New

Meet the new name for tough

Big on looks. Big on grunt. Big on reliability. The new name for tough, Holden Colorado is here to work and play like no other before it.

Sporting massive wheel arches, aggressive front end and muscular body, its intentions and capabilities are obvious to all. Do your worst. Treat it mean. Colorado will be up for whatever’s going down.

But don’t expect to rough it on the inside. The Colorado’s spacious cabin is all class, and like every Holden, its chassis and suspension are ready to take on Australian driving conditions, ensuring a refined ride and easy handling every time you drive.

All conquering. All powerful. All in your choice of 4x2 or 4x4, and Single, Space or Crew Cab. Every model – from the workhorse DX to the sublime LT-R – equipped with driver and passenger front airbags as standard.

For a hard day’s work. For hard core fun. The new Holden Colorado will get the job done.

Get into it

Workday or holiday, getting there in the new Colorado is never a chore. Easy to get into. Effortless to drive. Its car-like ride and handling is matched by sedan-like spaciousness, deeply cushioned seating and all the features you need.

In the range-topping Colorado LT-R, that means dynamic sports styling and a luxury equipment list as long as your arm. Everything from leather grip steering wheel and shifter, to 6-disc premium CD audio system, MP3 compatibility, cruise control and unique instrument cluster. Not to mention power windows, power mirrors, tilt adjustable steering wheel and keyless entry.

There’s plenty to admire in the roomy LX cabin too, including four-way adjustable seating with adjustable headrests, and driver-focused essentials like power steering and power windows.

Inside the Colorado DX, it’s all about hardwearing practicality. Dish out all the dirt you want. The ultra durable, easy clean floor, seat and cabin surfaces are designed to scrub up a treat every time.

Get the job done

However you earn your living, if you want the best results, you use the best equipment. And there’s no better, tougher, harder working or more adaptable tool of the trade, than the new Holden Colorado.

Choice is the first reason. With over 30 combinations of model, powertrain, cabin, ride height and body style, you’ll have no trouble finding a Colorado that suits your needs without need for compromise.

Chassis strength is another big plus – one that maximises the Colorado’s wheelbase and the potential size, flexibility and usefulness of customised tray fitments.

The pickups are no shrinking violets, either, with large capacity tubs built to withstand just about anything you care to throw at, or in them.

The biggest advantage of all is towing. With Holden’s powerful Common Rail Turbo Diesel under the bonnet of your Colorado 4x4, you can pull three tonnes of gear, there and back, without raising a sweat.

And no matter where work takes you, your Colorado will never be far from expert support thanks to our nationwide network of 300+ Holden Authorised Service Centres.

Make tracks

Camping. Fishing. Skiing. Surfing. When it’s time to make tracks – on road or off – you can count on your Colorado to go the distance.

The ultimate getaway vehicle, its 4x4 credentials are impeccable. Limited Slip Differential. Push-button Shift on the fly. Choice of 4-low, 4-high and 2-high gearing. High ground clearance. Generous entry and departure angles. It’s got the lot.

There’s no shortage of hauling or carrying capacity, either. Towed or stowed, your big boys’ toys can go everywhere you do. Ditto your four biggest mates if you go for one of the spacious, wide-door Crew Cabs.

The power to do what you want, where and when you want – it’s yours to enjoy with every model in the Colorado line up.

Safety and Technology

Active safety

Whether your Colorado is for work or play, safety comes first – for you, your family and your workmates. That’s why vehicle occupants are surrounded by so many passive safety systems. Everything from driver and passenger front airbags – which are standard across the entire range – to a rigid passenger cell, crumple zones and side intrusion bars.

Because prevention is better than cure Colorado is built smart, not just strong. So as well as helping you tough out a collision, its advanced Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) – standard on the Colorado LT-R and all LX 4x4 variants – can help you avoid them altogether.

Passive safety

Safety cell, crumple zones and impact distribution

In frontal and rear collisions, impact energy is absorbed by Colorado’s closed-section collapsible body structure, then channelled around its rigid passenger safety cell to provide maximum protection for the driver and occupants.

The driver and front passenger are also protected from side impact by the reinforced cross members engineered into Colorado’s front doors.

Power

Whether your focus is out and out power, minimising fuel costs or a balance of both, Colorado has an engine to get the job done.

Start with the powerhouse Common Rail Turbo Diesel. Paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, it develops a huge 120 kilowatts of power at 3600rpm, and an awesome 360Nm of torque at 2000rpm* under the bonnet of a 4x4 Colorado, that translates into a massive three tonne towing capacity.

If petrol is your preference, the Colorado’s Australian built 3.6 litre Alloytec V6 also weighs in with an impressive set of numbers – 157 kilowatts of power at 5300rpm and 313Nm of torque at 2800rpm*. Like the diesel, it’s available with powertrain specific 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic transmissions, depending on the model variant. And if it’s 4-cylinder petrol power you want, you’ll find a capable and ever reliable ally in Colorado’s spirited 2.4 litre engine.

Common Rail Turbo Diesel

The Colorado’s advanced 3.0 litre, 4-cylinder Turbo Diesel gives you all the advantages of diesel-powered driving, without any of the traditional drawbacks.

Using Common Rail fuel delivery technology to maintain continuous pressure in the fuel supply system, its electronic fuel injectors are able to release the right amount of fuel into the engine cylinders at the right time.

Fuel combustion is incredibly efficient as a result, dramatically increasing engine torque and power across a wide rev range, cutting engine emissions and minimising vibration and harshness under all driving conditions.

Alloytec V6 petrol engine

Driven the length and breadth of our country, Holden’s renowned Alloytec range includes some of the most sophisticated and advanced production engines ever manufactured in Australia.

The Colorado’s 3.6 litre Alloytec is no exception. Offering exceptional performance and towing capabilities, its engineering and technological enhancements include:
