7. Subaru Bighorn (1980s-1990s)
In Japan, Subaru entered the SUV scene with the Bighorn, but the vehicle was a true Isuzu Trooper at heart.
By rebadging Isuzu’s robust design, Subaru quickly offered a tough, full-size SUV to meet growing off-road and family demands during the era’s SUV craze.
This strategic move showcased Isuzu’s willingness to share its proven platforms, allowing other brands to expand into new segments efficiently.
