For the up and coming 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, GM has set the final price of the car and the full and final towing specs. The car is an efficient turbo diesel engine powered and will be launched by the end of the year to hit the international car arena with a storm.
The latest mid-sized diesel version will the only one in its particular segment and will face no competition as it starts its sales run by the end of 2016. The new Chevrolet Colorado is powered by a massive 2.8 litre turbocharged diesel engine with four cylinders and as it is expected from a vehicle of this calibre, this will churn out a maximum power of 181 horsepower with a peaking torque of 369 pound-feet. For a much smoother operation, it is laced with a balance shaft along with an anti-vibration damper and a common rail injection, direct. GM says that this is going to be the cleanest and a very powerful diesel engine. However, given all the amazing specs, the only factor determining the success of the vehicle in the respective market segment will be the comfort level it offers to the consumers but given the long list of good specs, it does looks like a sure shot winner.
On the rear drive models, Chevrolet will be rating the Duramax powered truck at up to a massive towing capacity of 7,700 pounds which is quite fascinating and unbelievable at the same time. However, the turbocharged diesel engine will only be made available with the crew cab models in LT or Z71. Chevrolet said that it will be priced a bit higher than the regular trims with a V6, with the difference in the price being 3.730 US dollars. Although, Chevy hasn’t given a final confirmation on the pricing list as of now but given the fact that the price has been already released for the 2016 Crew Cab Colorado with the base price amounting to USD 29,080 without including the diesel cost and add the destination cost of USD 895, the total price for the Colorado Duramax 2016 is somewhere around USD 33,705.
Also offered with an all-wheel drive, the turbodiesel Colorado trucks will be offering a maximum towing capacity of a whopping 76, 00 pounds which is among the best in the segment.
And how come a Chevrolet vehicle of this calibre won’t have a string of world class features? The added standard features on the latest 2016 Colorado are a six speed automatic transmission, hitch receiver that comes along with a trailering package, a trailer brake controller, a diesel exhaust brake system, a locking rear differential and what comes along with the all wheel drive models of the Colorado 2016 is the two speed transfer case which is going to be electrically controlled.
The Colorado family which adds Apple’s CarPlay application functionality in the 2016 Colorado vehicles, another second year addition is the turbodiesel engine.
However, we will very soon be driving the 2016 Colorado vehicle, so stay with us for further updates.
