Engine: 1.9L VGS Turbo Diesel
The 2026 V-Cross is powered by a refined 1.9-litre, 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. It delivers 163 hp and 360 Nm of torque. While a newer 2.2L "MaxForce" engine has been debuted globally, the Indian 2026 facelift continues with this reliable 1.9L unit, known for its flat torque curve and robust low-end pull.
Drive Type: Shift-on-the-fly 4WD (Standard)
In a major strategy shift for 2026, Isuzu has discontinued the 4x2 variants for the V-Cross. All models now feature the Shift-on-the-fly 4WD system, allowing drivers to switch between 2H, 4H, and 4L modes. It also includes a high-torque mode and an electronic differential lock for serious terrain.
