Holden’s newly developed Colorado Xtreme and the all new Acadia SUV will be making their mark at the upcoming Mystery Creek Fieldays.
The vehicles were unveiled at a pre-Fieldays media launch on Wednesday alongside Holden ambassador and former All Black Stephen “Beaver” Donald.
Holden New Zealand national marketing manager Marc Warr says the Colorado Xtreme received a huge amount of attention when it featured at the 2016 Fieldays.
This year’s model was based on a challenge to “replicate the appeal of the original”.
“We have incorporated a number of highly desirable accessories to create the Colorado Xtreme and anticipate there will be significant interest in the new model.
“The Xtreme is no longer just a show concept, it’s a fully functional real McCoy four-wheel drive and we expect people to put it to the test in a variety of day-to-day on and off-road situations,” Warr says.
With a starting price from $79,990 the Xtreme includes a winch bar and winch wire harness kit, 18-inch black alloy wheels with all-terrain tyres, a black sports bar, black side steps, rear step, soft tonneau cover, tow bar, Colorado decal on tailgate and the vehicle is topped off with a striking black roof tray.
Meanwhile, the all-new Acadia tops up the brand’s SUV range to five models alongside the Trax, Equinox, Captiva and Trailblazer.
The Acadia, a large executive styled seven-seat SUV, was shipped to New Zealand specially for the Fieldays event and will be available later in the year with pricing yet to be announced.
“Sourced from North America but with significant Holden involvement from the beginning of development, Acadia is a game-changer for Holden and the segment.
“Not only does it boast high-tech features like 360-degree camera, wireless phone charging, heated and cooled seats and the ability to park itself, it’s also great to drive and look the goods, too,” Warr says.
The Mystery Creek Fieldays takes place from June 13 to 16.
