Naza has just launched the Chevrolet Colorado X
range of variants, based on the second-generation Colorado – the Colorado X,
Colorado X Urban, and the Colorado X ADV. All three X-Edition variants are
powered by the 2.5 litre Duramax turbodiesel engine with a variable geometry
turbine turbocharger, producing 180 hp at 3,600 rpm and 440 Nm of torque at
2,000 rpm; a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic is
available.
The exterior is largely where the three variants set
themselves apart. Starting with the Colorado X at RM 114,437.48 on-the-road
without insurance, the standard gold bowtie emblems are replaced with
black-finished ones, while the tailgate and hood receive black decals. Rims are
black coated 18-inch items with highway terrain tyres, while its fuel filler
cover is finished in black chrome; an X brand decal signifies the model.
Next up is the Colorado X-Urban at RM 132,987.48
on-the-road without insurance, as the name implies, it is kitted out with a
more urban slant. Like the Colorado X, the X-Urban also gets a black Chevrolet
emblem in place of the gold item, black hood and tailgate decal, and a black
chrome fuel filler cover, while its 20-inch wheels fitted with highway terrain
tyres emphasise its road-going bias, housed in black fender flares.
Rounding up the trio and
topping the price list is the Colorado X-ADV at RM 146,767.48 on-the-road
without insurance, which offers a considerably more off-road-biased take on the
pick-up truck setup. Here, it notably adds an Old Man Emu Suspension kit
comprising coil and leaf springs and dampers, with mud terrain tyres mounted on
16-inch wheels.
The X-ADV gains black accents also with a black hood and
tailgate decal, albeit in this case in the form of a black sport bar, black
fender flares, and black side steps. The X-ADV’s front grille also gets fully
painted in gloss black, whereas the other two variants sport grilles of a black
and chrome finish.
The Colorado’s safety suite gets carried over, with
traction control, panic brake assist, electronic brake force distribution,
stability control, hill descent control, hill start assist, land departure
warning, forward collision alert, front and rear park assist sensors, tyre
pressure monitoring system, and reversing camera, while passive safety
comprises two front airbags, plus a knee airbag for the driver.
On the infotainment front, all variants get Apple
CarPlay with Siri Eyes Free and voice recognition. Interior-wise, all three
variants receive leather seats trimmed in grey and black. As with the standard
Chevrolet Colorado line-up, the variants here carry a five-year, 200,000 km
warranty. Mechanical accessories such as the X-ADV’s suspension kit and 16-inch
wheels, and the X-Urban’s 20-inch wheels are covered by a one-year warranty.
