HSV’s Colorado SportsCat isn’t cheap
Pricing for the new HSV-tuned SportsCat dual-cab ute announced at more than $60,000Holden Special Vehicles’ first take on the Holden Colorado – and its first new vehicle in the post Aussie Commodore era – is the Holden Colorado SportsCat by HSV.
The dual-cab five-seat 4×4 ute is yours from $60,790 for the manual or $62,990 with an automatic transmission.
There’s also the HSportsCat+, pegged at $66,790 for the manual, which is more expensive than the V8-powered, 340kW HSV Maloo R8 SV Black.
With no more power than the regular Holden Colorado, the SportsCat makes do with the same 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine worth 147kW and 500Nm, or 440Nm if you take the six-speed manual in lieu of the six-speed auto.
Adding an automatic transmission increases the price by $2200.
What you get is a pumped-up look designed to make the Ford Ranger Wildtrak look puny in comparison, thanks to the HSV’s pumped wheel-arches, new grille, tailgate, hard tonneau cover and new wheels. AP Racing brakes and the option of SupaShock suspension are available on the SportsCat+ too.
HSV Managing Director, Tim Jackson, said the new SportsCat delivers “outstanding value” considering “…the breadth of styling, comfort and engineering enhancements…” made to the vehicle.
“Our two-tier product strategy provides buyers with the flexibility to choose the model that best suits their work and lifestyle requirements,” he added.
There has been talk of a full-blown HSV Wildfire, an even hotted version of the Colorado dual-cab ute developed by Walkinshaw. It could be powered by a twin-turbo petrol V6 and give the new Ford Ranger Raptor something to think about.
HSV says it already has “strong” levels of interest in the new SportsCat model which can be optioned with a range of extras, listed below.
