2022 Isuzu V-Cross Debuts Globally, Rivals Toyota Hilux

The facelifted 2022 Isuzu V-Cross pickup truck has finally made its international debut. The Isuzu V-Cross is one of the two vehicles that dominate the lifestyle pickup truck market in India. If its new uplifted version makes it to the Indian shores, it will be seen locking horns with its primary rival, the Toyota Hilux. 

The design of the 2022 Isuzu V-Cross international model is slightly different from its current-gen Indian counterpart. It features sharper LED headlamps with integrated LED DRLs. On its nose lies a massive front grille with two chrome bars. The top chrome bar has the Isuzu brand engraving on it. The fog lamps rest in a uniquely styled housing while the silver skid plate extending from the bottom completes its bold front look, making the silhouette of the truck appear muscular overall.
