Isuzu Unveils Its Electric Pickup Truck, D-Max EV At Commercial Vehicle Show 2025

Yasuhiro Takeuchi, Executive Vice President, Isuzu Motors International Operations (Thailand), commented: “We are incredibly proud to unveil The New Isuzu D-Max EV here in Birmingham. This model represents a major milestone not only for Isuzu but also for the wider commercial vehicle sector. We have engineered a fully electric pick-up that truly performs in real-world working environments, offering the same towing, payload, and all-terrain capability customers expect from the D-Max.”

The New D-Max EV is powered by a 66.9 kWh lithium-ion battery, boasting a WLTP range of 263 km, with dual motors producing a total output of 187.7 bhp and 325 Nm of torque with the vehicle accelerating from 0-96 kmph in just 10.1 seconds and has a top speed of over 128 kmph.

Additionally, the Isuzu D-Max EV will be available in two premium trim levels, both in Extended Cab and Double Cab configurations. These trims are the electric equivalents of the diesel-powered D-Max DL40 and V-Cross models, respectively. The model at the CV Show 2025 was presented in a one-off Norwegian Blue paint while the colour range available to order with the D-Max EV in the UK is yet to be announced.

Moreover, the D-Max EV features a new De-Dion rear suspension, replacing the traditional leaf spring setup, delivering improved handling. In addition to that, the New Isuzu D-Max EV is built upon the latest generation of the D-Max range. Based on the strengthened ladder chassis to withstand the heavy payloads, the D-Max EV features Rough Terrain Mode for extreme off-road capability.

Furthermore, it is equipped with multi-level regenerative braking, Eco mode, and a lithium-ion battery with a warranty of 8 years or approximately 1,61,000 km.

Alan Able, Managing Director, Isuzu UK, added, “It’s a huge honour for Isuzu UK to host the premiere of The New Isuzu D-Max EV and to unveil the very first production model here in Birmingham. Showcasing the left-hand drive version at the Commercial Vehicle Show puts us at the heart of this historic launch, and we’re already working with fleet customers to ensure they can begin evaluating the D-Max EV well ahead of the right-hand drive version arriving in early 2026.”
