Latest Updates on Hi-Lander
Isuzu launches the BS6?compliant Hi?Lander pickup in India as the entry?level D?Max variant, priced at Rs. 16.98 lakh (ex?showroom), powered by a 1.9 L BS6 diesel engine with 163 PS/360 Nm and a 6?speed manual, offering a basic but rugged utility?focused cab?and?load design.
The 2021 Isuzu Hi?Lander pickup is showcased in pictures as a premium 4×2 variant of the D?Max family with a BS6 1.9?litre diesel and basic cabin, but it misses out on a 4×4 drivetrain that enthusiasts feel would have significantly boosted its appeal and off?road capability.
