Holden has announced pricing for the 2015 Trax, with the entry-level LS manual starting at $23,990 and the range topping out at $29,990 for the LTZ 1.4 automatic.
Holden has confirmed the pricing for the 2015 Trax compact SUV in Australia, with the entry-level LS manual starting at $23,990. The updated Trax range will be available to Australian buyers from 18 August 2015.
The base LS variant uses a 1.8-litre petrol engine and is available with either a five-speed manual or a six-speed automatic. The manual is listed at $23,990, while the automatic version is priced at $26,190. The LS specification includes a rearview camera, rear parking sensors, six airbags, Holden's MyLink infotainment system with a 7-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, USB connectivity, automatic headlights, a leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel and 16-inch alloy wheels as standard.
The LTZ trim, which sits at the top of the range, is available with either the 1.8-litre automatic for $28,490 or the 1.4-litre turbo automatic for $29,990. LTZ models add rain-sensing wipers, heated front seats, a driver’s armrest, trip computer, front fog lights and, on the 1.4-litre, a sunroof. All versions of the Trax come with a five-year/130,000 km warranty and three-year/60,000 km capped price servicing.
Trax in the compact SUV segment
With the 2015 Trax, Holden is targeting buyers seeking a compact SUV with a high equipment level at a relatively modest price. The starting price undercuts some rivals in the segment, such as the Mazda CX-5, which opened at $27,190 at the time, and the Skoda Yeti, which launched from $23,490. The Trax’s standard warranty and servicing package are also pitched to appeal to value-focused buyers.
- Mazda CX-5: from $27,190 AUD
- Skoda Yeti: from $23,490 AUD
- Hyundai Sonata (not a direct rival but similar price): from $29,990 AUD
The 2015 Trax’s combination of price, equipment and aftersales support positions it as a contender in Australia’s competitive small SUV market. Holden will be looking to maintain its share as buyers increasingly turn to compact crossovers.
