7. Early Adoption of Torque-on-Demand 4WD

The VehiCROSS was among the first SUVs to feature a Torque-on-Demand 4WD system that sensed traction loss and automatically transferred power to the wheels with the most grip.
This intelligent technology, now standard in many modern crossovers and SUVs, provided remarkable confidence in all conditions—whether on slippery streets or rugged trails.
Carscoops points out that this forward-thinking approach put Isuzu well ahead of the curve in SUV drivetrain innovation.
