Rare gem shines at Westvaal

POLOKWANE – MORE than 20 224 examples of the sixth generation Isuzu KB have been sold in South Africa since its launch in March.

Following on the success of the new mo-del, Isuzu is now offering something more exclusive. The special new Midnite Edition KB 300 double cab is a limited edition which only 500 units will be produced.

Painted exclusively in red, white or metallic silver, the exterior of the Midnite Edition is enhanced by a classic black theme from bumper to bumper. At the front, a specialised black bumper guard adds to its aggressive looks and is complemented by a black radiator grille.

The classic black treatment continues with:

• Black mirror caps;

• Roof rails;

• Side steps;

• Window surrounds;

• Black 17-inch alloy wheels;

• Rear standard tow bar beneath black rear bumper;

• Black sportsbar behind the cab;

• Midnite Edition decals, and

• branded door sill plates.

Each vehicle will receive a special plaque with the unit’s unique number engraved on it, indicating which of the 500 special edition units it is. The interior is further distinguished by special Midnite Edition carpets.

Three Midnite Edition models are available, each of which is powered by Isuzu’s proven 3.0-litre D-TEQ diesel engine with 130kW and 380Nm on tap and the choice of a 5-speed manual or a five-speed automatic transmission with a 4×2 drivetrain, or 4×4 with a manual gearbox only.

As with the rest of the Isuzu KB range, Midnite Edition vehicles offers a five-year or 120 000km warranty and a five-year or 90 000km service plan, with service intervals scheduled every 15 000km.

Price:

• R444 600.
