• Holden Barina 2017

It’s essentially a case of rebadging, but the 2017 Holden Barina does get a new pair of headlights along with a slightly modified grille and some other minor tweaks. All of the changes implemented are the work of GM’s Australia Design team to make the city car look “all grown up” and expand its appeal beyond the usual customer base consisting mostly of youngsters. Holden is confident the changes over the will make the Barina “turn heads in all the right ways,” although frankly that sounds like an exaggeration.

Go for the LT trim and Holden will replace the standard 16-inch wheels with a larger 17-inch set and it will also throw in several goodies, such as heated front seats, leather steering wheel, passive entry, push button start, and different upholstery. You might also like:.

Pricing kicks off at 14,990 AUD for the base LS version with the manual gearbox and rises to $20,390 for the automatic-equipped LT.
