Isuzu Motors India has launched the updated 2026 model of the V-Cross pickup in India, with prices beginning at Rs. 25.50 lakh, ex-showroom. The latest model year refresh brings a revised styling package, an expanded feature list, and a key change to the drivetrain lineup, reinforcing its appeal in the premium pickup segment.
For the 2026 update, Isuzu has discontinued the 4x2 drivetrain option, making four-wheel drive standard across the entire V-Cross range. It is now available in multiple variants, including Z Standard, Z Premium, Z Prestige Standard and Z Prestige Premium, with prices going up to around Rs. 30.28 lakh, ex-showroom.
The 2026 V-Cross carries over its robust silhouette but gets a few noticeable design updates. The front bumper has been reworked with reduced plastic cladding and a blacked-out lower grille section, giving the pickup a cleaner and slightly more refined look. New 18-inch alloy wheels replace the previous design, while the black wheel-arch cladding has been removed for a more streamlined appearance.
Inside the cabin, the V-Cross sees a meaningful feature upgrade. The older 9-inch infotainment screen has been replaced with a larger 10.3-inch floating touchscreen that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A 360-degree camera system and tyre pressure monitoring system are now part of the equipment list. The top-spec trims also benefit from an eight-speaker audio system and enhanced trim elements.
Under the bonnet, the V-Cross continues with the familiar 1.9-litre diesel engine that produces 161bhp and 360Nm of torque. Buyers can choose between a six-speed manual and a six-speed automatic gearbox, both linked to a shift-on-the-fly four-wheel-drive system with an auto-locking differential as standard.
