HOLDEN TRAX GETS TURBO BOOST


Top of the range Trax introduced with a sporty 1.4 litre turbocharged engine
Trax LTZ with 1.4 litre iTi engine includes sunroof, new 18 inch alloys, rain sensing
wipers and driver’s arm rest as standard
Holden Trax will cement its position as one of the best small SUVs on the road with the
introduction of the new top of the range 1.4 litre Turbo LTZ model.
The refined 1.4 litre turbocharged engine option is coupled with a 6-speed automatic
transmission with Active Select and a variety of new premium features that complement its
award winning technology and bold design.
The LTZ with the new 1.4 litre tubrocharged engine will sit above the already popular and
well performing 1.8 litre engine in the expanded Trax line-up, offering customers an option
that provides even greater levels of refinement and responsiveness. The new engine boasts
103kW of power and 200Nm of torque, with fuel economy of just 6.9 litres per 100
kilometres*.
Trax LTZ also benefits from an array of standard premium features, including rain sensing
wipers, a driver’s arm rest and new 18 inch alloy wheels. A sunroof also comes standard
with the 1.4 litre iTi option, further enhancing Trax’s reputation for providing outstanding
customer value.
These new additions join the long list of standard features already found across the entire
Trax range including a seven-inch touch-screen with MyLink embedded apps, rear view
camera and Bluetooth™ phone and audio streaming.
Teresa Basile, Holden’s General Manager Marketing Communications, said Holden was
committed to ensuring the fully-flexible Trax would continue to offer today’s drivers
everything they are looking for in a small SUV, from multiple seating configurations to
advanced technology features.
“In just 12 short months since its launch, Trax has established itself as a serious contender
in this ever popular segment and we are very pleased with the success it has achieved to
date,” said Ms Basile.
“Trax has received great traction in the market as well as plenty of positive reviews and we
are committed to building on that success to ensure Trax continues to evolve and respond to
customer needs.
“In 2014 Trax is currently Holden’s fourth highest selling vehicle and we’re confident that with
the introduction of the 1.4 turbocharged engine and new added extras, it will continue to
appeal to a broad customer base ensuring continued success.”
The affordable and fuel efficient 1.8 litre engine will remain available on Trax is matched with
a 5-speed manual or optional 6-speed automatic transmission, in both the LS and LTZ trim
levels.
Holden’s commitment to delivering excellent customer value extends beyond the purchase
of Trax, with the most transparent Capped Price Servicing offer in market. Trax owners
receive complete peace of mind knowing that each of the four regular services in the first
three years (or 60,000kms whichever comes first) will only cost $185^ – one of the lowest in
the small SUV segment.
On sale this month, Holden Trax is available in a wide range of exterior colour choices
including the introduction of Blaze Red.
