Chevrolet Colorado Flex Cab (Codename GMI700)
First cabstyle to be offered on showrooms since October 17th
World-premiered not anywhere in the world but in Thailand
Built with absolute dedication than ever before
Not just tough but "Chevy Truck" inside and out
Design just derived from the Prototype Truck
Loaded up with innovations and advantages like never before
Engine & Chassis: "Dedication & Brainstorm" the GM way
The "Duramax Diesel" trademark derived for Colorado in Thailand for the first time ever, with 2 choices
The XLD 2.8 4cyl 16V, and it's actually "Common-Rail Direct Injection" kind
With Absolute "Computer Calculations" for fuel spreading intelligence
Powerful with Turbo Intercooler and Variable Geometry Turbine
So it generates 180HP
Maximum Power: 132kw@3,800rpm Maximum Torque: 470nm@2,000rpm
Another one is an entry choice of course: The XLD 2.5 4cyl 16V right here in this unit
Don't misunderstand that it's the same 2.5 of Isuzu DDi
This generates 150HP
Maximum Power: 110kw@3,800rpm Maximum Torque: 350nm@2,000rpm
6-speed AT goes into action for the first time, also with "Shift Lock" and Manual mode
For "Selected few" models of course
Chassis & Suspension also all-new and improved
And here's officially called Comfort-Ride Suspension (CRS)
Front: Double Wishbone Rear: Steel Leaf Spring (half-ellipsoid shaped) & gas shocks
Both Z71 4x2 models currently using chassis with 7 cross members
And since because they're not LTZ, full feature of braking system may not included
Now let's enter the door of "Flex Cab" and see what this trademark really means
Yes! Rear Access System
Chevy truck in both USA and Thailand may built production truck with RAS so late
But at last, we cherish with what we can see here
Isn't it nice, when everything made just right to be in, with wider feel?
And here's interior of 2.5 LS
The 2nd-gen Colorado outside US truly brought more sense of "American Truck" to Thailand by all of its features of today
But still Thai people don't drive LHD
And like other 7 brands with pickups in Thailand, all GMI700 Colorado models participated:
"Cash Back for first time buyers" by Excise department of Thailand
Even though just 2 non-top models
It's already a great prove of the louder step of Chevy Truck on Thailand, with Chevrolet experience for 100 years on its long road
