Isuzu Motors has expanded the range of colours available on its range-topping D-Max models, comprising the luxuriously appointed V-Cross and the highly capable D-Max Arctic Truck AT35. Both can now be specified in metallic Onyx Black. 

“Based on the success of the recently launched MU-X Onyx XT and the X-Rider Black in Onyx Black, we’ve had keen customer interest in adding the black colour option to the range-topping D-Max models,” said Kevin Fouché, department executive, product planning, Isuzu Motors South Africa. 

The D-Max V-Cross is Isuzu’s sophisticated, stylish, and feature-rich luxury model that is designed to complement modern lifestyles and tackle any adventure. It is available in HR (High Ride) 4×2 and as a 4×4 version for owners who enjoy venturing off-road. Designed and developed in collaboration with Arctic Trucks, the D-Max Arctic Truck AT35 is based on the V-Cross 4×4 and is assembled along with the rest of the D-Max range at the Isuzu Motors South Africa plant in Struandale, Gqeberha. The specialised Arctic Truck upgrades are fitted in a dedicated conversion area in the body shop, where Isuzu’s most skilled artisans and technicians craft the bigger wheel wells and arches to accommodate the large 35-inch tyres and beefed-up suspension that give this vehicle its legendary go-anywhere ability. 

The D-Max Arctic Truck AT35 continues to be an exclusive vehicle, only available on special order through Isuzu’s local dealer network, with limited production numbers. The V-CROSS models and the Arctic AT35 share Isuzu’s renowned 3.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine, which is mated to Isuzu’s latest-specification six speed automatic transmission. This transmission delivers smooth and fast shifts, combined with excellent fuel economy. 

The addition of the Onyx Black colour forms part of Isuzu’s ongoing product enhancement strategy aimed at offering customers greater choice, standout styling, and vehicles that match their lifestyle ambitions.
