It’s on sale in Australia and New Zealand September 2013 growing Holden’s SUV line up to 4 models.

The engine is the Holden Cruze 1.8 litre DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder petrol engine and is paired with a five speed manual transmission (LS only) to deliver fuel economy of 7.0 litres per 100 kilometers.

A Gen II six-speed automatic transmission with Active Select is standard on the LTZ and available as an option on the LS, delivering fuel consumption of 7.6 litres per 100 kilometers.
 
It is the only vehicle in its class to include a 240V electrical socket in the rear of the center console to charge items like laptops while on the road. All the engine and transmission calibrations for the TRAX were done in Australia by Holden’s own engineering team. A local suspension tune and electric power steering calibration should mean that Holden TRAX is at home on New Zealand’s roads.
