The Isuzu Wizard, a compact SUV produced from 1998 to 2000, marked a departure from Isuzu's traditional truck-based SUVs, offering a more car-like driving experience. It was based on the GM platform that underpinned the Chevrolet Tracker/Geo Tracker and Suzuki Sidekick, though Isuzu added its own unique styling and mechanical features. The Wizard offered two engine options, a 1.6-liter four-cylinder for fuel economy or a 2.0-liter four-cylinder for added power. Both were paired with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission, delivering a lively and engaging driving experience. While the Wizard wasn't as rugged as some of Isuzu's other SUVs, it provided good cargo space, a comfortable interior, and a decent level of handling for everyday driving. The Wizard's distinctive styling, with its rounded bodywork and swept-back headlights, contributed to its success in the increasingly popular compact SUV segment. However, the Wizard struggled to gain a foothold against its more established rivals, and sales remained relatively low. Isuzu discontinued the Wizard in 2000, leaving a void in their lineup that wouldn't be filled until the launch of the Axiom in 2001. Despite its short lifespan, the Isuzu Wizard stands as a testament to the brand's diverse offerings in the late 1990s, showcasing their foray into the popular compact SUV segment with a unique, car-like driving experience. For those seeking a reliable and affordable used SUV with a touch of Isuzu's engineering prowess, the Wizard may offer a compelling choice.
