 "Isuzu D-Max V-Cross: Irresistibly bold")
The Isuzu D-Max V-Cross Adventure Utility Vehicle comes out as practical and driver- friendly. Built on a ladder chassis, with double wishbone independent front wheel suspension and long span rear leaf suspension, the V-Cross has all the comforts of a passenger vehicle and the dynamism of a rugged 4X4. It has the design elements of a true off-roader.
The vehicle may be huge in size with a wide track and long wheelbase, but it's got a low centre of gravity, ensuring minimal body roll. Adding to its good looks are the skid plates with engine bottom guard and the vehicle sits on smart 16-inch alloy wheels. The roof rails enhance its sporty look. It also comes with large electrically foldable and adjustable Outside Rear View Mirrors, or ORVMs, with signal indicators.
Once you are seated inside the twin cabin, you realise that it's not only spacious but it's also noise-insulated. The vehicle comes with an automatic air conditioner with fine particle pollen filter, a 7-inch touch screen audio system with USB input, DVD, Aux, iPod and Bluetooth connectivity.
The moment you step on the accelerator, the engine lunges forward and the turbo kicks in much before the 2,000 rpm level. The hydraulic power-assist steering is easy to handle and ensures that you are able to take control of the beast.
