Isuzu Alterra Main Summary

The Isuzu Alterra is effectively an SUV that is designed around the core of a pickup truck. The vehicle was first introduced to the market in 2005, but ceased production back in 2014. Despite no longer being an active model of the carmaker, the Isuzu Alterra is still a popular used car in the Philippines. One of the major driving forces behind the popularity of the Alterra is the vehicle’s price tag – it is one of the most affordable utility vehicles of its class.

The Isuzu MU-X was released in 2014 to replace the Isuzu Alterra, although the designs do differ. The Isuzu Alterra wasn’t manufactured locally, but it didn’t stop it from being a top seller in the Filipino market.
