Isuzu Turquoise: a mid-sized bus, versions and inspection
Isuzu Turquoise (from 2007) — a mid-sized tourist and suburban bus, manufactured in Turkey. We look at the versions, engines, and what to check when buying used.
Turquoise in brief
Turquoise — a mid-sized bus manufactured by Anadolu Isuzu in Turkey, roughly 8 meters in length. It's designed for excursions, suburban routes, and employee transport when a large bus is too big, and a minibus is too small.
In the used market, Turquoise is sought after by operators needing a compact yet comfortable bus. It's frequently seen in Poland, the Czech Republic, and other Central European countries.
Versions — what's the difference?
Turquoise is offered in several interior configurations — tourist, suburban, and city. They differ in seating, door layout, and the number of standing places.
Later models feature more modern electronics and a stricter emissions class. Before buying, make sure you know the exact version and standard.
Engines and gearboxes
Turquoise is powered by an Isuzu diesel engine — usually around 5 liters in capacity. The emissions class depends on the year — from Euro 4 to Euro 5/6.
Gearboxes are usually manual. Before buying, test the gearbox and clutch, as they wear out faster in city driving.
What to check when buying a used Turquoise
Inspect the body — look for dents, wheel arches, door frames, and the floor. Start the engine cold and listen for any unusual noises, smoke, or leaks.
Check the suspension, brakes, air conditioning, seats, and emergency exits. Ask for service history and mileage verification.
Check the availability of parts and service in Lithuania. In Euro 5/6 versions, check the AdBlue system.
