The 2002 Isuzu Rodeo Sport, a compact SUV, marked the end of an era for Isuzu in the American market. This generation, introduced in 1998, was the last to feature the iconic Rodeo nameplate in the U.S. While known for its ruggedness and off-road capability, the Rodeo Sport aimed for a more refined and comfortable driving experience. Based on the same platform as the Chevrolet S-10 and GMC Sonoma, the Rodeo Sport shared its powertrain options, including a 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine and a 4.3-liter V6 engine. The smaller engine offered decent fuel economy, while the V6 provided more power for towing or hauling. While the Rodeo Sport was known for its affordability and reliability, it faced stiff competition from other popular compact SUVs of the time. The 2002 Isuzu Rodeo Sport came in various configurations, offering both two and four-door options, along with different trim levels like the base S model, the mid-range LS, and the top-of-the-line SL. The Rodeo Sport was known for its practical interior, featuring comfortable seating with ample cargo space. It boasted a decent ride quality and handling, though some critics noted its somewhat dated design and limited interior features compared to newer competitors. While the Rodeo Sport's off-road capability was not as pronounced as its earlier predecessors, it still offered decent ground clearance and available four-wheel drive for navigating rough terrain. However, the lack of a robust marketing campaign and the overall shift in consumer preferences towards more car-like SUVs ultimately led to the Rodeo's demise in the U.S. market. The 2002 model year marked the end of the Rodeo nameplate in America, leaving a legacy of robust, dependable SUVs that were popular among off-road enthusiasts and budget-conscious consumers alike.
