Isuzu has revealed the price of its new electric D-Max in fellow right-hand drive market, the UK.
Isuzu Australia hasn’t confirmed if the D-Max EV will arrive in Australia, but it is expected to launch sometime in 2026.
In the UK the new D-Max EV is priced from £59,995, excluding a 20 per cent tax, which puts it at about $124,000 in Aussie dollars before tax.

Isuzu D-Max EV revealed! And it's coming to Australia, beating Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger to market with a fully electric ute!
If the D-Max EV arrives in Australia, it is expected to be much cheaper than that, though.
Non-European vehicles are usually considerably cheaper in Australia than the UK and shipping is cheaper as Australia is much closer to the D-Max’s production hub in Thailand. Australia also has a free trade agreement with Thailand.
Even at circa-$100,000 it would be a tough sell to most tradies. Big company fleets looking to decarbonise will likely be the main customer at that price.
The D-Max EV appears fit for purpose with a rugged ladder frame chassis, one tonne payload, 3500kg braked towing capacity and dual motors putting it in the same ballmark as diesel-powered alternatives.

Its dual motors make 130kW and 325Nm and are matched to a 66.9kWh battery, which is good for a WLTP-rated range of 262km. A max DC charge rate of 50kW will see the battery topped up from 20 to 80 per cent in one hour.
It boasts 210mm of ground clearance and a wading depth of 600mm. Approach and departure angles are listed at 30.5 degrees and 24.2 degrees, respectively.
Isuzu has ditched rear leaf spring suspension for more advanced De Dion suspension. It has permanent all-wheel drive and a dedicated Rough Terrain Mode.

The D-Max EV looks mostly the same as the combustion version inside and out.
Inside there is a 9.0-inch multimedia screen that is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an eight-inch digital display, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats and front and rear parking sensors.
Isuzu Australia has been contacted for an update on the D-Max EV’s prospects for Australia.
