20 Reasons the Isuzu VehiCROSS Was Way Ahead of Its Time

1. Radical Exterior Styling

The Isuzu VehiCROSS stunned audiences with its radical exterior styling. Unlike the boxy SUVs of its era, the VehiCROSS featured dramatic body cladding, a muscular stance, and sweeping, aggressive lines that looked straight out of a concept car.
Its distinctive, almost alien appearance was a bold move for the late 1990s, catching eyes everywhere it went. This futuristic look, as noted by MotorTrend, made the VehiCROSS instantly recognizable—and cemented its reputation as a true design pioneer.
