4. Isuzu Rodeo (Amigo)
When the Isuzu Rodeo debuted in 1990—known as the Amigo in select markets—it brought fresh versatility to the SUV segment.
Available in both two- and four-door configurations, the Rodeo appealed to a wide range of drivers.
Its affordability and solid off-road credentials made it especially popular with young adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts.
As noted by Edmunds, the Rodeo held its own against rivals like the Ford Explorer, cementing its place in SUV history.
