Chevy Buick GMC Safety Features

From the very structure of the vehicle to available advanced active crash prevention features, the safety advantages on Chevy, Buick and GMC vehicles offer a high degree of protection. Many vehicles offer as many as ten airbags for surround protection in the case of a crash. Most GM vehicles also come with several months complementary OnStar support, which includes the ability to notify emergency services in the case of a crash. Here are a few more safety features available on GM vehicles.

blind spot warnings make passing safer on the highway
a rear cross traffic alert warning lets you know that someone is behind you as you try to leave a parking space

Rearview Camera

Standard on many models, the rearview camera can help with parking and backing up by giving you an unobstructed view behind your vehicle. It can be especially useful watching for children.

Blind Spot Warnings

This feature will notify drivers if there is another vehicle in their blind spot. This can prevent someone trying to pull into a lane when they can’t see, or don’t notice, a car beside them.

Rear Cross Traffic Alerts

This feature greatly simplifies backing up. Your vehicle will warn you if a car is coming up behind you as you are pulling out of a parking space, which means fewer accidents.

Lane departure warnings and lane keeping assistance on GM vehicles
Forward collision alert on a GMC vehicle alerts drivers of impact

Lane Keeping Assist

Many Chevy, Buick and GMC vehicles are available with lane keeping alerts and lane keeping assistance. These warn you if you are drifting out of your lane on the highway, and, in some cases, will help gently steer you back into the correct lane to avoid collisions.

Forward Collision Alert

With forward collision alert, and the even more advanced automatic braking, drivers can be warned of possible collisions in time to minimize or avoid impacts. With automatic braking, a vehicle will even begin to stop on its own when it senses a possible forward impact.

The exact features available on a given model vary wildly, but most of these are available on at least one trim level of all the Chevy, Buick and GMC vehicles available here at Craig Dunn Motor City. Other exciting feature options include a Safety Alert Seat and the new Back Seat Notification on the 2017 GMC Acadia.

Contact a Craig Dunn Motor City team member today to learn more about what safety features are available on GM vehicles.

Special Edition Silverado

Silverado Midnight Edition

Each year, special editions of vehicles come out to give drivers some more unique vehicle options. They typically take an already impressive vehicle and tweak it slightly to create a new and exciting model. Recently Chevy announced the Silverado Midnight Edition. Fans of the Chevy Silverado will be very interested in this new edition. It has a few added features and some new styling details.

The first major difference, as you could probably guess, is that the whole vehicle is decked out in black. It has an all-black front end with body-coloured grille, bumper, headlamp bezels, tow hooks and fog lamps, as well as black side mouldings and beltline moldings. It even has black Chevrolet bowties on the front and rear. All of these added black features creates a sleek and stylish spin on the Silverado.

The Midnight special editions also includes:

  • 18-inch black painted alloy wheels
  • Aggressive Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac all-terrain tires
  • A black spray-in bedliner
  • Rancho Monotube Shocks
  • Hill Descent Controls
  • Trailering packages
  • Rear park assist

And more!

All of these added features make the Silverado Midnight special edition even more durable and dependable, especially when it comes to conquering Canada’s worst conditions. The DuraTrac tires are practical and useful because they meet the most severe snow service standards. Chevy will be offering the Midnight special edition in either the 1500 double-cab or crew cab models. There will be a limited number produced, but they can be ordered starting in February 2015.

If you are interesting in buying a vehicle that can handle harsh Canadian winters, check out the selection at Craig Dunn Motor City! We have a variety of GMC, Buick and Chevy vehicles that have been tested to withstand whatever comes your way. Schedule a test drive today and check back here often to learn more about the benefits of choosing GM Canada here at Craig Dunn Motor City.

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

The 2018 Chevy Equinox will benefit from many driver assistance safety features for the new year. The all-new Surround Vision camera system will increase drivers’ awareness of their environment, while the new rear seat reminder will help owners keep track of valuables in their vehicles. Features that were available on the 2017 Chevy Equinox, like lane change alerts, blind-side alerts, and rear cross-traffic alerts will also be available in the new model.

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.

CNG and LPG on General Motors Vehicles

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.

New Alternative Fuel Options for GM Fleet Vehicles

CNG fueling port for a specialized Chevy ImpalaWhen 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.

2016 Chevy Colorado vs 2015 Chevy Colorado

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.Silver 2016 Chevy Colorado

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.
