Go Time as All-New Isuzu Range Hits Dealerships

From light-duty through to heavy-duty, select models from Isuzu Trucks’ all new MY25 range are officially on sale across the country as of July 1, 2025.

The brand’s 70 plus dealer locations have received deliveries of N Series NQR models, a range of six-cylinder FV variants, along with heavy-duty FX models.

The landmark ‘start-of-sales’ occasion comes off the back of the largest launch undertaking in the brand’s history, including a monster training campaign, a string of launch events and activities, as well as its largest ever national marketing push.

Isuzu Australia Limited’s (IAL) Director and Chief Operating Officer, Andrew Harbison, said the entire network has been counting down the days and now customers finally have the chance to get behind the wheel. ​ ​

Go time!

“Putting together a full model changeover of this magnitude is unprecedented in our industry.

“There’s somewhere in the vicinity of 120 model variants across the new range and together with our dealer partners, we’re super excited to get this excellent new product in the hands of our customers,” he said.

“Rolling-out such a vast model line-up has required a staged approach and we’re proud to announce the phase one release of some iconic Isuzu models, from light-duty N Series right through to our heavy hitters in the FX range.

“We’ll continue to move through the production phases as 2025 progresses, with a full complement of models on grass across the country over the coming months.”

N Series

Slotting in at the heavier end of Isuzu’s market leading N Series range, popular NQR variants will be the vanguard model of this line-up to go on sale.

With a Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) range of 8,000 kg to 8,800 kg and producing an eager 140kW or 190 metric horsepower via Isuzu’s innovative 4HK1-TCH engine, the 2025 NQR retains Isuzu’s proven MZZ6F six-speed automated manual transmission while a six-speed manual transmission option is also available.

Complying with Australian Design Rule (ADR) 80-04, all N Series engines now have emissions compliance achieved via a combined DPD and SCR system, along with proven Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx).

At the heart of the 2025 Isuzu N Series is a greatly enhanced, industry-leading safety suite.

Made possible via a second-generation stereo camera system - apart of Isuzu’s Advanced Driver Assistance System (otherwise known as ‘ADAS’) - the suite contains both active and passive safety technology fitted to all 4x2 N Series models across the range.

The NQR boasts seven new active safety features added in 2025, with the safety suite boasting a grand total of 15 safety functions, making it amongst the safest vehicles Isuzu Trucks has ever developed for the Australian market.

Headlining these latest additions is the inclusion of Miss Acceleration Mitigation, Intersection Warning System, Distance Warning System, Traffic Movement Warning and Lane Departure Warning, to name just a few of these advanced features.

F Series

Medium-duty customers are the other big winners in this release, with a range of six-cylinder F Series models now on sale across Australia, including select FVR/D, FVL and FVZ/Y models variants.

There are two six-cylinder engine types spanning these models in the F Series range, from Isuzu’s new DB6A engine family, producing distinct outputs and servicing a broad range of Australian applications.

Applying to the FVR/D, Isuzu introduces the 191 kilowatt or 260 metric horsepower DB6A-TCH powerplant with peak torque of 883Nm from 1,000 to 2,070 rpm.

Ratcheting up the output, Isuzu’s DB6A-TCC engine serves multiple models including the FVR/D, FVL and FVZ/Y. Producing 221 kilowatts or 300 metric horsepower with 981 Nm of torque from 1,000 to 2,100 rpm, the enhanced output and efficiencies of the ‘TCC’ variant continue to provide a range of transport options for operators in this highly competitive market segment.

Now in its 6th generation (Gen 6)of electronic controls, the fully automatic Allison 3000, 3500 and 4430 Series transmissions can be found across the F Series 6-cylinder range including the on sale FVR/D, FVL, FVZ/Y and into the FX Series.

F Series safety hasn’t been neglected either, with every model across the line-up, including popular 4x4 models, receiving a comprehensive baseline safety suite containing up to 12 active and passive systems.

F Series ADAS camera technology (now mounted low on the windscreen), combines with a long range milli-wave radar and is now available on all F Series variants, including on-sale FV models.

Features include Distance Warning System, Advanced Emergency Braking, Full Speed Adaptive Cruise Control on selected models as well as Traffic Movement Warning, Traffic Sign Recognition with Intelligent Speed Limiter and Adaptive Driving Beam. The entire FV range of models also features a sophisticated Lane Keep Assist function with Dynamic Steering, a rarity for this market segment.

FX Series

Rounding-out Isuzu’s phase one release is the nation-wide availability of Isuzu’s heavy-duty FX Series models.

Featuring improved powertrain technology, a standout safety package, as well as fresh cabin design and ergonomics, the FX line-up continues to punch well above it weight in the heavy-duty market segment.

The FX Series offers eight model options with GVM up to 26,000 kg, and all equipped with Isuzu's robust six-cylinder 6UZ1-TCC engine, delivering 259 kW of power.

This high-performance engine produces a peak torque of 1,437 Nm at 1,400 rpm and now meets the stringent Euro VI emissions standard under ADR 80/04.

Designed for versatility, it has been finely tuned to suit a wide range of Australian working conditions and applications.

The 2025 FX Series boasts a brave new design, featuring an aerodynamic grille, signature Bi-LED headlights with adaptive driving beam, and distinctive Daytime Running Lamps (DRLs).

Keyless entry via a door handle button grants access to a durable, ergonomic cab with intuitive storage and a fold-down centre seat. Interior lighting includes large LED work lights and dome lamps for optimal visibility.

Drivers will enjoy the standard ISRI 6860/875 NTS2 climate seat—heated and ventilated—with extensive adjustability.

Combining advanced tech, driver-focused ergonomics, and rugged practicality, the FX Series is built for demanding Australian conditions.

Time to shine

Whilst full of praise for the outgoing line-up, Mr Harbison reaffirmed the brand’s confidence in Isuzu’s MY25 release, suggesting that this month’s model release signals a new era for Australia’s favourite truck brand.

“Isuzu Trucks has had the privilege of serving all manner of Australian industry with quality, cost effective capital equipment for more than 50 years - 36 of those as the number one brand in the country.*

“I can’t praise enough the quality of the product we receive from our parent company in Japan – it’s quite literally developed into an automotive icon here in Australia,” Mr Harbison said.

“However, what we have now with the model year 2025 release is something elevated yet again.

“We’re super excited and extremely proud of this new line-up and importantly, the benefits it’s poised to bring across a range of fronts for Australian truck customers.”
