What is NAVi5?
The "New Advanced Vehicle with Intelligence 5-speed" (NAVi5, also sometimes written "NAVI5" or "NAVI-5") was an automated manual transmission developed by Isuzu Motors Ltd. of Japan. It was initially developed for use in trucks, but was first made available in Isuzu's Aska sedan and subsequently the Gemini and their other Japanese domestic market vehicles. It was an early example of an electrohydraulic manual transmission, preceding the likes of Alfa Romeo’s Selespeed and Opel’s Easytronic by more than a decade.
