Road Tests & Reviews: Isuzu Truck (vans) NKR Euro 4


If payload and unrivalled customer support are what you crave in your 3.5-tonner, then look no further. Isuzu's NKR offers one of the best payloads in the sector and the company has built a formidable reputation for ensuring the customer is king, queen and jack if that's what you want.

If you're looking for room in-cab and class-leading driveability however, then we'd be inclined to point you in the direction of other forward control 3.5-tonners. In our experience the Isuzu falls behind the pack on both counts.
The 3.0-litre common rail engine has taken moch of the noise from the cab evident in the previous model and at Euro-4 this engine gets a torque boost, while the NEES-2 auto box will be a welcome addition for drivers on city work.

If Isuzu addressed the quality and design of the cab, particularly on the outside, then we'd have no hesitation recommending the NKR as a first pick.

Pros:

  • Isuzu's unrivalled customer support
  • Factory-offered body options

Cons:

  • Cab interior upgrade overdue
