Isuzu D-Max V-Cross Pick-up - 2016 Auto Expo

The second-generation Isuzu D-Max V-Cross pick-up truck was unveiled to the Indian audience at the 2016 Auto Expo. Isuzu Motor India has announced that the pick-up will go on sale in the later this year with a price tag around INR 15 lakhs, with local production at the company's Chennai plant.

With the pick-up segment a niche with very few products, it can be said that the V-Cross is the best pick-up on sale in the Indian market.


The regular D-Max that is already in sale in India for some years is the older, first-generation model. The new V-Cross is more modern in terms of design and built quality, sharing its ladder chassis platform, construction and mechanical componentry, and interior design with the latest Chevrolet Colorado Pick-up, which is also on display at the auto expo. Further, the new pick-up gets the iGRIP feature – Isuzu Gravity Response Intelligent Platform - as claimed by the company.

Isuzu D-Max V-Cross will be priced around INR 15 lakhs, says the company.
Design wise, the V-Cross mimics the design and appeal of the Chevy Colorado in the sides, but its unique identity comes from an aggressive angular and upswept headlights and a more contemporary full-chrome grille that dominates the front fascia. At the rear, the vertical, boxy-looking tail lamps flank cargo bed of the pick-up. On the inside, the conventional dashboard design and dual-tone interiors are way better than the first-generation D-Max model.
