Avalanche XUV utility. Holden Special Vehicles. List of Holden Special Vehicles. Universal Conquest Wiki. This page uses some content from Wikipedia. The original article was at HSV Avalanche. A lower seat base would make a lot of difference here, and would also help access into the seat itself. In the back seat there are no such dramas. This is a Commodore wagon, remember, with a wheelbase nearly three metres long and an overall lenth of more than five metres. Sprawling space in the rear and immense luggage space behind the seats — unless you option the third row kiddie seat.
In an HSV? You're kidding. You can feel it in all aspects of the driving. On the positive side this car is planted to the road. Weight, that wheelbase and all-wheel drive are co-conspirators here. All aided by heavy but accurate steering that puts most other cross-overs to shame. On the negative side, that weight retards acceleration and hits the hip pocket something fierce. The trip computer came up with a But this is a great cruiser as well as a pretty impressive bruiser. On broken and undulating bitumen Avalanche makes full use of its significant suspension travel and long wheelbase to provide a surprisingly good ride.
On dirt roads you can add the surety of four-wheel drive and a beautifully sorted brake and ABS system to the mix to make it a supremely confident cross-country conveyance. But the Avalanche is less comfortable as the off-road conditions get more severe and closed in.
This is not only a long and heavy car but also a wide one. Narrow bush tracks that Cross Trac and the ride height take in their stride become excruciating as tree limbs and brambles drag screechingly down the side of the car. Research carefully where you are going off-road or prepare for plenty of paint damage. And while Cross Trac stood up fine in these sandy conditions, kilometres of yumps exposed an unconquerable problem for this car — the age of the fundamental design base, which is a platfrom called W-car.
It is just about at the end of its life and it shows, lacking the sort of torsional rigidity required in these conditions. There were rattles, moans and groans, even the windows were flexing in their frames! The engineering that HSV puts into the Avalanche now is undoubtedly impressive, but that can only achieve so much.
This car is no sophisticate, but then, some crudeness has never hurt HSV. Indeed, that rough tactility is part of what makes it such a hit with Aussie performance car fans.
Overall, there's a lot to like about Avalanche.
