Isuzu D-Max EV: the electric off-road legend is now in Europe

The long-awaited event has happened: the legendary pickup Isuzu D-Max is now available in a fully electric versionEV. In 2025, the Japanese manufacturer, known for its unkillable SUVs, officially brought the new product to the European market. The concept, first shown in Birmingham, has made its way to a production model, was recently unveiled in Birmingham, and is now ready for new challenges.

Power plant and technical characteristics

The heart of the electric beast was a two-motor power plant that provides all-wheel drive. The front electric motor has a power of 40 kW (54 hp), and the rear - 90 kW (122 hp). The total return of the system is130 kW (177 hp)and325 Nm of torque. Power is provided by a lithium-ion battery with a capacity66.9 kWh, which gives the pickup a maximum speed of more than 130 km/h.

Carrying capacity and towing

Entering the market dispelled the main doubts of the brand's supporters: the electric D-Max EV proved that it remains a real "workhorse". The manufacturer did not compromise, keeping the key advantages of the diesel predecessor, the current version of which can be found inour catalog. Thanks to the reinforced frame, the novelty is able to tow a trailer weighing up to3.5 tonsand transport to1 toncargo, confirming that the transition to electric traction did not require sacrifices in practicality.

Market entry plans and alternatives

Market entry will be phased. The British office of Isuzu has already announced the price list and confirmed that the acceptance of orders will begin before the end of the current year 2025. However, the first cars will reach dealers in Great Britain only in February 2026. The launch in other key markets such as Norway and Australia will follow. It is worth noting that for more conservative buyers, Isuzu is simultaneously developing a "mild hybrid" version of the pickup truck.

Thus, the Isuzu D-Max EV becomes one of the first electric pickups in its class that retains a full range of cargo and off-road capabilities. This is a bold move that demonstrates the brand's readiness to meet the challenges of the future without betraying its key principles of reliability and durability. Follow the news withVnedorognik.ua!
