Isuzu set to launch new 4x4 Trooper

Isuzu Philippines Corp. will bring back the Isuzu Trooper. Come May of this year, all Isuzu dealerships will witness the re-entry of the 4x4 Trooper, returning with legendary superior features that earned worldwide recognition.

With the uproar from recurrent oil price increases, those in search of the ultimate vehicle can now enjoy unmatched riding experience with the Trooper's merging of both gasoline and diesel engine caliber. The gasoline engine is esteemed for its speed, low noise, and cleaner emission. Others, opt for the rewards of a diesel engine with its surpassing torque, fuel efficiency, and offroad performance. The Isuzu Trooper blends all these power points to become a premium mode of transport.

4. Low noise and vibration -- 3-5 decibels more quiet than other diesel engines, 50-70 percent less vibrations than other diesel engines, bestowed with advanced vibration control technology.

Figures are based on actual tests conducted by Isuzu Motors Ltd. In Japan.
