Exclusive to the UK market, the 2015MY 4×4 double cab Isuzu D-Max Blade will be available from £25,999 (CVOTR) for the six-speed manual and £26,999 (CVOTR) for the five-speed automatic.
Enhancements over the 2014 model include a ‘Shadow’ grey front grille and matching garnish, and a distinctive Cosmic Black finish to door mirror caps, door handles and tailgate handles. And a soft-close tail-gate damper is now fitted as standard.
Other standard features unique to the Blade include 18-inch, six-spoke ‘Shadow’ alloy wheels shod with 255/60 R18 Pirelli Scorpion Zero tyres, and customers can choose either an Aeroklas leisure canopy or a Black Mountain Top roller cover with rear style bar, both at no extra cost.
The Blade will be available in Cosmic Black as standard with the option of a new-for-2015 Pearlescent White paint finish.
The interior also boasts premium and heated leather seats and a ‘Shadow’ grey headlining; bespoke side-sill scuff plates and carpet mats featuring ‘Blade’ graphics combined with Piano Black interior highlights.
There’s also an eight speaker audio and Pioneer 6.1-inch touchscreen navigation system – complete with integrated rear safety camera technology.
Under the bonnet, the Blade sports the 2.5-litre twin-turbo diesel engine seen across the range. Producing 163PS and 400Nm of torque, this unit enables the D-Max Blade to offer towing capability of 3.5-tonnes (braked) – said to be class leading – while also returning an official fuel economy of 38.7 mpg (combined NEDC). Customers can choose from a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission.
Like all new Isuzu models sold in the UK, the D-Max Blade comes with the company’s five-year / 125,000-mile warranty.
Order books are open now with customer deliveries beginning later in the month.
