(UPDATED GALLERY) Soldiering on the platform that has proven its dominance in the Asian utility vehicle segment for years, Isuzu Philippines recently unveiled variants of the 2010 Crosswind.

The new Crosswind is visually distinct from its older versions, thanks to the liberal use of chrome in its exterior finish. There's the new chrome grille design sandwiched between a pair of halogen projector-type headlamps with crystal lens--the first and only one in its class. There's also the redesigned front bumper with a silver under-spoiler garnish, as well as new chrome rings around its foglamps. And then there's the chromed pair of power-folding side mirrors enhanced by amber turn-signal lenses. The Crosswind's refreshed look comes complete with a new spare tire cover that sports an embossed design, as well as a pair of multi-reflector rear combination lamp encased in chrome garnish cover.

Inside, the top-of-the-line Crosswind Sportivo one-ups its competitors by packing an ultra-wide touch-screen LCD audio unit. This works with the front seat headrest-mounted 7-inch high-resolution LCD monitors for second-row passengers. Other new interior add-ons are spread out across other Crosswind variants include the console box with integrated dual cupholders, and a second-row convenience tray.

The 2010 Crosswind comes in Fusion Orange (for the XUV variant), Granite Gray (XUV and XT variants), Moroccan Gold (Sportivo), Tundra Green (Sportivo), and Venetian Blue (XTi). Old favorites Ebony Black, Glacial White and Sterling Silver are also still available.

(25 November 2009)

• toninph says I have a Crosswind XUV AT 2010 model. I have not had a car for years. The last one was a Subaru Impreza XTI. Can you imagine the difference? My list of requirements: rugged, reliable, automatic, roomy. The Crosswind fits the bill, in particular it's engine and chassis. It wil probably survive me. Having had luxury and fast, comfortable cars before and having done circuit racing and rally, I stick to the theory that a car should communicate with you without translation. So, no fancy commercial gadgets like ABS, stability control and whatever (e.g. in rally driving you can't use ABS). You are responsible for what you do with the car, not some electronic gadget. And you must know what are the safe limits of your car and stay well inside those limits. When do you need ABS, for instance? When you're in trouble, like going too fast on a slippery road and trying to avoid collision with one of those Jeepney's. Well, don't drive that fast. If you learn to know your Crosswind it will let you know when it gets hairy and when you drive on it's limit. And understand the traffic, the behaviour of Jeepney, taxi's, motorbikes, pedestrians to name a few. Damn the bad lighting of roads and cars, if there are lights at all, but uderstand, accept and adapt. Each and every car should have the fancy gadgets stripped and a razor sharp knife pointing to your face from the steering column. No safety belts or airbags. That will teach you to be careful.

• Joseph says enhance its power and torque, and lower its price, now that's a good competition. But i would rather have an Innova, if i live in the city or a secondhand REVO, if i live in a province. (28 December 2009)

• oilandgas says isuzu should pay attention to safety features where crosswind lacks, looks is deceiving, what matters most this time is safety unless one will use this AUV mostly in the countryside, crosswind is not a SUV as many believes. (29 January 2010)
• juan says for ponce, kung gagawin mong d max ang dashboard , eh di na sportivo un, dmax na un,,... ulol (30 January 2010)

• arville says As u all know, Isuzu's forte is truck- big diesel engine- black smoke, and doesnt care about the design of the vehicle. So, for short- dont expect too much for their vehicles to be flashy-eye catching looking blah blah blah yada2x.. Nag kataon lang ata ung Trooper nla na may sunroof before.. Or lets just say nka chamba cla sa design. Just a wild guess hehe. (22 February 2010)

• kaloykoy says Hindi naman ganun kapangit ang 2.5 diesel engine niyan, depende lang yan sa pag drive mo. Pag galing ka sa isang paakyat o kaya pagkalagpas sa isang humps wag mo na pilitin sa higher gear shift down mo na sa lower gear kasi uusok yan pag pinilit mo sa 3rd o 2nd lalo na pag galing sa complete stop. Ang pangit lang pareho lang ng makina yung sportivo at yung pinaka mura na variant ng crosswind, dinagadagan lang ng burloloy yung sportivo. (15 March 2010)
• Kirsten says I still remember back in November 2000 when they started selling these things. It has been ten years, ISUZU engineers are too lazy to get off and design a newer, better and safer car. (21 March 2010)

• kabayo says Kung sanay ka may naririnig na generator araw araw gabi gabi dahil palaging brownout sa inyo e bumili ka ng isuzu, may generator ka na may sasakyan ka pa!!! Pwede rin kung sanay ka mag commute ng dyip e mag sportibo ka na kasi para ka rin nakasakay sa dyip, durog ang buto mo sa pwet puro pa kalyo pisngi ng tumbong mo sa tigas ng suspension!!! (08 April 2010)
• Bob says This is the reason why up to now Isuzu is always logging behind with other japanese brands and now korean brands is because they refuse to embrace change. I mean, look guys, its already a crdi generation and isuzu still goes on with their old fashion smokey diesel engine. Year after year, they havent got introduce a new body design not like the stylish tucson of hyundai. They are contended with minor make up and face lifts. (09 April 2010)

• Jorge Gutierrez says Nice Improvement of the exterior facia and new gadgetry on the inside, but just wondering when will ISUZU unveil their latest ISUZU Trooper?.. The Alterra in my own opinion is still the best in all of Isuzu's vehicle products.. (25 April 2010)

(07 May 2010)

• Lewis says For me, Isuzu still use the same 4ja1 for purpose. Low horsepower and moderate torque for fuel efficient and more environment friendly. And yet the torque is enough to run on 4X4. But hope 4JK1 is use in future. The 2.5l crdi replace 4JA1. (02 June 2010)
• 2005 sportivo says sportivo is a masculine choice.... (03 June 2010)
• Rush says Its still the old Isuzu 4JA1 engine of isuzu, alias the Fumigator. Medyo matagal na na platform yan ginagamit nila. I think it is as old as the platform of the Mitsu Adventure. (18 June 2010)
