Oshawa, Ontario (Monday, February 13, 2017) – Chevrolet is introducing the Redline special edition series on nine cars, trucks and crossovers. Redline will be the broadest cross-portfolio special edition ever offered by the brand.
Redline made its debut in concept form at the 2015 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. Inspired by a strong positive reception from customers and the success of special editions across the portfolio, Chevrolet expanded Redline across nine vehicles in the car, truck and crossover segments:
- Cruze LT (sedan and hatchback)
- Malibu LT
- Camaro LT/SS (coupe and convertible)
- Trax LT
- Equinox LT
- Traverse Premier
- Colorado LT
- Silverado Double Cab LT Z71, Crew Cab LTZ Z71
“The introduction of Redline is another example of Chevrolet listening to its customers” said Laura Pacey, brand director, Chevrolet in Canada. “Customization is a major trend in the industry and with this wide implementation of Redline, Chevrolet will offer our customers even more choice in creating standout cars, trucks and crossovers.”
All Redline vehicles are equipped with black wheels featuring distinct red hash marks, black nameplates with a red outline, blacked-out grilles and black Chevrolet bowtie logos.
From there, vehicles feature design elements tailored to the preferences of those specific customers. For example, the Silverado and Colorado Redlines feature red tow hooks, while Camaro Redline features unique black hash marks above the wheels, a design cue taken from Chevy’s long heritage in motorsports.
“Chevrolet’s portfolio of special edition vehicles has really resonated in the Canadian market,” said Pacey. “Since the introduction of special editions on vehicles like the Silverado, Camaro and Colorado, conquest rates have risen significantly.
Silverado Redlines are the first available for purchase; orders can be placed at Chevrolet dealerships now. Availability will be cadenced, and all Redline vehicles will be available for purchase by the end of 2017 calendar year.
