The 2026 Isuzu V-Cross pickup launches in India with standard 4x4, new 18-inch wheels, modern cabin, 10.3-inch touchscreen practical upgrades for city and off-road use.

The 2026 model of Isuzu’s popular D-Max V-Cross is now available in India. It is priced from Rs 25.50 lakh to Rs 30.28 lakh. This time company has done something different. They removed the 4x2 versions completely. Now every variant comes with 4x4 as standard.

This decision clearly shows that Isuzu is focusing more on lifestyle and adventure buyers, not just normal commercial use.

Better Control for Rough Roads

The new V-Cross now gets shift-on-the-fly 4WD system in all variants. This means driver can switch modes easily when road conditions change. Along with this, an auto-locking rear differential is also given in whole range.

For people who travel in hills, village roads or construction areas, this feature will be very helpful. Many pickups in this price range do not offer such setup as standard.
