Isuzu Truck UK will introduce its new generation of commercial vehicles at RTX 2026, marking the biggest overhaul of its product line-up in its 30-year UK history, writes Peter Brown.
The new P700 product range to be revealed includes 3.5-tonne, 7.5-tonne and 13.5-tonne chassis. The cabs are available as narrow, day and crew cabs, with new variants including a crew cab model for the first time at 6.5 tonnes, joining the existing crew cab option already available at 7.5 tonnes.
Speaking ahead of the launch, the MD of Isuzu Truck UK, Pete Murphy, said the new generation is engineered to be safer, quieter and more efficient, while maintaining Isuzu’s unmistakable identity.
“With the new P700 range, we are not just raising the bar for safety, comfort and efficiency, but also giving our customers more choice, with several new model variants being introduced to widen our appeal,” he explained.
The new generation also includes LED lights, air conditioning and satellite navigation as standard, with an in-cab infotainment system offering Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
Isuzu Truck is also unveiling a third engine choice within its 7.5-tonne range: a 3.0-litre turbo-intercooled diesel engine producing 175, which slots neatly between the existing 3.0-litre 150 and 5.2-litre 190 diesel engine options.
It will come complete with the new ISIM (Isuzu Smooth Intelligent Transmission) dual-clutch nine-speed gearbox, available across the N-Series range from 5.5 to 7.5 tonnes.
Completing the additions will be a longer 5,320mm wheelbase variant for the F-Series range at 13.5 tonnes, giving customers a choice of five wheelbase lengths starting from 3,790mm.
“This is the culmination of a huge investment in R&D across Isuzu Motors and follows the successful introduction of the new range into other key markets globally, including North America, Australia and our home market in Japan,” Pete Murphy said.
“We are confident the P700 range will be incredibly well received in the UK, and we’re genuinely counting the days until our order books formally open early in July.”
