GM Vietnam has shown its determination to gain market share in the increasingly attractive pickup truck segment by introducing a "full set" of 4 new generation Colorado versions.

According to calculations, the pickup truck segment in Vietnam in 2014 had a growth rate of 168% compared to 2013. This is a really attractive number for car manufacturers. However, with only one version before, Colorado was somewhat at a disadvantage in the competition compared to its rivals.

This time, the American car company brought back all existing versions of the new generation Chevrolet Colorado.

Of these, the only version equipped with an automatic transmission is the LTZ 2.8L. This is also the current highest-end version of the Colorado.

Colorado LTZ 2.8L AT uses a 2.8-liter Duramax turbocharged diesel engine, maximum capacity of 193 horsepower at 3,600 rpm, maximum torque of 500 Nm at 2,000 rpm. The transmission is a 6-speed automatic. The vehicle is equipped with a 4x4 2-wheel drive system, anti-lock braking system (ABS) and MyLink entertainment system.

Another version also uses a 2.8-liter Duramax turbodiesel engine, the LTZ 2.8L MT 4x4. The difference in this version is the 6-speed manual transmission, the maximum torque is 60 Nm lower although the maximum power is equivalent, the same level of 193 horsepower at the same rpm. The car is also equipped with ABS brakes and the MyLink entertainment system, but the functions are more limited.

The remaining two LT versions are both equipped with a 2.5-liter Duramax turbocharged diesel engine and a 6-speed manual transmission with a maximum capacity of 161 horsepower at 3,600 rpm and a maximum torque of 380 Nm at 2,000 rpm. One version uses a 4x4 2-wheel drive system and the other version uses a 4x2 1-wheel drive system.

LTZ versions have leather interior, automatic air conditioning, 6-way power driver's seat, dual screen, collision warning feature, power rearview mirror with integrated turn signal, LED taillights and lens headlights. LT versions have fabric interior, manual air conditioning, 4-speaker entertainment system, manual driver's seat, coded key.

The retail price applied by GM Vietnam for the LTZ 2.8L AT 4x4 version is 749 million VND, the LTZ 2.8L MT 4x4 version is 719 million VND, the LT 2.5L MT 4x4 version is 629 million VND and the LT 2.5L MT 4x2 version is 599 million VND.

GM Vietnam representative said that during the initial launch period, customers who place orders will enjoy a series of incentives such as 100% registration fee discount, increased physical insurance package or accessories... It is expected that from the end of March or the beginning of April 2015, the new Chevrolet Colorado will begin to be delivered to customers.
