Isuzu Motors South Africa has announced the introduction of a new colour option – Onyx Black – for the D-Max V-Cross and Arctic Trucks AT35 models. According to Isuzu SA, the decision to introduce Onyx Black metallic to the V-Cross and AT35 D-Max derivatives is based on the success of the MU-X Onyx, which we evaluated for a road test in 2025, and D-Max X-Rider Black, and following keen interest from customers, the automaker decided to make this hue available for the D-Max V-Cross and AT35 variants.

As a reminder, the D-Max V-Cross is powered by Isuzu’s long-standing 3.0-litre, four-cylinder turbodiesel engine, which churns out 140 kW and 450 N.m of torque – the latter available from a mere 1 600 r/min. Power is transferred to either a 4×2 or 4×4 drivetrain via a six-speed automatic transmission. The Japanese marque claims an average fuel consumption of 7.9 and 8.1 L/100 km for the 4×2 and 4×4 derivatives, respectively.

Based on the 4×4 V-Cross, the AT35 employs the same powertrain, though gains several Arctic Truck-specific upgrades. Among several other items, the beefed-up D-Max gains 35-inch tyres and uprated suspension to enhance its go-anywhere capability.

The D-Max V-Cross 4×2 and 4×4 models are priced from R885 100 and R934 900, respectively. The AT35 is priced from R1 194 000, making it one of the most expensive bakkies in South Africa. As standard, the D-Max package includes a five-year/90 000 km service plan and a warranty spanning the same duration or 120 000 km.
