Back passengers also get new black, headrest-mounted, high-definition LCD monitors. The system has a navigation-ready device as dealer-option.

    The latest Alterra’s interior embraces a classy black leather trim that is matched with black woodgrain accents, giving the vehicle a cosmopolitan touch. Likewise, the 2013 Alterra Urban Cruiser X’s exterior comprises an elegantly rugged front chin spoiler, a European-inspired rear chin spoiler with reflector, smoked headlamps, and redesigned foglamp garnishes among others. These new features update the Alterra’s premium styling, while the vehicle’s two-eye reverse sensors and wide-range reverse camera aid the driver in backing up parking spaces and other tight spots.

    Powering the Alterra’s strength is Isuzu’s 4JJ1-TC-iTEQ 3.0-liter diesel engine that complies to Euro-3 emission standards. Equipped with a turbocharger and intercooler, plus a common rail direct injection system, the engine produces 146ps and 294Nm of torque.
