ENHANCED: Blade is based on premium D-Max
Isuzu have unveiled a new special-edition, UK-exclusive D-Max model.
The five-seat Blade pickup, which features unique style and comfort enhancements, will go on sale next month priced from £24,995.
It will be paired with a 2.5litre twin-turbo diesel engine, producing 163PS and returning segment-best economy of 38.2mpg.
The vehicle is based on a premium D-Max, but features more than £5,000 worth of additional equipment for £1,000 less than their separate list price.
Exterior kit includes 18inch, six-spoke ‘Shadow’ alloy wheels, 255/60 R18 Pirelli Scorpion Zero tyres, ‘Shadow’ grey front grille, privacy glass windows, black door and tailgate handles, black roof bars and rear bumper, and heavy-duty side steps.
Each exterior addition creates a striking contrast to the two available body colours: solid ‘Splash White’ or ‘Cosmic Black’.
“The Blade meets the growing demand for a stylish pick-up that doubles up as an everyday workhorse for those who need it.”

Customers can also choose between an Aeroklas hard top complete with internal light or a Mountain Top Black Roller Top Cover unique to the Blade.
Inside, standard equipment includes automatic climate control, premium black leather seats, DAB, Pioneer AVIC-F950 6.1-inch touchscreen navigation system rear safety camera.
William Brown, General Manager at Isuzu UK, said: “The new Isuzu D-Max Blade is a high-value, high-quality proposition that we hope will widen the appeal of the D-Max further and take us into new market segments.
“It’s been designed to appeal to urban tradespeople as well as recreational lifestyle users looking for a pick-up that stands out from the crowd.
