2018 Isuzu D-Max V-Cross will receive a price hike of 3 to 4 per cent
Stating the reason for this new price hike, Isuzu Motors India says that the increase in price is due to the increasing input and distribution costs. Incidentally, it was just a couple of month ago, in September 2018 that the company increased the price of all D-Max models, right from the Regular Cab models to the 4x4 adventure Pickup - D-Max V-Cross, by 2 to 3 per cent, seeing a hike in ex-showroom price between Rs. 20,000 and Rs. 50,000.
That time around the company did not touch the price of the MU-X, considering the SUV was supposed to receive a facelift in October. The 2018 Isuzu MU-X facelift was launched in India with prices starting at Rs. 26.34 lakh for the 4x2 version, going up to Rs.28.31 lakh for the 4x4 version (both prices ex-showroom, Delhi). The D-Max V-Cross, on the other hand, is currently priced at Rs. 14.82 lakh to Rs. 16.31 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
