Isuzu, the next chapter

Drive Out

|

December 2016

The Isuzu KB range has just undergone some changes as part of its midlife model upgrade. Jaco Kirsten looked at the spec sheet.

Isuzu, the next chapter

The Isuzu KB is a bakkie that elicits a lot of reac-tions. On one hand there are those that point out that its engine isn’t exactly smooth and that the interior is lagging behind its competitors. But on the other hand there’s a fiercely loyal group who point out how reliable they are, what good ride comfort they offer, and that the double cabs can easily carry a proper tonne of cargo.

The latest upgrades introduced to the Isuzu aren’t seismic. So it’s both good and bad news. Because on the one hand, its critics are going to argue that little has changed, while its fans are going to argue exactly the same thing!
