Isuzu V-Cross prices hiked by up to Rs. 2.09 lakh

Isuzu has increased the prices of its D-Max pickup truck and MU-X SUV effective January 2022.



The prices of the D-Max V-Cross Z 4x2 AT have been increased by Rs. 2.09 lakh, followed by the Hi-Lander, which now costs Rs. 2.07 lakh more. Prices of the V-Cross ZZ Prestige 4x4 AT and V-Cross Z 4x4 MT have also been increased by Rs. 1.10 lakh and Rs. 1.09 lakh, respectively.

Isuzu also offers the MU-X SUV in India. Its prices have also been revised at the beginning of the new year. While the 4x2 variant now costs Rs. 14,727 more, the price of the 4x4 variant has been slashed by Rs. 1.51 lakh.

Increasing price by 1 Lakh+, assuming HIghlander will be placed much higher and hence no competitor!
I was thinking on the other end of the spectrum we probably have Bolero Camper! But not sure if it has 4x4 anymore. Can anyone confirm if it has 4x4?
Scorpio Getaway and Tata Zenon were beautiful 4x4 cars which just faded away, probably came too early.

Bolero Camper can be had in 4x4. But can you register and use it as a personal vehicle, and not as an LCV (yellow license plate)? Highlander here is a personal vehicle.

The Bolero Camper does come with 4x4 hardware but devoid of basic comfort like HVAC, and it can only be registered with yellow plates.

A bit confused here, is Isuzu serious about the Indian market or is it on war footing to to find a reason to quit the Indian market? They expect customers to shell out 25+ for an older model? Hilux with 35-40+ lacs will still find takers since it's a Toyota.

I see V-crosses rarely... here and there, but what I never realized until this thread today is that that it is a 25L vehicle! While the MUX is 35L
Isuzu seems to fly under the radar whenever current pricing of vehicles is being discussed.

Exactly! And the thing is, we bash the Fortuner for being so overpriced, while the MU-X offers a bare bones vehicle with minimal kit and a 4WD system for 40+ OTR. What shocked me more was checking the OTR figures for the Dmax Diesel Auto (30L+)... BONKERS! That's just a few lakhs below what we can expect the Hilux to be priced at. What is the buyer paying for in a Dmax Vcross? Tax rates and other policies have lead to monopolistic market scenarios in higher segments. It's the buyers who have the most to lose. Hope we get to see some healthy competition in the next 2-3 years in these segments

Post the recent price hike, the Audi A6 is being offered at a discount of around 13-15 lakhs in Mumbai. This is the initial offer quoted by the dealer and there would definitely be further room. I did not enquire further since i had already booked a BMW 330li.

Looks like Isuzu got wind of the Hilux pricing and calculated that even after increasing prices, it will still seem VFM to the Hilux

Or they maybe like, "Guys, we are anyways screwed. Let's grab whatever we can from the buyers."

Or they are planning to launch the next gen and don't want to give a shock price when it is launched. So gradually increasing the price of the existing one.

(sigh) when the Dmax spacecab was available for 7-8 lakhs...

Mahindra has also increased the prices of its cars. Thar MT Petrol HT has seen a price increase of 40K.

Mahindra Thar, Scorpio Bolero Neo, Marazzo prices hiked

Earlier this week, we had shared the revised prices of the Mahindra XUV700. Now, the prices of the Thar, Scorpio, Bolero Neo, Alturas G4 and Marazzo have also been hiked.



If you are planning to book a Mahindra Thar this year, you will have to shell out up to Rs 44,970 more depending on the variant. Similarly, prices of the Scorpio have also gone up by up to Rs 52,903.

The Bolero Neo is fairly new to the market. It's essentially an updated TUV300 and its prices have increased by Rs 21,995 - Rs 34,545. Prices of the Marazzo MPV and the Alturas G4 have been hiked by Rs 43,559 and Rs 7,200, respectively.

I find this really annoying, like how come such steep price increases are justified? This is the 3rd price hike in Thar since launch....I booked mine last year only and now will have to take a bullet of around 45k more

I am getting a 2021 MY Demo BMW X1 Petrol at a 3L additional discount to what the new 2021 MY model is available for. The car has run 9000 kms. I’ve never ventured into a demo car so don’t necessarily know if it is the right call or not.
Is there a room for more price negotations? And what all points should I consider/inspect if I were to purchase the vehicle?
Thank you!!

Definitely more room for a discount, if not, get the BSI added FOC. Bought a 6GT Demo vehicle at a discount of about 11 Lakhs last year. Given the current scenario, ofcourse the discounts won't be that deep but 3L is meagre for a 9k done vehicle.

I don't know where I heard this, but for a demo car, the discount from an ex-showroom car should be:
(No. of thousand kms)% + 5%(number of years)
I.e. for the X1's:
9%+5%= 14%
