Isuzu AUV

The Isuzu AUV was the Russian-market version of the Japanese Isuzu Panther, a body-on-frame multi-purpose vehicle. Unlike its sister model it was offered in several lengths and with a wider choice of body versions: a standard five-door for five people, stretched cabin and stretched cargo versions, a stretched full-body version for eight or nine people, and a passenger-carrying version with four or six doors seating eight, with a long variant for up to seventeen. The interior came in a basic trim with black or beige plastic and a DeLuxe trim with wood-look plastic and many electrical comforts, but never with leather seats. The only engine was a 2.5 litre diesel producing 167 PS. It was aimed at the CIS states, Syria and Iran, and production ended in the summer of 2009. Its sister models included the Chevrolet Tavera, the Isuzu Crosswind and the Isuzu HiLander.
