2016 Chevy Colorado: Most fuel efficient truck in Canada!

We’ve talked in the past about the advantages of diesel fuel. One of the biggies is that diesel (when properly handled to minimize emissions and environmental damage) is extremely fuel efficient. Now we have even more exciting news about the 2016 Chevy Colorado’s fuel efficiency!

2016 Chevy Colorado diesel fuel consumption

The two-wheel drive 2016 Chevy Colorado offers a fuel consumption rating of just 7.7 L/100km with the diesel engine when driving on the highway. It also offers 10.8 L/100km in city driving for an combined fuel consumption number of 9.4 L/100km.

New Colorado InventoryThe four-wheel drive 2016 Chevy Colorado diesel still offers an impressive 8.2 L/100km highway fuel consumption rating, with 12.0 L/100km and 10.3 L/100km for city and combined driving, respectively.

2016 Chevy Colorado Duramax diesel release date

The new Colorado also offers top capabilities in categories other than fuel efficiency. It has a maximum trailering rating of 7,700 pounds (3,492 kg) with the two-wheel drive when properly equipped and up to 7,600 pounds (3,447 kg) for four wheel drive models with the available trailering package.

All of this this thanks in large part of the new Duramax 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine, which is rated for 181 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque. In a recent press release, Joe De Stefano, brand manager of Chevrolet Trucks in Canada said, “The Colorado Duramax diesel sets a new benchmark in the mid-size pickup segment in Canada. “Colorado gas models are extremely popular with our customers and the addition of the new diesel – which no other non-GM competitor offers on a midsize truck – gives customers even greater freedom to go where they want with fewer fill-ups.”

That sounds pretty excellent to us! Also keep an eye for this Duramax Diesel engine to be available on 2016 GMC Canyon this fall along with the 2016 Chevy Colorado.

Life for families is always busy, and can often be stressful. It’s important, especially on those long vacations (possibly to fairs and festivals near Portage La Prairie MB?) to keep everyone as happy as possible. That is why we are proud of the rear seat entertainment options in GM Canada vehicles. Whether you have a Chevy Silverado truck, a GMC Acadia SUV, or a smaller vehicle, there are ways for families to have a lot of fun on the road.

Built-In Entertainment Systems

overhead rear entertainment screen from the 2016 GMC Yukon large SUVOne of the easiest ways to keep children entertained is to purchase one of the many large GM vehicles that offers a rear entertainment system. Many models like the exceedingly dependable GMC Yukon, Chevy Tahoe or Chevy Suburban will offer this family-advantage as an extra feature. Some trucks like the Chevy Silverado and Chevy Silverado HD may also have this feature available in select trims.

Entertainment systems can also come with different options. Depending on the model, the system may offer a single view screen suspended from the roof of the vehicle, or it may feature twin view screens set in the front seats. Some will be DVD compatible, Blu-ray compatible, or be able to play both media types. No matter what, the system will come standard with wireless headphones. This allows kids or back-seat passengers to enjoy a movie without distracting the driver.

If you are looking at a vehicle in our new GM inventory and would like to know if it is available with a rear seat entertainment system, please contact a member of our sales team today!

Wi-Fi Entertainment Options in GM Vehicles

Just because you don’t want to spend the money to get a rear entertainment system doesn’t mean your kids or other rear seat passengers have to be bored! Thanks to the 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot available in most Chevy vehicles and many GMC and Buick models, you have even more rear seat entertainment options in GM vehicles. With signal strength that can connect up to seven devices to the internet, using your own tablet or pad is also a viable rear seat entertainment option!

Flashback Friday: 1955 Chevy Bel Air Sport Coupe

Today for Flashback Friday, we’re going to check out a vehicle that revolutionized the Chevrolet automobile: The 1955 Chevy Bel Air Sport Coupe. Debuting more than a decade before the iconic 1967 Chevy Camaro Z28 that would go on to capture the heats and minds of speed fans everywhere, the Bel Air changed the image of the Chevrolet brand from staid dependability to the sleek, and attractive (yet still extremely dependable) vehicles that we know today.

1955 Chevy Bel Air Sport Coupe Revolutionary Amenities

The 1955 Chevy Bel Air was stylish and attractive inside and out, and it brought a lot of firsts to the Chevrolet brand. The 1955 Chevy Bel Air Sport Coupe was available with advantages like a 12-volt (rather than 6-volt) electrical system, and convenience features (that we take for granted today because they are standard on most new Chevy, Buick and GMC vehicles) like air conditioning, power windows, power seats, power steering and brakes, and advanced radio options. The 1955 Bel Air Sport Coupe was a stunning combination of affordable and well-equipped, and it sold like hotcakes.

Bel Air Sport Coupe V8 Power

This sport coupe also made waves with its revolutionary available “Turbo-Fire” V8 small-block engine. While this was far from the first V8 engine to hit the roads (though Chevy trucks would not see V8 engines until the ’80s), the Bel Air’s engine was designed to be lighter and more compact than its processors. The basic design of this small block engine remains roughly the same today, even with new advances in fuel efficiency and power.

First Chevy Indy 500 Pace Car

The 1955 Chevy Bel Air Sport Coupe, in addition to looking gorgeous and pumping out serious power, had other firsts as well. This model become the first Chevrolet vehicle to serve as the Indianapolis 500 Pace car (though it would be far from the last). We are delighted to be able to focus a Flashback Friday on this attractive and road-burning model.

Teen Driver Feature on Chevy Vehicles Helps Reduced Parent Worries

As Labour Day, a return to school, and the end of summer get closer, more and more teens are getting their learner stage licences.

What Chevy Vehicles Have Teen Driver?

The Teen Driver feature has previously been available on several Chevy vehicles, like the 2016 Chevy Malibu. However, for 2017 this safe-driving advantage will be available on ten models in North America: the 2017 Chevy Camaro, Chevy Silverado and Silverado HD, Chevy Suburban, Chevy Tahoe, Chevy Colorado, Chevy Cruze, Chevy Volt, Chevy Malibu, and Chevy Bolt EV. We’re not sure yet if all these models will be available with this feature in Canada, but we are hoping that they will!

Teen Driver Feature on Chevy Vehicles

But what is involved in the Teen Driver feature? Parents interested in using this features with their learning driver must first register their teen’s keyfob with their Chevy’s system settings. After that, whenever that keyfob is in use certain safety practices will be in place. Some of these include:

  • Muting the vehicle sound system if seatbelts are not being used
  • Visual and audible warnings when the car goes over pre-set speeds
  • Limits on maximum sound system volume
  • Limits on maximum speed
  • Automatic activation of advanced safety features

Teen Driver Report Card

The available in-vehicle Teen Driver Report Card can also set parents minds at ease (or give them practical information to help their student learn better driving habits). This report card gives a summary of student driving. The exact items available on the Report Card will vary by vehicle, but some options include maximum speed reached, the total distance driven, and if any features like stability control, anti-lock brakes, traction control or Forward Collision Alerts and Braking were needed.

Unlike features like 4G LTE Wi-Fi on Chevy vehicles or OnStar services, Teen Driver does not need to be renewed or purchased on a monthly level. Contact a member of our Craig Dunn Motor City sales team today to learn what vehicles available here in Portage La Prairie offer this feature.

How to clean your car’s cloth seats

If you own a car with a cloth interior, your seats are going to get dirty. It’s inevitable, but they don’t need to stay dirty.

For easy solutions to cleaning your car’s cloth seats, keep reading!

Cleaning fabric seats in a car

Your fabric seats are going to get dirty at some point, but luckily for you, it’s pretty easy to restore your seating surfaces to their original glory. The first thing you’ll want to do is remove any dirt or debris covering the seats by thoroughly vacuuming. Once you have finished vacuuming, you’ll want to lightly spray the seats with a high-quality fabric and cloth cleaning solution. Make sure you don’t spray too much or allow the spray to saturate or over-soak the seats, as this may cause mold in the underlying cushion.

Vacuuming your car's seats

Immediately after spraying a small area of the seat, use a soft interior brush to get a thorough clean. Dirt and grime will be picked up, so make sure you have a microfiber towel on hand to scoop up any debris. If you notice that there are still stains on the seats after this has been completed, it’s time to call the heavy hitter. An interior scrub pad should do the trick, but be careful to not scrub too hard or the seat’s fibers. Once the seats are clean, you’re going to want to vacuum again just to make sure you’ve picked up all the dirt and grime before it reattaches to the seat.

What are Some Advantages of Diesel?

Diesel engines haven’t been popular in North America for years and you won’t find a ton of them in Canada or the United States. These engines are most common in large equipment like trains, electric plants or as options on heavy duty trucks like the GMC Sierra 2500 or the Chevy Silverado 2500. The engines can get a bad rap as too noisy or dirty, but there are plenty of benefits to diesel. If you’ve ever asked yourself “What are some advantages of diesel?” we have a basic answer for you that might change your opinion of this much maligned fuel.

Heavy duty engines

Because combustion in a diesel engine is triggered by compression rather than a spark, the engines are built tough and don’t break down often. Because they do not use an electrical ignition system they also can adapt easily to damp environments.

Impressive Fuel Efficiency

Diesel burns fuel about 33 percent more efficiently than gas. That can add up quickly to some pretty impressive savings even when diesel fuel itself is more expensive.

Definite Safety Advantages

Diesel fuel burns more efficiently, so you won’t have fuel residue coming out with your exhaust. Also, diesel is significantly less likely to burst into flames or explode than regular gasoline.

Ramped Up Torque

Diesel engines offer better torque than their gasoline counterparts, which means significantly smoother acceleration and more towing and hauling capabilities.

Clean burning fuel

While diesel has a reputation for being a dirty fuel, new advances in engine design and fuel composition have worked to decrease the traditional sulfur smell as well as unpleasant emissions. Because diesel needs less fuel to drive farther, each engine ends up producing less carbon dioxide than a gas engine would to cover the same distance.

With new trucks like 2016 GMC Canyon and the 2016 Chevy Colorado being available for the coming year with diesel engine options, there are even more chances to take advantage of the many benefits of diesel fuel and engines. Schedule your test drive for one of these great trucks at Craig Dunn Motor City today.
