Isuzu D-Max, Holden Colorado miss crash star
ANCAP chairman Lauchlan McIntosh said the D-Max four-star rating was an improvement on the old model.
ANCAP has expressed concerns at the Isuzu D-Max and Holden Colorado single-cab utility models only achieving four stars.
The dual cab version of the Colorado achieved five stars earlier this year and has been a prominent part of Holden's marketing for the vehicle.
ANCAP chairman Lauchlan McIntosh said the D-Max four-star rating was an improvement on the old model but five-star was becoming a main requirement for fleet and private buyers.
"The five-star safety rating of the Colorado crew cabs should be praised; however a four-star result for the single and space cab models is disappointing," he says.
"Like the single and space cab Colorados, the shared-platform D-Max also has only single pretensioners resulting in the four-star ANCAP safety rating," Mr McIntosh says.
