HSV today released pricing for its all-new Colorado SportsCat 4x4 utility range.

Playing to HSV’s niche design and engineering capabilities, the Colorado SportsCat features a raft of styling and chassis enhancements that are set to position the vehicle as the most advanced sports 4x4 on the market.

The styling enhancements extend to unique grilles, fascias, fender flares, wheels, tailgate, hard tonneau and sports bar/sail plane, while the interior features premium SV Sports seats wrapped in Jasmine leather and Windsor suede.

Enhancements to the vehicle’s driving dynamics are just as significant and include the adoption of HSV Sports suspension, a rear de-coupling anti-roll bar, AP Racing brakes and the availability of SupaShock suspension on the range-topping SportsCat+. Forged 18” x 10” 6-spoke alloys wrapped in Cooper Sports All-terrain tyres, a wider track and extra ride height, combine to deliver an outstanding on and off-road package.

The SportsCat will launch with a Recommended Retail Price of $60,790 while the high-series SportsCat+, with its rugged styling and premium suspension and braking packages, will start from $66,790.

“Given the breadth of styling, comfort and engineering enhancements, we’re confident the SportsCat range represents outstanding value”, said HSV’s Managing Director, Tim Jackson. “Our two-tier product strategy provides buyers with the flexibility to choose the model that best suits their work and lifestyle requirements”, he said.

Production of the all-new Colorado SportsCat has recently commenced, with the company already reporting strong levels of enquiry.
