As versatile as they are, pickup trucks never caught on in the Indian market owing to their commercial body style. That didn’t stop Isuzu from operating a diverse pickup truck range in India. The company has now unveiled something that no one has done in the Indian CV market a Dark version of a commercial pickup truck.
Called Isuzu S-Cab Z Dark Series, it is India’s first and the only Dark Edition of a commercial vehicle. While India’s premium SUV buyers shied away from a pickup truck, Isuzu is making its commercial vehicle more premium than a conventional SUV. Let’s take a closer look at the finer details.
