The upcoming 2012 Colorado pickup has been revealed in Holden trim today, following its unveiling in Chevrolet form last year.
Set for a mid-year sales debut, the new Holden Colorado will be offered in Crew (pictured), Single and Space bodystyles.
Two turbocharged DOHC four-cylinder diesel engines will be offered, along with a five-speed manual and a six-speed automatic transmission. Details of these engines were revealed late last year.
In 2.5 litre turbodiesel form, available with a five-speed manual transmission only, the Colorado will offer 110kW at 3800rpm and 350Nm of torque from 2000rpm.
The larger 2.8 litre engine will deliver 132kW at 3800rpm with both transmissions, producing 440Nm of torque with the manual and 470Nm with the auto - the latter bettering the 3.0 litre diesel it replaces.
Fuel consumption figures remain a secret for now, but Holden has confirmed a 3.5 tonne towing capacity for the 2.8 litre models and 3.0 tonnes for the 2.5 litre engine.
The Colorado's suspension package includes independent double wishbone coil spring front suspension and a leaf spring arrangement at the rear.
