Press Release
November 11, 2011
Isuzu Philippines Corp. has launched the updated 2012 Crosswind, fresh from the vehicle’s latest feat of being named “Best AUV” in the 2011 Auto Focus People’s Choice Awards, in which it also won the “Best On-Board Entertainment” award in the AUV category. With the new upgrade, Isuzu is confident that Crosswind owners can now truly “Drive with Confidence,” which is the popular AUV’s marketing slogan this year.
For 2012, the Sportivo variant of the Crosswind has been equipped with a new entertainment system, more cargo space and a fresh identity. There’s now the availability of a navigation system as a dealer option. There’s also the very practical roof basket for more cargo-carrying flexibility. And a new “Sportivo+” badge now adorns the exterior.
Other class-leading features of the Crosswind are projector-type headlamps, which are 12% brighter than ordinary headlights, and side mirrors that have turn signals and are power-folding (Sportivo and XUV). The Sportivo also has a reverse sensor and camera for enhanced safety when backing up; an SUV-type rear bumper step with an oval-shaped tail-pipe finisher (also for the XUV); and bigger and more rugged 235/70 R15 all-terrain tires (also for the XUV).
The above improvements complement the Crosswind’s standard list of impressive specifications, including its tried-and-tested 2.5-liter 4JA1-L diesel engine; well-built chassis frame; side-impact beams; child-proof door locks; responsive alarm system; large interior cargo space; leather seats (Sportivo); and lots of cup holders.
“The Crosswind has always had a reputation for being the best value-for-money vehicle in its class,” says IPC President Ryoji Yamazaki. “With this latest addition of new features, the award-winning Crosswind becomes an even better proposition for those who are looking for a reliable and capable vehicle that will serve them well for many years to come.”
The 2012 Isuzu Crosswind is now available in Ebony Black, Rich Red, Midnight Blue, Glacial White, Titanium Silver, Cyanine Green and Moroccan Gold.
