Isuzu V-Cross 1.9L diesel has been introduced in India with segment-first six-speed automatic transmission in a new variant

Isuzu D-Max V-Cross pickup truck has received a new ‘Z-Prestige’ variant in the domestic market today and it gets the long-awaited 1.9-litre Ddi diesel engine paired with the segment-first six-speed automatic transmission. The Japanese manufacturer says the new powertrain will offer “distinct driving experience on or off-road”.

The brand new engine, which is already on sale in the international markets, produces a maximum power output of 150 PS and 350 Nm of peak torque. It is more powerful and fuel-efficient than the outgoing motor. The lifestyle pickup truck has created a niche for itself in the Indian UV space and the new variant is hoping to take that a step further.

The interior of the Isuzu V-Cross Z-Prestige variant adorns a dual-tone Brown-Grey combination perforated leather seats, soft-touch materials on the dashboard and door trims, live-surround speakers on the roof and so on. Along with upping the premium and convenience nature of the V-Cross, the new safety features added are six-airbags (driver, front passenger, front Side and curtain) and BOS (Brake-Override System).
