Isuzu Turkuaz

The Turkuaz is a bus of 7,850 mm that Anadolu Isuzu Otomotiv Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. sells in Türkiye under the Isuzu name, in the “Turizm” section of its model range. The figures come from two Anadolu Isuzu documents: the two-page Turkish catalogue of the Turkuaz, whose PDF was created on 16 October 2026 and which prints no date of its own, and the Turkuaz model page on isuzu.com.tr, which carries no publication date (footer “Copyright © 2024 Anadolu Isuzu”). Both were read on 9 November 2026. Anadolu Isuzu’s Grand Toro is described in Isuzu Grand Toro.

Maker’s description

The model page calls the Turkuaz the flagship of the Isuzu bus family (“Isuzu otobüs ailesinin amiral gemisi”) and says that it offers a high level of comfort to its user and to its passengers. It adds that the Turkuaz, with its renewed exterior and interior design (“yenilenen dış görünüşü ve iç dizaynıyla”), aims to offer its passengers more comfort. No document opened gives the year the Turkuaz was introduced, the date of the renewal or a description of the earlier version.

The first page of the catalogue carries the line “Anadolu Isuzu; Isuzu’nun Asya kıtası dışında bulunan tüm tesislerinde, IMM sertifikasına sahip tek fabrikasıdır”: Anadolu Isuzu describes its plant as the only factory among all of Isuzu’s facilities outside the Asian continent that holds IMM certification. The same page notes that the weight figures are nominal values for the base vehicle configuration, and that models, equipment and technical data may differ from country to country, from region to region and over time. In the equipment list, “S” marks an item as standard and “O” as optional (“S: Standart O: Opsiyonel”).

Dimensions and weight

The weight row is headed “Azami Yüklü Ağırlık”, maximum laden weight. The side drawing on the same page shows two axles. The model page gives the length as “7,8m”. No document opened gives a kerb weight, axle ratings, a turning circle or a wheel formula. What the rows of a bus data sheet stand for is set out in how a coach specification sheet is read.

Engine

The model page fills its engine-displacement row (“Motor Hacmi”) with “ISUZU 5.2L”, gives diesel (“Dizel”) as the fuel and prints the same power and torque, 140 kW (190 PS) at 2,600 rpm and 510 Nm at 1,600–2,600 rpm. The Euro VI stages are set out in Euro 6 and Euro 7 explained.

Gearbox and brakes

The catalogue names two gearboxes: the Isuzu MZZ-6, a manual, as standard, and the Isuzu NEES, an automatic, as an option (“Manuel (S) / Otomatik (O)”). Its one row for the number of gears gives six forward gears and one reverse (“6 İleri, 1 Geri”). The model page gives the gearbox as “Manuel (S), Otomatik (O)”.

The brakes are discs at the front and at the rear (“Disk / Disk”), in a self-adjusting full-air system with ABS (“ABS’li Otomatik Ayarlı, Tam Havalı Fren Sistemi”). The parking brake is air-actuated and acts on the rear axle. The auxiliary brake (“Yardımcı Fren”) is an exhaust brake (“Egzoz Freni”). ABS, ASR, EBS and AEBS, the advanced emergency braking system, are standard; a retarder is optional. Retarders and exhaust brakes are covered in retarders and engine braking.

Suspension, tyres, tanks and electrical system

The front suspension uses parabolic steel-alloy leaf springs (“Parabolik Çelik Alaşımlı Yaprak Yaylar”); the rear suspension is air suspension (“Havalı Süspansiyon”). The tyre size is 235/75 R17.5. The fuel tank holds 190 litres, marked standard (“190 (S)”), and the AdBlue tank 16 litres. The electrical system has a nominal voltage of 24 V, with two 12 V batteries of 125 Ah (“2x12 V - 125 Ah”).

Seating, luggage and doors

The standard layout is 30 passengers, a hostess and the driver (“30 (Yolcu) + 1 (Hostes) + 1 (Sürücü)”). The optional layouts are 33 passengers and the driver, or 31 passengers, a hostess and the driver. The hostess seat is standard, and a footnote says that the 33-seat layout has no hostess-seat option; a note in the equipment section adds that different seating layouts are available (“Farklı oturma düzenleri mevcuttur”). The model page gives the passenger capacity as “33+1”.

The luggage compartment holds 3.8 m³ in the catalogue (“Bagaj Kapasitesi”); the model page gives the luggage volume (“Bagaj Hacmi”) as “3,8”. Central locking, listed under the luggage compartment, is optional; an in-vehicle hand-luggage compartment, the parcel rack (“Şapkalık”), is standard.

There are two service doors, the front door and the rear door (“Arka Kapı”), both single-leaf and opening outwards (“Tek Kanat, Dışa Açılır”), with remote control as standard. A passenger lift or the preparation for one (“Yolcu Asansörü veya Hazırlığı”) is optional.

Safety and driver-assistance systems

The safety list of the catalogue marks as standard a lane departure warning system (LDWS), tyre pressure monitoring (TPMS), a row headed “Reverse Motion”, driver drowsiness and attention warning (DDAW), an emergency braking system, a blind spot information system (BSIS), a moving off information system (MOIS), a cyber security system, intelligent speed assistance (ISA), an alcohol-meter preparation (“Alkolmetre (Hazırlık)”), cruise control, a speed limiter, a tachograph, ABS, ASR, ESC/ESP, EBD, a parking sensor, an engine-compartment fire detection and automatic extinguishing system, a spare wheel, a tyre inflation kit, a roof emergency exit and ventilation hatch, front fog lamps and daytime running lamps (DTRL). The row for hill start assistance (“Yokuş Kalkış Desteği”) carries neither an S nor an O. Which of these systems the EU General Safety Regulation requires, and from when, is set out in mandatory driver assistance systems; the rules for engine-compartment fire detection and suppression are covered in bus fire safety.

Driver’s area, interior, climate and equipment

The driver’s seat is air-actuated and adjustable. The windscreen sun visor is manual as standard and automatic as an option. Electrically controlled side mirrors, heated horn-type side mirrors (“Isıtmalı Boynuz Tipi Yan Ayna”), a front-right close-range mirror (“Sağ Ön Göğüs Ayna”), a cabinet above the driver, a USB charging socket and a first-aid kit are standard; a cabinet above the hostess is optional. The windscreen is one-piece (“Yekpare”) and the driver’s side window is of the sliding type (“Kayan Tip”).
