Isuzu wait times in 2022: How long are Isuzu’s delivery delays?

After a new Isuzu, but not sure how long you'll have to wait?

Issues such as semiconductor chip shortages, shipping problems and sickness and isolation have affected the ability of manufacturers like Isuzu to keep their production lines going over the last two years.

As such, all of the Japanese brand's models are currently experiencing some delays.

However, some models are in greater supply than others, with flexibility around powertrains, specification and vehicle colour likely to see a vehicle in your driveway sooner.

Overall, according to Price My Car, the average wait time in December for an Isuzu was 205 days – compared to 169 days in January 2022.

The quickest to get hold of is the D-Max ute, but even that's not a short wait at 161 days. To take delivery of the MU-X SUV, expect an average delay of 248 days.

A spokesperson for Isuzu Ute Australia (IUA) told us: "Wait time on the Isuzu D-Max and MU-X depends on vehicle specification, colour and accessories ordered. Some models are available and in stock currently, while there continues to be ongoing supply delays, especially on certain higher grade models.

"The supply delays are mainly due to the unprecedented levels of demand and vehicle component supply delays caused by the global semiconductor shortage and ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

"IUA and all related parties continue to follow up this matter and we remain committed to keeping dealers informed on their vehicle orders, so they can pass this information onto their customers as quickly as possible."

With all of the above in mind, it is important to consider this article a guide only.
