2017-holden-astra-sedan-04

Local pricing and specifications for the new 2017 Holden Astra sedan have been released this week, ahead of the new model’s arrival at the beginning of July.

Starting from $21,990 drive-away, the Astra sedan – known in other markets as the Chevrolet Cruze – is headlined by the standard fitment of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with turbocharged petrol power.

Four trim levels are offered; LS, LS+, LT and LTZ, all powered by the same 110kW/245Nm 1.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine shared with entry versions of the Astra hatch – which rides on similar underpinnings.

A six-speed manual is standard on the entry-level LS variant, while a six-speed automatic is standard on all other versions, and optional on the base LS.

Standard equipment on the LS (from $20,490 plus on-road costs) includes 16-inch alloy wheels, six airbags, rear-view camera, rear parking sensors, automatic headlights, a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and cruise control.

Next in the range is the LS+ (from $22,740 plus ORCs), which comes standard with the six-speed automatic transmission, features the Holden Eye forward-facing camera system – including lane keep assist, forward distance indicator and forward collision warning – along with projector headlights, LED daytime-running lights, a leather steering wheel, and automatic high beam.

The LT kicks off at $25,790 plus on-roads, and adds extras like 17-inch alloy wheels, blind spot monitoring, keyless entry and push-button start, automatic parking assistant, rain-sensing wipers, a larger 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with native satellite navigation, DAB+ digital radio, heated mirrors, illuminated vanity mirrors, rear lip spoiler and remote start.

Finally, the flagship LTZ ($29,790 plus ORCs) gets 18-inch alloy wheels, a powered sunroof, leather-appointed seat trim, single-zone climate control, heated front seats and chrome exterior highlights.

Seven exterior colours are available, including five prestige options which command a $550 premium.

The Astra sedan range also comes with a lifetime capped-price servicing program – which totals $916 for the first three years or 60,000km of ownership.

Compared to the Euro-sourced hatch range, which starts at $21,490 plus on-road costs for the R manual, the Astra sedan is between $1000 and $2000 cheaper than its hatch-backed equivalent depending on variant. All versions bar the flagship LTZ feature sharp drive-away offers too.

Stay tuned for our first local review, closer to the Astra sedan’s July 1 arrival.

Teacher accused of using rented Toyota Supra for land-speed record attempt

A high-school teacher in the US could be more than $6000 out of pocket if he is found to have violated the terms of use of a rented Toyota Supra driven to a top speed record. A US high school teacher is facing legal action – and $US4000 ($AU6000) in costs – after being accused of renting a turbocharged Toyota Supra performance coupe from a car-sharing service and used the vehicle in a racing competition without the owner’s knowledge. The high-school teacher from Indiana – and his team of female mechanic students – were on their way to compete in the 2023 U.S. Mile land-speed trials in Texas last month. The girls and their teacher had built a high-performance Chevrolet S10 pick-up for the ‘Texas Mile’ – a competition which sees vehicles try to achieve the highest possible speed from a standing start within one-mile (1.6km) on a runway. However, the 1997 Chevrolet S-10 ute suffered a mechanical failure on the way to the event. Due to the hard work put in to make the 1800km j...

2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport imagined with this artist impression

Gambar
The new flagship of the Toyota HiLux range was caught on camera in Thailand late last year wearing little disguise. Now we have created an artist impression of what it could look like. Last month we got our first look at a camouflaged version of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport , the flagship ute set to replace the range-topping Toyota HiLux Rugged X in Australian showrooms later this year. Now we have an artist impression of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport (pictured above) that aims to remove some of the camouflage of the test vehicle caught on camera in Thailand mid-December 2022. As previously reported, although other versions of the Toyota HiLux GR Sport have been launched in Europe, South Africa and Japan over the past year or so, the 2023 edition appears to be the most aggressive yet. The latest Toyota HiLux GR Sport is set to come to Australia for the first time, though timing of the international unveiling and showroom arrivals are yet to be announced. A series ...

The LDV T60 has been hit with its second major price rise in 12 months to account for new equipment – but the ute still lacks key advanced safety tech. 2023 LDV T60 Max pricing and specifications New equipment for Pro and Luxe grades Only top 10 dual-cab ute without auto emergency braking Priced from $38,990 drive-away for ABN holders 2023 LDV T60 Max Luxe The updated 2023 LDV T60 Max has arrived in Australia with a $4000 price rise and some equipment upgrades – but it still lacks advanced safety technology which is standard in its rivals. LDV Australia has announced the T60 Max 4×4 ute has undergone a handful of tweaks for 2023 after its major facelift (and $5000 price hike) last year – resulting in a price increase of $4000 across the range for buyers with an ABN. But Australia’s ninth best-selling ute continues to forgo advanced safety tech such as forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring and autonomous emergency braking – making the T60 the the only du...
