EPA estimated 26 mpg highway for V-6 2wd models
DETROIT – The 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon will offer segment-leading fuel economy
for V-6 midsize pickups, based on EPA fuel economy estimates released today.
For V-6
pickups with automatic transmissions, which make up the majority of midsize
truck sales, Colorado and Canyon offer highway fuel economy 3 to 5 mpg better
than competitors.
“Colorado offers
some of the best EPA fuel economy estimates of any pickup in a fun-to-drive,
easy-to-own package,” said Tony Johnson, Colorado marketing manager. “Colorado proves
you don’t have to buy a lot of expensive technology to save money at the pump.”
“The all-new
2015 GMC Canyon adds segment-leading fuel economy to its winning resume,” said
Kenn Bakowski, Canyon marketing manager. “Innovations such as available active
grille shutters combine with an aerodynamic design in a smaller, more maneuverable
package to set a new standard for fuel economy in midsize trucks.”
