Chevrolet Colorado pickup unveiled
07 Oct 2011|5,656 views
The Colorado was unveiled in production trim in Thailand, which will be the first country to receive the new pickup truck when it goes on sale later this year. The rest of Asia Pacific, the Middle East and South America will get the truck shortly after, while Australia will have the truck badged as a Holden.
Chevrolet will offer a total of 26 combinations of the Colorado pickup in Thailand, in terms of powertrains, cabins, and ride heights. These include single-, extended- and crew-cab bodies in high- and low-stance configurations, wide- and narrow-body options, as well as two- and four-wheel-drive configurations.
The Colorado will be powered by two new Duramax turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engines, in either 2.5-litre or 2.8-litre form. The 2.5-litre unit produces 150bhp and 350Nm of torque, while the 2.8-litre powerplant churns out 180bhp and 470Nm of torque with a six-speed automatic gearbox, and 440Nm when fitted with a five-speed manual transmission. Both engines will be produced at GM Thailand’s new $200 million engine plant.
Depending on the model, the new Colorado can be equipped with several safety features such as electronic stability control, anti-lock braking system featuring electronic brake force distribution, traction control, hydraulic brake assist, cornering brake control and driver and occupant front air bags.
“Our objective from the beginning of the program was ‘haul anything, go anywhere’ – and that’s exactly what the new Colorado delivers,” said Brad Merkel, GM’s Global Vehicle Line executive for Midsize Trucks. “We have engineered it to meet the needs and desires of commercial and personal buyers alike. It can be a workhorse, a family hauler, a lifestyle vehicle, or a truck that plays to the higher-end premium buyer.”
"That versatility is a big win for our customers. Regardless of configuration, they’re getting the features of a common frame and body structure, high-performing powertrains and outstanding refinement. There are no sacrifices in fundamental hardware or aesthetics, from a very basic two-door work truck all the way up to a premium crew cab." Merkel added.
