<\/a><\/p>\nTwin-motor EV version of popular truck will land in 2026 with one-tonne payload and 163-mile range<\/p>\n
Isuzu<\/a> has revealed an\u00a0electric version of its\u00a0D-Max<\/a> pick-up truck with full-time four-wheel drive and a payload of more than a tonne.<\/p>\n The D-Max EV is making its debut at the LCV show in Birmingham this week ahead of a UK launch in February next year – when it will go up against the upcoming KGM Musso EV<\/a> and new\u00a0Maxus eTerron 9<\/a>.<\/p>\n It’s all but identical to the diesel D-Max (Isuzu’s only model line in Europe)\u00a0but swaps the oil-burner\u00a0for a pair of electric motors \u2013 one on each axle \u2013 giving combined outputs of 188bhp and 240lb ft for a 0-62mph time of 10.1sec and a top speed north of 80mph.<\/p>\n Power is supplied by a 66.9kWh battery under the floor, which is good for a WLTP range of 163 miles and can be charged at speeds of up to 50kW\u00a0for a 20-80% top-up time of one hour.<\/p>\n Importantly, the battery doesn’t have a drastic impact on the D-Max’s off-road ability, with the EV claiming 210mm of ground clearance and a wading depth of 600mm. It has approach and departure angles of 30.5deg and 24.2deg.<\/p>\n In addition to permanent four-wheel drive, the D-Max EV has a dedicated Rough Terrain Mode for “extreme off-road capability”.<\/p>\n While it uses the same ladder chassis as the existing truck, Isuzu has fitted a bespoke de Dion rear suspension system in place of the leaf springs for improved handling.<\/p>\n Just as important is the fact that the EV is rated to carry more than 1000kg in its loadbed and can tow up to 3500kg – although Isuzu has yet to say what impact this will have on the range. The D-Max EV weighs 2350kg at the kerb.<\/p>\n Otherwise, the D-Max EV is largely identical to the diesel D-Max, inside and out – down to the kit list, which includes a touchscreen infotainment screen with smartphone mirroring, a digital driver’s display, dual-zone climate control, parking sensors front and rear\u00a0and heated front seats.<\/p>\n The D-Max EV is being offered only in double-cab form for now.<\/p>\n Prices have yet to be confirmed, but\u00a0it’s likely to command a substantial premium over the diesel D-Max, which starts at \u00a336,505 before VAT.<\/p>\n Pre-sales will begin in the second half of this year, and the first customers will receive their D-Max EV in March 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":62518,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"Default","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,137],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62517","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-featured","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62517","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62517"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62517\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62518"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62517"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62517"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62517"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Isuzu](\"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/isuzu-d-max-goes-electric-the-future-of-tough-trucks-arrives-in-2026-1.jpg\")
