Here is the price for the Isuzu D-Max X-Rider

Prior to its official market debut scheduled for next month, the pricing details for the Isuzu D-Max X-Rider, previously undisclosed, have been revealed.

Unveiled in November last year as the third rendition of the moniker that first appeared in 2016 as a limited edition of the high-output KB 250 Hi-Rider and later as a permanent fixture of the renamed D-Max range in 2018, the new generation D-Max’s X-Rider is exclusively a double cab model fashioned after the mid-range LS trim level.

Slightly distinct from the Thai-made Australian model that hit the market early last year, the locally-produced X-Rider boasts exterior enhancements, including a gloss black grille with a red Isuzu badge, LED headlights and fog lamps not found on the LS, black door handles and mirror caps, a blacked-out B-pillar, and a black sports bar. Further aesthetic tweaks involve 18-inch diamond-cut wheels with black center caps and red Isuzu lettering, a black tailgate handle, grey roof rails, a standard tonneau cover, side-steps, X-Rider badges on the doors and tailgate, and a choice of four colors: Islay Grey, Splash White, Red Spinel, and from April, Mercury Silver.

Inside, the infusion of red continues with the Isuzu script on the steering wheel hub, stitching on the seats, doors, and gear lever, accented inserts around the door handles, and a strip across the dashboard with a black X that transitions to gloss black and then back to red.

Standard features include black leather seats with red X badges on the front chair headrests, a black roofliner, a leather-covered steering wheel, and PVC floor mats with a red X badge.

The specification sheet, consistent with the LS, includes a six-speaker sound system, a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, cruise control, and electric mirrors, as well as auto lock/unlock doors, all-around electric windows, keyless entry, rear parking sensors, a reverse camera, 4.2-inch TFT instrument cluster display, seven airbags, Electronic Stability Control, Hill Descent Control, Trailer Sway Assist, Hill Start Assist, and a rear diff-lock.

Powering the third evolution X-Rider is the 4JK1-TCX 1.9-litre DDI turbodiesel, known as the BluePower in Thailand. Generating 110kW/350Nm, this engine is coupled with a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic gearbox, with the latter being the sole option for the four-wheel-drive variant. The pricing for the D-Max X-Rider is as follows, according to duaoporta.com:

D-Max 1.9 DDI X-Rider – R640,500

D-Max 1.9 DDI X-Rider AT – R659,200

D-Max 1.9 DDI X-Rider 4×4 AT – R740,700

All prices include a five-year/120,000 km warranty and a five-year/90,000 km service plan.
