Better than sticking with products that are a generation old and paying more than what the new generation is sold for, across the seas!

Isuzu I dont know why they dont realize they have a highly admired product. They should launch the New Thailand based Dmax (vcross) in India and possibly sell this older gen vcross at a lower price in India in possible 4x2 guise. I own a 2017 Vcross and love my truck, but get a feeling that Isuzu does not care for the market here.

Isuzu DECA GXZ. Could be from an ASEAN or far east country that drives RH.

This sort of attitude by the automobile manufacturers is much to be thought about. Why are they hesitant to launch products as per the global release or generation updates?

Much to be thought about product development and the audience they consider. Maybe the Indian audience is considered 10 years away for any change

Maybe this is the market for them to cover up their balance sheets to prove ROI during those annual beer meets

[Boomerang]

If this is true, then it is a mishmash of the current 1.9, most recently updated D-MAX Vcross sold internationally and parts made in India.

- Fog lamps are not double lamps. It is a single one
- Headlight - new design but made in India, double barrel ones
- Tail light design - remains the same
- Dashboard - remains the same with an addition of new infotainment. Even the AT seems to be the same.
- Steering - remains the same
- Rear middle seat - No headrest
- Engine - I am confident will remain 1.9 L D

I hoped that the new gen Vcross 3L launched in Thailand could make it through to Indian market. Sad, but true it will be.

Am sure Isuzu continuing with this aged platform will keep the erstwhile limited owners of Chevrolet Trailblazer in India, HAPPY! Their model is still alive today!

2024 Isuzu V-Cross pick-up launched at Rs 21.20 lakh

Isuzu has launched the 2024 V-Cross pick-up truck in India. The updated model is priced from Rs 21,19,900 (ex-showroom).



Isuzu has made several changes to the V-Cross for the 2024 model year. The pick-up truck gets a new front bumper guard, engine hood garnish, rear combo lamp garnish, fender lips, and black alloy wheels.

Significant improvements have been made when it comes to occupant safety. The V-Cross now features traction control, electronic stability control, hill descent control and hill start assist. It also gets rear seat occupant detection sensors with 3-point seat belts for all three rear seat occupants and a seat belt warning indicator.



Speaking of passengers in the rear, the V-Cross is fitted with new rear seats that offer a higher degree of inclination.

The new V-Cross is powered by a 1.9-litre, 4-cylinder diesel engine that makes 163 BHP and 360 Nm. The engine is paired with either a 6-speed manual or a torque converter automatic. The pick-up truck is also available with a 4-wheel drive system.

2024 Isuzu V-Cross ex-showroom prices:

Hi-Lander – Rs 21.20 lakh
Z AT 2WD – Rs 25.80 lakh
Z MT 4WD – Rs 25.52 lakh
Z Prestige MT 4WD – Rs 26.92 lakh
Z Prestige AT 4WD – Rs 30.96 lakh

So it's still the pre-facelift version. Even Toyota sells the new(ish) Hilux here. Also, the 4WD AT is perhaps a few lakhs too much for what it is.

[Turbolove]

With the discounts going on the Hilux, the V cross top model would definitely overlap with the Hilux, makes one wonder what the folks at Isuzu are smoking to set such high pricing.

[Amrit@wheels]

This launch is the biggest insult to the already insulted Indian customers right now. 4WD AT at 31L ex-showroom is laughable. Anyone with a brain would go straight to Toyota and get the Hilux. Heck, I'd rather wait for the Scorpio N pick up or get the 4x4 AT version than pay so much money for this dinosaur. Shame, I actually love the reliability offered by Isuzu but this is just a rip-off!

[84.monsoon]

Auto manufacturers, please stop these laughable launches! A few weeks ago, it was Skoda relaunching it's 8 year old Superb at 54 lakhs and now, Isuzu is launching its 12 year old DMax model, originally launched in 2012 in the rest of the world, at a ridiculous 30+ lakh price point! In the case of the Dmax, a new generation arrived in the rest of the world 4 years ago! Seriously, these companies do not deserve to be in India - these types of "launches" are plain insulting to Indian consumers.

[MB4DI]

The only regret for which, I had to sell my 8 month old 2020 Isuzu Vcross was its very poor low end torque. My vehicle had 2.5L engine at that time. This vehicle was notorious for eating clutch plates for that very reason.

In Thailand, they provide both 1.9L and 3.0L DDI engines.

This latest launch of Vcross with 1.9L DDI engine won't stand a chance against the Toyota Hilux 2.8L. I had thought, that Isuzu would launch its latest version of Dmax as Vcross with sensible pricing to attract potential customers, but to my surprise, they again did a massive blunder by still giving the same old look with small displacement engine.

Innova Crysta - 343Nm@1400-2800rpm
Isuzu 1.9 - 350Nm @ 1800-2600 RPM

Isuzu 2.5 - 176Nm@1500-2400rpm

The 1.9 has twice the torque of your 2.5


Ofcourse this is nowhere near the Hilux, but then neither is the price.

Please, have a look at correct figures !

Toyota Hilux (India) 2.8L has 420Nm @ 1400 - 3400rpm

Isuzu Dmax (Thailand) 3.0L has 450Nm @ 1600 - 2600rpm


Toyota India and Isuzu overseas give better lower end torque figures at lower RPMs, whereas the Indian versions of Vcross misses heavily on torque availability at lower RPMs.


Isuzu Vcross (India) 1.9L has 360Nm @ 2000 - 2500rpm

Isuzu Vcross (India) 2.5L 4JK1 engine has 320Nm @ 1800 - 2800rpm, the one which I had.

The 176Nm specification comes in 4JA1 engine, which was used in different variant of D-max targeted towards commercial segment.
