2015 Holden Colorado vs Isuzu D-Max: 4x4 ute comparison (video) - PerformanceDrive

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to pick the right 4×4 ute for the right job these days, with carmakers getting more and more competitive with their packages. The 2015 Holden Colorado and 2015 Isuzu D-Max are two of the underdogs in the segment. Nonetheless, comparing the space cab and the double cab is actually quite interesting. The Isuzu is powered by a 3. 0-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder producing 130kW of power at 3600rpm, and 380Nm of torque available between 1800rpm and 2800rpm. This engine powered the previous Holden Colorado before a new 2. 8-litre turbo-diesel was introduced. The new unit produces 147kW of power at 3600rpm, and a much meatier but thinner spread 500Nm available at 2000rpm (440Nm for manual). From the engine, the Isuzu gets an AISIN five-speed auto while the Holden gets a newer six-speed auto. Both are equipped with part-time four-wheel drive and share a similar drive mode select system with low range, while the Holden gets a limited-slip differential at the rear. In terms of economy, the Holden, weighing in at 2016kg (tare), boasts an ADR-tested 8. 9L/100km average, while the lighter weight Isuzu (1940kg) consumes 8. 1L/100km. Source: performancedrive.com.au
