Isuzu has launched the 2019 D-Max V-Cross (facelift)
in India. The new model costs INR 15.51 lakh* in the standard grade and INR
17.03 lakh* in the higher Z grade. The facelifted Isuzu D-Max
V-Cross features new Bi-LED headlamps with LED DRLs that give it a more
contemporary and aggressive look, new radiator grille, redesigned fog lamps and
front bumper, black B-pillar, shark-fin antenna, new 18-inch alloy wheels and
LED tail lamps. Sapphire Blue and Silky Pearl White shades have been added to
the colour palette.
The design on the inside is no different from that
of the old model. New interior features of the facelifted model include
perforated black leather seats, 3D Electro-luminescent Meters with MID and 3
USB ports. The latest update brings passive keyless entry and engine start-stop
button also to the pickup truck. The new model is safer, thanks to the
inclusion of co-driver seat belt reminder, HSA (Hill Start Assist) and HDC
(Hill Descent Control) and more new safety equipment.
Under the hood, the 2019 Isuzu D-Max V-Cross has the
old BS-IV 2.5-litre diesel engine that produces 134 HP at 3,600 rpm
and 320 Nm of torque at 1,800-2,800 rpm. A 5-speed manual transmission and a
shift-on-fly 4WD system are standard. A BS-VI 1.9-litre diesel engine will
likely replace the old engine by March 2019.
