A SPECIAL version of the Isuzu D-Max has been released which is high on style and aimed at pick-up drivers who want to turn heads.

The Blade becomes the range topper of the current D-Max range and is fitted with 18-inch alloys, a distinctive grey grille, darkened windows, black finishes to the handles, roof rails and rear bumper and robust side steps.

Available in black or white paint jobs the new model is priced from £24,995 (excluding VAT) for a six speed manual or £25,995 for an auto.

The D-Max Blade can also be fitted with a black roller top cover which is exclusive to the special edition or a hard top with interior lighting.

Creature comforts in the five seat cab include black leather seats, automatic climate control, a digital audio system and a 6.1-inch touchscreen sat nav which incorporates a rear view camera system.

As with other versions of the D-Max the Blade is powered by a 2.5-litre 163ps diesel engine which gives the one-tonne truck an official fuel rating of 38.7mpg with emissions of 192g/km and all models are covered by Isuzu's five year, 125,000 mile warranty.
