Avalanche LT1 4x4 in Silver Birch Metallic
| |
|
|
Chevy Avalanche is the industry's most flexible utility vehicle, combining the passenger-comfort attributes of an SUV
with the cargo capability of a truck. It is based on GM's full-size SUV platform that features segment-leading fuel
economy and flex-fuel capability, a sharp, precise driving feel, interior refinement and notable quietness it also has
a maximum towing capacity of 8,100 pounds (3,674 kg).
Avalanche's efficiency is enhanced in '09 with the new, fuel-saving six-speed automatic transmission that is standard on
all models. The advanced, Hydra-Matic 6L80 transmission helps deliver improved highway fuel mileage by incorporating two
overdrive gears (fifth and sixth gears) that allow the engine to operate at a lower speed on the highway. Less fuel is
used when the engine rpm is lowered, enhancing fuel economy. The lower engine speed also contributes to a quieter
passenger environment.
"There's no other vehicle that offers the spaciousness and versatility of the Avalanche," said Ed Peper, Chevrolet
general manager. "With technologies such as Active Fuel Management and its high towing rating, the Avalanche delivers
effortless capability with surprising efficiency."
New technologies that enhance safety are also added to the Avalanche for 2009, including Bluetooth wireless phone
connectivity with specific steering wheel controls, and an available rear camera system that can be displayed in either
the inside review mirror or the Navigation display depending on radio choice. These new features complement an already
strong package of standard safety items, such as head curtain side-impact air bags and StabiliTrak electronic stability
control system.
