2017 Chevrolet Camaro Performance

What are the engine options on the 2017 Chevy Camaro?

The Chevrolet Camaro is essentially synonymous with performance. This powerful muscle car cuts an iconic profile, while still embracing modern sensibilities. The Camaro has been used for racing since its earliest generations. It has been the Indianapolis 500 pace car 8 times since 1967 and is often used by drag racers. While you may not want to race your 2017 Chevrolet Camaro, it is important to know how your new vehicle will perform.

The 2017 Chevy Camaro offers three different engine options. The standard 2.0L 4-Cylinder turbo engine provides plenty of power, with 275 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. Of your other options, the most powerful is the 6.2L V8 engine. You’ll have a lot of power on your hands with 455 horsepower and 455 pound-feet of torque. Last but not least is the 3.6L V6 engine. This engine is no slouch with 335 horsepower and 284 pound-feet of torque.

2017 Chevrolet Camaro options

Power isn’t the only thing that the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro has going for it. The three powerful engines are coupled with your choice of manual or automatic transmission. On the 3.6L V6, the 8-speed automatic has the fuel-saving Active Fuel Technology that provides a fuel consumptions rating of 8.0L/100 km on the highway. The 6.2L V8 with the automatic transmission also has Active Fuel Management technology, as well as Direct Injection and Variable Valve Timing, and an impressive 8.7L/100 km highway fuel consumption rating.

The 2017 Chevrolet Camaro is also a fast car. No matter if you choose automatic or manual, you’ll be breezing past with 0 to 96 km/h speeds of 5.4 manual and 5.5 automatic on the 2.0L engine, 5.2 seconds manual and 5.1 seconds automatic on the 3.6 V6, and a freakishly fast 4.3 seconds manual and 4 seconds flat automatic from the 6.2L V8.  Learn more about the other features of the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro at Craig Dunn Motor City, and schedule a test drive.

Trailering Camera System

Visibility can be one of the major challenges when towing, but the new Trailering Camera system from Chevy and Ecomaster means that drivers can be even safer no matter the load. This towing package features three cameras which are integrated into the side mirrors and the rear of the customer’s trailer. Each camera feeds into the cockpit screen display so that drivers have a greatly expanded view of their environment. An optional fourth camera can be attached inside the trailer to offer drivers a live view of horses, livestock, or fragile cargo. A camera oriented to watch the truck bed and assist with fifth-wheel connecting should be available later this summer. Click on the images below to see close-ups of various parts of the camera system.

Compare the 2017 and 2018 Chevy Equinox

2017 Chevy Equinox vs 2018 Chevy Equinox

2017 Chevy Equinox vs 2018 Chevy Equinox

We’ve already written a little about the 2018 Chevy Equinox and its likely release date here in Manitoba. But what new features and capability can we look forward to in this excellent compact crossover? Turns out there are quite a few changes! Check out our 2017 Chevy Equinox vs 2018 Chevy Equinox comparison highlights below.

New Appearance on the 2018 Chevy Equinox

The 2018 Chevy Equinox has several new visual touches that differentiate it from the 2017 model. All models now features chrome trim, and projector-beam headlamps are standard. Other new features like a low windshield base, available denim-style upholstery material, and a new kneeling rear seat (which folds flat to offer up to 1,798 litres of easy-loading cargo space) meet high standard for both form and function.

2017 vs 2018 Chevy Equinox Powertrain Options

The 2017 Chevy Equinox was available with two engine options: a standard 2.0-litre four-cylinder and an available 3.6-litre V6. The 2018 Chevy Equinox will come with a choice of three turbocharged engine options, each of which is optimized for fuel-efficiency and responsive power. These include a standard 1.5-liter turbo, a 2.0-litre turbo mated to GM’s new nine-speed automatic transmission, and a 1.6-litre turbodiesel. Each of these engines will bring unique advantages to the table, but customers seeking the same, or better, power and fuel efficiency as the 2017 model will be able to find their match.

Safety Features on the 2017 and 2018 Equinox

How does GMC’s Lane Departure Warning System work?

GMC Lane Departure Warning System

Automakers are constantly working to make sure their vehicles are as safe as possible, and as technology gets more and more advanced, safety features can be a little tricky to understand. GMC’s Lane Departure Alert is now available on a wide variety of vehicles in the manufacturer’s lineup, so we’re breaking down how exactly this advanced safety system works. Read on for details!

You might also be interested in: How to connect your smartphone to GMC’s Bluetooth® system

GMC Lane Keep Assist and Lane Departure Warning

GMC’s Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning uses a camera sensor located on the windshield to detect lane markings on the road. The system operates while the vehicle is travelling between 37 mph and 112 mph, and it’s designed to help drivers avoid collisions while on the road. If the Lane Departure Warning System determines that the vehicle is unintentionally deviating from its lane, the driver will be warned with audio, visual and sensory cues. If the driver takes no corrective measures to stay within the lane lines, the Lane Keep Assist system may kick in and provide steering assistance to keep the vehicle in its lane.

So does this mean that every time you try to change lanes while driving, the system is going to alert you that you’re leaving your lane? Definitely not. The system recognizes that a lane change is intentional when a blinker is used.

Have additional questions about GMC’s Lane Departure Warning System? Feel free to contact our team and we’ll answer any questions you may have. Drivers interested in seeing how this advanced system works in person are encouraged to schedule an obligation-free test drive online or stop in and see us at our location in Portage la Prairie!

What happens if you don’t change your car’s oil on time?

Why you should follow your oil change schedule

If you happen to forget to change the oil in your vehicle for a little longer than suggested, it’s not the end of the world but it can be pretty detrimental to your car’s engine. Many car owners don’t realize just how vitally important regularly changing the vehicle’s engine oil is, and our team here at Craig Dunn Motor City wants to make sure your car stays happy and healthy for years down the road. Wondering what happens if you don’t change your car’s oil on time? Read on to find out!

You might also be interested in: Why is my oil light still on after an oil change? 

Why you should change your oil on time

Many car owners realize that oil is an vital factor to keeping their engine running properly, but many are unaware of just how important it is to change the engine oil on time. The oil acts as a lubricant to keep all of the engine parts moving together the way they are supposed to, so if the engine oil is old the parts may rub together and cause friction. This is bad for a few reasons. When the engine parts rub together, the metal-on-metal creates heat, which can cause the parts themselves to weld together. When this happens, the engine seizes, leading to very expensive repairs. Another thing that can happen when you don’t change your engine oil on time is that dirt will accumulate in the oil, which can clog the filter. When the filter is clogged, the engine will quickly wear out, again leading to expensive repairs. So simply put, make sure you change your oil on time unless you want to spend a bunch of money fixing or replacing your engine!

GM Warranties in Canada

GM Warranties in Canada

While we at Craig Dunn Motor City have the collision repair facilities to take care of you even after the worst accidents, it’s always best to maintain your vehicle ahead of time to limit the possibility of a crash. With our selection of GM warranties in Canada for maintenance and tire protection you will know that you are covered for regular service or pesky tire issues.

GM Maintenance Plans

In addition to the warranty that comes standard with any new vehicle purchase, the GM Maintenance plans keep your vehicle in first-rate condition and work with the recommended maintenance schedule of your vehicle. They are honoured by any certified Chevrolet, Buick or GMC dealer across Canada or the U.S. so you are taken care of whether you are home in the Winnipeg area or on a cross-country road trip.

The Essential Care Maintenance Plan covers all the basics like oil changes, tire rotation, vehicles check-ups, replacement air filters for the engine and cabin, and top-offs for your coolant, transmission fluid, transfer case fluid and brake fluid.

The Enhanced Care Maintenance Plan has everything the Essential Care plan has, plus coverage for your brake pads, rotors, lining and drums, engine hoses and belts, wiper blades and some shocks and bulbs.

GM Tire Protection Plan

Do you put serious kilometers on your tires, or know that you will be driving your GMC, Chevy, or Buick vehicle on rough roads? You might want to look into a GM Tire Protection Plan. The plans will offset the cost of tire repair, replacement, and even roadside assistance. Anytime you purchase a vehicle you are eligible for a three, four or five year plan, each of which covers unlimited kilometers.

The 2017 Chevy Cruze has already begun arriving on the lot here at Craig Dunn Motor City, but two special models are going to be available for 2017: the 2017 Cruze Hatch and the 2017 Chevy Cruze Diesel. Both of these models offer attractive features, efficient driving, and generous (yet compact) interior space. Check out 2017 Chevy Cruze Diesel Canadian pricing, engine details, and standard features below.


Compare the Chevy Cruze vs Honda Civic

Chevy Cruze Beats out Honda Civic As Consumer Report Recommended Car

Each year, the Consumer Reports Auto Reliability Survey identifies which vehicle in any given category receives the highest rankings for vehicle dependability and driver satisfaction. This year, in a monumental change, the new Chevy Cruze beat out the Honda Civic in delivering this top score. We’re going to do a little Chevy Cruze vs Honda Civic comparison to see where each of these vehicles excelled or failed to excel.

2017 Chevy Cruze Diesel Canadian Pricing

front and rear seating of the 2017 Chevy CruzeThe 2017 Chevy Cruze Diesel sedan will have a Canadian starting price of $24,095 when it begins arriving in showroom in early 2017. That does not include a destination freight charge of $1,600, or taxes, fees, or any additional Chevy accessories. We believe that the new Cruze diesel will be a single trim option, but be sure to check on this blog in the future for updates. Some features that will be standard on this diesel model include:

  • Heated seats
  • Teen Driver safety features
  • Chevy MyLink infotainment system with seven-inch touchscreen
  • Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility
  • Wi-Fi hotspot capability (data sold separately)

What Engine Will Be In the 2017 Chevy Cruze Diesel?

The diesel engine on the 2017 Chevy Cruze diesel will be a 1.6-litre turbo-diesel engine. It will come standard with a six-speed manual transmission, but a nine-speed automatic transmission will also be available. We believe that this engine is the same model that will be available in diesel editions of the 2018 Chevy Equinox. We have no information yet on horsepower or torque outputs for these powertrains, but we assume that this engine will deliver on the fuel-efficiency advantages that usually come with diesel fuel. The 2017 Cruze Diesel is poised to become the only clean diesel engine option for Canadian compact car customers.
