We are still awaiting the complete technical specifications of these utility vehicles. Isuzu hasn't launched a website or a Facebook page listing these vital statistics. Indonesia and Thailand have them on sale, but the powertrain tuning states are varied.
We will update you on the exact technical specifications later this week, so make sure to keep a tab on IndianAutosBlog.com.
