ACPP coupled with quite comfortably, and, if necessary, and V pastors gathered during highly dynamic. Step up to 100 km / h in 9 seconds. Notably, the automatic switched inherited from the old Trooper unchanged. Drive in Axiom is all-wheel drive system with the help of "intellectual coupling.

Isuzu D-Max

The new generation of pickups Isuzu brand, gathered in Thailand since 2002, was named Isuzu D-Max. At the Australian market delivered as Holden Rodeo, and the British-as Isuzu Rodeo.

The Isuzu D-Max really good appearance. Contemporary forms of the cab, "fashionable" two lamps, wide wheel expressive hood and radiator grille give false image of its elegant aggressiveness. The words, silhouette Japanese truck became very modern and attractive.

The car is well kept straight, primarily through independent front suspension. Rear suspension performed on traditional pickup pattern: Hard bridge springs - solid and reliable.

Saloon recovered quite well. Instead of separate front seats in the Isuzu whole sofa set, according to the number of seat belts, triple. Back front sofa of the Isuzu D-Max tipped forward-regulate the angle of inclination is not possible. However, a single set of back very best.

The front panel is simple and John. There was only then, without which do not already do. Types of ventilation chimney, the easiest climate control unit and the minimum "luxury" in the form of air-conditioning button. Done it all light grey with black plastic inserts.

In normal Isuzu D-Max a drive to the rear wheels only. In heavy traffic, such as snow or wash-push of a button, you can connect the front axle. It is connected rigidly track differential is not. Stop for a transition to a "4 x4" not necessary. Just make a car Pick evenly and moving straight at speeds up to 100 km / h. The connection of the front wheels takes about five seconds - that it is complete signal light on the dashboard. For serious assault on the road to better advance and include downward transfer. On course to do so.

On cross, on the road with large holes, pits and mounds Isuzu discovers calm, very confident, without undue delay. Greater ground clearance allows the Isuzu D-Max on roads feels King.

In Thailand and the proposed new version of D-M Communications ax turbodiesel Rodeo with a new generation of R4 3.0 litre 16V (146 litres). In export, 8-valve version of the engine develops 131 hp

Isuzu D-Max

In addition, there are more affordable price version turbodiesel R4 2.5 litre 16V (79 litres.), and rear wheel drive. In order comes removable hardtop for the body. Versions with petrol engines from 2005 are removed from production.

Isuzu Trooper

The world's largest manufacturer of heavy trucks Japanese company Isuzu its first compressor called Isuzu Trooper (translated "cavalrymen"), built in 1981. Compact and comfortable four-wheel drive vehicle Pick a direct competitor appears earlier Mitsubishi Pajero.

Even foreign angularity they were like. In the range Isuzu Trooper initially consisted of three-and 3-door off with a soft-top convertible. Three-version, in turn, was performed as a short (2,300 mm) and long (2650 mm) base, which will soon establish a full-fledged version of the elongated 5-door compressor, which is the most popular model in the series.

The Isuzu Trooper is typical of the all-Japanese compact pickups and off: British Deputy strong, independent front suspension with adjustable torque stiffness, depending rear suspension, rocket propulsion. The rear door attached to the spare wheel double. Originally intended only for Trooper 2.0-litre 88-strong petrol engine and the 2.2-litre 61-strong diesel. For foreign markets offered stronger power units: 2.3-litre 92-strong ignition engine and turbo diesel capacity 72 litres.

Already in 1986, looks the Isuzu Trooper upgraded: round headlamps replaced in the rectangular, radiator grille also is different. Powerful engines: 2.6-litre injection develops 114 hp, 2.8-litre turbo diesel- 100 litres.

Inside all versions saved Lycurgus style, which is so characteristic of a car to reach riding on the road. There is not even a seat back angle adjustment, but well developed lateral support. The box shape dashboards were in the spirit of Japanese design 1980. Vision is good, thanks to big side mirrors.

Overall, the Isuzu Trooper first generation has been a very reliable and car logically.

In 1991 debut of the Isuzu Trooper second generation. Its design is essentially maintained continuity with the first model, only a more modern design and comfort the body. Sleeves front axles, like him, now includes a button from the saloon, and even at speeds (up to 100 km / h). Performance quality even better. Dimensions seriously changed: 4660x1745x1840 mm (for 5-door version), 3-door to 430 mm shorter.

The model, of course, equipped more powerful engines: 3.2-litre 24-klalannym injection V6 with a capacity of 193 litres (177 litres with a catalytic converter) and the 3.1-litre 125-horsepower turbo diesel. In five-step mechanical MP, a 4-broadbanded "automatic". A diesel different cost 13.1 l/100 km in the city, gasoline in turn spends up to 16 l/100 km.

Isuzu Trooper

The Isuzu Trooper subsequently distributed to various markets under local brands. So in April 1992 in the light out Opel Monterey (alias Vauxhail), which has only a fabrication and equipment cabin. In Japan on an agreement with the company selling Honda model by the name of Horison, a fact that the car pastors never changed. However, for the North American market Acura SLX staffed on higher level.

In 1998, the upgraded model seriously and apparently most markedly 3-door new version. The body is mounted to the frame through numerous rubber cushion configurations and extra charge of the massive job filling reminiscent of the cargo ended. Complementing the picture bottom powerful towing hooks and lugs enshrined hot bolts.

In general, appearance and pastors car is an example of a balanced design. It will be all-important, and the inscription "Trooper" on the front doors, hood and full-chute at the rear of a large part (its double, 70/30).

Isuzu Trooper

After upgrading Isuzu Trooper received a new 3.5 litre V6 engine with a custom intake manifold - replace 3.2-litre. Boxes offered transfers, mechanical, and automatic.

Landing in the Isuzu Trooper much easier mountain ascents along the body of ribbed steel sheet. Beauty is of a high ceiling and a large area of glazing. Here comfort accommodates five. As an option, may have two seats in the cargo hold. All fingertips and the adjustment of seats, and air-conditioned office, and of course, transmission.

Front Bridge switch - off at speed (100 km / h) button, a number of "automatic" standard, down-transfer "activated" leverage with the inscription "H-4L."

The panel instrumentation is simple and functional. Indexes of gasoline, coolant temperature, oil pressure, as well as RF and tachometer-traditional switch, the switch to electronic speedometer Odometer. All instruments are visible and legible, with excellent illumination in the dark. There is a marker on the screen dubbing indication AKPP selector.

Steering is surprisingly sharp and accurate, and V-Pick excellent heard no matter wet asphalt under the wheels or dry. Strengths of the Isuzu Trooper, full-evident, have a, comfortable, strong, well-assembled and splendidly equipped with a car Pick off with good opportunities.

The next update of a car pastors happened in 2001. Ostensibly, a car logically changed little. At integrated into the hood false radiator added chrome grille. In the roof, a new automated sliding increased size. A door in the trunk, it allows isolated from the eyes of the contents.

Since the instrument panel in favour of the current trend disappeared, filter and oil pressure indicator. They assumed LED modes of transmission TOD - Torque on Demand.

Otherwise, everything still. Strong body conservative box with a plastic extender wheel arches, rear door of the two unequal parts from the chute to cover more of a headlamp and fog-light with conventional glass lenses impressive thickness. Headlamps equipped with washers and cleaners. Side mirrors in chrome-plated shells emerging, electric.

Isuzu VehiCross

The concept Isuzu VehiCross first appearance before the public at the Tokyo Motor Show in autumn 1993. Unintended Isuzu vanguard faces a car pastors can be explained by the fact that it has created English designer Simon Cox.

Credit same Japanese company that it had listened to the enthusiastic feedback from visitors and not clamping revolutionary appearance of the Isuzu VehiCross, decided to run it in production virtually unchanged. The first mass-produced car and smuggle available for sale in Japan in spring 1997.

The Isuzu VehiCross symbiotic full off-road chassis, of the International Classification of T1, and its enchanting forms of the body. Exterior so it is unusual that it is difficult to believe that the serial version and not a model of a car style future. The dynamic contours of the body front roof pillars and narrow side windows are likely to sport coupe. At bonnet complex form a black box, it does not reflect that could cause glare driver. Powerful plastic panels (painted in weight polypropylene), spanning the entire bottom of a car pastors and forming its "nose" and "feed".

Panels are bottom of the body, the same metal (galvanized steel) ends in five centimeters below the top of the plastic. Good decision: in the case of small injuries on the roads or parking, plastic items easily replaced without correcting the body. Panels made of a special plastic, they are not afraid of scratches and cracks; replace metal in precisely those places that suffer from damage and corrosion. More stylish bar-undisguised head bolts, which are attached to the plastic parts of the body. Front and rear bumpers are hidden under plastic metal tubes, in a collision of a strike.

Finally, the pinnacle of originality, spare wheel covers at the back door. First, it is catchy stylistic element, which logically and car is remembered as the back as the front. Secondly, the reserve is always clean. Thirdly, it can be removed only by opening the door, thus addressing the issue of chute. Well, the reserve is not full.

The Isuzu VehiCross built on the chassis of "short" version Trooper, and thus is typical for off-frame structure. The powerful British frame is a box with a motor, transmission, front suspension torsion to cross advantage and tight rear beam at two unusually long longitudinal lower trailers and a short top.

The front stabilizer lateral stability has a diameter of 25 mm. Spring rear suspension with progressive features, sports equipped with shock absorbers made of shells, well dispersing heat. The company said that a series of car smuggle previously been applied.

Isuzu VehiCross

Under the hood longitudinally installed V-shaped "Six" of this 3.5-liter engine and has a car smuggle intended for the American market. Strength power plant develops 215 hp (about 5400. / min.), and 310 Nm of torque (over 3000. / min.). In a further intake manifold valve, which opens to facilitate breathing engine, as soon as the turnover exceed mark for 3600? The engine and four-automatic gearbox developed originally for the Isuzu Trooper, which at 200 kg heavier.

The Isuzu VehiCross "default" and car Pick almost rear-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive, and provides a complete on-demand. The company can translate Torque-on-Demand (TOD) is a system that set off as Isuzu.

Isuzu VehiCross

The challenge TOD-shift driving the engine between front and rear wheels. Special computer every 20 milliseconds is reading from multiple sensors that monitor the speed of rotation of the front and rear differentials, the situation ignition gas activity for the brakes and ABS.

Isuzu VehiCross

Active TOD conjunction with a motor and off with the ignition. The driver is not involved in the process and could only watch his work - which left at the dashboards is a special symbol. Rectangles front wheels divided it into three equal parts. While they all dark, front-wheel maximum of 15% of the efforts of the engine. One-third green - the Isuzu VehiCross Full power was 30%, two-thirds of 30-50%. Icon front wheels fully spattered green means four-wheel drive vehicle 50:50 regime and giving a "green light" to storm seriously lack of roads.

Isuzu VehiCross

The system monitors TOD dedicated computer, which is busy processing this information alone and not linked to other control unit functions. In his "brains" burned a great deal of information on any road conditions that can potentially meet in the driver and the same 20 milliseconds he finds optimal rotation of the wheel.

Isuzu VehiCross

Saloon of the Isuzu VehiCross not disappointed. The seats, upholstery and door convenient rudder decorated red and black leather, very well, although not new. Z front seats are comfortable enough, they are tough and reliable record seated. Seats are manually - long and the angular torso, but that was sufficient. Correctly locate hands on the handlebars helps steering wheel adjustment. The only thing that did not quite fit in with the image concept punishment is a standard instrument panel from the Isuzu Rodeo. While managing a car pastors accustomed to, rather than erratic algorithm this is more convenient.

In a car jet is ingeniously configured rear space. Places where more than some jeeps. In addition, an adjustable tilt the seat backs. This is a good idea. Nevertheless, admiring the surrounding area through two small windows at the back of sofa problematic, in normal distributors landed in front of the rear passenger is a massive rear rack.

Isuzu VehiCross

It is also true that good visibility VehiCross could not boast. The rear windshield get very small, and the driver will have to rely on mirrors. As an alternative, consider a Japanese company, it provides the cameras rear, which cast an image on the screen at the front console. Unfortunately, for the United States and Europe is not a luxury, but problems can be solved by installing parking sensors, which are slightly easier position.

Isuzu VehiCross

The Isuzu VehiCross is a serious compressor. As in terms of passengers, and in terms of being able to move terrain with high speed without fear of shock absorbers. Last confirms construction of single-gas shock absorbers with additional external cameras, such normally apply only to major sporting car nines. The same applies to the brakes. Ventilated discs at all four wheels is not frequently in a car befell this class, and the excellent job they are here to do.
