The changes feature a revised fascia with a redesigned mesh grille, redesigned bumpers, and revised headlamps with new LED signatures. The side profile remains pretty much unchanged sparing the new 18-inch alloy wheels.
The rear end gets revised treatment with the most noticeable being the tail lights which Isuzu calls a “triple armor” design.
Inside, there aren’t many noticeable changes other than the new & improved materials, a revised gauge cluster, and an added display for climbing & turning angle information.
Under the hood, the new Isuzu D-Max V-Cross retains the 3.0L 4JJ3-TCX diesel unit that generates 190hp of power and 450Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission or 6-speed automatic transmission with sequential shift.
