From the brochure scan images leaked online, the new Isuzu D-Max V-Cross is seen with an updated exterior and interior along with some new features.

From a visual standpoint, there is not much change to the front fascia of the model, which comes with the large grille and sweptback projector headlamps.

The side profile of the model now gets side steps. The changes at the rear include a reworked tailgate and a chrome handle. The top-end V-Cross High features a chrome-touched rear bumper, LED taillamps and LED Daytime Running Lamps (DRLs).

The cabin of the new Isuzu D-Max V-Cross facelift now includes a new touchscreen audio system in both the V-Cross and High variants. In addition to this, the V-Cross High also gets a six-way power-adjustable driver's seat, black leather upholstery and a multi-functional steering wheel with cruise control.

On the safety front, the pickup in its latest avatar also features electronic stability control and traction control.
