The Chevrolet pavilion at the 2016 Auto Expo was magnificent and housed two of the most sought after cars in the world, the Corvette and Camaro. The Indian product line up showcase had the Cruze, Spin, Sail and a couple of Beat cars in stock and slightly modified forms. New mainstream arrivals were in the form of the Beat Active and the Essentia sedan. While all of the party was on full throttle, there was a muscular pick-up truck parked at the front end of the booth, as if it was guarding it. The Chevrolet Colorado looked brawny, and represented the concept of the legendary ‘American truck’ in an emphatic manner.

The showcased Colorado was a 2WD that draws power from a 2.8L Duramax 16-valve, in-line Commonrail Turbo Direct Injection with Intercooler engine. The liquid-Cooled 2,776cc engine generates 200bhp of power at 3,600rpm and a peak torque of 500Nm at 2,000rpm. The power is pushed to the wheels by a 6-speed automatic transmission.  The Storm is available in both 2WD and 4WD configurations, but no words on its India launch.
