Isuzu Hi-Lander – What is it?
Isuzu was the first brand to introduce customers to lifestyle vehicles in the country. No other brand has officially forayed into the pickup truck market and Isuzu has been gaining the first-mover advantage since. The brand launched its pickup truck, the D-Max V-Cross back in 2016 which also was the brand’s first Made-in-India product. The car, however, was later discontinued in 2020 due to the strict BS6 norms. This year, the brand is back with its updated products that comply with the BS6 emission norms. Today’s article will deal with Isuzu Hi-Lander which is the entry-level variant of the premium V-Cross and we will understand what it basically is.
Design
Isuzu Hi-Lander follows the basic design of the V-Cross. However, the car being a base variant subtly differs from the premium variants. The car gets greyed-out ORVMs & front grille. The only chrome that you can find on the exterior will be with the tailgate handles. Also, the pickup is provided with halogen headlamps that come with no LED treatment whatsoever. Coming to the interiors, the dark tone theme is followed on the inside as well. The car being a base model gets limited elements and features which we will discuss below.
