LAUNCHED earlier in 2024 for the current generation, the Isuzu D-Max X-Rider has proven to be a popular model in the Isuzu lineup, with the brand now having recently introduced a limited-edition 150 units Black Edition model.

To launch the stylish bakkie, Isuzu recently invited media from across South Africa to join a three-day road trip from Durban to Johannesburg, cutting through picturesque Clarens.

The X-Rider nameplate has proven to be a hit since its introduction in the previous generation D-Max. The X-Rider Black Edition takes things up anotch, with cosmetic upgrades added to the already popular nameplate.

It features a gloss-black grille with red X-Rider badging, dark 18-inch gloss-black alloys with red “Isuzu” lettering on the black centre caps, and black mirror caps. Decals are also along the sides, with the rear sports bar boasting a red “X” badge.
