If you’re a South African bakkie enthusiast, you will know the Isuzu KB range by heart.

In exciting news, the KB range is about to embark on a brand-new adventure, which starts with a name change to Isuzu D-Max. The pickups we have all come to revere are branded under this name around the globe, and will now be known as such in sunny South Africa as well. Along with the change of name, the well-known Isuzu bakkie range will also be receiving fresh new features and exciting design adaptations.

From there, the global marketing team found that the 'D' could very well stand for durability, direct injection and diesel as well; while the 'max' portion of the moniker alludes to Isuzu's knack for designing vehicles that maximise on tech, performance, safety and comfort.
Apart from the name, have other upgrades been made?
