Holden’s new super-truck concept, the Colorado ROX, was awarded the ‘Best Outdoor Site’ trophy at the annual CRC Speedshow in Auckland over the weekend.

“We were thrilled with the crowd’s response to the Colorado ROX and winning the award was the cherry on top of a very successful weekend,” Holden NZ national marketing manager Marc Warr says.
“I lost count of how many selfies were snapped and how many people clambered in and out of the impressively high cabin.”
Standout features of the ROX, which received special praise from showgoers, were the massive 35-inch tyres, body-hugging sports seats throughout the vehicle, the imposing six-inch body and suspension lift, rear deck cargo system and 500mm tray extender.
The appearance of Colorado ROX at Speedshow followed Holden’s official announcement that it will be bringing the new 2020 model year Corvette into New Zealand.

“News of the new Corvette has captured the attention of performance car enthusiasts the world over, none more so than here in New Zealand,” Warr says.
“We’ll be in a position to release further details in due course, but at the moment all we can confirm is that it will be available as a factory-produced right hand drive and will produce 369 kW from the 6.2-litre V8 engine.
“Our dealers have reported strong and immediate interest and there was plenty of positive comment at the show itself over the weekend – we simply can’t wait to get the first new Corvette into New Zealand.”
