Isuzu Wizard

The Isuzu Wizard was a five-door sport utility vehicle that Isuzu built and sold in Japan. It first appeared in 1995 as the Mu Wizard, the five-door version of the Mu, and became a separate model in 1998 when it was redesigned. With a style that kept something of a pickup truck, it differed from the larger Bighorn and was the last independently developed passenger model Isuzu sold in Japan. The same family was sold as the Rodeo in North America, the Cameo and Vega in Thailand, the Frontera in Europe and Australia, and the Honda Passport. The Japanese car was assembled at the Fujisawa plant with a 4JG1 diesel engine in its first generation. Japanese sales ended in 2002 when Isuzu left the SUV business, and overseas production ended in 2004.
