Off road

The Z71 is the big boy of the Colorado range, wearing the most expensive price tag (4X4 Crew Cab Pick-Up, $54,990 man or $57,190 auto) but also arriving with the most kit.That money earns you a soft-drop tailgate, 18-inch Arsenal Grey alloys, a new Sailplane sports bar and side rails, gloss black exterior door handles, mirrors and tailgate handle. You also get some style touches, like fender flares, a new front fascia, roof rails, hood decals and underbody protection. There’s also a 8.0-inch touchscreen with standard nav and a seven-speaker stereo, dual-zone climate control, push-button start and leather seats that are heated in the front.A 2.8-litre Duramax turbo-diesel good for 147kW and 500Nm provides the power, paired with a six-speed automatic or a manual gearbox (440Nm manual).Holden's Colorado wears a five-star ANCAP rating right across the range, with the full-marks score awarded in 2016. The safety story consists of seven airbags, rear sensors, a reversing camera and Hill Descent Control, along with the usual site of traction and braking aids. But by spending big on the Z71, you’re also unlocking extra kit, including front sensors, Forward Collision Alert (but not AEB - which is offered across the Ranger range) Lane Departure Warning and a tyre pressure monitoring system.

The LT 4x2 Crew Cab Pick-Up ($41,190 with an automatic gearbox) sits above only the entry-level LS in the Colorado range, and adds some handy equipment. You’ll get a 7.0-inch touchscreen with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, paired with a six-speaker stereo, as well as a leather-wrapped steering wheel and a USB charge point, cloth seats and manual air-conditioning. Outside, you’ll find LED DRLs and powered body-colour mirrors.But your extra spend adds niceties like 17-inch alloys, carpet flooring, a tailgate lock, fog lights and side steps to the standard features list. You still get the same 2.8-litre diesel engine as the rest of the Colorado range.Holden offers a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty across the Colorado family, with servicing required every 12 months or 12,000kms. The brand’s capped-price servicing program is published on its website, and the first seven services (covering seven years) will cost you a total $3033.The Colorado also wears a five-star ANCAP rating right across the range, with the full-marks score awarded in 2016. The safety story includes seven airbags, rear sensors, a reversing camera and Hill Descent Control, along with the usual site of traction and braking aids, all of which are offered across the range, but there's no AEB.

Holden refers to the LSX (4X4 Crew Cab Pick-Up $46,990 - manual, $49,190 - automatic) as its entry-level tough truck, and there are plenty of stylish touches which make it stand out from the pack.The basic features list matches the lower-spec trucks - so expect a 7.0-inch touchscreen with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, paired with a six-speaker stereo. You also get a leather-wrapped steering wheel and a USB charge point. Outside, you’ll find LED DRLs and powered body-colour mirrors, while in the cabin, it's cloth seats, manual air-conditioning and carpet flooring,That “tough” part arrivers via the 18-inch alloys, the gloss black front grille, the black sport bar and fender flares, and the Colorado sticker across the back.You get the same engine, though; a 2.8-litre Duramax turbo-diesel good for 147kW and 500Nm (or 440Nm with a manual) that can be paired with a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic gearbox.Holden's Colorado wears a five-star ANCAP rating right across the range, with the full-marks score awarded in 2016.

The LS forms the entry point to the Holden Colorado range - the true workhorse, if you will - and arrives as a 4x2 Single Cab Chassis for $31,690, a 4x2 Crew Cab Chassis for $36,690 or a LS 4x2 Crew Cab Pick-Up for $38,190.You can also have a 4x4 Single Cab Chassis ($37,490 man, $39,690 auto) a 4x4 Space Cab Chassis ($43,190 auto), a 4x4 Crew Cab Chassis ($43,490 man, $45,690 auto) or a 4x4 Crew Cab Pick-Up ($44,990 man, $47,190 auto).For that spend, the LS will deliver a 7.0-inch touchscreen with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, paired with a six-speaker stereo. You also get a leather-wrapped steering wheel and a USB charge point. Outside, you’ll find LED DRLs and powered body-colour mirrors, while inside its cloth seats and manual air-conditioning.A 2.8-litre Duramax turbo-diesel good for 147kW and 500Nm provides the power, paired with a six-speed automatic or a manual gearbox (440Nm manual).Holden's Colorado wears a five-star ANCAP rating right across the range, with the score awarded in 2016.

The Holden Colorado Ute is as tough as they come, but is it being left behind by Ford, Nissan, Mitsubishi and Toyota? The 2020 Colorado doesn't have a lot of new stuff on offer, so will its seemingly enduring appeal be enough to keep it going for another year?

The Jeep Wrangler is a very capable 4WD with real bush credibility, there's no disputing that, but just how much does something like the line-up's mid-range variant, the 2019 Overland, rest on the laurels of the brand's 'Trail Rated' heritage?

The Mitsubishi's Triton Absolute concept is firming for production, with the company's Australian arm readying to pitch its Japanese head office to green-light the project.The Absolute was first revealed in Bangkok in March, and was designed to show Mit

The upcoming 2020 Land Rover Defender design has been scooped online after a photo surfaced of the car’s digital dials with its design clearly visible in the centre. Published by Twitter user @landroverpa, the car’s design was previewed by the new model’s instrument cluster, which evidently show the car in the centre. The dials are otherwise clean, and appear to be configurable like other current Land Rover and Range Rover products. A British toy store also published an image of a Lego version of the new Defender, which is due to hit stores later this year. The Lego Defender differs little to the actual car, and features a similar frontal design to the DC100 concept car from 2011. Showing off a modern take on the iconic design, the all-new Defender appears to be much more stylish than the previous model, though still very practical by the looks of things. The Defender’s design appears to take much from the DC100 concept car. The square shape appears to have a rounded nose and big headlights for a more stylish and characterful front end, yet the flat rear with a full size spare wheel add to a more practical rear. The model previewed in the image is a four-door Defender that will reportedly be called the ‘110’, while the ’90’ two-door is also under development as official spy shots have shown. The latest leak of information follows an almost full interior reveal with a stylish but rugged interior with very little in the way of buttons for less confusion in off road driving. Land Rover also recently revealed some "official spy shots" of the car in Kenya, where the brand has joined lion conservation initiatives. Drivetrains for the new Defender are yet to be confirmed, though the DC100 concept cars featured 2.0-litre turbo-diesels with eight-speed automatic transmissions, and petrol options - and possibly the six-cylinder unit from Jaguar Land Rover’s ‘Ingenium’ engine family - will also feature as part of the range that will be sold in the US for the first time in two decades. Australian arrival details are yet to be confirmed. With the car expected to be fully revealed in the coming months, a 2020 arrival is likely.
