Holden Colorado Z71 2018 review: snapshot

EXPERT RATING
7
Sitting at the top of the Holden Colorado 2018 range is the Z71 model, which is only available as a dual-cab 4x4.

Sitting at the top of the Holden Colorado 2018 range is the Z71 model, which is only available as a dual-cab 4x4. Pricing for the Z71 manual is listed at $54,990, while the auto adds $2200 ($57,190).

The Z71 is the most outlandish model to look at, with grey painted 18-inch alloy wheels (including a full-size spare), a model-specific front fascia with integrated nudge bar, gloss black grille, 'sail plane' sports bar and side rails with Z71 graphics, model-specific soft tonneau cover, Z71 bonnet decals, black painted exterior door handles and exterior mirrors (not heated in this instance), black body side mouldings and roof rails. 

No need to option leather and heated seats here - they’re standard - and the interior has Z71 embroidery on the front headrests, too.

As with every model in the Colorado range, the Z71 is powered by a 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine with 147kW of power (at 3600rpm) and 440Nm of torque (from 1600-2800rpm) when equipped with the six-speed manual transmission. If you choose the six-speed automatic, the torque is bumped up to 500Nm (from 2000-2200rpm).

Towing capacity is 750 kilograms for un-braked trailers and 3500kg for braked trailers - and that applies to every version of the Colorado, which is impressive: many competitors can’t boast that, particularly about their entry-level utes
