The all-new 2019 Chevrolet Blazer is set to go on sale in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and other GCC countries in June. The Blazer borrows design cues from Chevrolet’s performance model, the Camaro, to give it a sporty look and is available with two engine options.
With very few recalls rising up, November 2018 has been a pretty peaceful month.
Chevrolet has entered the electric car market in the Middle East with the introduction of the Bolt EV. This model has already been on sale in the United States since late 2016, and then reached European shores as an Opel Ampera-e the following year. We were given a glimpse of the Bolt at last year’s Dubai Motor Show and it’s now available in UAE showrooms.
The Americans have been putting out overly-powerful performance cars over the past few years. The top dogs of that crop right now are the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and the Dodge Challenger Demon. What if they went head-to-head at the drag-strip? Someone found the answer.
Chevrolet’s current-gen Corvette will be usurped in about 18 months by the revamped C8 model based on a tradition-shattering mid-engine architecture, but the C7 isn’t quite done just yet. Want proof? Here it is – the just-released top-dog ZR1, backed by performance stats that should send a shiver or two down the collective spines of the boffins at Zuffenhausen, Maranello and Sant’Agata Bolognese.
Chevy has pulled the sheets off the new iteration of their muscle car, the 2019 Camaro which comes with an updated design and new engine options. Chevrolet has also added a turbo-4 cylinder 1LE option to the lineup which will serve as the stepping stone to the range.
At the ongoing 2018 Detroit Motor Show, Chevrolet removed the covers off the 2019 Silverado, debuting an entirely new generation. The new version of the full-size truck comes with a bunch of new engines and an aluminium-steel mixed construction that slashes 204 kg from its weight.
It took less than a couple of weeks for Chevrolet to come up with a convertible version of the bonkers Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 coupe that they unveiled at the 2017 Dubai Motor Show. The 2017 Los Angeles Motor Show became the venue for the reveal of the first-ever convertible Corvette to wear the venerated ZR1 badge since 1970.
Chevrolet introduced the 2019 Corvette ZR1 at a global media event in Dubai, just before the 2017 Dubai Motor Show where UAE residents were the first to get a public look at the supercar-baiting American.
Keeping in mind the current trend of crossovers becoming the most popular type of vehicle among car buyers, Chevrolet recently launched the all-new 2018 Equinox for the Middle East market. Chevrolet will be hoping the Equinox proves to be just as popular as it is in the United States, where it is their best-selling vehicle, only behind the Silverado. It will replace the Korean-built Captiva, which never quite gained a foothold here.
