Overview & Reviews

Debuting this year as Isuzu's fifth sport-ute model, the Axiom attempts to blend the rugged nature of a sport-utility with the style and driving dynamics of a sedan. It features a retuned version of the Trooper's 3.5-liter V6, Isuzu's Torque On Demand (TOD) four-wheel-drive system, an Integrated Monitor System (IMS) that controls both the climate control and audio systems and a trick trip computer synchronized with the U.S. Atomic clock.

• Strong V6, distinctive styling, unique features.

• Limited drivetrain choices, old tech underpinnings.

  Lota Bang for the Bucks - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By rcopa2 - October 7 - 10:00 am

  You sure get alot for the money. The interior is great, lot of nice touchs. Excellent fit and finish. Feels and looks well put together. Its just loaded with features, feels like a high end suv. Its even got a full alloy spare. I really like all the stainless and chrome touchs inside and out. Its not for everyone but I am really enjoying this Isuzu.

  Reliably Different - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By T Murray - October 7 - 10:00 am

  Does not look like other SUVs which I prefer. Over 30K Miles and not one problem of any type. Cross country trip in winter 2003 Seattle to Boston averaged 21.4 mpg on reg gas with car loaded to max. Torque on Demand 4 wheel drive system great in Ice and snow. Wife commuted in Boston winter weather in 04 without a problem. Dual mode suspension great for freeway flats or in the mountains. Went from a Mitsu Montero to Axiom for better milage and performance and like the size better. No recalls no problems, decent milage for 4 wheel drive. What more can I ask for. Definitely under-rated by writers.

  Throughly Pleased - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By AxiomInMD - July 4 - 2:00 am

  I traded my 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee for my Axoim and do not regreat my discission. The ride is excellent and the V6 engine out performs the Jeep. The two-tone leather is eye pleasing as well as extremely comfortable.

  Dont let the Reviews fool you! - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By srad - June 4 - 10:00 am

  I have only owned this vehicle a few weeks but have managed to take it down curved roads, dirt and graveled roads, highway, rain, etc. This is a great vehicle. Most reviews I have read didnt like the gas mileage-Compared to what? Most suvs get less than 20 anyway- A wife, 2 kids, 2 dogs fits just fine. I have drove Passat wagons, 4-Runners, Pathfinders, and full size chevy-ford trucks and this is a very reasonable compromise. I never had any major problems with Isuzu-I really recommend this vehicle if you can get it under($22,000). It just has a bad name... it is not a bad vehicle.

  The most underrated SUV out there!!! - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By BlackAx - June 4 - 10:00 am

  Bought an Axiom 4wd base model a month ago. This truck is a blast to drive. The driving positon is great, plenty of room. It came stock with all of the features youd find in more expensive trucks. The fit and finish are excellent. It has all of the room of some of the larger, more expensive SUVs out there. Its guarenteed to turn heads at every stoplight! Theyre not selling well so you can really get a great deal now. Remember, this is a truck not a jacked up car.

  impressive vehicle??!!! - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By ITS NOT IN A NAME - February 26 - 2:00 am

  this suv is complete in all aspects..the exterior&interior designs of this vehicle are as good as "hondas" and the "toyotas" why is it that it is underrated in the reviews and the resale value...and one thing i noticed if its a honda like the passport the resale is much higher than the rodeo while they are 100% exactly the same vehicle,.so whats in a name HAH! its time to change our judgement,. OK!?!?

  A year later it is still running well - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By trev4 - January 21 - 10:00 am

  After 20,000 miles in the first year and countless skiing trips to Mammoth mountain and Joshua Tree over the winter, we have had no problems with the Axiom, and it always is ready to be driven hard. Seems to be very reliable so far. Still a head turner, good performance and handling and room for a lot of gear. We will be running this guy for another 100,000 at least.
