Isuzu D-Max Utah V-Cross New for 2019 • Professional Pickup

The Isuzu D-Max Utah V-Cross is the latest model to join the Isuzu pickup line-up, offering a distinctive styling pack and a couple of extra creature comforts.

The V-Cross name has been used by Isuzu in different parts of the world for over 10 years, but this is the first time it has been used in the UK. V-Cross models are seen as the sporty version and are styled accordingly, with UK models receiving a front skirt and 18-inch V-Cross alloys.

Isuzu D-Max Utah V-Cross: Specification

Based on the higher specced Utah model, the V-Cross already benefits from plenty of useful features like LED and fog lights at the front and rear, automatic air conditioning, leather upholstery and heated front seats. There is also keyless entry and start, and a 7.0-inch touchscreen display with satellite navigation, steering wheel-mounted controls, a DAB radio, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Bluetooth connectivity.

The Isuzu D-Max V-Cross models, however, also come with two new features. The charging pad in the top glovebox allows smartphones with wireless charging capability to be charged without the need for cables, while the new front camera makes manoeuvring in tight spaces a lot easier by automatically switching when first gear is engaged from reverse.

Isuzu D-Max Utah V-Cross: Technical Specification

Under the bonnet is Isuzu’s 1.9-litre engine, producing 164hp and 360Nm, returning a respectable 40.4mpg and achieving Euro-6 without the need for AdBlue. The D-Max V-Cross has a payload of around 1,090kg (manual) and there is a joint-industry leading 3.5-tonne towing capacity.

Isuzu D-Max Utah V-Cross: Price and Availability

The V-Cross is available to pre-order now and will arrive into dealerships in January 2019. Manual versions are priced at £26,199 plus VAT – just £500 more than the standard Utah – while there is a £1,000 premium for automatic models. The model will be listed to just 100 vehicles in the UK, each of them backed by a five-year, 125,000-mile warranty, which is one of the best in the industry.
