5. Unique Cladding for Durability
One of the VehiCROSS’s most recognizable features was its signature polymer body cladding.
This tough, black cladding protected the SUV from scratches, dings, and debris, making it ideal for both urban environments and off-road adventures.
Decades before ruggedized aesthetics became a trend—think Pontiac Aztek or Subaru Outback—Isuzu was already setting the standard.
Road & Track notes that this innovative design element not only boosted durability but also contributed to the VehiCROSS’s unforgettable, adventurous personality.
