The tested model of Holden Colorado was introduced in Australia and New Zealand in mid-2016. This ANCAP safety rating applies to all variants (all cab styles and drivelines) built from 4 July 2016.
The fold-up (jump) seats in the second row of the Space Cab lack seat belt reminders and upper anchorages for child restraints and therefore are not suitable for transporting children.
Note: Score reduces by 1.00 point for all single cab and space cab variants but they retain a 5 star ANCAP safety rating.
Safety Feature Summary
The safety feature information below is subject to change without notice. For up to date safety feature specifications for all variants, please see the safety feature table to the right or contact the manufacturer.
Dual frontal, side chest and side head-protecting airbags (curtains) and a driver knee airbag are standard. Advanced seat belt reminders are fitted to all fixed seats. Upper anchorages for child restraints are fitted to outboard rear seats of the Crew Cab.

The side impact test normally used by ANCAP simulates a small car striking the driver's door of the test vehicle. Experience shows that large vehicles like the Colorado can be expected to perform well in this test. ANCAP has adopted a policy of awarding these types of vehicles a default score of 16 points (out of 16).
The vehicle was eligible for a side pole test because it has side curtain airbags. The vehicle scored the maximum 2 points for head protection in this test.
