The brand new Chevrolet Trailblazer midsize SUV made its global debut at the 2011 Dubai Motor Show yesterday and already Australia’s Holden brand has made an official statement saying they will also sell the body on chassis off-roader starting in the first quarter of 2013.
The only difference is that it will be marketed as the Colorado 7, so basically they are calling it a seven-seater version of the pickup. The Trailblazer’s chassis is tuned for the dual requirements of heavy-duty off-road performance and ride comfort in urban and city driving, while its body-on-frame construction makes it an ideal vehicle for towing, or at least that’s what GM claims.
“The Trailblazer show car is an impressive-looking vehicle, and it’s pretty close to what customers will see when the Holden Colorado 7 arrives in Australia in 2013. Colorado 7 will also offer excellent interior flexibility and comfort for up to seven passengers across a third row of seats. It will have the fuel-efficiency and interior comfort of a modern family SUV, along with the towing ability of a working vehicle and the off-road capability of a true 4X4. We’re confident it will have all bases well and truly covered,” said Holden Executive Director Marketing, Sales and Aftersales John Elsworth.
It has not been announced if the Trailblazer will be assembled in Australia or imported from Thailand.
