Holden has unveiled a range-topping variant of the Holden Colorado pick up truck, which will make its public debut at the Game 2 of State of Origin 2015.

The only interior changes are premium leather upholstery and front seat heaters. Other standard features include a rearview camera and a Mylink infotainment system with a seven-inch display.
