The Giga C and E Series models from Isuzu Trucks are set to make their debut in New Zealand later this year, featuring key safety upgrades and feature enhancements.

The list of new developments of the Giga C and E Series models is highlighted by added safety features, an all-new cab design and a new cab option, as well as a new additional warranty cover.

“The new Giga C and E Series models add to Isuzu Trucks proven reputation and will significantly enhance what we are able to offer our customers, thanks to an expanded range which now consists of 29 models,” said Dave Ballantyne, general manager of Isuzu Trucks New Zealand

New safety features are at the forefront of the new Giga C and E Series models, including the introduction of an electronic brake system with electronic stability control and hill start assist, autonomous emergency braking and lane departure warning. Autonomous cruise control and adaptive driving beam also feature across the Giga portfolio.

The refreshed cab design, introduced for the first time on the 2022 Model Year, delivers improvements to driver ergonomics, including an all-new ISRI seat.

A new multi-information display conveys a variety of information.

The availability of an all-new, ‘Super High’ cabin, available on the Giga CYJ530 and EXY530 MT/AMT models, enhances all-round functionality. Included in the new design is the introduction of a number of roof mounted storage spaces.

A new look lights package consists of front LED with auto headlights and LED rear lamps.

At the heart of the Giga is the 6WG1 engine, retained for its reliable reputation.  The engine ratings remain carryover compared with the current VC36 model range, with the exception of the 400hp models which increase to 420hp.

From a mechanical perspective, the Eaton RTLO18918 is now standard across all manual transmissions and a clutch brake replaces the counter shaft brake for these transmissions.

All 29 Giga models in the range now feature a new additional warranty cover, taking the total warranty period to five-years or 500,000km warranty – at no extra cost.

Isuzu Truck dealers around the country are taking orders on the new models now, with the first of the new arrivals anticipated in land in Q3 of this year.
