The remains of the flood on the car were clearly visible, it even gave the impression that it was still wet covering the entire exterior.
Likewise on the interior.Water mixed with mud was seen pooling inside, dirtying the seats, steering wheel, and other corners of the MPV with BL plates from Aceh.

Interestingly, the car’s engine remains running in idling condition with the distinctive sound of the Panther’s flagship diesel.
“Panther Sabil Aceh was submerged in floodwater for 10 hours. Thank God it is still alive or alive,” he wrote on the account, quoted Monday (8/12).
“Indeed, this Isuzu is stubborn and won’t die,” he said later.
According to detik, this is not the first time that the Isuzu Panther has been reported to be ‘immune’ to flooding.Five years ago, the diesel MPV was also in the spotlight after it was able to cut through a fairly high puddle of water in Bekasi, West Java.
Isuzu said the 4JA1-L direct-injection diesel engine in the Panther is claimed to be safe across flood waters, provided some parts remain dry.
“Technically, it can be explained that basically conventional diesel vehicles as long as the battery and electrical lines are not short-circuited and the intake is not filled with water, the car will still be able to run and most importantly cannot stop when passing through floods,” said the official release.
The Isuzu Panther has the intake position above the wheels or fenders, while the vehicle’s battery position is also high.So, when the car is submerged, it will be difficult for water to enter the fenders and engine room.Technically, water tends to part, especially when the vehicle is moving.
Moreover, technically diesel cars do not require spark plugs for ignition.Meanwhile, vehicles using spark plugs such as petrol cars are more prone to water problems.
However, Isuzu still asks Panther owners to be wiser when crossing flood waters.Because, at some moments, the resulting impact will be different.
