Holden Colorado scores five stars for safety

The latest round of ANCAP testing has seen five stars for safety awarded to the Holden Colorado utility vehicle. It scored an overall total of 34.89 out of 37. This score reduces by one point for Single cab and Space cab variants, although they do retain the 5-star rating.

The tested model was introduced in Australia and New Zealand in mid-2016 and the ANCAP safety rating applies to all variants (all cab styles and drivelines) built from 4 July 2016.

Dual frontal, side chest and side head-protecting airbags (curtains) and a driver knee airbag are standard. Advanced seatbelt reminders are fitted to all fixed seats. Upper anchorages for child restraints are fitted to outboard rear seats of the crew cab.

According to ANCAP, the fold-up (jump) seats in the second row of the Space Cab lack seatbelt reminders and upper anchorages for child restraints and therefore are not suitable for transporting children.
