In August 2014, Isuzu offers a limited edition variant of its popular KB 300 double cab – the Midnite Edition. The special edition will be limited to a production run of 500 units and will be on sale locally in September 2014.
Painted in red, white or metallic silver, the exterior of the Midnite Edition is enhanced by a black theme throughout. At the front, it gains a new black bumper guard adds and black radiator grille. It also gains black side-mirror caps, roof rails, side steps, window surrounds and black 17” alloys wheels.

At the rear, a standard tow hitch sits beneath a black rear bumper and the special design changes are completed by a black sportsbar behind the cab with Midnite Edition decals and branded door sill plates.
Each limited edition receives a special plaque with its unique unit number engraved on it. The interior is further bolstered with special Midnite Edition carpets.
