Super TestCar reviews - Holden - Barina - 3-dr hatchHolden modelsWhat's Changed9 May 2001 YOU could be forgiven for thinking the new Barina is simply a makeover of the old: the styling changes are that subtle. Really, only the tail-lights running up the rear pillars are the giveaways. The rest could be the Barina of old. But of course, it's not. This is an all-new car, longer, wider and taller, with significantly more interior room, improved interior presentation and driving dynamics. Shoulder width is extended by 80mm in the three-door and 75mm in the five-door. Front seat occupants have 15mm more headroom. Legroom in the rear is stretched a further 6mm. Specification levels have altered substantially, with uncommon features such as steering wheel-mounted controls and anti-whiplash front head restraints introduced across the range. Did you know?Barina has a wider track (1417mm front, 1408mm rear) and a longer wheelbase, the latter extended 48mm to 2491mmAll car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen |
