HOLDEN added a limited edition Storm model to its Colorado line-up.

Despite its name, the Storm has landed on the market with minimal noise or disruption, and it adds but a few additions to the LTZ it’s based on – an integrated nudge bar, front seat heaters, leather upholstery and a bonnet protector.

The Storm nestles between the LTZ and Z71 in the Colorado line-up and is available in crew-cab form only.

Holden shifted 910 Colorados in September this year, giving it a 6.6 per cent share of the monthly 4x4 sales market.

On the year-to-date charts, 13,142 Colorados have left the showroom floor – a 2.0 per cent increase when compared to 2016 YTD results.

2018-Holden-Colorado-Storm.jpgSo far this year, the Colorado is the fourth best-selling vehicle on the 4x4 charts. It trails the Ford Ranger (28,026), Toyota Hilux (26,039) and Mitsubishi Triton (14,827).

Before on-road costs the Storm retails for $52,490 for the manual and $54,690 for the auto.

However, until October 31, the Colorado Storm – with either automatic or manual transmission – is currently available from only $51,990 driveaway.

The Colorado Storm comes with a seven-year warranty.
