Check Out Pricing on the 2017 Cruze Diesel

We love the Chevy Colorado. Not only is this great truck now available with a diesel powertrain that makes it the most fuel-efficient truck in Canada, but its power and comfort features are hard to match. Apparently, Car and Drive Magazine agrees with us. They took the Chevy Colorado and one of its chief rivals, the Toyota Tacoma, on a long-distance trip to test the mettle of each of these mid-size pickups. You can probably guess which vehicle came out ahead that in Chevy Colorado vs Toyota Tacoma comparison.

The idea was simple: take these two mid-size trucks from Mount Rainier near Tacoma in the state of Washington to Pike’s Peak in Colorado, a trip which ended up being more than 3,050 kilometres covered in just four days. On the way the folks from Car and Driver pushed each truck to its limits both on the highway and off the road.

You can read the whole account at www.CarandDriver.com, but the highlights, and what delighted us here at Craig Dunn, was how the Chevy Colorado wowed the judges and excelled. There are some highlights:

2016 Chevy Colorado vs 2016 Toyota Tacoma

Acceleration: The Chevy Colorado that was tested had just slightly more torque than the Tacoma, but it delivered it at lower rpm. That contributed to stronger passing and a faster 0-60 acceleration time

Power: The Chevy Colorado also offers stronger towing and payload options (check out our 2016 Chevy Colorado research page for details).

Read More: 2016 Chevy Colorado Named Motor Trend Truck of the Year

Cabin Comfort: Another place that the Chevy Colorado impressed the judges was in cabin comfort. If offered more head and leg room than the Tacoma, and offered better seating comfort and smoother driving. While the Tacoma that was tested came with certain top off-roading options, those really detracted from the ride comfort of the truck when on the highway, and didn’t help passenger comfort at all.

There’s a reason why the Chevy Colorado took the lead this year as the Non-Luxury Mid-size Pickup that customers keep coming back to: because when it comes to comfort, power, and bang for your buck, it’s hard to beat the Colorado. Schedule your test drive at Craig Dunn Motor City today.

Chevy Silverado Trailering Technology

The 2016 Chevy Silverado is one of the best trucks on the road, not just for its sheer power, or new fuel efficiency advances every year. This fantastic and versatile pickup also is available with a host of trailering technologies that allow drivers to get even more work done with top efficiency. Keep reading to learn more about the new Chevy Silverado Trailering Camera System release date and other trailering technologies on this great truck.

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.

This Trailering Camera System package will be available on 2014-2016 model year Silverado HD trucks like the 2016 Silverado 2500HD, and Silverado 1500 trucks equipped with the available trailer-towing mirrors. This system will go on sale in North America in April. Contact a Craig Dunn Motor City sales representative to get updates on future availability near Winnipeg, MB.

Other trailering technologies available on the Chevy Silverado and Silverado HD include digital steering assist, a fifth-wheel trailering package, and diesel exhaust braking with integrated cruise control.

Chevy estimates that 1.4 million drivers have downloaded and regularly use the myChevrolet app, and the app has been used roughly 8.5 million times since the start of 2017. Chevrolet drivers who haven’t yet downloaded the myChevrolet app yet will definitely want to do so now that the app is compatible with Apple Watch. Chevy owners will be able to remote stop and start their vehicle, lock and unlock doors, activate and cancel the horn, and turn the lights on or off all from their Apple Watch.

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.

2017 Chevy Cruze Diesel Canadian Pricing

The 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.

It can be tough to keep up with new vehicle technologies, especially since technology is constantly evolving and becoming more complicated. But that’s what you have our team at Craig Dunn Motor City for! We’ve recently been asked about Chevy’s Rear Cross Traffic Alert, so we’re breaking down how the system works in an easy-to-understand way! Keep reading for more details.

Chevy Rear Cross Traffic Alert safety system

Chevy’s Rear Cross Traffic Alert works by using rear-mounted radar sensors to monitor what’s going on directly behind your vehicle. The system activates when you put it into reverse, and it acts as an extra set of eyes for you. If you start backing up and another vehicle approaches, you will hear a beeping noise from the system, alerting you that rear traffic is approaching. The Rear Cross Traffic Alert safety system is especially useful in crowded parking lots, when it can be hard to see if any other vehicles are approaching.

Six decades of the Chevy Corvette

With the recent successful restoration of the one millionth Corvette (which was almost totaled when a sinkhole opened under its showroom at the National Corvette Museum in Kentucky) we thought we’d take a quick look at the history of this stylish and iconic muscled car. Welcome to Flashback Friday: Corvette Edition.

First introduced in 1953 at the GM Motorama as a concept car, the sleek lines and power under the hood of the Vette drew enough interest that GM introduced the first generation for public sale late in the 1953 model year. Since then, over one million Corvettes have been constructed with care and pride by Chevrolet.

Looking for a new GM vehicle? Check out our inventoryWhen the one millionth Corvette was damaged, restorers thought that they would be able to just replace many of the parts that had been crushed in the fall. Much to their surprise, many of the Vette’s parts had been signed by those who played a part in the construction. Restorers had to work even harder to preserve as many of the signatures as they could. Through hard work and diligence, Chevrolet restorers were able to preserve, transfer or replace every signature on the vehicle and preserve the history of everyone who took part the construction of this milestone Corvette.

Over the years the Corvette has won many awards and recognition, such as first on the “100 Coolest Cars” list of Automobile Magazine, number five for Sports Car International’s “Top Sports Cars of the 1960s”, and even “Most Coveted Vehicle” for the 2006 Canadian Car of the Year contest. We can believe it.

The Corvette was even recognized as “Best Engineered Car of the 20th century” from the Society of Automotive Engineers. It’s a beautiful example of the engineering prowess and care that goes into every GM vehicle, from heavy-duty GMC Sierra 2500 trucks to the family-oriented Chevy Malibu.

We hope you enjoyed this edition of Flashback Friday. We at Craig Dunn Motor City are proud to be a part on the ongoing history of this great automobile manufacturer.

Many times specialty models and concept vehicles (like the Buick Avista) never make it from the auto show to the lot. However, sometimes a concept will be presented, and it will be so exciting that it will make it all the way to the showroom. The Silverado High Desert package is one such model. This excellent variation on the traditional Chevy truck offers many advantages and features. Keep reading to find out the 2017 Chevy Silverado High Desert Package Canadian release date and details on this model.

The 2017 Chevy Silverado High Desert Package will go on sale in Canada in the first quarter of 2017.  Contact a member of our sales team to see if this model will be coming to Craig Dunn Motor City in Portage La Prairie near Winnipeg MB.

Silverado High Desert Storage Features

The top unique advantage of the High Desert package on the 2017 Chevy Silverado its excellent cargo system. This package will feature a storage system that adds dual side storage bins over the super-strong roll-formed steel Silverado bed. Covered by a hard, three-piece tonneau cover, this cargo system will also have a divider that will allow truck owners to secure both small and large items efficiently.

This package will be available on LT, LTZ and High Country models, and also include a tailgate that can be locked or unlocked using the keyfob.

Specs on the 2017 Silverado High Desert in Canada

The 2017 Chevy Silverado High Desert Package will feature 20-inch wheels and all-season tires on the LT trim and 22-inch wheels with all-terrain tires on the other two trims. Each model will come with the elite Magnetic Ride Control suspension, which allows incredibly precise and comfortable driving. This will mark the first time Magnetic Ride Control has been available on a Silverado truck.

We are excited about the 2017 Chevy Silverado High Desert package Canadian release date, and the great storage and suspension options that will be available on this truck next year.

Chevy Cruze vs Honda Civic

Both the 2016 and 2017 Chevy Cruze and the 2017 Honda Civic are compact vehicles that come well-equipped with high-value technology features. The 2017 Chevy Cruze is available both in sedan and hatchback body style, while the 2017 Honda Civic is available in sedan, coupe or hatchback form. The Cruze comes standard with a 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine rated for 153 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque. The Civic comes with either a 2.-liter four-cylinder (158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet) or a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder that starts at 174 horsepower and 162 pound-feet.

The Honda Civic has long been a leading vehicle in the Consumer Reports reliability study, but this year it lost that coveted spot to the elegant, engaging and fuel efficient Chevy Cruze. Throughout the study no vehicle performed better than the 2016 Chevy Cruze.

Technology Features on the Chevy Cruze

Though the Chevy Cruze performed impressively in this reliability study, that doesn’t mean that it lacked any kind of technological advantage. Standard features on the 2016 and 2017 Chevy Cruze include automatic headlights, air conditioning, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, Bluetooth connectivity, available 4G LTE Wi-Fi thanks to OnStar connectivity, a rearview camera and a seven-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.

When it comes to making the automotive world a greener place, General Motors is in the front of the race with vehicles like the 2017 Chevy Bolt EV and various eAssist engine options on cars and trucks. However, General Motors in North America is also making it easier for commercial drivers to save money on fuel and be good the environment at the same time with new alternative fuel options for GM fleet vehicles.

Read More: What Are the Advantages of Diesel Fuel?

New Alternative Fuel Options for GM Fleet Vehicles

When it comes to fuel options on Chevy and GMC vehicles, drivers don’t have to stick just to traditional gasoline and diesel power. There are also several CNG (compressed natural gas) and LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) options on the market. These fuels offer an alternative and highly-efficient option when it comes to powering a heavy-duty vehicle. Thanks to a recently announced partnership between GM and Power Solutions International Inc., more heavy-duty pickups and full-size vans equipped with the 6.0-litre V8 will be available with the ability to burn these fuels.

These vehicles will be available in select locations within the first three months of 2017. We don’t know yet if these vehicles will be available in Manitoba at our dealership, but contact a member of our sales team to learn more about alternative fuel options at Craig Dunn Motor City.

GM Cars Capable of Using Alternative Fuels

While most vehicles that use alternative fuels are heavy-duty trucks and vans, there are also cars and SUVs available with alternative fuel options in North America (check Canadian availability separately). The Chevy Cruze is available with a B20-capable diesel engine, while the Chevy Impala is available with E85 Ethanol burning capabilities. Those seeking an SUV can take advantage of the E85-capable Chevy Equinox, Chevy Suburban, Chevy Tahoe, or GMC Terrain.

Electric vehicles from GM include the Chevy Bolt, Chevy Volt, and Chevy Malibu Hybrid.

With 2016 model year General Motors vehicles beginning to appear on dealerships across Canada even before the 2015 models have been sold, it can be a challenge to wade through features and details to decide which model is best for you. While the clearance prices and financing options on 2015 models can be pretty alluring, it can be hard sometimes to make the choice between a deal and the latest in technology options. So if you’ve been wondering what’s new between the 2016 Chevy Colorado vs 2015 Chevy Colorado keep reading to see a few of the options new for this coming model year.

Chevy Colorado Duramax Diesel

We’ve posted before about the Duramax diesel option that will be available on the 2016 Chevy Colorado, but it’s worth repeating, because diesel engines offer a host of advantages in longevity and efficiency that we think appeal to anyone wanting a reliable work truck or an efficient commuting vehicle. The 2.8-liter Duramax turbo diesel engine coming to the 2016 Chevy Colorado should be pretty awesome.

Available Specialty Editions

The 2016 Chevy Colorado will also be available in an all-black Midnight Edition and a Z71 Trail Boss Edition optimized for off-roading.

Integrated Trailer Brake Controller

Sometimes your trailer wheels will lock up if the weight of the trailer isn’t matched to the braking force applied. With the brake control options newly available on the 2016 Chevy Colorado the braking force applied to your trailer can be optimized to match the weight it is carrying, hopefully giving you even better, and safer, braking abilities.

Enhanced Infotainment Options

Another new feature coming to the 2016 Chevy Colorado is an improved driver information centre in the gauge cluster of the LT and Z71 trims. Featuring an enhanced multicoloured display, this feature should offer even better technology integration options.

2016 Chevy Cruze Fuel Consumption

Outfitted with the 1.4-litre turbocharged Ecotec engine, the 2016 Chevy Cruze will be able to deliver fuel consumption ratings of just 5.6 L/100km on the highway for the LS and LT models and 5.9 L/100km for the top-of-the-line Premier. In city driving, the 2016 Cruze will offer a fuel consumption rating of 7.8 L/100km.

Advanced Cruze Powertrain Features

These fantastic numbers are boosted by the Cruze’s decreased weight for this model year, and efficiency technology like engine stop-start. This engine is matched to either a six-speed manual or six-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. This powertrain is also rated for 153 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque.

All together, a 2016 Cruze LS with the new engine, compared to a similar model in the previous year, offers a fuel consumption improvement of 26 percent in city driving and 18 percent on the highway.

“The all-new 2016 Chevrolet Cruze is a more efficient and sophisticated evolution of the brand’s best-selling global car,” said Laura Pacey, brand director, Chevrolet in Canada, in a recent press release. “The next-generation Cruze elevates the segment with innovative safety and technology features that are accessible to compact car customers.”

This new engine and its fantastic mileage numbers are far from the end in fuel efficiency technology and styling advancements for the Chevy Cruze. A diesel model (which will offer even more impressive fuel efficiency) should be available in 2017 and a hatchback Cruze model will be available this fall.

Built-In Entertainment Systems

One 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.

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!
