Even though the Commodore will inevitably go the way of FWD and four cylinders, the Colorado stays true to its values. Pricing for the revised Colorado starts at AUD 29,490 (plus on-road costs).
The said pricing applies for the single cab chassis in LS 4x2 form. If you want the crew cab chassis or the crew cab pickup in the LS 4x2 specification, then prepare AUD 34,490 or AUD 35,990, respectively. The LT 4x2 and LTZ 4x2 in crew cab pickup configuration start from AUD 38,990 and AUD 42,490. If, however, you're the off-road type, 4x4 commands an additional AUD 8,000.

Aussies who want to spend top dollar on the 2017 Holden Colorado can do so with the Z71 pictured in the adjacent gallery. The range-topping model is exclusively available as a crew cab pickup that prides itself on all the best bells and whistles Holden is capable of.

Regardless of model, the 2017 Holden Colorado is propelled by a single powerhouse. Of course, I’m referring to a 2.8-liter four-pot turbo diesel with 147 kW (200 PS / 197 hp) and 500 Nm (367 lb-ft). Those who rather the automatic transmission will have to pony up AUD 2,200 across the range.

In terms of capability, the entire range is good for 3,500 kilograms braked and 750 kilograms of unbraked towing capacity. Payload, however, depends on the model. The 4x2 single cab chassis can handle 1,487 kilograms, while the 4x4 Z71 is good for one tonne. “Colorado has resonated well with customers in a segment that has almost doubled in sales in the last ten years, and we’re confident the new 2017 Colorado will build on this and redefine customer expectations of what a truck can be,” said Peter Keley, Holden sales exec.

“Colorado is also the only vehicle in the 4x4 utility vehicle segment to offer remote window activation – a feature we expect to be popular with customers in hot climate parts of Australia,” he added.
