Following its debut at the 2025 Commercial Vehicle Show at the NEC Birmingham, Isuzu UK has officially pulled the wraps off the D-Max EV, the first fully electric pick-up in Europe capable of combining a 1-tonne payload, 3.5-tonne towing capacity, and full-time 4WD.
This groundbreaking model represents a significant leap forward in the electrification of the commercial vehicle sector — a bold move from a brand long renowned for rugged durability and no-nonsense utility. Now, that same DNA powers forward into the electric era with zero tailpipe emissions.
A True Workhorse, Now Electric
Available in two well-equipped trim levels — eDL40 and eV-Cross — the production-ready D-Max EV is powered by a dual-motor setup fed by a 66.9 kWh battery, delivering all-wheel drive capability and off-road confidence without compromising on payload or towing strength.
Isuzu has maintained consistency in its naming strategy by aligning the electric variants with their diesel counterparts, ensuring customers know they’re getting the same capability and premium features — now with the environmental and operational benefits of electric power. Hence, the D-Max eDL40 and D-Max eV-Cross carry forward the brand’s hard-working legacy under new, electrified skin.
Premium Trims, No Compromise
Each variant comes generously equipped. The eDL40, available in both Extended Cab (£59,995 +VAT) and Double Cab (£60,995 +VAT) formats, offers chrome exterior styling, an 8” infotainment display, 7” digital driver cluster, leather upholstery, Bi-LED headlights, dual-zone climate control, and Isuzu’s signature Rough Terrain Mode.
At the top of the range, the eV-Cross (£62,495 +VAT) leans into luxury with dark grey accents, a larger 9” infotainment screen, upgraded 8-speaker audio, and additional tech like an auto-dimming rear-view mirror.
Colour options include a palette of solid and metallic finishes, with Dolomite White Pearl exclusive to the eV-Cross. Signature blue EV elements and unique badging further differentiate the electrified model from its combustion-engined siblings.
Built for Business, Ready for the Future
Neil Scott, National Sales Manager at Isuzu UK, commented:
“We’re incredibly proud to launch the D-Max EV at a competitive price point for a fully electric, fully capable, and work-ready 4×4 pick-up. There’s nothing else like it in the market today that combines zero-emission driving with full commercial capability.”
The D-Max EV’s durability, standard features, and workhorse ability make it an ideal solution for fleets and professionals seeking to future-proof their operations without compromising on capability.
On Sale Timeline
Pre-sales are set to begin later in 2025, with first UK arrivals in February 2026, followed by customer deliveries in March. Right-hand drive demonstrator vehicles will be made available to fleet customers ahead of launch, underlining Isuzu’s commitment to supporting the commercial sector through the EV transition.
The Isuzu D-Max EV isn’t just a box-ticking electric truck — it’s a full-fledged utility vehicle engineered for real-world tasks. In an era where many EVs still struggle to match the toughness and utility of their ICE counterparts, the D-Max EV stands apart. This isn’t just an evolution for Isuzu — it’s a revolution for the European pick-up market.
