9th December 2022 – Isuzu UK has once again claimed the Pick-up of the Year crown from the industry experts at What Van? making it the fifth time in the last six years that the Isuzu D-Max has taken the title.
The What Van? Awards recognise the brands, businesses and organisations that have reached the very pinnacle of their field each year, with this year’s event taking place at Intercontinental London, in Park Lane on December 8. The prestigious awards are judged by a panel of experienced industry experts from across the LCV sector and reward only the very best in each hotly contested category.
James Dallas, Editor of What Van? said “The current Isuzu D-Max took a big step up from its predecessor. While retaining the toughness and workhorse credentials for which it has always been renowned, the Isuzu D-Max is now a sophisticated truck loaded with ADAS features that are great to drive both on and off-road. In 2022 Isuzu has strengthened the D-Max line-up with additional variants, including the specialist off-road Arctic Trucks AT35 model.”
George Wallis, Head of Marketing at Isuzu UK said “We are delighted to receive the Pick-up of the Year award from the renowned LCV experts at What Van? again this year. In what has been another year of tough trading conditions for the industry, Isuzu UK has continued to expand and build the model range to ensure we can offer our customers the most comprehensive line-up possible to suit the diverse requirements of our current and future customers.”
The Award-Winning Isuzu D-Max has a proven heritage as a tough and reliable vehicle that performs under the most demanding working conditions. Backed by Isuzu’s 125,000 mile / 5-year warranty, the current generation D-Max boats a one-tonne payload and up to 3.5-tonnes towing capacity, whilst also benefiting from class-leading safety specification and outstanding off-road capability.
Available in single, extended and double cab body styles, the versatile Isuzu D-Max offers the choice of a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission and an optional rear differential lock on the entry-level models. Four further levels of specification, split into three distinctive areas, Business, All-Purpose and Leisure, result in the brand offering an Isuzu D-Max that is suitable for everyone and every possible requirement.
In 2022, Isuzu UK added no less than seven new variants to the line-up, including the new Isuzu D-Max Arctic Trucks AT35. This new halo model has been developed and engineered to handle the most challenging landscapes with ease while offering a distinctive presence and authentic performance. The Arctic Trucks AT35 is a professionally re-engineered vehicle incorporating significant enhancements to the body, frame, drivetrain, suspension and styling. Plus, importantly the vehicle also retains its commercial vehicle status, with no compromise to payload or towing capacity.
