LONDON – June 25, 2012: The tough, capable and refined new Isuzu D-Max pick-up is now available with a range of flexible, low-cost contract-hire packages.

Backed by Black Horse Contract Hire, the finance agreements make it possible to secure an all-new D-Max with an initial payment of only £1,100 followed by monthly payments from just £185. The scheme can be tailored for a wide range of affordable rental arrangements covering all model specifications. Buyers can choose from two-, three- or four-year terms and can add maintenance cover for a small premium.

The Isuzu D-Max single cab 4x2 – which comes with features such as air conditioning, electric windows and six airbags as standard – is available from £185 per month on a four-year deal with a first month’s payment of £1,100. Over three years, the monthly payment is £193, and a two-year rental is £198 per month.

The mid-specification Isuzu D-Max Eiger is available from £229 per month, the Yukon – expected to be the best-selling model – from £233 per month, and the range-topping Utah from £254 per month. All contracts are subject to an initial payment (equivalent to six months’ payments), and are contracted to 10,000 miles annually.

The new finance packages add to an already compelling ownership proposition. Every Isuzu D-Max is available with a transferable five-year / 120,000-mile warranty and benefits from class-leading fuel economy (38.2 mpg combined).

William Brown, General Manager of Isuzu UK, said: “Many professional tradespeople depend on a reliable, durable pick-up, but a primary consideration will always be its affordability.

“The all-new Isuzu D-Max marries its extensive technical capabilities and impressive load-lugging capacities with a refined and comfortable interior. And in conjunction with our unique five-year / 120,000-mile warranty, these newly-announced affordable contract hire rates signal our determination to make the Isuzu D-Max the number one pick-up choice in the UK.”

The Isuzu D-Max is available in three body styles – single, extended and double cab – with prices starting from £14,499 (CVOTR) for the entry-level single cab 4x2, rising to £21,499 (CVOTR) for the top-of-the-range Utah double cab 4x4 Automatic. The pick-up is powered by a completely re-engineered, 2.5-litre twin-turbo diesel engine, producing 163 ps and 400 Nm of torque, and achieves fuel economy of 38.2 mpg (combined). It is available with either a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission.
