Isuzu Australia Limited’s director and chief operating officer Andrew Harbison says the countdown is over, and now customers can get behind the wheel.

“Putting together a full model changeover of this magnitude is unprecedented in our industry,” he says.

“There’s somewhere in the vicinity of 120 model variants across the new range and together with our dealer partners, we’re super excited to get this excellent new product in the hands of our customers.

“Rolling-out such a vast model line-up has required a staged approach and we’re proud to announce the phase one release of some iconic Isuzu models, from light-duty N Series right through to our heavy hitters in the FX range.

“We’ll continue to move through the production phases as 2025 progresses, with a full complement of models on grass across the country over the coming months.”

Slotting in at the heavier end is the N Series range, the popular NQR variants will be the frontline model of this line-up.

With a Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) range of 8,000 kg to 8,800 kg and producing an eager 140kW or 190 metric horsepower via Isuzu’s innovative 4HK1-TCH engine, the 2025 NQR retains Isuzu’s proven MZZ6F six-speed automated manual transmission while a six-speed manual transmission option is also available.

Complying with Australian Design Rule (ADR) 80-04, all N Series engines now have emissions compliance achieved via a combined DPD and SCR system, along with proven Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx).

Safety has improved with a second-generation stereo camera system with the NQR boasting seven new active safety features added in 2025. All up the safety suite totals 15 safety functions, making it amongst the safest vehicles Isuzu Trucks has ever developed for the Australian market.

A range of six-cylinder medium-duty F Series models are also now on sale across Australia, including select FVR/D, FVL and FVZ/Y models variants.

There are two six-cylinder engine types spanning these models in the F Series range, from Isuzu’s new DB6A engine family.

Applying to the FVR/D, Isuzu introduces the 191 kilowatt or 260 metric horsepower DB6A-TCH powerplant with peak torque of 883Nm from 1,000 to 2,070 rpm.

Isuzu’s DB6A-TCC engine serves multiple models including the FVR/D, FVL and FVZ/Y. Producing 221 kilowatts or 300 metric horsepower with 981 Nm of torque from 1,000 to 2,100 rpm.

Now in its 6th generation of electronic controls, the fully automatic Allison 3000, 3500 and 4430 Series transmissions can be found across the F Series 6-cylinder range including the on sale FVR/D, FVL, FVZ/Y and into the FX Series.

F Series safety hasn’t been neglected either, with ADAS camera technology, combined with a long range milli-wave radar, a Distance Warning System and Advanced Emergency Braking just to name a few.

The entire FV range of models also feature a Lane Keep Assist function with Dynamic Steering, a rarity for this market segment.

To complete Isuzu’s phase one release, is the heavy-duty FX Series models.

With a fresh cabin design and ergonomics, improved powertrain technology and a standout safety package, the FX line-up is a catch.

The FX Series offers eight model options with GVM up to 26,000 kg, and all equipped with Isuzu’s robust six-cylinder 6UZ1-TCC engine, delivering 259 kW of power.

This high-performance engine produces a peak torque of 1,437 Nm at 1,400 rpm and now meets the stringent Euro VI emissions standard under ADR 80/04.

Keyless entry via a door handle button grants access to an ergonomic cab with intuitive storage and a fold-down centre seat.

Drivers will enjoy the standard ISRI 6860/875 NTS2 climate seat – heated and ventilated – with broad adjustability.
