Chronology
Successor Isuzu D-Max (for the pickup truck model only)

The Isuzu Panther is a line of multi-purpose vehicle, sport utility vehicle and pickup truck manufactured since 1991 by Isuzu and developed in Indonesia for the Southeast Asian market. It was[3] also manufactured and marketed in India under the name Chevrolet Tavera, a name which is also used in Indonesia for the gasoline version until 2007. It was developed together with General Motors as the "160 Project".[4]

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 as Hi-Lander, later the Crosswind. It was also known as the Hi-Lander in Vietnam.

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. It is powered by the 4JA-1 Diesel Engine with the option of an 81 hp normally aspirated version or an 85 hp low-pressure turbocharged version. The third generation is also equipped with Isuzu‘s Flex Ride Suspension System. It's due to be phased out in 2017 due to Manila's enforcement of rules for Euro IV emissions by 2018.[5]
