The New Avalanche With New Unique Features
The Chevrolet Avalanche is a fourdoor sport utility truck unleashed in 2002 by Chevrolet. It was launched to give the public an advance look at the next generation of front fascia designs for the entire GM line. The name Avalanche is derived from the dangerous and sudden collapse of mountain snowpacks known as the avalanche.
The Chevy Avalanche has been redesigned and reengineered for 2007 and had become far more superior to its predecessor. While a carryover from 2007 comes the 2008 Avalanche.
The 2008 Avalanche is a 4door up to 6passenger full size pickup available in 10 trims ranging from the LS 2WD to the LTZ 4WD. The LS 2WD is equipped with a standard 5.3liter V8 320horsepower engine that achieves 15mpg in the city and 21mpg on the highway. The LTZ 4WD is equipped with a standard 5.3liter V8 310horsepower flexible fuel engine that achieves 11mpg in the city and 15mpg on the highway. A 4speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard on both trims. Despite its improved performance reviewers find a few complain about its fuelthirsty engine.
The Avalanche had always been one of a kind. Most find its exterior quite good but not especially a headturner for its class. It features a removable rear window and exclusive “midgate” that can be lowered into the cabin to provide additional cargocarrying capabilities. This powerdome hood and redesigned lighting elements also tells us that this is an Avalanche and not a regular pickup.
Car parts like oversized wheel flares and satin chrome door handles grille insert mirror camps and tubular assist steps are special features that add up to the appeal of the Avalanche.
Though it is luxurious and comfortable but it cabin isnt good enough to be a part of the topthree in terms of SUV interior quality. It can seat up to six passengers. It is constructed from highquality materials with much more comfortable seats and an instrument panel that is positioned perfectly for easy visibility. It is wellequipped with many standard features such as power windows power door locks keyless entry a single CD/MP3 player a power driver’s seat and cruise control.
Standard Avalanche safety equipment includes antilock disc brakes stability control GM’s OnStar emergency communications system and a fulllength sidecurtain airbag system with a rollover sensor. According to usnews.rankingsandreviews.com the 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche does very well in federal government crash tests. It earned five stars for driver and front passenger protection in frontal impacts and five stars for the front and rears seat in side impacts.
