Billed as an urban off-roader, this Toyota RAV-4-sized mini-ute was penned by Isuzu’s European design team. It is designed to carry up to 7 passengers, which should be an easy task for the Deseo’s direct-injection gasoline-powered 3.2-liter DOHC V-6, which is claimed to provide the dual benefits of increased power under full-throttle operation and improved fuel economy at idle and low-load running.
Torque is distributed by a new Torque On-Demand electronically controlled transfer case. And finally, to minimize weight, the Deseo is built on an all-aluminum frame, and it employs an aluminum belly pan to reduce underbody aerodynamic drag.
