The new Isuzu KB range arrives at SA dealerships at the end of March 2013 and General Motors says the line-up will be similar to what is offered currently. All body-styles (double-, extended- and single-cab) will be available from launch.
We have to say that the newcomer is a quite good-looking vehicle, with resemblenses between the American type styling of the Ford Ranger and more in your face bling styling of the Mazda BT-50, and we are not sure if it this will hit the mark with the die-hard conservative KB clan! As is the case with all newly released pick up ranges, it is much bigger, with much thought given to the limited cabin space problem in the back that was very evident in the previous model. The interior represents a big step forward with a dashboard design identical to that of the new Chevrolet Trailblazer. However, the Isuzu has a different grain of plastic finish, and also distinctive instrumentation.
GM is still hush on what will be on offer in terms of power, but in the East the KB is offered with a 2,5-litre turbo diesel (87 kW/280 NM), 2,5-litre VGS turbo diesel (101 kW/320 NM) and a reworked version of the current 3,0-litre D-TEQ turbo diesel (132 kW/380 NM). The 3.0 litre should deliver power similar to current offerings from the competition. Expect a new 2,4-litre petrol engine in SA. Drive trains available will be Five-speed manual transmissions and a new 5-speed “Rev-Tronic” automatic gearbox. Four wheel drive models will be equipped with the new “Terrain Command” system.
On the safety side, expect airbags and ABS on all models. Full SA specifications should be available soon.
There are lots of pick up type you can choose from. Different brand and styles is one of the things that people are looking for. But for me, you should look at its performance. That is the most important thing that we must know about our car.
