Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 9 Oct, 15:37 · Archive

Isuzu has replaced the NLS with the new NMS, featuring a nine-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Isuzu has replaced the NLS with the new NMS in its N-Series truck range, which accounts for around half of all trucks sold in its category in Australia. The new model addresses previous driveability issues by introducing a nine-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, replacing the single-clutch automatic of the previous generation. A five-speed manual remains available.

The NMS is powered by a 3.0-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine and is available in rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, and four-wheel drive configurations for off-roading. The new generation features a significantly updated interior and technology upgrades alongside a refreshed but familiar exterior design.

The NMS 45-150 AWD model, which offers on-demand all-wheel drive, has a 4500kg gross vehicle mass rating that makes it suitable for drivers holding a standard car licence. Buyers needing greater carrying capacity can opt for the NMS 65-150, with a 6500kg rating, provided they hold the appropriate commercial licence.
