New Car: 2011 Isuzu D-Max LE II 4WD

Isuzu Ute Australia (IUA) is marking its second year of local sales with the launch of a limited edition D-MAX 'LE II' 4WD crew-cab one-tonne ute.

Following successful sales of the D-MAX 'Pearler' special edition last year, the 'LE II' is a strictly limited build, offering only 180 units for sale across the country, priced at $47,300 before on-road costs.

"Last year's 'Pearler' limited edition D-MAX was very well received so we've sweetened this year's special edition with some even greater value unique elements at very reasonable cost," said IUA's general manager of sales, Paul Vuko.

Available in two new and exclusive paint colours – 140 Lunar White and 40 Solar Bronze – the D-MAX LE II is based on the well-equipped D-MAX LS-U 4WD crew-cab ute and offers an additional $9000 retail value for only $5000 more than typical D-MAX LS-U retail pricing.

Offered in both manual and automatic guise, the Isuzu Ute D-MAX LE II offers a Kenwood touch-screen infotainment system featuring satellite navigation, reversing camera, DVD player, USB music player connectivity, Bluetooth, CD and AM/FM tuner. The integrated unit also features a detachable face for added security and includes a remote control.

Also included in LE II's additions list are side steps with integrated polished aluminium step inserts and rubber grip stipples, a lockable hard tonneau cover, chrome nudge bar, chrome sports bar, bonnet protector, fog light recess bezels, tail lamp guards and optional monogrammed leather upholstery, available for an extra $2400.

Of course no limited edition model would be complete without the obligatory badging, D-MAX LE II featuring 'Limited Edition II' badging on the tub's rear flanks and an 'LE II' graphic integrated into custom striping on the lower doors to denote the special model.

As with other models in the D-MAX range, the LE II is equipped with air conditioning, folding wing mirrors with integrated LED indicators, cruise control, projector headlamps, power windows and mirrors, remote central locking, rear limited slip differential, lockable tailgate, rubber tub liner, chrome rear step and 16-inch alloy wheels.

The high-riding 4WD model also offers impressive specifications including 225mm of ground clearance and a 3000kg (braked) towing capacity.

Isuzu D-MAX Limited Edition II is available now and is priced from $47,300.
