# Isuzu launches its first electric pickup in the UK, but it’s not cheap

While Toyota is preparing to launch the Hilux BEV in the UK, another Japanese electric pickup is now on sale. The Isuzu D-MAX EV can tow over 7,700 lbs, wade through close to 24″ (600 mm) of water, and it even has a dedicated Rough Terrain Mode for off-roading. However, it’s not cheap.

## Isuzu launches the D-Max EV pickup for the UK

After revealing the left-hand-drive D-Max EV for Europe last year, Isuzu said it would begin production of the right-hand-drive model for the UK, with sales following in early 2026.

Isuzu officially launched the D-Max EV as a right-hand-drive model, calling it “the first fully electric pickup in the UK to provide over 1-tonne payload, 3.5-tonne towing capacity, and permanent All Wheel Drive.”

The EV pickup is powered by a 66.9 kWh lithium-ion battery and dual electric motors, providing a combined 200 hp (149.3 kW), 347.6 Nm of torque, and a WLTP driving range of 163.2 miles. In the city, the D-Max EV offers a WLTP driving range of 223.9 miles.
