The new Vcross is not scheduled to hit Indian shores before 2019, that is confirmed, hence no point delaying your purchase. One more thing, I like the term "replacement vehicle" which you used for the Vcross replacing the Brio. I mean it's like a Blue Whale replacing an Ant lol: |

+ 1 JMD Isuzu guys at Pune told me the same. Updated V Crosss is expected in 2018 for sure, but they don't have a timeline. They were also quite sure on the 3.0 Ltr engine being available on the updated 2018 V Cross. My take on this is that Isuzu may plonk the 1.9 Ltr (Thai Spec) rather than the 3.0 Ltr (Aussie Spec). I would definitely want to wait for the updated V Cross with revised engine, 6 speed transmission and better interiors. |

Yes, it's true just spoke with few people from Isuzu , they told that they are launching dmax vcross with minor upgrade but no facelift as of now. Upgrade is limited only to side footsteps, CD player with reverse camera, semi leather seats and DRLs. No change in the exterior and DRLs also integrated to the present setup. They may increases the price to a tune of 1.5 lakhs it seems. This upgraded version will out in the market in the ending of Feb 2018 it seems. I want to upgrade stock tyres and alloys to 17 inch ones. I have called mahavir motors Isuzu dealer in vizag and asked them the price and available options. They quoted me 98k for SSM alloys and continental cross 255, 65 R 17 tyres. With exchange of stock alloys and tyres they quoted me 70k. If we want only SSM alloys, they quoted 65k. That means 4 continental cross tyres should cost 33k. I didn't understand their logic. So I asked them only tyres for 33k without alloys. But they are asking to buy both alloys and tyres together and they don't sell separately. |

Can you send the pictures of the alloys and tyres that you have upgraded. Today guys from Isuzu dealership called me and said that they would give the alloys for 54k without exchange. What about the noise of yoko geolander tyres? I'm asking about these tyres because previously i have used geolander tyres on my Thar and Xuv 5oo. In spite of proper balancing and rotation also, there is tyre noise in both cars after some 20k kms in Xuv and 10k kms in Thar. |

| DRIVELINES & GEOMETRY: UNDERSTANDING PINION AND DRIVESHAFT ANGLE Posted in How To: Transmission Drivetrain on July 1, 2012 SHARE THIS Sean P. HolmanContent Director, Four Wheeler Network Have you recently had your 4x4 lifted and are suffering from a harmonic oscillation that can both be felt and heard? Have you rebalanced your tires or swapped in newly balanced driveshafts only to discover the vibration still persists? If so, it is probably time to take a look at your pinion and driveline angles, or the relationship of your driveshaft to your transfer case and differentials. We’ve all been there and we can tell you that one of the biggest frustrations of 4x4 ownership is to have a persistent vibration you can’t chase down on a setup that cost you a wad of hard-earned cash. The key to eliminating driveline vibration is good geometry. You know, that subject in math class you swore to your parents you’d never use in real life. We won’t tell them our little secret, but a little lesson in geometry could extend the life of your driveshafts, increase the comfort of your 4x4, and make you fall in love with your rig all over again. So how does one go about measuring driveline angles? While it is true that you can go to the local hardware store and pick up an angle finder or use a modified protractor, there is an even easier way with a tool you probably already own—a smartphone. With sophisticated smartphones, all it takes to figure out your driveline angles is a free app you can download. Once you figure out what your operating angles are, you’ll have a better idea of how much your pinion needs to be adjusted to minimize vibration. These days, determining driveline slopes is as easy as downloading a free smartphone app and using your phone as a measuring device. With your tool of choice in hand, it is time to start measuring. You’ll need to know the slope of your transfer case output, driveshaft, and pinion as they relate to level ground. Once you know the slope, you can determine the net operating angle at the joint (either the transfer case side or pinion side of the driveshaft). If you are running a conventional two-U-joint-style rear driveshaft, the pinion slope should be about the same as the transfer case slope, as the rotations of the joints at opposite ends of the driveshaft will cancel each other out, delivering smooth power. If these angles are off just a few degrees, the U-joints will not be in phase and you are setting yourself up for vibration. |

The seat covers and mats look fabulous. Where did you get them from and for how much? |

Seat covers, brought from Xtreme car decors vizag for 15k. These seat covers are manufactured in Bangalore. 3D mats also brought from Xtreme car decors, Vizag for 8000/- |

Nice!! Are the seat covers leather? And are the mats specific for V-Cross? They look really good. |
