The D-Max Hi-Lander is a slightly premium version of the standard D-Max S-Cab.

Earlier this week, Isuzu launched the D-Max Hi-Lander. Now, if you already own an SUV, you can get benefits worth Rs. 1.50 lakh on this variant.

The D-Max Hi-Lander is a slightly premium version of the standard D-Max S-Cab and is positioned below the V-Cross.

The pick-up features a sportier front fascia with a redesigned front bumper, halogen headlamps, black ORVMs and steel wheels instead of alloys. Inside, the Hi-Lander gets manual air-conditioning and a 4-speaker audio system.

The Hi-Lander is powered by a 1.9-litre, 4-cylinder diesel engine that produces 161 BHP @ 3,600 rpm and 360 Nm @ 2,000-2,500 rpm. The engine is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.

The BS6-compliant D-Max V-Cross is available in two trims - Z and Z Prestige.

Isuzu has launched the BS6-compliant D-Max V-Cross and Hi-Lander at Rs. 24.49 lakh and Rs. 16.98 lakh (ex-showroom) respectively. The V-Cross is available in two trims - Z and Z Prestige.

The Hi-Lander is essentially a slightly premium version of the D-Max S-cab with 225 mm of ground clearance and no speed limiter.

Earlier this month, we had reported that Isuzu was likely to offer two variants of its dual-cab pick-up truck in India. Along with the regular V-Cross, the company will also launch a base-spec Hi-Lander variant. The latter has now been spotted at a dealership.

As expected, the Hi-Lander is pretty barebones. It is essentially a slightly premium version of the D-Max S-cab with 225 mm of ground clearance and no speed limiter. The steel wheels get silver wheel caps and the front bumper features a more sporty design.

The Hi-Lander gets a basic interior with manual air-conditioning. It also misses out on a touchscreen infotainment head-unit.

The Isuzu Hi-Lander could be offered with a 1.9-litre diesel engine. This particular vehicle is equipped with a manual transmission but doesn't seem to have an all-wheel-drive system.

The Hi-Lander variant is rumoured to cost Rs. 5 lakh more than the D-Max S-Cab.
