New Holden SUV unveiled

The Trailblazer has been developed alongside the new-generation Colorado, with which it shares its architecture and underpinnings. With accommodation for up to seven passengers and third-row seating, a new 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine with a variable-geometry turbocharger powers Trailblazer.

"The Trailblazer show car is an impressive-looking vehicle, and it's pretty close to what customers will see when the Holden Colorado 7 arrives in Australia in 2013," Holden Executive Director Marketing, Sales and Aftersales John Elsworth says.

"It will have the fuel-efficiency and interior comfort of a modern family SUV, along with the towing ability of a working vehicle and the off-road capability of a true 4X4."

The Trailblazer was designed at GM's South American Design Centre in São Caetano do Sul, Brazil.
