugged capabilities with exceptional every day refinement. We've worked hard in the UK to ensure the vehicle's strong attributes are matched by its pioneering warranty, impressive standard specifications, low contract hire rates and high residual values. It's very gratifying to see those efforts recognised with this award," said William Brown, Isuzu UK General Manager.
