Isuzu has found that the “X-Rider” is getting very popular in South Africa. What they have decided to do is give their most powerful engine, the 3.0 Turbodiesel, the X-Rider nameplate as well.
“We felt it would make sense to match this nameplate with our most powerful engine while retaining the attributes which make the X-Rider so popular. The 3 litre X-Rider has an imposing presence on the road with a rugged and sporty look which sets it apart from regular D-MAX models” says Isuzu.
The 3.0 X-Rider is powered by a 4-cylinder turbo-diesel which produces 130kW and 380Nm of torque, a very familiar engine with great reliability. It comes standard with black roof rails, a black sports bar with Red X-Rider logo; black running boards. The colours available for this Isuzu X-Rider are Summit White, Switchblade Silver and Pull Me Over Red.
Inside the X-Rider you get an eight-inch AX2 Radio with a multifunction colour touchscreen and a rearview camera. The seats are covered in black partial leather with red stitching.
A big plus for us is that the vehicle rides on standard 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels on all-terrain tyres, which look the business. 18-inch all-black alloy wheels are available as a no-cost option. Pricing for the special edition D-MAX 3.0 TD Double Cab X-Rider Auto starts at R479 217.39
