Driven Isuzu D-Max Yukon Double Cab - Contract hire and leasing news

The pick-up market has erm, picked up in recent years as carbuyers realise their unique ability to serve as an industrial workhorse in the week and a five-seat family runaround the rest of the time. The second generation D-Max is one of the many versatile but perhaps lesser known options available alongside the Mitsubishi L200, Nissan Navara and Volkswagen Amarok. The test model you see in these pictures came powered by a 2. 5-litre turbo diesel engine with optional all-wheel drive - the only unit available in the D-Max – mated to a six-speed semi-automatic transmission. There isn’t an official 0-62mph time but we’d place it at around 15 seconds and despite its calmer acceleration, the D-Max’s top speed of 112mph is higher than that of the L200 and Ford Ranger. No pick-ups are particularly easy to manoeuvre and measuring almost 5. 3 metres long with a 12. 2 metre turning circle, the L200 is no different. You sit high in the D-Max but a privileged ride height is one of the givens in this segment, elevating the driver higher than virtually any. Source: www.contracthireandleasing.com
