We also got information that it would probably share its design and mechanics with the Chevy Colorado truck.
Moreover, some images of the next-gen Holden Colorado were released last week, and as we can see, the upcoming truck looks much more handsome than before. In general, it shares the same design language with the Chevy Colorado that was introduced last month.

The next generation 2023 Holden Colorado looks much closer to the Chevrolet Colorado model. In general, it’s a very stylish truck and its aesthetic can change quite drastically depending on trim level. The base model will include a refreshed grille, more chrome materials, and new graphics on the LED headlights.
On top of that, the manufacture made some changes on the back as well, and the upcoming Colorado looks a bit sportier than before. It features more attractive taillights and several aesthetic changes. According to Holden, the size of the truck can change depending on options. All extended cab models are available with a long box, while the crew cab model comes with either a short or a long box.
Cabin Refreshments

In terms of tech, the new truck will include a standard updated infotainment system of 7-inch, Bluetooth, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay. Other features that will be available as well include air-conditioning, two USB ports, Teen Driver mode, and so on.
Powertrain Options

The price is not available yet, but from some prediction, it will be in the range between $32,000 and $36,000.
The Holden Colorado will be available only for the Australia market, and its design and mechanics are related to the Chevrolet Colorado model. Like before, the Holden Colorado will try to keep up with models in the same class such as the Toyota Hilux, Nissan Navara, and VW Amarok.
