While the interior might be too bright for some, it does a good job of capturing the concept-car feel without being clownish. The instrument panel is pretty standard, unlike the concept vehicle. The stereo and climate controls have been squeezed into a pretty small space and that makes them somewhat hard to use because their buttons are small. 6-disc CD player swallows discs one at a time and takes up hardly any space. The split-folding back seat is hard to get into and fairly small.
Cargo space is pretty small unless the back seat is folded down.
Power comes from Isuzu's 3.5-liter V6. This results in crisp throttle response from a start and adequate power for passing on the highway. The automatic transmission has both power and winter modes. Although set up to provide good all-weather traction, TOD comes into play on wet roads, in turns and under braking. Power transfer is through an electromagnetic multiplate clutch, and Isuzu's engineers have tuned it to engage smoothly in light traction situations.
