A test mule of the Isuzu D-Max V-Cross facelift has been spotted in Bangalore, which suggests that the vehicle could be launched in India in the coming months.

While the test mule was wearing heavy camouflage, we can spot side steps, roof rails and a shark fin antenna. 

The updated Isuzu D-Max V-Cross was unveiled at the 2017 Thailand Motor Expo. The vehicle sports a new grille finished in grey flanked by revised projector headlamps featuring integrated L-shaped LED DRLs. The front bumper has been tweaked and comes with grey inserts and a silver scuff plate. It also houses a pair of circular fog lamps. The pickup truck also gets new multi-spoke alloy wheels. 

In the international market, the new D-Max V-Cross is offered with a 3.0-litre, 4-cylinder diesel engine which makes 176 BHP and 380 Nm of torque and comes with either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission.

In India, Isuzu sells the D-Max V-Cross with a 2.5-litre, 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine that produces 134 BHP @ 3,600 rpm and 320 Nm of torque @ 1,800-2,800 rpm. The engine is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission and a selectable four-wheel drive system.
