Holden calls the to the LSX its “entry-level tough truck”, though the price point isn’t at the entry level compared some other dual cab four-wheel-drive utes out there.
The LSX 4x4 Crew Cab Pick-Up has a list price of $46,990 plus on-road costs for the manual version, while the LSX 4x4 Crew Cab Pick-Up automatic has a list price of $49,190 before on-roads.
The features list matches the lower-spec Colorado models, but you still get a 7.0-inch touchscreen with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a six-speaker stereo with Bluetooth phone and audio streaming. There’s a leather-wrapped steering wheel, USB charge point, cloth seats, manual air-conditioning and carpet flooring, and unlike some other utes, there’s a digital speedometer and a multi-feature trip computer, too.
Outside, you’ll find LED DRLs and halogen headlights, but the LSX does have some stylish touches that the LS can’t match, and that help it live up to that “tough truck” name. It has 18-inch alloy wheels (including a full size alloy spare) and what is essentially a black pack - I’ll fill you in on all those bits in the design section below.
