The Isuzu Panther is a multi-purpose vehicle and pickup truck manufactured in Indonesia for the Asian market by Isuzu Motors. The model is suited to carrying large loads of passengers or cargo. It was developed to meet local conditions in terms of climate, roads and family structure as a durable vehicle. The Panther is also popular in the Philippines, where it is known as the Hi-Lander Crosswind and Vietnam.
The Panther is also manufactured and marketed in India under the name Chevrolet Tavera.
In the Philippines, the Crosswind replaced the Hi-Lander in 2001, and was given a major redesign in early 2005 from the "Hi-Lander Crosswind" to just "Crosswind" as well as "Sportivo". Minor facelifts were given in 2007 and 2009 to the same format. It is now in its second generation and still gaining popularity. It has a new style which makes it simple yet also sporty to look at. It is still powered by the 4JA-1 Diesel Engine, but was even better with the option of a 81 hp normally aspirated version or an 85 hp low-pressure turbocharged version. This third generation model is also equipped with Isuzu‘s Flex Ride Suspension System which promotes a comfortable ride while maintaining composure, durability, and high ground clearance.
First Generation.[]
Introduced in 1991 to rival the Toyota Kijang. The first generation Isuzu Panther was available in a pickup variant or a Coachbuilder designed wagon in short and long wheelbases. Initially, it came equipped with a naturally aspirated 2.3L C223 indirect injection 4-cylinder diesel engine with OHV. In 1992, a full pressed body "Isuzu Total Assy" station wagon was introduced and was available in Standard, Deluxe, Grand-Deluxe, Royal Hi-GLX and Hi-Grade trims. In 1996, the Panther received a facelift with brand new headlamps and a redesigned grille, it also received the brand new naturally aspirated "4JA1" direct injection 4-cylinder diesel engine. The first generation would end production in 2000, but the pickup version remained in production until 2021 and was rebranded as the Isuzu Pickup in 2005. It would receive a turbocharger to meet Euro 2 emissions.
