If you pay attention to the cars you see every day on your way to your grindstone, you will probably see a lot of Isuzu X-Riders on the road. They are hugely popular and this lates 4×2 D-Max X-Rider Black is bound to be a hit with local consumers.
Almost everything is black and this limited-edition bakkie features a Black Meet Kettle body colour and rides on 18-inch blacked-out alloy wheels with red contrasting Isuzu badges. The front-end receives a black bumper guard, projector headlights with integrated LED daytime running lights and fog lights.
Can you guess what colour the roof rails, sports bar and side steps are? Yes, black, of course. A factory-fitted tonneau cover and a 2.1-tonne towbar are also standard.
On the inside, you are met with black leather seats with red stitching seen on the bolsters and ‘X-Rider’ embroidery seen on the headrests. The leather steering wheel also gains red stitching and a red Isuzu badge. Black piano trim on the centre console, air vents, radio and doors add some shine to the cabin. A Bluetooth-capable, 8-inch AX2 touchscreen infotainment system is fitted.
