Isuzu Reveals Its All New 2020D-Max Pick-Up “The V-Cross”

Isuzu Motors has finally pulled the wraps off the next-gen 2020 D-Max pick-up truck range in Thailand, ahead of the SUV’s official debut slated for October 19.

Globally, the D-Max pick-up truck has been in the market since 2011 and is finally getting a generation upgrade after 8 years. The company has revealed all the models, right from the entry-level 2-door single cab pick-up truck to the flagship model, the D-Max V-Cross.

The 2020 Isuzu D-Max pick-up incorporates the ‘Infinite Potential’ theme, featuring a more rugged and butch design, with premium styling elements. Starting with Thailand, the new-gen Isuzu D-Max range will make its entry in other global markets before coming to India in 2020, possibly in the first half.

Visually, the new Isuzu D-Max V-Cross is truly the star of the show featuring the large 2-slat black grille, flanked by a pair of restyled headlamps with projector lights, LED daytime running lamps, and matching black details.

The bumper is all-new featuring muscular lines with vertically stacked twin fog lights. Its also equipped with a skid plate added for that rugged look of the pick-up. The other models get a similar treatment with the addition of chrome slats, while the entry-level model gets simple halogen headlamps with simple round fog lamps in black housings.
