Isuzu D-Max EV concept displayed at Bharat Mobility Auto Expo 2025

Going by the latest EV trends, Isuzu is also set to enter the EV industry by showcasing their latest D-Max EV concept at the Auto Expo 2025. This is purely in concept form and is expected to be in the production phase sometime in 2026. Isuzu wants to target the pickup SUV segment in the EV industry as there are no potential competitors in this segment. Visually the concept looks similar to the diesel pick-up-truck.

Isuzu has designed this concept primarily for the European markets and is planning to launch the concept in 2025 in Norway.

Design

Isuzu has made subtle tweaks to the D-Max EV including a new grille and blue inserts to make it look different than its diesel counterpart. It will even get new alloy wheels, redesigned new headlights and reworked taillights to give it a fresh look.

However Isuzu has still not displayed the interior of the D-Max EV, still there will be smaller changes in the instrumentation like the revised upholstery and EV blue inserts as seen on the exterior design of the big pickup.

The rear is simply designed and no other changes are expected here. It gets unique LED taillights that gives it a traditional look of the truck. It even gets wheel arches with angular body lines that reflects the off-road capability of this truck.

Battery & Powertrains

Isuzu is expected to power this beefy pickup with a 66.9 kWh battery pack with two electric motors, one on each axle, generating a combined output of 175 BHP and 325 NM of torque. Isuzu is still developing this SUV thus we can expect a claimed range of 300 Km on a single charge.

D-Max can handle a payload of 1,000 kg and Isuzu has set the towing capacity at 3.5 tonnes of load for D-Max. Top speed is limited to 130 kmph with power going to all four wheels connected with a 4WD system. The front electric motors will be producing 54 BHP and 108 NM of torque, while the rear will give 121 BHP and 217 NM.
