The Isuzu Bellel was a mid-range model produced by the Japanese car manufacturer Isuzu from 1962 to 1967 .

In addition to the original model range based on the Hillman Minx , Isuzu developed the Bellel mid-range sedan, which was presented in 1961, as its first own model. The original model, a four-door sedan with a two-liter petrol engine in standard and deluxe versions, was joined by a 1.5-liter variant, a version with a two-liter diesel engine and a station wagon version called Bellel Express , also with a diesel engine. In 1962 the front section was redesigned, and another facelift followed in 1965 .

In just under 6 years, a total of around 37,000 copies were made, the successor model was the Isuzu Florian .
