इसुज़ू D-Max EV

Isuzu has unveiled the all-electric iteration of its D-Max pickup truck. The first electric vehicle from Isuzu to go into production, the D-Max EV, was showcased at the 2025 Commercial Vehicle Show in Birmingham. The D-Max EV sits on a re-engineered version of the D-Max platform that can now accommodate an electric drivetrain. The New Isuzu D-Max EV will be available in two trim levels, both in Extended Cab and Double Cab configurations. The EV is initially slated to go on sale in the UK, with deliveries to commence from February 2026.

Visually, the D-Max EV retains most of the styling cues of its ICE counterpart, such as the headlamps, the large grille with dual slats, and the taillamps. The EV is also identical to the ICE model when it comes to dimensions. The interior layout of the EV is also more or less the same as the ICE vehicle, featuring a nine-inch infotainment and a seven-inch digital instrument cluster. Other features on offer include heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, front and rear parking sensors, an auto-dimming rear view mirror, and a sound system with up to eight speakers. In terms of safety, the vehicle also features an advanced driver assistance system suite (ADAS).

In terms of payload, the all-electric pickup has a capacity of over a tonne, while its towing capacity amounts to 3.5 tonnes. The vehicle features a De-Dion rear suspension setup that replaces the traditional leaf spring setup that Isuzu claims improves handling. The truck also gets full-time 4x4 with four levels of regenerative braking and Eco Mode. Off-road approach and departure angles are 30.5 degrees and 24.2 degrees, respectively, while water wading is up to 600 mm and ground clearance is 210 mm.

On the powertrain front, the D-Max EV is equipped with a dual-motor setup. The setup produces a total output of 188 bhp (58 bhp front / 130 bhp rear) and 325 Nm of torque (108 Nm front / 217 Nm rear). The EV can go from 0 to 100 kmph in nearly 10.1 seconds, and reach top speeds of up to 129 kmph. The EV is equipped with a 66.9 kWh lithium-ion battery that delivers a WLTP range of 263 km.

Isuzu currently retails the D-Max in both standard and V-Cross guises in the Indian market. Isuzu has currently not stated anything about the D-Max EV coming to India, although the company could decide to offer it for sale here sometime next year.
