Isuzu has introduced the BS6 phase 2-compliant iterations of its India lineup: two pickups (V-Cross and Hi-Lander) and the mu-X SUV. All three cars have been given slight cosmetic tweaks and some feature upgrades. Let’s check them out:

Common Updates

The carmaker is offering a fresh “Valencia Orange” paint shade on all three models. Apart from the new paint option, the two pickups and the SUV now also come with idle-engine start/stop, low friction tyres and fluid warmer for the automatic transmission (AT) to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.

Changes On All 3 Cars

As evident, most of the feature upgrades have come for the V-Cross pickup in its Z 4X2 automatic variant, while the Hi-Lander and mu-X barely get any changes.

Powertrain Details

All the three cars get the same 1.9-litre diesel unit (163PS/360Nm). The V-Cross is the only model in the trio to get both 6-speed MT and 6-speed AT gearbox options. While the mu-X only comes with the latter, the Hi-Lander offers just the manual transmission. The Hi-Lander is only available in the 4x2 guise, while the other two can be had in both 4x2 and 4x4 versions.
