After being confined in the city for a long time, I will yearn for all kinds of "wild" wantonness and joy, get rid of the confinement of reinforced concrete and look up to see the narrow gray sky, and go to the colorful things in my heart. And such an escape journey is destined to be inseparable from a reliable partner. If it can be a pickup truck, it will be icing on the cake. When Jiangxi Isuzu's new D-MAX V-CROSS drove me unscrupulously on the Bailitian Road, um, let the dust fly a little bigger.
Focus on:
1. Equipped with the original Jinlan Power III RZ4E engine, with a maximum power of 130kW and a maximum torque of 410N.m;

5. Meet L2 level intelligent driving assistance, equipped with 11 radars + 5 cameras
As a well-known pickup truck manufacturer, JiangxiIsuzu D-MAX(configuration|inquiry)can be said to be well-known in the circle.However, at the moment when pickup trucks continue to introduce new ones, the boss must also keep pace with the times and continue to enrich them.Coincidentally, 2023 is the tenth year of Jiangxi Isuzu's establishment. At such a node, there is the new Jiangxi Isuzu D-MAX V-CROSS that I will introduce to you today.
When you read this article, Jiangxi Isuzu's new D-MAX V-CROSS has been officially launched. The whole series has launched a total of 4 models. 188,800 yuan, 210,800 yuan for the Yueling four-wheel drive version, and 220,800 yuan for the leading four-wheel drive version.
Recently, I have driven two pickup trucks with different power forms in a row, and I am also proud of the adjustment of the power system of each.So today's introduction starts with motivation.The characteristics of diesel vehicles are self-evident, such as high torque and low fuel consumption. With the support of modern technology, diesel vehicles have the same environmental performance as gasoline engine models.But it also has its own disadvantages, the noise is too loud, and in some places it is restricted by regulations and cannot be played happily.
Jiangxi Isuzu's new D-MAX V-CROSS is equipped with a Jinlan Power third-generation RZ4E engine. Engineers have brought a brand-new electronically controlled turbine to it. At the same time, it is equipped with ultra-high pressure 9-hole injectors and a segmented rotary combustion chamber. After such a "toss", the new D-MAX V-CROSS can obtain the maximum torque output at 1500rpm.In addition, the more sufficient atomization effect has also improved the combustion efficiency again. The official finally gave a fuel consumption score of 7.2L/100km, and the maximum battery life can reach 1100km+.
But this is not the end, the technical "BUFF" brings more intelligent performance, when driving in high altitude areas, the vehicle will automatically adjust the air intake according to the altitude change, and improve the low torque output.Minimize the impact of high altitude on power output.At the same time, comprehensive off-road information can also be displayed on the dashboard, such as wheel steering degrees, high pressure, altitude, and throttle opening.It is not difficult to see from these details that Jiangxi Isuzu's new D-MAX V-CROSS is a pickup truck that wants to go wild in its bones.
Speaking of the specific driving performance, on flat road conditions, the start of this diesel car is no different from that of a gasoline car, but it may be that the car has not yet reached the full state of the final mass production line, and this car needs to be given More throttle depth to wake it from lethargy.As mentioned earlier, the gas pedal opening prompt on the instrument panel is now useful, and you can gradually grasp its temperament, whether it is more or less, whether it is deep or shallow.Intuitive data gives you the basis to determine its best performance, and slowly, it will gradually get better.You can also retract it freely, keeping it in a state of excitement all the time.
The steady stream of power provides the guarantee for a cheerful forward movement, and the rest is handed over to the suspension and chassis to polish the unevenness of the details.The chassis suspension of the new D-MAX V-CROSS adopts a three-stage variable stiffness coil spring to enhance comfort and load carrying capacity. , can provide relatively excellent stability and comfort, and is also in line with the current design ideas of high-end pickup trucks for passenger use.
The performance of the ZF 8AT is also indispensable. From the perspective of driving experience, it is more willing to actively upshift, and can complete the shift command within 0.2s. At the same time, its first gear has a speed ratio of 5.0, an increase of 38 %, stronger climbing ability.
In the inherent cognition, the noise of diesel pickup trucks is extremely annoying, and the rattling sound of the diesel engine will also disturb the beauty of the journey.NVH and smoothness are particularly important at this time.Thanks to Isuzu's redesigned precision supercharger, combined with Isuzu's dynamic fuel parameter calibration, it not only improves supercharging efficiency, but also further enhances NVH performance, reduces vehicle noise and body resonance, and more, the new D-MAX Key components such as pistons and valves on the V-CROSS have been strengthened, and the main features are reliability and durability.
If you want to see the beautiful scenery, you have to conquer more difficult roads.The Bailitian Road on the dam is not only flat and straight, but also full of non-paved roads such as curved, undulating, and shell craters of different depths.At this time, the advantages of the strengthened body material and structure are revealed, plus the eight-horizontal and two-vertical non-load-bearing body, you only need to hold the steering wheel, and you can adjust the mode to 4H, even if the body has a larger roll angle , or even if a tire is hanging in the air, don't panic.It can still provide enough grip and passability.The brand-new D-MAX V-CROSS also has the capability of wading depth of 800mm. When encountering some small rivers and ditches in the wild, you can indulge yourself a little bit.
There is another impressive point in the experience. There are many continuous downhill sections on undulating mountain roads. Common sense tells us not to brake too frequently for a long time, which will cause the brake heat to fade, thereby reducing the braking effect.But you can't stop stepping on it. Are there any compensation measures?With the NID technology of the new D-MAX V-CROSS, the computer will analyze the braking force and slope. During the continuous downhill process, the engine will actively apply the brakes and apply additional braking force. There is no particularly strong sense of drag during the whole process. can accept.However, it is still recommended to keep a good distance from the vehicle in front when going downhill, and try to avoid sudden braking.
The new D-MAX V-CROSS adopts Bosch steering system, and the total number of turns of the steering wheel is reduced by 10%.Sport, standard and comfort are also introduced in the steering mode, and can be set synchronously with the driving mode.This is basically the same as light at low speeds and heavy at high speeds in daily driving.The set steering damping will increase with the speed, and the process performance is very linear.Thanks to the relatively compact body size, it is more brisk when merging or turning around.
Speaking of volume, in the pickup circle, Isuzu's new D-MAX V-CROSS has an overall size of 5280/1900/1850mm and a wheelbase of 3125mm.But it is still considered "petite" among many opponents.
This "petite" advantage is obvious on roads and curved mountain roads. When you step on the accelerator deeply and need to overtake, with the continuous downshift of the transmission, the car body is brisk and the speed is increased obviously, and the feeling of easy driving is particularly prominent.Secondly, when making U-turns and turnings, or even meeting cars in the opposite direction, it is more confident than some behemoths, and there will be no feeling of slow response when changing lanes, and the bodywork is very coordinated.
Passengerization of pickup trucks is also reflected in the design. Pickup trucks no longer have and should not only have a rough style, which can be youthful and sporty.Although it is not a high-end series with a price of hundreds of thousands, the design of the new D-MAX V-CROSS is also remarkable.
Jiangxi Isuzu's new D-MAX V-CROSS is more like a fitness enthusiast who keeps in shape.The overall has a strong sense of movement, which should cater to younger consumer groups.Especially in the orange body, a lot of blackening treatment is incorporated, and the color-contrasting design itself has a little more fashionable taste.
The headlights are no longer square and square, but have a sharp eagle-eye shape, the center grid is blackened, and the two wide grilles also have the shape of "small fangs" that are not easy to be noticed. One look at this car The car is not bound to a position where it can only do rough work. The details reflect its careful thinking, and the front of the car looks very powerful as a whole.
If the lines and blackened details of the new D-MAX V-CROSS front combine a sense of strength and shape, then the side of the car can still clearly reflect the essence of a pickup truck. The cargo compartment occupies the visual focus of the rear half, but the 5280mm The length of the car makes its proportions extremely harmonious and black.The black wheel arch once again reflects the wildness it deserves, coupled with the brand-new blackened Maxxis 18-inch AT tires, and the strong blackened side steps, this taste is very pure.The minimum ground clearance of the new D-MAX V-CROSS is 230mm, and the approach angle and departure angle are 28°/25° respectively.
Most of the cargo boxes of pickup trucks will be used for maximum modification and installation of various functional configurations, and common modification or caravan styles are not uncommon.As for the selectivity, don’t worry, the official will launch many kits in the future, and at the same time, the autonomy will be delegated to consumers to the greatest extent.
This set of interior combinations is more fashionable, and has little to do with roughness.First of all, in terms of color matching, the double-colored seats are matched with orange stitching, which adds a touch of vitality to the refreshing visual sense.The front seats all support electric adjustment, seat heating, and the main driver has added lumbar support, but if the seat ventilation can be increased, it will be more perfect.The door panels, the top of the center console, and the central armrest are also covered with soft materials, which have a higher affinity and appear more advanced.The surround sound effect in the car adopts the French Arkamys3D audio software technology, and the 64-color ambient light also supports the breathing effect.In short, there is no sense of outdatedness in the cockpit of this car.
LCD instruments and large-size LCD central control screens are also standard configurations of current mainstream pickups. Although the ultimate display effect and operation cannot be compared with passenger cars, the performance of the new D-MAX V-CROSS is already very good. , pickups pay more attention to stability and reliability.The retention of physical buttons is also a must.
From another perspective, it is enough to prove that the current pickup trucks are paying more and more attention to passenger performance, rather than the traditional positioning of only doing rough work.That is to carry a set of mature and perfect intelligent driving assistance system.The new D-MAX V-CROSS is equipped with Bosch's new generation L2 level ADAS intelligent driving assistance system. The whole car is equipped with 11 radars + 5 cameras, which cooperate with forward traffic jam assistance, full-speed intelligent cruise, emergency braking, and lateral warning. A variety of intelligent driving assistance functions such as lane change assistance and lane change assistance can greatly reduce driving fatigue. In the experience, I found that its ADAS system is very accurate in recognizing the shape of passing vehicles in the surrounding area. Large vehicles and motorcycles will be displayed with corresponding icons. in the dashboard.But the fly in the ointment is that if the HUD head-up display can be introduced, it will undoubtedly be more convenient.
In order to better cater to young consumer groups, it brings a smart experience comparable to passenger cars.The new D-MAX V-CROSS is also equipped with a new intelligent voice system in the cockpit that supports multi-round conversations without wake-up, including voiceprint recognition, full-duplex processing, and voice reproduction functions. In addition, there are remote control and smart Bluetooth keys. And other practical functions, the travel experience is also constantly improving.
Conclusion:This is the correct way to open a pickup truck. Jiangxi Isuzu's new D-MAX V-CROSS has verified its strength on the Bailitian Road in Bashang.The magnificent scenery and excellent experience venue are accompanied by an uninhibited and smooth trip.The enhanced upgrade of the engine and chassis proves that it has not "forgot its roots" and still abides by the ultimate meaning of a pickup truck.The unique design of the appearance and the rich intelligent auxiliary configuration make its differentiation more and more obvious. Combined with the price of 170,800 to 220,800 yuan, I believe Jiangxi Isuzu's new D-MAX V-CROSS will gain a lot of loyal customers in the future market. Users, wait and see.
