Revised Styling
To provide the pickup trick with a fresh look, Isuzu has introduced several new styling elements to the V-Cross, albeit exclusively on the top-spec Z Prestige variant. Setting it apart from the standard V-Cross, the Z Prestige variant features striking dark grey accents adorning the revised front bumper, grille, fog lamp surrounds, and roof rails. Additionally, it boasts a stylish matte black finish for the 18-inch alloy wheels and black treatment for the side mirrors, complementing the darkened theme applied to other components. Furthermore, the headlamps and taillights also receive a smoked garnish finish, giving the pickup a more aggressive allure and rugged appeal.
Upgraded Safety
As part of the 2024 update, all manual transmission variants now come standard with traction control, hill hold and hill descent control, and electronic stability control (ESC). Enhancing the safety features, the 2024 V-Cross pickup now also includes 3-point seatbelts for all seats, along with a load sensor and seat belt reminder for each seat. Besides, features like six airbags and reverse parking cameras will continue to be on offer.
Improved Comfort & Convenience
Isuzu has improved the incline backrest angle for rear seat occupants to improve comfort.
Besides that, the Isuzu V-Cross’s feature lineup remains unchanged, boasting amenities like a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, an 8-speaker sound system, auto AC, cruise control, powered side mirrors, and much more.
No Changes Under The Hood
The Isuzu V-Cross continues to use the same 1.9-litre diesel engine that makes 163PS and 360Nm. Both manual and automatic transmissions are offered, with the 4×2 variant available exclusively with an automatic transmission, while the 4×4 variant offers both manual and automatic options. Isuzu has now also offered the 6-speed manual transmission option with the Z Prestige variant.
