Isuzu Motors India has launched the 2026 model of the V-Cross pickup truck, introducing key updates that enhance both capability and features, while reinforcing its rugged lifestyle orientation.

Design & Drivetrain Upgrade

The 2026 V-Cross retains its bold and muscular pickup stance, but with subtle exterior revisions that lend it a fresh look. These include a blacked-out grille surround, revised front bumper detailing, and new 18-inch alloy wheels that add to its rugged appeal. Notably, Isuzu has discontinued the 4×2 drivetrain — the V-Cross is now only offered in a 4×4 format across all variants, underlining its off-road focus.

Price & Variants

The updated model range starts at ₹25.50 lakh (ex-showroom) and goes up to ₹30.28 lakh (ex-showroom) depending on chosen variant and transmission. Isuzu offers both 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmission options in select trims, giving buyers flexibility in driving choice.

Interior & Features

Inside, the 2026 V-Cross steps up significantly with an emphasis on comfort and technology:

10.3-inch floating touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto

360-degree surround-view camera with blind-spot monitoring

Tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)

Wireless connectivity and enhanced speaker system

Cruise control, auto climate control, and power-adjustable driver seat

The interior cabin adopts a refined dual-tone theme and premium materials that elevate its appeal beyond basic utility.

Performance & Safety

Under the hood, the V-Cross continues with its dependable 1.9-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine, producing 163 PS of power and 360 Nm of torque. With 4×4 as standard, this drivetrain setup ensures confident performance both on highways and rugged terrain.

Safety remains comprehensive, with features such as:

Up to six airbags

ABS with EBD

Traction control, hill start & hill hold assist

ISO-FIX child seat mounts

Rear defogger

Verdict

The 2026 Isuzu V-Cross positions itself as a capable lifestyle pickup for enthusiasts and adventure seekers who want serious off-road ability without sacrificing modern tech and comfort. With the 4×4 system now standard and meaningful feature upgrades, it stands out as a strong contender in India’s premium pickup segment.
