In a market where commercial vehicles are often synonymous with spartan functionality, Isuzu dares to break paradigms with the latest addition to its lineup: the D-Max V-Cross Commercial. Launched in the UK, this pickup elevates the utility concept, offering an unprecedented combination of premium features and practicality for the most diverse professionals.
Luxury and Functionality: The Best of Both Worlds
Imagine a pickup truck that doesn’t force you to choose between comfort and work capacity. This is the proposal of the Isuzu D-Max V-Cross Commercial. Built on the platform of the acclaimed V-Cross version, this model has been re-engineered with professional users in mind – from farmers and merchants to construction workers – who spend long hours both at the job site and on the road. The “Luxury In The Front, Business In The Back” philosophy has never made more sense.
On the exterior, the robust and modern aesthetic of the D-Max V-Cross is maintained, featuring Bi-LED headlights and 18-inch alloy wheels with Dark Grey accents. To protect the cargo and ensure functionality, the Commercial version is distinguished by a lightweight bed with a canopy and a standard tow hitch, ideal for any type of equipment. And for those concerned about durability, keeping the car paint flawless is an investment that increases the vehicle’s value.
Inside, what would be the rear seats of the passenger version has been intelligently transformed into a secure and permanent cargo area, registering the vehicle as commercial. But what truly surprises is the level of refinement in the front cabin. Heated leather seats, a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, an eight-speaker audio system, and dual-zone air conditioning ensure a superior driving experience. Technology extends to safety, with a complete suite of ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems) to assist the driver. The choice of Bi-LED headlights also contributes to better visibility and safety.
Robust Performance for All Journeys
The solid foundation of the Isuzu D-Max is maintained, ensuring that the Commercial version retains the impressive load and towing capabilities. With a 1-ton payload capacity and 3.5-ton towing capacity, this pickup is ready for the most demanding challenges. The 1.9-liter turbodiesel engine, the only option available in the UK, delivers 162 hp and 360 Nm of torque, mated to an automatic transmission and a four-wheel-drive system with rear differential lock, which includes a “Rough Terrain” mode for difficult ground.
To ensure the diesel engine always operates at maximum efficiency, it is crucial to pay attention to engine carbonization, a common issue in high-use diesel vehicles. Furthermore, for any heavy-duty adventure or work, tire durability is essential, and the D-Max is prepared for long journeys.
Price and Availability in the UK Market
The Isuzu D-Max V-Cross Commercial has a starting price of £41,995 (before tax) in the UK, with the first deliveries scheduled for November. This price positions it above the V-Cross passenger version (£38,255) and significantly ahead of the entry-level D-Max Utility (£27,755), justifying the investment due to the richness of features and the unique market proposition.
