Holden Barina sedan arrives

Holden has launched the all-new Barina sedan to add some boot to the hatch model.

The Holden’s new generation Barina sedan - an extended version of the hatch - has just landed in showrooms with a starting price of $16,490.

However the sedan has more cargo space than its sibling storing 502 litres compared to the 290 litres the hatch offers with the seats up.

The Barina sedan comes equipped with standard features including Bluetooth phone and audio streaming, USB input and iPod connectivity, steering wheel controls, cruise control and ‘follow me home’ headlights, as well as interior storage options.

Like the hatch the 4-door sedan is powered by a 1.6 litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine equipped with standard 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic and shares a five-star ANCAP safety rating.

The hatch has sold 1,318 units since its release last November and Holden spokesman John Elsworth says the sedan will be “an excellent addition to the range”.

“The addition of the sedan variant adds a new dimension of practicality and flexibility to the Barina range,” he says.

  • Interesting how "Holden's" smallest sedan has a bigger boot than their largest! (I am not however taking into account the effect of the 'goose neck" hinges of the Barina and the non-intrusive scissor hinges of the Commodore, just the quoted capacities)

  • The front is just about as UGLY as the previous model. The front view does not blend well at all compared to competitive models.GM is yet to design a decent looking 4 cylinder car.
