You can now catch the new 2012 Isuzu Crosswind at your Isuzu dealership in Davao.
Southern Motors Corporation has announced the arrival of the new Crosswind variant in their showroom along McArthur Highway.
“Yes, the Crosswind is now in our showroom and people can check it out why it’s been awarded best in its class,” said Southern Motors VP Kim Liu.
Isuzu Philippines Corp. recently 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 2012 Isuzu Crosswind is now available in Ebony Black, Rich Red, Midnight Blue, Glacial White, Titanium Silver, Cyanine Green and Moroccan Gold.
