Isuzu Amigo
In the middle of all the full-sized vehicle available in the market,
Isuzu chose to introduce a compact sport-utility vehicle in spring of
1989. The new Isuzu targeted to keep a sportier SUV rather than utility
thus creating the 2-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive trim levels. Both
were offered in two different engines: the 2-wheel was offered with a
96-horsepower 2.3-liter engine while the 4-wheeler was offered a
120-horsepower, 2.6-liter 4-cylinder engine.
The concept of introducing compact SUV targeted the younger generation
who preferred a sporty vehicle yet going away with an SUV at an
affordable price. Nothing is unique for the Amigo except for its size
and the freedom to choice between two or four seats with an open or
enclosed cargo area.
In 1994, the Amigo was discontinued but revived in 1998 with a fresh
new look. The new Amigo was now available in either rear-drive or
4-wheel drive versions. It was said to share its basic design with the
larger Rodeo 4-door sport utility wagon,, another SUV made by Isuzu.
The difference was only the size which ultimately boils down to the
conclusion that the Amigo was the smaller version of the Rodeo. The
Amigo was offered with semi-convertible body and a pop-up sunroof and
powered by two engines: 2.2-liter dual-overhead-cam 4-cylinder that can
produce 130 horsepower, and the 205 hp for the twin-cam 3.2-liter V6
engine. In 2003 the Isuzu Amigo was discontinued.
