Kanchanaburi - Lifestyle families today tend to get bored with the routine of the streets in the town , occasionally hang out more " wild " adventure nuanced , often a choice . This is a target that is pursued General Motors ( GM ) , the Chevrolet Trailblazer and Colorado products . To make it more challenging , the engine was replaced with the New Duramax that claimed more fierce . Explained , four- cylinder engine tubrodiesel now have additional power . Most top , 2.800cc variants , has the power 200PS@3.600 Nm@2.000 rpm and 500 rpm .
To prove , GM Indonesia invited the media along with five others , to prove the performance of SUVs and pick- ups over it to Thailand , last November . S early , wading Bangkok traffic congestion . There are 11 cars prepared , there Trailblazer and Colorado . Several journalists from the Philippines also join in the convoy . Here , comfort in the middle of dense traffic be the first test .
Auto Media driving a Trailblazer 2.8 automatic transmission . Because of the way the route is flat and solid , yet feels right amount of power . Should stomp the gas pedal to accelerate even more in the peak torque has been felt since 2000 rpm .
Entertainment Device
Thanks should be given to MyLink entertainment system . Auto Media with colleagues from Motor Trend provision iPhone5 to be connected to the system as a traveling companion . Simply plug the USB port in the center console . There is a feature to listen to various radio stations around the world , including Indonesia ! The trip so not too boring . Unfortunately, these features can not be connected to the Blackberry .
When separated from the urban to the highway , cruise control buttons occasionally played so feet do not get tired keeping pace . Very quiet in the car with the suspension firmly maintain stability . To monitor the driving aggressiveness can be seen in the existing MID on the panel meter . In the screen appears graphs fuel consumption that you have " wasted " in a certain interval .
Off -road light
Until finally arrived in the forest at Kaeng Shian area . The atmosphere turned into an adventure . The delegation then " blusukan " in fairly dense forest with big trees and bamboo . The character of the street up and down the muddy track conditions , holes , slippery , even a small number of times across time .
New Duramax engine torque increasingly felt . In order to stay awake traction wheel button on the console 2H to 4H mode changed . The move is very fitting to bulldoze light off-road conditions . No need to stop moving , because it is technologically shift on the fly , the origin is still below 100 kph.
The next route , towards Elephant 's World , a kind of sanctuary for elephants . Team Indonesia and the Philippines are required to transport as many banana trees in the Colorado box . There is a hidden purpose other than carrying capacity tub shows , the evidence is still qualified personnel despite carrying the load .
conclusion
Changes to the Duramax engine proved to be very powerful when blusukan on the road off-road , especially about torque . Despite the large engine capacity , but has a good efficient . Tank filled with 76 liters of diesel fuel was exhausted though lauched so far more than 630 miles to the " wasteful " . While other parts ( exterior and interior ) are the same as the previous model , there is only an additional MyLink .
