Isuzu added yet another limited edition model to is previous-limited-edition-
turned-permanent-addition X-Rider.

Not satisfied with being the KB being the best-selling red bakkie on the market,
Isuzu is now going after the title of best-selling black bakkie with the X-Rider
Black Edition.

As you’ve probably guessed by now, this bakkie is painted in Isuzu’s Black Meet
Kettle body colour and is fitted with a number of black accessories, including
black front bumper guard, 18-inch alloy wheels, blacked-out B-pillars and side
steps. The sticker on the rear bumper and the badge on the steering wheel are
red, however.

The interior features black leather seats picked out with red bolster stitching and
the “X-Rider” logo embroidered on the headrest. Red stitching is also used for the
leather-trimmed steering wheel and on gear lever. Piano black trim on the vents,
radio and front console give the cabin a modern and sophisticated touch, with
the same treatment used on the door trim inserts that incorporate a red “X” in
keeping with the theme.

The X-Rider Black is only available in 250 4×2 guise and retails for R426 300.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
