I suzu Ute Australia has added two new 4x2 models to
its D-Max that are designed to help attract more trade
customers to the one-tonne ute range, which has now
expanded to 25 variants.
Priced from $34,300 plus on-road costs, the Space Cab Ute
is now available in SX trim with a 4x2 driveline, while a two-
wheel-drive SX Crew Cab Chassis is also now available, priced
from $36,100 plus on-roads.
Previously, the Space Cab and Crew Cab Chassis body styles
were offered only with a 4x4 drivetrain.
Both are available only with a five-speed automatic
transmission and combine with the familiar 3.0-litre four-
cylinder ‘4JJ1-TC Hi-Power’ turbo-diesel engine in service
across the range, producing 130kW of power at 3,600rpm and
380Nm of torque from 1,800-2,800rpm.
Holden’s related Colorado has also come in for some
attention with a limited edition LS-X model based on the LS 4x4
Crew Cab Pick Up reaching showrooms late in 2015.
Priced from $46,490 plus on-road costs for the manual
(or $48,690 for the auto) – $1,000 upstream from the donor
LS 4x4 – the X-rated edition adds a host of accessories
including 16" alloy wheels, front fog lamps, an alloy sports bar,
Colorado-branded smoked bonnet protector, carpet flooring
and LS-X decals.
Holden says customers save more than $1,000 by opting
for the special edition rather than purchasing the extras
individually.
The LS uses a 2.8-litre ‘Duramax 2’ diesel engine that
develops 147kW at 3,600rpm and either 440Nm (six-speed
manual) or 500Nm (six-speed auto), both at 2,000rpm
