Isuzu has expanded its KB bakkie with the addition of new derivatives.
These additions come just in time for the arrival of the new Toyota Hilux and the new Ford Ranger.
Buyers can now choose from 18 different versions, says the automaker.
The newcomers include an auto version of the 4×4 flagship, which gains a touchscreen infotainment system (Satnav, reverse camera and DVD compatibility).
The flagship also benefits from features such as keyless entry and stop/start functionality.
The other two new models are the Extended Cab and Double Cab Fleetside in 4×2 configuration.
