2018 Holden Equinox Preview Drive REVIEW – Holden’s Future CX-5 Fighter
THE 2018 HOLDEN EQUINOX IS VITAL FOR THE BRAND, replacing the Captiva SUV as Holden's alternative to Mazda's CX-5 and the Toyota RAV4.
Holden is in the midst of a historic transformation as the brand shifts from local manufacturing to a fully-imported lineup.
In 2018, Holden's showroom will look dramatically different to what is available now – the Australian-made Commodore and Cruze will be gone, and the new Astra hatch and sedan will be joined by SUVs vital for the brand's success.
One such SUV is the Equinox. Holden was keen to give TMR a glimpse into its future SUV range, inviting a handful of journalists to its Lang Lang proving ground for a preview drive of its upcoming line-up.
Vehicle Style: Medium SUV
Price: TBA
Engine/trans: 186kW/353Nm 2.0-litre 4cyl turbo petrol | 9sp automatic
OVERVIEW
Having confiscated cameras and taped over the lenses on our smartphones, engineers presented a pair of camoflague-clad crossovers.
Set to arrive locally in November, the Equinox has been subject to an extensive development program including a dedicated Australian suspension tune.
