Rumour: Isuzu planning a mini SUV for India

According to a media report, Isuzu is working on a mini SUV that could potentially be launched in the Indian market. While there is demand for such a product in India, the company is yet to take a final call on it. The carmaker hasn't provided any more details about the new mini SUV.

Currently, Isuzu offers the MU-X SUV and three versions of the D-Max pick-up in India. The company has said that it could launch more variations of its current line-up in the future.

Isuzu is also working with local suppliers to increase localization in its products. The company hasn't ruled out the possibility of manufacturing the MU-X locally. At present, the SUV is imported as a completely knocked-down (CKD) unit. Hybrid options are also being considered as long as they fit the mass market cost requirements.
