Stand out with unique Isuzu KB X-Rider

Isuzu has added a new special value model to their light commercial vehicle range – the KB X-Rider which is based on the 250 HO Hi-Rider 4×2 in extended and double cab body styles.

Tasteful black diamond-cut 18-inch alloys, X-Rider body decals, black front bumper guard, black tubular side steps, blacked-out B-pillar, black sports bar, LED daytime running lights and wheel caps with the Isuzu branding in red are some of the visual cues that marks the special edition KB as a distinct kind of workhorse boasting an uprated towbar with a 2.1-tonne braked trailer capacity.

Visual cues don’t stop at the exterior either, with remote keyless entry owners will find themselves sitting on luxury leather seats embroidered with the X-Rider logo on the front headrests. The red stitched, leather- trimmed steering wheel puts drivers in full control with a wide array of satellite control, finished off with the centred Isuzu logo in the middle.

Under the bonnet of all KB X-Rider derivatives sits Isuzu’s high-output 2.5-litre common rail direct injection turbodiesel, delivering 100KW/320Nm.

“Our aim with the KB X-Rider is to offer real value and individuality in a brand which is well known for toughness, reliability and comfort. The X-Rider follows on the success of special edition models of the past, such as the Midnite and Serengeti.  The X-Rider continues the tradition but at a lower price point, providing added exclusivity and exceptional value for money.” Says Brian Olsen, Vice President of Vehicle Sales, Service, and Marketing at General Motors South.

At R 355 900 for the Isuzu KB 250 HO X-rider Extended Cab and R 366 380 for the Double Cab; the X-Rider is offered in Summit White, Switchblade Silver or Maranello red and will be available at Isuzu dealerships as of the first week of July.
