The Isuzu Rodeo, Mu, Wizard, and Amigo were the second-generation versions of these popular compact SUVs produced by Isuzu Motors from 1998 to 2004. This generation, codenamed "UBS," brought significant updates and refinements over its predecessor, boasting a more modern and refined exterior design, a more spacious and comfortable interior, and a wider range of engine options. The Rodeo, primarily marketed in North America, featured a rugged and capable demeanor, while the Mu was sold in Europe as a more refined and stylish option. The Wizard and Amigo were compact SUVs available in Japan, known for their versatility and fuel efficiency. These models shared a common platform and underpinnings, with the Amigo focusing on affordability and practicality. The Rodeo, Mu, and Wizard were offered with a range of gasoline and diesel engines, including a 3.2-liter V6 and a 2.8-liter turbocharged diesel, paired with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission.

The second-generation Isuzu SUVs boasted a range of features that contributed to their popularity. The Rodeo, Mu, Wizard, and Amigo were well-regarded for their reliable and robust construction, off-road capabilities thanks to their high ground clearance and four-wheel drive options, and their spacious interiors offering ample room for passengers and cargo. The addition of standard safety features such as airbags and anti-lock brakes further enhanced their appeal. However, despite their success, the Isuzu SUVs faced increasing competition from other manufacturers in the growing SUV market. Furthermore, the reputation of Isuzu as a brand began to wane in the early 2000s, leading to a decline in sales. The production of the second-generation Rodeo, Mu, Wizard, and Amigo ultimately ended in 2004, marking a significant chapter in the history of Isuzu's SUV offerings. Despite their limited production lifespan, these models are still fondly remembered by many for their reliability, versatility, and off-road capabilities.
