Isuzu UK has announced pricing for its upcoming D-MAX EV, which will start from £59,995. That works out to around $117,000 AUD before on-road costs.
First deliveries in the UK are expected in March 2026, following an official launch in February. However, there’s been no confirmation yet for an Australian release.
Revealed at the 2025 Commercial Vehicle Show in Birmingham, the D-MAX EV will run a 140kW dual-motor drivetrain powered by a 66.9kWh battery. Three versions will be offered in the UK. The entry-level eDL40 comes in an extended cab configuration at £59,995 and a double cab version at £60,995. The top-spec eV-Cross double cab comes in at £62,495. All models feature a full-time 4WD system.
The eDL40 models come with chrome styling, an eight-inch infotainment screen, a seven-inch driver display, heated front seats, Bi-LED headlights, dual-zone climate control, leather upholstery, parking sensors front and rear, and a six-speaker audio system. The eV-Cross builds on that with dark grey trim, a larger nine-inch screen, auto-dimming rear-view mirror, and an upgraded eight-speaker sound system.
Despite no official word from Isuzu Ute Australia, the timing of the UK launch and the shared platform could suggest a late 2026 or early 2027 arrival here. Australian pricing would likely start north of $110,000 drive-away if based on straight conversions, though final figures will depend on local specs and taxes. Whether that price point can be justified will come down to how it performs in the real world – especially when it comes to range, charging and off-road durability.
With full towing capacity, a one-tonne tray, and proper 4WD, the D-Max EV is shaping up as one of the first electric utes built for work and play, and if it holds up to Isuzu’s reputation, it could give fleets and remote area operators a real EV option. Pre-sales in the UK open later this year, with fleet demonstrators arriving first.
The D-MAX EV will offer a one-tonne payload, 3.5-tonne towing capacity.
