The fabric seats featured in both LS and LT models are more characterful over the LTZ’s leather trim, offering a diamond pattern finish with contrasting stitching, and prove comfortable over a long trip.

The LS+, LT, LTZ and LTZ-V all feature the same ‘Holden Eye’ safety camera with features including AEB, lane keeping assist and lane departure warning, but the lack of a radar camera means even top-spec variants miss out on adaptive cruise control. And the base LS misses out on the safety features altogether. But there’s also value in the LS range which starts from $29,990 with a six-speed automatic transmission, and a $2000 more affordable six-speed manual LS matches entry-level competitors but is unlikely to move many units.Īll-wheel drive isn’t available until the top-spec LTZ and LTZ-V models which add extra features such as 19-inch alloys, adaptive all-wheel drive and premium interior appointments such as heated electric leather seats, Bose audio system and wireless phone charging. The mid-range front-wheel drive LT is tipped to be the volume seller, priced at $36,990 (plus on-road costs) and comes with the 2.0-litre turbo engine. Powering the LS and LS+ exclusively is a smaller 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbo, however, it isn’t lacking for power either with 127kW and 275Nm on offer and a braked towing capacity of 1.5 tonne.Īvailable in either front or adaptive all-wheel drive, and boasting a host of new technology, the five-seat Equinox makes the outgoing Captiva feel archaic. The 2.0-litre powered models are also rated up to a class-leading two-tonne towing capacity. It’s the most power for money you can buy bar the new Toyota Camry V6 and comes mated exclusively to GM’s new nine-speed automatic transmission. Of the two petrol engines available on launch (a diesel is coming early next year), the higher capacity unit is a standout compared to its mid-size SUV peers a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged engine that produces 188kW and 353Nm of torque.

Sourced from GM’s US Chevrolet line-up, the Equinox isn’t the only recent car to enter Holden’s line-up from overseas with the brand bringing in cars such as the Astra hatchback and Spark city car while it was still putting together steel in Adelaide.Īnd like those cars, the Australian team has been involved in development of the third-generation Equinox from the start, including the undertaking of a comprehensive local tuning program to ensure the car better handles our climate and needs.

The medium size SUV will compete to win buyers in the market’s fastest growing segment, giving it every chance to pip sales of the imported next-gen Commodore. Holden is completing its transition to an import-only brand with the arrival of its first imported car since local manufacturing shutdown, the Equinox.
