24th December, 2012
- Serious off-road capability
- Shared architecture and underpinnings with new-generation Colorado
- Rear Park Assist and reversing camera on all models
- 5 star ANCAP safety rating across the range
- 3-tonne towing capacity
Holden has boosted its SUV range, to build upon the success of the Colorado light commercial vehicle range, by the
introduction of its first serious off-roader in more than a decade, the new Colorado 7 4X4.
Developed alongside the Colorado LCV range, Colorado 7 has been designed to meet the needs of customers seeking a
tough SUV with genuine off-road credentials and a cabin large enough to haul a large family and cargo.
Colorado 7 boasts the same 'muscular' styling, powerful new Duramax 2.8-litre turbo diesel engine and impressive
off-road capability as its LCV 'stable mate' with generous cargo space, full-size seven-seat interior, and a chassis
configuration designed specifically for the SUV.
The Holden Colorado 7 will be available in two specifications, the entry level LT and top-spec LTZ. Recommended
manufacturer's list pricing* ranges from $46,990* for the LT and $50,490* for the LTZ.
Colorado 7 shares the safety credentials of the Colorado Crew Cab, which is recognised with a 5-star ANCAP safety
rating. Colorado’s robust structural design is backed by a comprehensive array of safety features with Electronic
Stability Control, dual front airbags and full-length curtain airbags that extend to the third row on both LT and LTZ
variants.
One powertrain and transmission combination will be available with the strong-performing 2.8-litre diesel engine and
6-speed automatic transmission standard on both LT and LTZ versions of the Colorado 7.
Colorado 7’s advanced diesel technology ensures it returns 9.4 litres per 100 kilometres (ADR 81/02) and 252 grammes
of CO2 per kilometre on the standard 'combined cycle' test.
Colorado 7’s chassis has been engineered independently of the Colorado LCV and is biased towards passenger comfort.
The Holden SUV’s impressive off-road performance is underpinned by a part time four-wheel drive system with transfer
case, with low and high ratio gears, Shift on the Fly and Limited Slip Differential. Colorado 7’s Descent Control System
enhances its already formidable 4X4 capability.
Colorado 7’s generous interior dimensions enable a spacious and practical interior lay out, with seven seats fitted
across the range. With the second and third row seats folded, Colorado 7 can accommodate as much as 1,830 litres of
cargo.
Holden Executive Director - Sales and Marketing Philip Brook said Colorado 7 will be an exciting addition to Holden’s
growing SUV portfolio, allowing Holden to offer a serious 4X4 alternative in the rapidly expanding SUV market.
“The new Colorado 7 is the type of vehicle Australian buyers expect Holden to offer. We’re really excited to bring
a genuine off-roader back into the Holden line-up,” he said.
“Colorado 7 is a very impressive all-rounder – it has seven seats, tough on-road presence, a rugged body-on-frame
structure, powerful 2.8 litre Duramax diesel powertrain with 6-speed automatic transmission, 3-tonne towing capacity and
enough room to haul the family and a heap of gear.”
“It also has an accomplished and durable four-wheel drive system with Shift on the Fly, Descent Control and Limited
Slip Differential, which means it’s capable of tackling the toughest bush tracks.”
“Colorado 7 also offers peace of mind with a maximum five star ANCAP safety rating, reversing camera, rear parking
sensors, driver and front passenger airbags, full length curtain airbags and Electronic Stability Control across the
range.”

“It represents outstanding value with a starting price of $46,990* for the LT, which comes fully loaded with side
steps, 16” alloy wheels, front fog lamps, leather wrapped steering wheel, Bluetooth® and six speaker audio system with
USB and iPod® connectivity.”
“With our Captiva range a proven performer in the family SUV sector, Colorado 7 taking up the challenge in the
serious four-wheel drive market, and the new Trax SUV arriving next year, Holden will be in its best position yet to take
advantage of the SUV sales boom.”
Powertrain and performance
Colorado 7 is powered by the same Duramax in-line four-cylinder 2.8-litre diesel engine first seen in the Colorado LCV
range. It delivers peak torque of 470 Nm and 132 kW of power.
The high-tech diesel engine is designed to achieve a balance of load-carrying performance and fuel economy and returns
9.4 litres per 100 kilometres and 252 grams of CO2 per kilometre.
Colorado 7 has an impressive 3,000 kg towing capacity thanks to the torque and strength from its diesel powertrain,
6-speed automatic transmission and robust driveline.
Colorado 7’s stable footprint is courtesy of front independent double wishbone suspension and five-link rear suspension
configuration with coil springs at all four wheels.
The five-link rear suspension has been engineered to provide greater stability and surefooted performance,
particularly when towing. Its design enables a smoother towing experience and minimises trailer snaking and lateral
movement.
Highlights include:
- 2.8-litre Duramax in-line 4-cylinder turbo diesel engine
- Six-speed automatic transmission with Active Select
- Independent double wishbone front suspension
- Five-link live axle rear suspension
- Coil springs front and rear

Manufacture
The new Holden Colorado 7 is built on the same production line as its Colorado 'sibling' at GM’s vehicle assembly
plant in Rayong, Thailand.
The range of Duramax four-cylinder turbo diesel engines are produced exclusively at GM’s Thailand engine operations,
which opened alongside the vehicle plant in September last year.
Bold, dynamic exterior design
Holden’s newest SUV was designed in parallel with the Colorado truck in GM’s design studio in Brazil, where the team
was challenged with developing a clean sheet design that would appeal to a vast bandwidth of customers in multiple
markets.
Designers have made full use of Colorado’s brutish proportions to make a bold exterior design that conveys a sense of
and purpose.
Colorado 7’s strong presence is balanced by 'muscular' styling with finer sculpted highlights which sweep through
the Colorado 7’s roofline, doors and mudguards, and a distinctive upper glass canopy that wraps around the rear corners
of the exterior.

integrates with the front upper door panels. LED ice blue illumination enhances the three-dimensional dials, dual gauge
instrument cluster, audio system and air-conditioning controls in the driver’s display and centre stack.
For maximum flexibility, the Colorado 7’s second row has 60/40 split folding seats which can be stowed in a forward
tumble motion with a single latch in the seat back. The second row seat backs are also reclinable, while the third row
has a 50/50 split configuration. Both rows fold to provide a versatile load space.
