New baby Holden SUV emerges

Holden could make Trax in Australia with Chevrolet’s all-new compact SUV

Chevrolet has revealed its iteration of General Motors’ all-new global compact SUV, which was previewed previously by the Buick Encore and Opel Mokka concepts, providing the best look yet at the version Holden is expected to release wearing Lion badges in Australia.

Now confirmed to make its world premiere at the Paris Motor Show in September before going on sale across Europe in the first half of next year, the Chevrolet Trax is essentially a revised version of the Encore that debuted at this year’s Detroit show and the Mokka that made its global debut at Geneva in March.

Opel will be launched as a separate sister brand to Holden in Australia in August and Opel Australia has all but confirmed the Mokka is odds-on to join the local Opel line-up here by the end of next year.

The Trax will debut in Paris alongside Opel’s all-new premium city-car, the Adam, which is also expected to eventually join this year’s Opel launch range comprising the Corsa, Astra and Insignia.

Similarly, Holden said the Encore was under consideration for Australian release when it was revealed in January, and has now reiterated its enthusiasm for the all-new city-crossover following the reveal of the Chevrolet version, which GM has now announced will be sold in more than 140 countries.

Revealed in a single image overnight, the Trax is essentially a rebadged version of the Encore and Mokka, featuring new headlights and a different front bumper punctuated by a Chevrolet grille and bow-tie logo.

GM Holden spokesperson Kate Lonsdale would not be drawn on which version Holden would potentially release here, but the Chevrolet version is more likely than the Buick – an upmarket US brand that is also GM’s biggest brand in China – given Chevrolet’s similar brand position to Holden.

“We’ve got no comment to make on Trax at the moment, but it’s something we’ll consider very carefully,” she said, adding that Holden’s next new SUV would be the seven-seat Colorado 7 wagon due on sale here early next year. The latter is based on Holden’s all-new Colorado ute, which is due in showrooms next month.

“It’s a pretty exciting product and it’s part of a growing market segment, but we’re really focussing on the Captiva5 and Captiva7, and the upcoming Colorado7.”

Chevrolet said the five-seat Trax will go on sale following the release of the mid-size Malibu sedan and five-door Cruze wagon, both of which are also due in Holden showrooms within 12 months.

“Trax provides Chevrolet an entry into a growing small SUV segment and delivers the flexibility, great fuel economy and car-like handling that urban explorers require,” said Susan Docherty, President and Managing Director of Chevrolet Europe.

Chevrolet has released no new details, but said the Trax would offer class-leading cargo space, room for five adults and an interior “executed to standards usually found in more expensive vehicles”.

If the Mokka is any guide, the Trax will also boast up to 1372 litres of loading space, and up to 19 storage locations. Also available will be Opel's integrated rear Flex-Fix bicycle carrier Flex-Fix, which can accommodate up to three bicycles.

Like the Encore and Mokka, the Trax is based on the same new compact platform that underpins Holden’s new Barina and should therefore be offered with the same engine line-up, including 1.6-litre naturally aspirated petrol, 1.4-litre turbo-petrol and 1.7-litre turbodiesel engines matched with six-speed manual and automatic transmissions. All manual versions of the Mokka will be equipped with a fuel-saving idle-stop system.

Like the circa-$25,000 models with which it will compete – including the Mitsubishi ASX, Nissan Dualis and Skoda Yeti, the Trax should become available in both price-leading front-wheel drive and more expensive all-wheel drive configurations.

If sold here, the Trax would also compete with Ford’s upcoming EcoSport sub-compact crossover, which is due here in the second half of next year and will also undercut traditional compact SUV top-sellers like the Toyota RAV4, Nissan X-Trail and Subaru Forester in terms of both size and price.

The Mokka, meantime, would be priced and equipped to compete with high-end versions of existing compact SUV models including Volkswagen’s Tiguan and perhaps premium small crossovers like BMW’s X1 and the Audi Q3.

As we’ve reported, the Mokka will be available – at least in Europe – with a range of top-shelf technologies, some of which may also filter across to its Holden, Chevrolet and Buick siblings.

They include driver assistance systems based on the Opel Eye front camera system, in which the driver can access several functions including Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Traffic Sign Recognition, plus Advanced Adaptive Forward Lighting (AFL+) – a bi-Xenon lighting system that includes High Beam Assist (HBA).

The 4.28-metre Mokka will come with electronic stability and traction control, as well as Hill Start Assist, Hill Descent Control and 18-inch alloy wheels.

The new Trax is not to be confused with the last Chevrolet that emerged with the same name – the Barina Spark-previewing Trax concept that debuted at the 2007 New York show.

Nissan begins Almera countdown

Sedan sibling for Nissan’s Micra touches down as Nissan Australia prepares for Almera release

Nissan has commenced the countdown to the Australian release of its all-new Almera city sedan in August by staging a media preview of the Micra-based four-door today in Sydney.

No new information was revealed for the Almera , which made its global debut at the China International Automobile Exhibition in 2010 and will be the second of eight new or additional Nissan models to arrive Down Under within the next two years.

However, new Nissan Australia CEO Bill Peffer told motoring.com.au prior to the Sydney reveal that the Almera would play a small but significant role in the brand’s model portfolio, as the first of three new sedan offerings to be launched here by the end of next year.

Mr Peffer said the Almera sedan will be a key new model in Australia’s relatively small light-sized sedan segment, which accounts for only around 10 per cent of the total light-car games market.

“We’ll get out fair share – it will be double-digit (percentage) figures,” he said. “We haven’t played in that segment before, so it’s a big opportunity for Nissan. Almera will be a good complement to Micra.”

Last year Nissan sold more than 9500 Micras (up 14 per cent on 2010 figures) for a 7.3 per cent share of the light segment, making it Australia’s sixth best selling light-car behind the Mazda2 (13.5 per cent), Toyota Yaris (12.5 per cent), Suzuki Swift and Ford Fiesta (both 9.5 per cent) and Hyundai’s now-discontinued Getz (8.8 per cent).

The Almera will join only a handful of other sedans in the light segment, including the Yaris, Barina, Fiesta, Honda City, Hyundai Accent, Kia Rio and Proton S16.

Mr Peffer described the Almera’s arrival as the beginning of a “sedan renaissance” for Nissan, which will release two further four-door models next year - the small Pulsar (sedan and hatch) to replace the slow-selling Tiida in January and the large sedan-only Altima to succeed the Maxima.

“Almera won’t be our biggest selling sedan. By the end of next year Nissan will have three bona-fide new sedan offerings in the B, C and D segments,” he said.

The Almera is known as the Sunny in some markets and the Versa in North America. Confusingly, Almera was also the European export-market name applied to the previous Pulsar, which was replaced by the Tiida here in 2006.

Nissan says value for money, attractive exterior design and exceptional interior space will be key features of its all-new entry-level sedan, which will be produced in Thailand.

To be preceded by the Australian launch of the all-electric LEAF hatch in June, the Almera will play a key role in Nissan’s ambition to replace Mazda as Australia’s top-selling full-line importer.

“With Pulsar sedan and hatch and the all-new Altima set to reach Australia in 2013, Nissan is strengthening its passenger car range as we seek to reach our target of becoming the number one importer in the Australian car market,” said Mr Peffer, who replaced Dan Thompson as Nissan Australia CEO on April 1.

The Almera’s August release will be followed by the launch of the redesigned Patrol SUV in December, the Pulsar in January and the Altima in late 2013. Apart from introducing its Infiniti premium brand here in August, by the end of next year Nissan will also launch replacements for its volume-selling X-TRAIL compact SUV, Pathfinder medium SUV and Navara ute models.

The Almera is based on the new ‘V’ (for versatile) global front-drive compact platform developed by Nissan and its industrial ally Renault. The first V model to appear was the fourth-generation ‘K13’ Micra launched here in December last year.

Nissan is yet to announce Almera pricing, which may or may not represent a premium over the five-door Micra, but it is likely the sedan will be positioned as a more upmarket four-door alternative to the Micra by offering more standard equipment.

While the Almera’s interior resembles that of the Micra’s, it comes wrapped in a much larger and more conservative body design.

Overseas versions of the Almera, which rides on a 2535mm wheelbase, measure 4495mm long, 1695mm wide and 1445mm high. The Micra, meantime, rides on a shorter 2435mm wheelbase and measures 3780mm long, 1665mm wide and 1525mm high.

It remains to be seen which engines will be available in Australia’s Almera, but it is unlikely the entry-level Micra’s 1.2-litre mill will be offered in the more upmarket sedan, which should be made available here with either the Micra’s larger 1.5 or the 1.6-litre engine it employs in some overseas markets.
