According to GM, the new Rally Sport Truck package will drop the 6.2-liter V-8 found in the GMC Yukon Denali into the Tahoes engine compartment. With the additional 65 horsepower, the Tahoe will launch to 60 mph in less than 6 seconds. Still, such a speedy zero to sixty time wouldnt necessarily come from an additional 75 horsepower. However, if owners opt to further the vehicles performance, they can squeeze out an additional 10 horsepower by ordering an optional Borla exhaust system. Currently found in the Camaro ZL1, this high performance transmission allows for improved acceleration thanks to shorter gearing and will be a standard pairing with the 6.2-liter V-8 option.


as informed in Chevy also announced that the 2018 Chevrolet Suburban SUV will be offered in an RST edition. Chevrolet on Wednesday revealed the 2018 Chevrolet Tahoe RST (Rally Sport Truck) special edition, w ith a number of model-specific appearance upgrades and the option of the most powerful engine ever offered in the brands full-size SUV. Also included in the performance package is Magnetic Ride Control, another first for the Tahoe. The extra grunt arrives courtesy of a new performance package that includes a 6.2-liter V8 that delivers an estimated 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. A Chevrolet spokesperson told Edmunds that the 2018 Tahoe and Suburban will begin arriving at dealerships this fall, the Performance Package will be available this coming winter, and pricing will be announced closer to the on-sale date.

2018 Chevrolet Tahoe RST Special Edition Amps Up Attitude, Horsepower
as informed in

RST Special Edition Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban Offer Upgraded Sty le and Performance

To get it, one must first purchase the RST, which opens the gate for the Performance package, technically making it the Tahoe RST Performance package. It looks nice, but heres where things get interesting: An optional Performance package will be offered, but for the Tahoe only. Although GM isnt done putting the truck through its paces, at this point its comfortable quoting a 5.7-second zero-to-60-mph time; the tow rating for the Tahoe RST with the Performance package is 8400 pounds. But Suburban buyers cant get the Performance package (6.2-liter V-8, 10-speed automatic, Magnetic Ride Control dampers bundled together) from the factory as a package, no matter how much cash they wave around. The ongoing industry-wide effort to imbue bulky full-size SUVs with styling cues and driving dynamics that intrinsically belie their hefty, oversize stature gains momentum with Chevrolets announcement of RST packages for the Tahoe and the Suburban.

As it stated in Da redaçãoA Chevrolet passou a oferecer o Tracker com desconto de IPI para Pessoas com Deficiência (PcD). Graças à isenção fiscal, acrescida de um desconto de five%, o preço do veículo cai de R$ 85.890 para R$ 72.346, o que equivale a uma redução de 16%. Todavia, como o valor ainda supera a barreira dos R$ 70 mil, operating system compradores não ficam isentos de pagar o ICMS. Esse valor diz respeito à versão LT, que traz o mesmo conteúdo dos veículos destinados ao público geral, pois não há uma configuração específica para vendas em esquema PcD. A versão highest de linha first, que adiciona equipamentos como controles eletrônicos de tração e estabilidade, não está disponível para venda sem IPI para o público PcD.


PCD: Chevrolet Tracker para deficiente tem isenção de até R$ 16 mil

A Chevrolet decidiu entrar no filão de PCD (carros com desconto para pessoas com deficiência física) com o Tracker. Ainda assim, o desconto oferecido deixa o sport utility car compacto cerca de 16% mais em conta e, na comparação com o valor "cheio", até R$ 16 mil mais barato. A versão mais barata sai por R$ 72.346, enquanto a mais caro pode ser comprada por R$ 83.367. Em carros para PCD vendidos acima desse teto, caso como o de agora, do Tracker, apenas o pagamento do IPI é isento. Já a recém-lançada configuração de topo first, que agrega controles de tração e estabilidade pela primeira vez no utilitário esportivo, sai por R$ 80.670, em vez dos R$ 96.790 do catálogo tradicional (desconto de R$ 16.120).

PCD: Chevrolet Tracker para deficiente tem isenção de até R$ 16 mil

Com desconto de 16%, Chevrolet Tracker vira carro par a PCD

As it stated in Hyundai Creta, Nissan Kicks, Peugeot 2008, Renault Duster e Jeep Renegade são operating system sport utility cars compactos com versões específicas para PCD (pessoa com deficiência, até 2010 denominadas PNE â€" pessoas com necessidades especiais). O Chevrolet Tracker não possui uma configuração exclusiva, mas passa a ser vendido com isenção de imposto e desconto para este público. A condição oferecida é um desconto de 16% (isenção do IPI mais um desconto de five%) sobre o valor do Tracker LT, versão de entrada que custa R$ 85.890. Não há isenção de ICMS, pois o valor da versão foundation passa do limite de R$ 70.000. Com a isenção de ICMS e IPI o valor do desconto chega a quase 30%.

And would have made more had they allowed us to hang onto a Camaro ZL1 for the whole race weekend. It would be nice for Chevrolet if we could report the brand won the Daytona 500, but of course it didnt. But Chevrolets idea to give us a 2017 Camaro ZL1 to drive to Daytona Beach, Florida, made sense once the company added up the numbers: 650 for 500 to the 500. So the Daytona 500 ended with a Ford in front, followed by a Ford, and a Chevrolet (A.J. And speaking of next time: Saturday afternoon, Chevrolet surprised all of us on the trip when it unveiled the 2018 Camaro ZL1 with the 1LE package.

A New Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Is Still Coming, Heres What We Know
But tantalizingly, as we speak, GM engine dynos already are revving the latest and what should be the greatest small-block V-8 ever conceived. It remains a distinct possibility that the Z/28 could use a 750-ish-hp version of the supercharged pushrod small-block V-8 slated for the 2018 C7 Corvette ZR1. For months weve speculated that the car which bowed at Daytona would revive the Z/28 nameplate after a couple years hiatus. These engines eventually will power the Camaros and Corvettes of your dreams as well as the hottest Cadillacs in GMs arsenal. Breaking cleanly from Ed Coles 1950s brilliance, the coming LT6 and LT7 designs finally will dispense with pushrods and two-valve combustion chambers.

A tire-smoking, neck-snapping, kidney-squishing festival of high-performance geekery, Chevys new Camaro ZL1 is also the diametrically opposite bookend to the electric Bolts and Volts furthering Chevys alt-fuel push.

GM prepares for release of Chevrolet Bolt


GM prepares for release of Chevrolet Bolt
General Motors is planning its release of the Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicle, with a cost totalling $30,000 after tax breaks.This price will make it significantly cheaper than the average new U.S. vehicle and sets up a test of whether the technology can go mainstream in the United States.The least expensive Bolt will start at $37,495 before a $7,500 federal tax credit, meaning it would sell for $29,995, GM said.


2017 Chevrolet Bolt Projected Units Sold in One Year Could Reach 75,000, Analysts Predict


2017 Chevrolet Bolt Projected Units Sold in One Year Could Reach 75,000, Analysts Predict
The 2016 Chevrolet Bolt came out of the market late last year but since it was only made available in 11 states in the US, the American carmaker, General Motors (GM) decided to pull the electric vehicle out even before it gets officially released.Subsequently, GM decided to rename the model as 2017 Chevrolet Bolt.After making sure that its electric vehicle will be released to all of the 50 states of America, GM has set the official rollout date of the vehicle before the end of this year.


2017 Chevrolet Bolt Order Guide Confirms Lack of Adaptive Cruise Control


2017 Chevrolet Bolt Order Guide Confirms Lac   k of Adaptive Cruise Control
While we wait for the 2017 Chevrolet Bolt to roll into U.S. dealerships, the golden bowtie released the order guide for its newest electric vehicle, RPO codes and all.As expected, adaptive cruise control is nowhere to be found in the said order guide.This shortfall was half-confirmed in a ride along video in which a General Motors employee couldnt say if adaptive cruise control will be added in the model year 2018 or later in the Bolts lifecycle.

Now that the Chevrolet Bolt EV is ramping up for a nationwide release, its time to send Chevys previous electric car, the Spark EV, off to Electric Valhalla. The Bolt EV goes on sale throughout 2017, with a release schedule that sees certain states receiving models ahead of others. LG Chem supplies the batteries for both the Volt and Bolt EV, as well. The Bolt EV will take up the mantle, replacing the "compliance car" with something available in all 50 states. Those states require a certain percentage of zero-emissions vehicle sales, and the Spark EV helped bolster that.

Chevrolet ends production of the Spark EV now that the Bolt EV is out

Chevrolet is putting its electrified bets on the Bolt EV, as the company announced today that its ending producti on of the Spark EV, the compact car with a relatively meager 82 miles of electric range. The Spark EV was only sold in three states, and Chevrolet told Detroit News that it sold only around 7,400 of them in total since its introduction in 2013. Chevrolets Bolt EV is a much bigger bet on electric cars, but the companys decision to part ways with the Spark EV shows its not interested in keeping EVs around just for the sake of having some in the lineup. The decision to end production of the car likely has a lot to do with the Bolt EVs much more attractive options, which include 238 miles of EPA rated range. Watching Bolts performance will be big not only for the future of Chevrolets electric car program, but for those of all automakers, since all eyes are on Chevrolets first attempt at a long-range, affordable consumer electric mass market vehicle.

Chevrolet Cuts Spark EV from its Lineup
The Chevrolet Spark EV has been officially axed from the automakers lineup, ending a U.S. sales run that spanned over three years. The automaker has also removed the Spark EV from its consumer website, leaving the Bolt EV as Chevys only electric vehicle in its lineup. The 2016 Chevrolet Spark EV was rated at 140 hp and a whopping 400 lb-ft of torque driving the front wheels. When General Motors unveiled the Bolt EV back in 2015, the company said it didnt intend on cancelling the Spark EV, The Detroit News reports. With a 19- kWh lithium-ion battery pack, the Spark EV was EPA rated to travel approximately 82 miles in betw een charges.

New Kings Island Coaster Ride Vehicles Draw Inspiration from Classic Chevrolet Pickup TruckThe ride vehicles of Mystic Timbers, the newest roller coaster at Kings Island, appear to be based upon a classic Chevrolet C-10 truck modelIn just one month, Kings Island, a 364-acre amusement park located near Cincinnati, Ohio, will open for its 2017 season. Nevertheless, there are more than enough clues that point toward the ride vehicles drawing inspiration from the classic Chevrolet pickup truck. After all, the ride vehicles featured in Mystic Timbers are most likely based upon a classic Chevrolet C-10 pickup truck. To uncover the secret of Mystic Timbers, riders will simply have to board the Chevrolet-inspired trains and head into the shed when Mystic Timbers opens to the public on April 15. First of all, the ride vehicles for Mystic Timbers are obviously supposed to be based on pickup trucks.

The goal of having hydrogen as an alternative fuel widely available in Germany came a little closer recently when two new hydrogen fuel facilities were opened at filling stations in Frankfurt and Weisbaden, writes Brian Byrne.

In a scheme to which the German government has contributed €1.6m, this brings to 30 the number of such facilities in Germany. It is planned have a network of 400 such stations by 2023.

The programme is being implemented in a joint venture by H2 Mobility Deutschland and its partners Air Liquide, Daimler, Linde and Shell.

The hydrogen is used in fuel-cell powered cars, which emit no greenhouse gases and have electric mo tors using electricity produced by the FC system.

The new generation Porsche Cayenne was revealed yesterday, writes Brian Byrne.

With elements from its smaller Macan brother SUV, and a rear treatment with elements borrowed from the Panamera, its an overall evolutionary exercise for the model.

Theres a significant redesign in the drivers area, with a massive 12.3" screen hogging the centre dash.

New engines to the model will include a 340hp 3.0 V6 turbo and more power to the base engine.

Jaguar’s new E-PACE will arrive in Jaguar Land Rover showrooms in early December, writes Trish Whelan.

This is the newest member of Jaguar’s SUV family following the F-PACE, Jaguar’s performance SUV and Winner of World Car of the Year 2017.

JLR has announced a limited edition introductory launch price of €36,000 for the 2.0D i4 150hp manual model. This represents a €2,000 saving.

Jaguar Land Rover’s MD Gerard O’Farrell says the E-PACE provides the best of both wor lds: the brand’s sports car dynamics with compact SUV practicality.

This is a five-seat compact SUV that packs the design and performance of a Jaguar sports car into a spacious, practical and connected AWD vehicle. It takes its design inspiration from the F-TYPE sports car. 

The E-PACE and E-PACE R-Dynamic come with a choice of three diesel and two petrol engines. The 2.0 four-cylinder Ingenium diesel powerplant is available in 150/180 and 240hp outputs, while the pair of 2.0 four-cylinder Ingenium petrol turbo units deliver 249hp or 300hp. 

The 300hp Ingenium petrol turbo engine takes 6.4 seconds for the 0-100km/h sprint. The front-wheel drive 150hp diesel delivers C02 emissions of 125g/km and has annual road tax of €270.

The E- PACE comes with the latest safety and driver assistant technologies, and is the first Jaguar to feature the company’s next-generation Thin-Film Transistor Head-Up display technology.

It comes with the wearable Activity Key waterproof and shockproof wristband that allows the driver to lock the main key inside the car when enjoying outdoor pursuits like running or cycling. When the Activity Key is activated by holding the wristband up to the upper edge of the number plate surround on the tailgate, any conventional key fobs left inside the car are disabled.

2010-2015

The past few episodes we had focused on Toyota (including Lexus and Daihatsu), Nissan (plus Mitsubishi), and Honda. Now, our last of the series will now involve brands that arent part of larger automotive groups which includes Isuzu, Mazda, and Suzuki.

We did this series with Korean brands as a whole with vehicles not available in their home country. Before we start, current model line-up vehicles will be counted here and since Japan does not anymore dig pick-up trucks, they would not be listed here.


Isuzu MU-X

Based on the D-Max pickup, the MU-X is the only SUV offered by Isuzu and is only available so far in the following locales: Th ailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Australia, China, and India. In some markets, it wears the Chevrolet badge but this one is outsold by the Japanese counterpart.


Isuzu Panther

With the Philippines (sold as the Crosswind) discontinuing this model by the end of this year, you can only buy this MPV in Indonesia. In India, it is sold as the Chevrolet Tavera and squint hard to find the similarities of the two models.


Mazda CX-4

Only sold in China, the CX-4 is based on the CX-5 but the height is shorter than the CX-3 but engine and transmission options are shared with the former car. It seems that the Chinese are getting their market exclusive cars not meant for the rest of the world.


Mazda CX-9

Assembled in Japan but not sold in Japan, the CX-9 is the brands largest model available and the largest SUV in the line-up. The previous generation model utilized a Ford platform and a V6 engine but currently rides on a Mazda based underchassis and a turbocharge d engine.


Suzuki APV

Produced in Indonesia, this MPV rivals the likes of the Toyota Avanza and can be had in either 1.5 or 1.6 gasoline engines. Ever since its production in 2005, it has yet to receive a full model change. In Indonesia, it has numerous variants with varying levels of equipment.


Suzuki Celerio

This Indian built and developed hatchback which slots above the basic and utilitarian Alto hatchback in terms of price and feature content. The shocker is a 800cc diesel engine that is only sold in India, which is definitely a beast.


Suzuki Ciaz

Replacing the SX4 sedan in Asia and Latin America, the Ciaz can be had in either gasoline or diesel engines depending on the market.


Suzuki Ertiga

Utilizing the Swift chassis, the Ertiga is developed by its Japanese and Indian subsidiaries, this one competes with the Toyota Avanza and Honda Mobilio. Engine options include a gasoline, diesel, CNG (India), and diesel/hybrid (Indonesia).


Suzuki Swift Dzire

First existed in the late 00s, the Dzire is essentially the sedan version of the Swift sold in India and certain export markets. It is below 4,000mm, which automatically receives a tax break for sedans within a certain length. The Indian market ha s both diesel and gasoline variants, while we get the latter.
