Isuzu Motors India started its operations in India in 2012, and over the last four years has studied the Indian customers’ requirements, while establishing its sales & service network along with the set-up of its local manufacturing operations. The state of the art manufacturing plant of Isuzu Motors India was inaugurated in April 2016 which will build the new generation of D-MAX pickups and the V-Cross Adventure Utility Vehicle.
Speaking about ISUZU’s participation at the India 4X4 Week 2016, Capt. Shankar Srinivas, Senior. General Manager, Communications, PR & External Affairs, Isuzu Motors India said, “We are excited to be a part of the 1st edition of the India 4X4 week, where we are showcasing the newly introduced ISUZU D-MAX V-Cross, India’s first Adventure Utility Vehicle. ISUZU has a strong legacy of making tough, durable and rugged vehicles that can perform in the most demanding terrains.

ISUZU D-MAX V-Cross is a tough and durable Adventure Utility Vehicle, with aggressive styling and a highly capable shift-on-the-fly 4WD; the V-Cross also carries a load of safety and contemporary features that offer customers a premium driving experience. Apart from the off-roading enthusiasts, the V-Cross is also a good match for those personal vehicle buyers who want to showcase their individuality in urban settings and stand out from the current crowd of SUV owners in the market.
As per Cougar Motorsport’s Founder & Director Mr. Ashish Gupta, “This is the first time that over 14 of India’s most prominent 4X4 clubs and institutions have collaborated with a national level convention with an aim of bringing together the entire 4X4 community of India. Therefore, India 4X4 is the perfect avenue for a company that is functioning in this space to connect with its target audience. I am happy that ISUZU has decided to come forward not only as an exhibitor but as a partner by sponsoring some of the interesting sessions. I am sure that the visitors are going to have a superb experience while test-driving the V-Cross on the tracks designed to showcase all the major highlights of this amazing vehicle.”
