| Rodeo pickup sets economy record |
A standard Isuzu Rodeo pickup has set a new fuel economy record by achieving a remarkable 52.01 mpg after being driven virtually non-stop from Land's End to John o'Groat's.
The luxury four-door five-seat Rodeo Denver Max covered the entire 853-mile trip on a single tank of fuel, using only 16.4 gallons to achieve the record.
It is the first time a diesel-engined one-tonne pickup has completed the challenge and the entire exercise took 22 hours from start to finish.
The 3.0 litre Rodeo was driven by Chris Roberts, Dealer Principal at Isuzu dealership St Austell Motor Group, Cornwall, supported by Service Technician co-driver, Matt Saunders
Chris said: We practiced a little beforehand to discover the most economical engine speed band which we established at around 1,600 rpm. That means about 38 mph but we allowed ourselves up to 60 mph on downhill stretches. The only extra was a cover for the load-bed which reduces drag, otherwise the Rodeo was straight out of the box.
He added: We made sure we had a good meal prior to setting off and deliberately started at 8 pm to avoid heavy traffic, finally arriving at John o'Groat's 22 hours later after one meal stop and the inevitable toilet breaks.
I first had the idea of an economy drive earlier this year as customers began telling me how economical the Rodeo was in day-to-day driving. We would definitely do it again but think this figure will take some beating from rival pickup manufacturers.
Winner of a host of accolades, the Isuzu Rodeo range now starts at £13,990 (on the road but excluding VAT) for the new 2.5 litre Denver Max.
All models have alloy wheels, air-conditioning, leather trimmed steering wheel, a Pioneer CD/tuner/MP3 player, tinted electric windows, ABS with EBD and three-point seatbelts for all five occupants.
The best-selling 3.0 litre models boast a 3,000 kg braked towing limit and all have especially long 12,000 mile service intervals.
And until 30 September, Isuzu is offering automatic transmission free of charge on all Rodeo Denver 3.0 Max and Max LE models.
This is a £1,000 saving, meaning the Rodeo 3.0 Denver Max auto costs £15,990 and Denver Max LE is priced at £19,990 (on the road but excluding VAT). |
| New, ultimate-luxury Rodeo ltd edition |
Isuzu has launched a new, ultimate-luxury Rodeo five-seat, four-door double-cab pickup called the Denver Max LE with almost £6,000 worth of accessories for just over £2,000 extra.
Priced at £19,990 On-The-Road (excluding VAT), the Denver Max LE adds a Prodrive Performance Pack, 18 ins Prodrive alloy wheels with 255/60 Pirelli Scorpion Zero tyres, two-tone leather seats and door inserts, a Prodrive Mesh grille, a tough load-liner and an XTC hard top.
Also standard is a Bluetooth kit, SmartNav satellite navigation with touchscreen, one year's free SmartNav subscription, one year's free RAC Trackstar subscription and three months' free use of SafeSpeed.
Other Max features include a soft-type front A-bar with chrome insert, chrome side steps, rear chrome bumper and light guards and brushed steel door entry guards.
This is in addition to air-conditioning, a radio/CD-player, four electric windows, leather-wrapped steering wheel, keyless-entry and selectable 'shift-on-the-fly' 4WD or 2WD at speeds up to 60 mph.
The new manual-transmission-only LE is the result of Isuzu dealer demand. It will be restricted to a total of 100 units in either Astral Silver or Black Sapphire metallic.
Its Prodrive Performance Pack boosts the 3.0 litre turbo-diesel engine's power from 131 PS to 155 PS at the same 3,800 rpm, while torque rockets from 206.5 lb.ft to a solid 258.1 lb.ft at the same 2,000 rpm.
Apart from stronger throttle response, increased flexibility and greater refinement, the 0-60 mph acceleration time is reduced from 16.8 seconds to 12.4 seconds.
Highly-Successful Denver Max SDT Offer Extended
And in another Isuzu initiative, the highly successful Rodeo Denver Max SDT special edition is being extended throughout 2006.
Thanks to popular demand, the Denver Max SDT will now be available in both manual and automatic transmission formats and in a wider choice of colours.
These models feature SmartNav and all the subscription benefits of the new LE together with the Max styling kit. Priced at £15,990 (manual) and £16,990 (automatic) OTR but excluding VAT, the latest Denver Max SDT represents a saving of £1,639 compared to the existing Denver Max.
