Holden claims its Trax small SUV will offer best-in-class technology and outstanding fuel economy when it goes on sale across Australia next month.
Growing the brand’s SUV line up to four models, Trax will be offered in two trim levels, the LS and LTZ, ranging in price from $23,490 to $27,990.
Trax will feature as standard a seven-inch touch-screen with MyLink embedded apps, rear view camera, rear parking sensors, six airbags and Bluetooth phone and audio streaming.
Power comes from the same 1.8 litre DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder petrol engine used in the Cruze and is paired with a five-speed manual transmission (LS only) to deliver fuel economy of 7.0 litres per 100 kilometres.
A six-speed auto is standard on the LTZ and available as an option on the LS, delivering fuel consumption of 7.6 litres per 100 kilometres.
Holden executive director, sales and marketing, Philip Brook says that Trax was arriving in Australia at the right time to make the most of accelerating interest in small SUVs.
“The SUV segment continues to grow rapidly with small SUV sales growing 20% this year.
“Trax offers a great package at an exceptional price point and we believe it will pose an immediate challenge to established models when it arrives in Holden dealerships in September.
“We’ve included a standard rear view camera and rear parking sensors across the range. Our MyLink system offers access to the widest range of apps currently available in an Australian vehicle, including BringGo, an exceptional low-cost navigation option with functions that include GooglePlaces search.” says Brook.
In addition to the rear view camera and rear parking sensors, Holden Trax LS also features 16-inch alloy wheels, leather steering wheel with audio controls, Bluetooth, cruise control and auto headlamps.
Trax LTZ adds 18-inch alloy wheels, Sportec seats, heated front seats, fog lamps, under passenger seat storage tray and trip computer. Trax LTZ is offered standard with the six-speed automatic transmission for a retail price of $27,990.
All engine and transmission calibrations for Holden Trax were completed locally by the engineering team at Holden’s Lang Lang proving ground. Additionally, a local suspension tune and electric power steering calibration ensures Holden Trax is suited to Australian roads.
