2 transmissions? Like the not all black interior and retro dash layout.

 

[OVERKILL]

Boy, they've definitely gone full BMW/Mercedes on that dash. Round Mercedes-esque side vents, centre vents and controls straight out of a BMW.

 

[dishdude]

I like it, wish it had a 2.0T/9 speed option.

 

[JHZR2]

Not bad. I like the white roof. No hybrid?

 

[demarpaint]

Not bad.

 

[JeffKeryk]

Maybe a little Toyota-ish? Not bad by any stretch....

 

[PF52]

Round Mercedes-esque side vents....

Really? I thought they looked like the ones we had in our '68 Impala.

 

[fantastic]

I'm digging it.. This is the three cylinder turbo I think? This will serve a lower cost point for the new car buyers.

BMWs aren't on my radar but do think the HVAC controls looking like an AM push button radio is kinda cool.

FYI, I am not sure if GM is supplying the CVT or not, but there seems to be a pattern here with the GM crossover and SUVs that offer AWD. I believe the Trailblazer and Trax have the same relative offering. If you get the AWD model, then you get a conventional transmission vs the CVT with the FWD model.

Trax is FWD and has a 6-speed auto, not a CVT.

I wonder too why they are doing the FWD/CVT and AWD/AT combo across multiple models. Packaging differences? Reliability? A subtle upsell to AWD for those that don’t trust CVTs?

Jatco (aka Nissan) provides the current/ past GM CVT's. No idea going forward?

OP says 4 cylinder.

OP says 4 cylinder.

Pretty sure they're referring to the "Previous Gen". Thanks though.

Looks very nice and similar to my new Toyota RAV 4 hybrid AWD.

The only reference I could find was the Raiti’s Rides video above. He claims it’s a 4-cylinder.

Based on the published bore and stroke of 74 x 86.6mm it should make it a 4-cylinder though.

Car & Driver also says 4 cylinder.
