2017 Holden Line-up
The all-new and facelifted models
have been introduced by Holden for the Australian market. The range of new
models consists of facelifted Barina and Trax models, the latest Holden Astra,
the Trailblazer and the Acadia.
The roll out of the Acadia for the
Australian market is certainly the headline for Holden's plethora of new local
models. The vehicle is in effect a re-badged version of the GMC Acadia unveiled
earlier in the year and Australian-bound models will reach local shores in
2018. No mechanical changes are expected
meaning the model should come standard with a 2.5-liter engine that includes a
stop-start system, just like the U.S. car.
The latest Holden Astra, it is
the same as the Opel Astra sold throughout Europe and compared to the outgoing
model, is 200 kg lighter. The hatchback also comes complete with full matrix
LED headlights as standard.
The 2017 Holden Trailblazer serving as the
replacement to the Colorado 7. The model retains its predecessor's 2.8-liter
turbo-diesel engine, continuing to deliver 197 hp and 500 Nm of torque.
Also added to Holden's range is the
latest Trax. Beyond the
badges, the car remains the same as its American twin meaning it's easy to
differentiate from the previous model due to its refreshed design, both inside
and out.
Last but not least is the facelifted
Holden Barina (Chevrolet Sonic). It will go on sale locally in November and be
offered with a 1.8-liter petrol four-cylinder and a smaller 1.4-liter
turbocharged powertrain.
