The Isuzu D-Max V-Cross faces its strongest competition from the Toyota Hilux. The Hilux entered the Indian market in 2022 and offers a larger 2.8 litre engine compared to the 1.9 litre unit in this car. For a long time, the Isuzu D-Max V-Cross was the only pickup truck for private buyers in India. Other rivals in the Rs 25 lakh to Rs 35 lakh price bracket include the Mahindra Scorpio-N and the Mahindra XUV700. Even though they are SUVs, they attract similar buyers who want a big vehicle. The Tata Safari is another competitor for those who need a large cabin. Since the 4x2 versions are now gone, this model competes directly with 4x4 off-road vehicles. Many people choose the car for its flatbed storage, which most other Indian cars do not have.
