The 2020 Isuzu D-Max XTR Colour Edition
has just made its debut in the UK, featuring a more aggressive look that’s contrasted with subtle use of vibrant green
colours. Items such as the front bumper guard, bonnet protector and headlight
frames are finished in the same colour as the body, while the badge on the
front grille is finished in green. The pick-up truck sits on exclusive,
heavy-duty 17-inch six-spoke wheels that are finished in satin black, and they
feature a fluted, deep dish design. Pirelli Scorpion All-Terrain Plus tyres are
standard here.
Extras include heavy duty side steps which
are designed to prevent rocks and stone from damaging the bodywork. These are given
a black textured finish and feature drain points for mud, sand and snow.
There’s also black door mirror caps, black door handles, and dark-tinted rear
windows. At the back, there’s a tailgate spoiler with the XTR logo on top,
painted tail light surrounds and exhaust exits. If you look closer, the rear
anti-roll bar and dampers are finished in vibrant green.
The D-Max XTR Colour Edition also gets
performance front brake discs that have been designed for consistent pedal
feel, high wear resistance and better anti-corrosion protection. The calipers
are finished in the same shade of green, and the kevlar ceramic pads offer
better braking performance on the whole.
The suspension, supplied by Pedders, are
also tweaked to endure the harshest driving conditions. The front suspension
gets unique dampers for better articulation, and it also raises the ride
height, offering a total ground clearance of 250 mm. Isuzu says this doesn’t
compromise on vehicle handling and stability, though.
Inside, there’s a new flat-bottom steering
wheel wrapped in leather and suede (hand-sewn with green stitching, too!),
leather/suede front seats, and XTR logo embroidery on the front seat backrests
and rear centre headrest.
The automaker has yet to reveal pricing
and availability, but the XTR Colour Edition will be made available in Splash
White, Titanium Silver Met, Obsidian Grey Mica, and Cosmic Black Mica. All
colours have been carefully chosen to work with the vibrant green accents, but
production will remain in limited numbers.
