2026 Isuzu D-Max V-Cross exterior design updates

For the top-spec D-Max V-Cross Z Prestige trim, Isuzu has added black surrounds to the grille, whereas the fog lamp trim pieces are now primarily body-coloured. Lower down, the bumper’s black cladding and chunky silver skid plate give way to a subtler body-coloured design.

Over to the sides, Isuzu has also removed the D-Max V-Cross’s wheel-arch body cladding, the Z Prestige trim’s 18-inch alloy wheels get a new 12-spoke diamond-cut design (Z Standard gets 16-inch steel wheels), and the outside rearview mirrors (ORVMs) have slimmer LED blinkers. The rear end sees no changes aside from the bumper’s chrome trim being replaced with gloss-black plastic.

The 2026 D-Max V-Cross Z Prestige trim comes equipped with a bigger 10.3-inch floating infotainment touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 360-degree camera and a surround sound system with up to 8 speakers. Isuzu has also added brown leatherette trim on the door liners and dashboard.

Under the bonnet, the D-Max V-Cross soldiers on with the same 1.9-litre diesel engine that makes 163hp and 360Nm and gets 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic gearbox options. Going forward, though, the D-Max V-Cross is available with 4x4 only.

Auto-locking differential for all variants

With this model year update, Isuzu has also included an auto-locking differential with all D-Max V-Cross variants, which should make for improved off-road performance.
