Year to Year Changes
2004 Isuzu Ascender:
Front side airbags and remote keyless entry became options rather than standard equipment in the Ascender's second season. Later in the year, a five-passenger model debuted, based on regular-length GM midsize SUVs.
2005 Isuzu Ascender:
Now Isuzu's sole model as the Axiom and Rodeo SUVs departed, the Ascender gained a gas-saving feature. The V8 now had GM's Displacement on Demand system, which automatically deactivated four of the cylinders to save fuel under certain lighter-load conditions. Newly optional head-protecting curtain side airbags, which covered the first and second rows of seats, replaced seat-mounted airbags.
2006 Isuzu Ascender:
Little change for the 2006 Ascender. Curtain side airbags were optional.
2007 Isuzu Ascender:
Isuzu's SUV loses its seven-passenger versions and available V8 engine for 2007. Ascender is a retrimmed Chevrolet TrailBlazer/GMC Envoy; the GM versions also offer only five-passenger models for '07. Available OnStar assistance is dropped for 2007, but power-adjustable pedals remain among the options.
2008 Isuzu Ascender:
The 2008 Isuzu Ascender SUV was largely unchanged. Note that Isuzu announced plans to discontinue sales of light-duty vehicles in North America during calendar 2009.
