PORT ELIZABETH — The X-Rider was originally
introduced a year ago as a limited run of just over 700 units and sold out while
we were still test driving it.
Isuzu has listened to this market demand and
the KB X-Rider returns as a permanent fixture in the line-up, offering enhanced
value and standout styling for customers.
This brings the total number of bakkies in the
KB range to 19 models in three body types, the newest addition to the range
officially badged as the KB 250 X-Rider 4x2 Double Cab. The starting point is —
as before — the high-output 2.5-litre power plant, which has done sterling
service in the KB range since its September 2015 introduction as part of a wider
facelift. With 100 kW and 320 Nm, this common rail direct injection turbo-diesel
gives performance in keeping with the X-Rider’s sporty and recreational
positioning.
At R388 400, the newcomer represents a unique
blend of versatility and comfort — plus a soupçon of stand-out-from-the-crowd
attitude.
As always, Key Group in Pietermaritzburg has a
proud record of best trade-in values and discounts.
