History

It’s the year 1949 and The Tokyo Automobile Company has just been renamed Isuzu Motors Limited, the fans go wild and the rest is sweet, sweet history! Here at CMH Isuzu Umhlanga we’re passionate about the brand we’re a part of and the vehicles we get to deliver to you. Isuzu is a rich part of Japanese heritage and has grown expansively over the last 80yrs! Here’s a brief overview of Isuzu history for you so you can be confident that you’re purchasing only the best the next time you drive off in a brand-new Isuzu from us! From Japan’s first V8 water cooled diesel engine in 1950 to the strapping D-Max range launched in 2017, Isuzu has been making waves since the very start! Famous for their efficient, economical and reliable vehicles, the globally acclaimed manufacturers have brought out some knock-outs since their inception in 1937. The first vehicle introduced to South Africa in 1979 was the KB Range which went on to be South Africa’s bestselling one-ton bakkie for two consecutive years! 1993 saw the launch of the first double cab and need we say more? Over the next two decades Isuzu launched six KB ranges, broke world-wide records in 2010 at the 72hr Endurance Challenge, launched The Isuzu Off-Road Academy in 2011 where adventure fanatics could enhance their skills and rolled out limited edition bakkies in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2019 with the Midnite Special Edition, Serengeti Special Edition, X-Rider Limited Edition and the X-Rider Black Limited Edition respectively, Isuzu has certainly kept us enthralled! It’s safe to say Isuzu is a brand that never ceases to amaze, the latest D-Max range being an unrivalled addition to the South African bakkie market with its bold looks, super performance and competitive pricing!
