All-New Isuzu D-Max EV Unveiled At NEC Birmingham 

Isuzu has just debuted one of its most important vehicles ever—a fully electric pickup truck. The brand unveiled The New Isuzu D-Max EV to the world at the 2025 Commercial Vehicle Show (CV Show) at the NEC Birmingham, marking a historic moment as the first-ever fully electric commercial pick-up truck to enter the European market.

The New D-Max EV is the latest evolution of the award-winning D-Max platform, now re-engineered with a state-of-the-art electric drivetrain, offering full-time 4×4, over 1-tonne payload, and maximum 3.5-tonne towing capacity, making it the first production electric pick-up in Europe to deliver full commercial capabilities.

Fully Electric, Fully Capable
Designed for professionals who demand durability, power and practicality, the new D-Max EV is powered by a 66.9 kWh lithium-ion battery boasting a WLTP range of 263km from its dual motors that produce a total output of 140 kW (43 kW front / 97 kW rear) and 325 Nm of torque. This powertrain results in a conservative 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 10.1 seconds, and a top speed of over 130 km/h.

Full-time 4×4 with multi-level regenerative braking and Eco Mode extend the vehicle range while water wading up to 600mm, ground clearance of 210mm, and impressive off-road approach and departure angles (30.5° and 24.2° respectively) ensure the D-Max EV is ready for any terrain.

New D-Max gets upgraded ADAS

The new 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, combining advanced capability with class-leading features and comfort.

The Isuzu EV is built on the latest generation of the D-Max range, offering the same capability, comfort, toughness, reliability, and versatility as its diesel counterpart. Based on the strengthened ladder chassis to withstand heavy payloads, the D-Max EV features Rough Terrain Mode for extreme off-road capability and an updated set of Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS) puts the truck on a par with rivals.

CARLIST THOUGHTS

It may be electric but the new electric D-Max certainly looks rugged enough to take on any off-the-beaten track. The new D-Max EV delivers zero tailpipe emissions and is equipped with multi-level regenerative braking, Eco mode, and a robust lithium-ion battery with a warranty of 8 years or 100,000 miles.
