This price range reflects the Kelley Blue Book Suggested Retail value for all trim levels, but not necessarily all available options.
The Kelley Blue Book Suggested Retail value represents the amount an auto dealer might ask for a specific vehicle; the actual sale price will vary. A vehicle's popularity, condition, warranty, color and local market conditions are factors involved in determining a final price. The retail value is not a trade-in or private party value.
The Suggested Retail value assumes that the vehicle has been fully reconditioned and has a clean title history. The Suggested Retail value also allows for advertising, sales commissions, insurance and other costs of doing business as a dealer. Most vehicles offered at this price have passed an inspection, and some may carry a warranty. Vehicle mileage is assumed to be normal or below normal.

Vehicle Overview
The name is new, but the vehicle isn’t: This SUV was formerly known as the Amigo. Isuzu says it changed names to advertise rather than hide that the two-door Rodeo Sport is a kid brother of the larger four-door Rodeo.
The Rodeo Sport is built on a shorter version of the truck chassis used for the Rodeo, and it shares the same engines, four-wheel-drive system and front styling.
Exterior Two body styles are available, both with two side doors and an overall length of 168 inches, about 9 inches shorter than the four-door Rodeo. The convertible has a hardtop over the front seats with a manual, removable sunroof and a folding soft-top over the rear seats. The hardtop wagon adds a second sunroof over the rear seats in lieu of the folding top.
Interior Isuzu says the Rodeo Sport seats five, though that might be optimistic given the modest space for the three-place rear seat. The front passenger seat has a walk-in feature that slides the seat forward when the backrest is released.
Under the Hood A 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine with 130 horsepower is standard, and a 3.2-liter V-6 with 205 hp is optional. Both engines are now available with manual shift or a four-speed automatic. Four-wheel drive is available with either engine, and it is a part-time system that should be used only on slippery surfaces.
