New Chevrolet Colorado double cab coming in December!

New Chevrolet Colorado double cab coming in December!

Yesterday, we posted on the all new Chevrolet Colorado pick up truck, which made its world debut in Thailand. Looking very much like the Colorado Show Truck from the Bangkok Motor Show, Thai sales of the new Colorado will start on October 17.

Our northern neighbours get to choose from 26 combinations of Colorado models, powertrains, cabins, and ride heights. Two new Duramax diesel engines will be available, a 2.8L with VGT, 180 hp and 470 Nm, as well as a 2.5L with 150 hp/350 Nm.

The good news here is that the Colorado is coming to Malaysia in two months time, according to franchise holder Naza Quest Sdn Bhd. The company says that the CBU from Thailand Colorado will arrive in double cab form, in LT and top spec LTZ trim levels. Both 2.5L and 2.8L engines will be available, in both auto and manual transmissions. Vehicle deliveries are expected to start in mid December.

Welcome to Malaysia’s pick-up truck market, Chevy. Click here for the full deal on the Colorado.

      abt 500,000.00 baht to 800,000.00 baht (52,000.00MYR to 82,000.00MYR) Maybe the single cab version will be priced at range 52,000.00MYR to 62,000.00MYR while the 4X2 2.5L version at 62,000.00MYR to 72,000.00MYR(standard & premium), the 4X4 2.5L at around 72,000.00MYR to 82,000.00MYR(standard, premium & advance). The 4X4 2.8L version price will soon announced but think it will be priced at around 82,000.00MYR to 102,000.00MYR depending to its accessory and safety features. malaysia only get the double cab version.

  • Good on you Chevy. This will make other makes wake up. Ford better bring in their 3.2 Ranger. But will the new Isuzu ride on the same platform as Colorado? Competition always good for us consumers. Still want to get the Hailux?

    Seems like a very good respone from readers since the launched report was posted, but shall see when it’s finally in our shore. It will take them a very huge effort to give Hilux, D-Max, Triton & Navara a run for their money. But this is a very good competition…

  • i own the new navara SE. my question is:-

    i) chevy 3s centres in malaysia reliable or not? my friends who bought the captiva and cruze said the workmanship and customer service were below par.

    ii) spare parts for this car murah or not? the dash (as per paultan’s previous feature on this car reflected bells and whistles not available in current 4×4 pickup) has a lot of electronics. tak mahal ke if anything rosak? are they widely available?

      Spare parts would eventually become cheaper if the particular model sells like hot cake here in Malaysia.

      If it doesn’t sells well, then it going to be hard to find a spare part shop that is willing to stock up the replacement parts
