The Isuzu Amigo, produced from 1998 to 2003, was a compact sport utility vehicle (SUV) that represented a shift in Isuzu's strategy towards more consumer-oriented vehicles. The Amigo was a rebadged version of the Chevrolet Tracker, sharing its platform and many mechanical components. This strategy allowed Isuzu to enter the burgeoning compact SUV market without the significant investment required to develop a completely new platform.
Despite sharing its underpinnings with the Tracker, the Amigo emphasized a more rugged and capable image. It came standard with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a five-speed manual transmission, while a four-speed automatic was optional. The Amigo offered two trim levels: the base model and the more luxurious LS. Both trims featured a spacious interior, good ground clearance, and a versatile cargo area. While the Amigo wasn't known for its power, it was praised for its fuel efficiency, off-road capability, and surprisingly comfortable ride. However, the Amigo's small size and limited engine options ultimately hampered its success, and its production was discontinued in 2003. Despite its short lifespan, the Isuzu Amigo remains a testament to Isuzu's ability to adapt and compete in a rapidly evolving automotive market.
