Urban Jungle

Isuzu Has Given The D-max V-cross A Mid-cycle Update, Making It A Bit More Sophisticated. So, What’s It Like To Live With In The Urban Jungle?

There’s no denying that the D-Max V-Cross stands out on our roads as an object of admiring glances. Such is its appeal that it found takers not only in off-road enthusiasts – who enjoy a spot of weekend off-roading every now and then – but also in those who just want a butch vehicle.

It seems that Isuzu has been carefully observing the market and, consequently, introduced the new top-end Z variant of the D-Max V-Cross. This new Z variant actually has some very handy new features, which substantially improve the comfort and convenience quotient of the car.

What makes it more comfortable?

To begin with, the D-Max V-Cross Z gets new and brighter LED projector headlamps and a much-needed reverse camera, which is quite helpful considering its rather long length. My only issue is the surprising lack of rear parking sensors, which, considering the sheer scale of this machine, should be absolutely mandatory.

That apart, to make your life more convenient, the driver’s seat is now electrically adjustable. Also, there are a host of new electronic driver aids, such as hill hold assist, hill descent control, and traction and stability control.
