MANILA, Philippines – Real drivers know what works. With the volume of traffic on the city streets and the constant challenge out on the open roads, motorists know that a combination of power, fuel efficiency, and reduced emission is essential in any pleasurable driving experience.
Chevrolet Philippines has the answer by offering a balance between engine responsiveness, effective fuel consumption, and eco-friendly features with its line-up of CRDi Turbo-Diesel powered vehicles. With the Spin, Cruze, Colorado, and Trailblazer, Chevrolet presents a Turbo-Diesel Powerhouse Team built to provide the best overall on road experience.
Overall efficiency
Dealing with city traffic, more often than not, is a stressful ordeal. Being behind the wheel of a vehicle that has the right tools is the only way to ease the torturous urban jungle traverse. Equipped with the state-of-the-art CRDi Turbo-Diesel engine, the Chevrolet Spin and the Chevrolet Cruze gets the job done with comfort and ease.
The 7-seater All-around Utility Vehicle Chevrolet Spin is considered to be the first in the compact AUV segment to offer a 1.3-liter turbo-diesel engine. With it, the Spin delivers economical fuel consumption cost without compromising power and acceleration. The model’s diesel variant, which comes in LS and LTZ trims, produces 190Nm of torque at 1,750RPM all while keeping fuel consumption up to 23 km/L*.
The Chevrolet Cruze Diesel, on the other hand, is the brand’s compact car that produces V6 performance with the efficiency of a four-cylinder engine. Apart from its impressive 1.8-liter, 16-valve DOHC gasoline engine, the Cruze comes in a 2.0-liter CRDi Turbocharged Diesel engine variant which produces instantaneous response and fuel efficiency. The Cruze’s turbo-diesel model is fitted with a 6-speed automatic transmission with manual mode and can go for up to 20 km/L** on a standard highway test. On top of that, the Cruze’s engine produces reduced road noise and vibration because of its ‘isolated’ mounting, making for an even more comfortable and relaxing ride.
Packs a powerful punch
After breaking loose of the city’s traffic knot, it’s time to hit the open road on the way to some of the country’s scenic destinations. Of course, travelling always has its fair share of challenges, like negotiating the sharp uphill turns of the Sierra Madre or trudging up the mountainous terrain of the Cordilleras. Both pose hardly any challenge for the outstanding power and torque produced by the Chevrolet Colorado and the Chevrolet Trailblazer.
Equipped with the new and improved Duramax Diesel engine, the Colorado and the Trailblazer are a cut above their respective segments. With an enhanced 2.5-liter engine capable of producing 163HP at 3,600RPM and 380Nm of torque at 2,000RPM and a new 2.8-liter engine offering 11 percent more power with 200HP at 3,600RPM, 6 percent more torque with 500 Nm at 2,000RPM, the Colorado and the Trailblazer leads their respective packs by a mile. On top of that, both engines consume 4.3% less fuel*** providing drivers with more flexibility and less guilt when flooring that gas pedal.
For gear heads craving for more power and speed, both the pick-up Colorado and the mid-sized sport utility vehicle Trailblazer feature an upgraded powertrain offering the new 6-Speed Manual Transmission and retuned 6-Speed Automatic Transmission variants that promote better power delivery and fuel consumption. The improved Colorado and Trailblazer comes with a special warranty that covers the vehicle for 3 years plus a 2-year extended warranty for the powertrain or 100,000 kilometers whichever comes first**** providing customers with a worry-free ownership experience.
