2012 Nissan Navara Vs 2013 Holden Colarado


Nissan Navara
VS
Holden Colorado

Welcome to the Nissan Navara vs 2013  Holden Colorado comparison.  The all new Holden Colorado has just been released in the country (June 2012) so we put up a quick specification comparison between the two models.  We are yet to drive three of the latest releases in 2012 namely the all new Ford Ranger and Mazda BT-50 and now this ute but like everyone interested to see what they compare like on paper.

Here is the comparison of the key specifications of the Navara and Colorado for the time being and will update the page as we get more details. We think that the Navara is a pretty large SUV/ute but the new Colorado is generally bigger. The extra size of the Colorado may be a disadvantage in many parts of the world including here but since we haven’t driven it yet can’t confirm anything.

So far everything looks good except for the 5 speed manual transmission which shows only reasonable development by General Motors. The low rent interior is a surprise given that the Colorado is an all new model. Other reviews are surprisingly honest in saying the the new Colorado still needs a bit more work to be competitive. When we checked it out at the dealer we agree too!
