2015 Chevrolet Colorado Release Date - There were as soon as 11 compact vans marketed from the U.S. As of 2014, that amount is down to two. Every one of the though, we have viewed international pickups that we won't get inside the U.S
: the Volkswagen Amarok, world wide Ford Ranger, and global Colorado becoming merely a few of your standouts. Nevertheless, that is definitely quickly heading to vary, as Chevrolet is bringing a variation of its world-wide Colorado for the United states of America and Canada for your 2015 model.
The truck will occur as an prolonged cab or crew taxi, by using a 6-foot mattress at the rear of the extended taxi plus a alternative of 5- or 6-foot bed driving the crew taxi. And for people who lament the loss of the regular-cab product, we hear there'll be described as a rear-seat delete possibility about the prolonged cab. Trim ranges will be the WT, LT, and Z71, with RWD or 4 wheel drive with a rear locker. Inside the past, the Z71 had been a suspension package deal readily available with a number of trims; for 2015, it will likely be its very own design. As with the Silverado, the doors are inlaid and triple-sealed. 6 airbags as well as a rearview camera will probably be typical, and forward collision inform will be accessible. Z71s will include StabiliTrak, trailer sway manage, hill start aid, and hill descent manage.
At launch, there will be two engines powering the
Colorado -- a two.5-liter I-4, with an believed 193 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque, as well as a three.6-liter V-6, by having an estimated 302 hp and 270 lb-ft. We have now noticed these engines in other GM merchandise (Impala, Malibu, Equinox), but they are actually re-tuned right here for truck purposes, with far more bottom-end torque. Both equally have direct injection and variable valve timing, and each will probably be backed by a six-speed automatic. Chevrolet has not declared fuel economy estimates still, although the truck will use active aero grille shutters, which is able to aid enhance mpg quantities.
There'll be described as a 3rd motor added into the solutions list for the 2016 design : a 2.8-liter Duramax I-4. Chevrolet has not introduced electrical power quantities for this nevertheless, but in the global truck, it makes 197 hp and 369 lb-ft. Nonetheless, it's probable that the diesel's hp and torque will be a little reduce listed here, as emissions necessities are harder in the U.S. than from the relaxation with the earth and use of after treatment can lower electric power. That torque amount is only slightly reduced than that of GM's new EcoTec3 5.3-liter V-8, although likely featuring considerably greater gasoline economic system. The engineers at Chevrolet also told us which the American-market model of the engine is going to be substantially quieter than the world device. It is going to use Diesel Exhaust Fluid, with its refill level at the rear of the fuel doorway. Until among the other suppliers pulls off an enormous surprise while in the future year, the Colorado will be the to start with midsize truck marketed from the U.S. using a diesel motor.
Good is news is, this car will be sold with price $19,000-$32,000 and will hit US market in Fall 2014.
