The Isuzu Panther is a multi-purpose vehicle manufactured in Indonesia for the Asian market by Isuzu Motors. 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 (known as the Hi-Lander Crosswind, which bested the diesel version of the Toyota Revo) and Vietnam.

The Panther is also manufactured and marketed in India under the name Chevrolet Tavera.

In the Philippines, the Crosswind is now in its third generation and still gaining popularity. It has a new style which makes it simple yet also sporty to look at. It is still powered by the 4JA-1 Diesel Engine, but was even better with the option of a 81hp, Normally Aspirated version or the 85hp, Turbocharged version. This third generation model is also equipped with Isuzu‘s Flex Ride Suspension System which promotes a comfortable ride while maintaining composure, durability, and high ground clearance.
