“Although this is a show vehicle, the basic proportions and form convey the vision for the next-generation Colorado that we will bring to market,” said Brad Merkel, GM's global vehicle line executive.
“It reflects a stylized version of the new truck, one that takes into account rugged dependable truck capabilities for commercial use as well as sophisticated refinement for personal-use needs.”
The Bangkok show truck features an extended-cab body atop a high-stance AWD chassis and rides on large, 20-inch wheels and off-road tires size 285/50R20. Certain details such as the large alloy wheels, futuristic exterior mirrors and LED lamps will most likely be absent from the production model.
The interior styling of the Colorado is inspired from the latest Chevy models including the Aveo/Sonic as well as the Camaro. Chevy says soft-touch materials have been used throughout the cabin, which also features number of storage compartments including a covered center bin and a large, dual glovebox.
Power for the Colorado show truck comes via 2.8-liter turbo-diesel engine.

On the concept pickup truck while it is known only that he will be equipped with a 2.8-liter diesel engine and AWD system. Currently, 138-horsepower four-cylinder engine on "heavy oil" the same amount used on the car Chevrolet S-10, intended for the Brazilian market. Probably, Chevrolet Colorado planned to equip the next generation version of this unit.
As previously reported, the Motor Show in Bangkok for the debut of the new Colorado was chosen because it is in Thailand, demand for pickup trucks is growing steadily and the market of Southeast Asia is of particular importance for the automaker. With the company General Motors also reported that last year 43 percent of all sold cars in this country were just a pickup.
Chevrolet Colorado pickup debuted in 2004. In the U.S. the car is offered with rear-and four-wheel drive, as well as with three petrol engines: a 2.9-liter "Quartet" producing 185 horsepower, 242-strong "Five" volume 3.7 liters and 300 horsepower engine V8 in volume 5, 3 liters.

Having led the Koreans with the Hyundai Sonata, GM is expected to only offer four-cylinder drives in the 2012 Malibu, so look for both naturally aspirated 2.4-liter turbocharged engine and 2.0-liter engine in the press. In addition, hybrid configurations in the works, as reported, for example, all-wheel-drive.

General Motors said that Thailand was chosen as the site of the global debut of the Colorado because of the “popularity of pickup trucks and the growing importance of the Thai market to Chevrolet”. The company noted that in 2010, the truck segment accounted for a whopping 43 percent of all vehicles sold in Thailand.
“Trucks play a key role in most Southeast Asian markets,” said Susan Docherty, vice president, GMIO Sales, Marketing and Aftersales. “Nowhere is this more evident than in Thailand, where trucks like the Colorado are ingrained in the local lifestyle. Thailand was a natural place to give the public a first glimpse of our all-new Colorado.”
Those of you with a sharp memory may recall the patent drawings of a Chevrolet pickup truck that we showed in the summer of 2010. If you compare Chevy’s official rendering with the sketches, it is obvious that we are talking about the same vehicle.
GM noted the new Chevrolet Colorado will make its market debut in Thailand later this year, but did not say when (or if) the mid-size pickup will come to the States and other markets across the globe.

By the time GM has not released details, so I'll leave you with this first image while we wait for the rest of the information.
The first country which will be sold model is Germany, and the price of the car will be € 41,950. (This is about 56,000 dollars). This price is almost twice higher than the price at which the hybrid car sold in the U.S., where starting from 32,500 dollars.
As is known, the hybrid Chevrolet Volt is a system which includes an electric motor with 150 hp lithium-ion batteries, petrol engine volume 1.4 liters, which is only used for charging batteries.
Only with the help of electricity car can travels on a single charge 64 km. When you include a petrol engine with a tank can be driven 500 km. Charging the battery from the standard loop lasts from 8 to 10 hours.
Sales of the Volt in the U.S. launched at the end of last year, the base price of the hybrid is about 40 000 dollars, but the government subsidizes every buyer with 7500 dollars, so that the final price of the said 32,500 dollars.
Meanwhile it became clear and the price of which in Europe will be sold "twins" on Volt - Opel Ampera. The price of an Opel model in Europe will start from 42,900 euros.

The Volt's sister car, the Opel Ampera, will also go on sale this year in Europe, at a slightly higher starting price. Unveiled in final production form at the Geneva Show, the Ampera will cost €42,900 ($59,885), but prices can vary in different countries depending on the standard equipment.
Chevrolet said the Volt would be fully equipped with all the usual safety and convenience features, plus leather seats. As in the US, European buyers will have an 8-year/160,000 km warranty (100,000 miles) on the powertrain and the lithium-ion battery.
"Our price in Europe is based on the U.S. Volt price adjusted for transportation cost, import duties, exchange rates and homologation," said Wayne Brannon, CEO of Chevrolet Europe.
The Volt and the Ampera are basically the same car, both being built at GM’s Detroit Hamtramck plant in Michigan, US. There are only minor differences between the two cars, mainly concerning the front and the rear styling. In battery-only mode, the EVs have a maximum range of 40-80 kilometers (25-49 miles) that can be extended to 600 km (373 miles) when the gasoline engine / generator kicks in to charge the battery.
The 111 kW (150 hp) electric motor delivers 370 Nm of torque (273 lb-ft), accelerating the car from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in around nine seconds while top speed is 161 km/h (100 mph). The battery can be fully recharged at any household 230-volt power outlet in three to four hours.
