The double cabin pickup also benefits from a new rear door with a larger integrated spoiler and revised taillight graphics.
The Isuzu D-Max V-Cross 4×4 looks more solid thanks to the extra plastic layer around the grille, aluminum-style skid plate, wide fenders and 18-inch matte black alloy wheels.
Entering the cabin, the Isuzu D-Max is now equipped with a 9-inch touch screen for infotainment with touch-sensitive buttons. There are still physical knobs for volume and tune underneath combined with a 7-inch digital instrument cluster.
