MANILA, Philippines - The third quarter of the year brings yet another milestone from Chevrolet, and it comes in the form of its newest vehicle on offer, the all-new Chevy Colorado. The exclusive importer and distributor of Chevrolet automobiles and parts in the Philippines, The Covenant Car Company Inc. (TCCCI), has got all hands on deck introducing TCCCI’s first truck in the market, and its dealership in Cebu is no exception to this momentous event.
Led by Chevrolet Cebu’s President and CEO, Franklyn Ong, the dealership hosted a free concert at the Activity Center of Ayala Center Cebu in honor of the new Colorado, which was proudly set up on display while Cebu’s best classic rock band, Cuarenta, rocked the night away. Guests from the media, Chevrolet Cebu’s bank partners, as well as loyal supporters including mall-goers and interested buyers were present and were treated to a chance to win Chevrolet merchandise from answering questions on trivia they may have picked up on the Colorado throughout the event. Everyone in attendance was able to check out the Colorado on display for an up close and personal experience.
The whole Chevrolet Cebu came in prepared with all the bells and whistles for the Colorado offering. As Chevrolet Cebu’s President and CEO, Mr. Franklyn Ong expressed, “We, at Chevrolet Cebu, are confident with Chevrolet’s latest product offering, the all-new Chevrolet Colorado. This midsize pickup truck was built with a commitment to not just cater to the usual purposes of a regular pickup truck, but rather to provide its owner the dependability to do more and capability to be more. Plus, the Chevrolet Colorado is the first and only pickup truck in the market that is backed by a special 5-year warranty coverage. A testament to Chevrolet’s confidence in this product as well as proof that Chevrolet Philippines together with Chevrolet Cebu only aims to provide its customers a worry-free ownership experience.”
Chevrolet’s near century of trucking heritage has equipped this particular model with all the things that have worked throughout the years plus the latest technology in diesel engines: the Duramax engine that was specifically created to endure the harshest of driving conditions and was tested in the extreme environments of Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America. The Colorado presents high stance configuration (badged as Chevrolet Z71) offering high ground clearance to cross through rough terrains and wade through water depth up to 800 mm at 7 kph in cases of flood and passing through muddy areas.
The result is a winning combination of power, durability, capability, dependability, comfort, and economy. The Duramax diesel engine is available in 2.5 and 2.8 liter displacements. The 2.8L automatic variant produces 180 hp @ 3800rpm and 470 Nm @ 2000 rpm of torque, making it the best in its class. Each 2.8L Colorado is capable of carrying over 1 ton of payload (1,136 kg to be exact) and towing 3.5 tons without payload and using a braked trailer.
