Welcome to the new Mitsubishi Triton Vs Holden Colorado comparison for 2015. We like the look of the Colorado now, as it is a good blend of American and Japanese. The Colorado is based on the Isuzu D-Max but with a GM family engine, while the Triton is designed and built for Mitsubishi, although we believe it will soon be used as a base for a French manufacturer probably Peugeot.
Mitsubishi Triton Vs Holden Colorado exterior: Once again each to their own here to which one you like the look of. However we have to point out the the Triton is more cohesive in terms of design where as the Colorado rear end is at odds with the front. Note that the Chevrolet Colorado version is a much, much better design and one that Holden should have used.
Mitsubishi Triton Vs Holden Colorado interior: The Triton has the better interior design presentation and quality. The Colorado design is simply too commercial or downmarket, that said the Colorado feels more spacious thanks to ‘thinner’ design elements. We can and you will easily understand why it doesn’t sell as many as the others.
Mitsubishi Triton Vs Holden Colorado technology: For 2015 the Triton has the latest engine and tech and so does the Holden, both featuring upgrade in car entertainment systems. Apart from that both offer the single powerful diesel engine across the range, although the manual Colorado has less power.
Mitsubishi Triton Vs Holden Colorado drive: N/A
It’s an easy win to the Triton purely based on price and specification. The Holden Colorado has rip off pricing for the 4WD dual cab, at over $47,000 in the road for the basic ute without any thing or specials. The Holden Colorado sits perfectly in the WTF price zone along with the VW Amarok. Our recommendation is simple avoid the Colorado until it is given realistic pricing and updated interior and equipment. We could not see ourselves buy the Colorado for the business or even privately. Easy win for the Triton.
