Isuzu Como I (E25) gallery (2001–2012)

The first-generation Isuzu Como, designated by the key E25, was manufactured from 2001 to 2012 primarily for the domestic Japanese market. The vehicle shared its platform with Nissan minivans, functioning as a direct twin to the Nissan Caravan E25. The body styles ranged from standard cargo vans to multi-seat passenger microbuses offering various roof heights and wheelbase configurations. The powertrain lineup featured reliable gasoline and diesel engines coupled with manual or automatic transmissions, available in both rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive layouts. Compared to older light commercial vehicles, this generation introduced a semi-bonneted layout that significantly enhanced crash safety and cabin ergonomics. Throughout its lifecycle, the model underwent minor facelifts updating the front grille, lighting elements, and interior trim details. Its primary target market remained Japan, where it became a popular choice for commercial fleets due to its cargo capacity and daily reliability.
