Four intriguing 2002 Isuzu Axiom
Sport Utility models are offered for the year 2002,
each designed to bring extra elements to appeal to your
driving and lifestyle demands. The Axiom combines the
size and power of a truck or SUV with the feel that
one experiences while driving a car. The Isuzu is categorized
as a sport utility vehicle, but it really is a crossover
that will appeal to a broad spectrum of drivers. The
four models are Axiom 2WD Sport Utility, Axiom SX 2WD
Sport Utility, Axiom 4WD Sport Utility, and Axiom SX
4WD Sport Utility, all with four-door entry and a seating
capacity of five passengers.
From the outside, the Isuzu Axiom
2WD Sport Utility displays a color-keyed front grill,
bumper, and hatch along with body-colored power mirrors
that are heated to maintain clarity. Looking into the
cabin, it has a four-way power driver’s seat, the
upholstery is velour cloth, and the rear seat splits
and folds down. Luxuries and conveniences include cruise
control, power windows and door locks, keyless entry
system, and theft alarm. Benefits such as air conditioning
and rear seat heat ducts ensure the comfort of all passengers.
Each vehicle is equipped with an AM/FM stereo with CD
player and eight speakers for entertainment. Little
bonuses like a retractable cargo cover and a roomy interior
make a big difference.
Safety is an important priority
as well, with the Isuzu Axiom 2WD including such standards
as ABS brakes, dual note trumpet-type horn, driver side
air bag, and passenger side air bag. Child safety locks
have been installed in every vehicle, along with 3-point
seatbelts and front and rear head restraints.
Engine specifications include a
3.5L six-cylinder engine with DOHC and 230 horsepower.
The transmission is four-speed automatic with overdrive,
tires are mud and snow SBR, and the vehicle is rear
wheel drive. Steering is rack and pinion, while the
braking system is power front vented disc and rear drum
brakes. The fuel economy rating is estimated at 16/20
(city/hwy).
Taking off where the previous model
left off, the Isuzu Axiom XS 2WD Sport Utility adds
a power tilt and slide moonroof for a fresh breeze and
cheerful ambience. Fog lamps have also been installed
for optimum visibility in poor weather conditions. Inside,
they have upgraded the front passenger seat with four-way
power controls and the seating is heated with fine leather
upholstery and leather door inserts.
The Isuzu Axiom 4WD Sport Utility
takes it even further, increasing performance to include
limited slip differential, four-wheel on-demand/shift-on-the-fly
drive, and power four-wheel vented disc brakes. This
vehicle is definitely a strong off-road contender in
the SUV category.
Finishing off the line up, the Isuzu
Axiom XS 4WD drive adapts all the performance, luxury,
and safety features of the previous vehicles. The moonroof
and mud flaps make their appearance once again, making
for happy passengers and a cleaner vehicle after powering
down that dirt road on the way to the cottage.
