The combination of improved performance and increased fuel economy provided by six-speed transmissions has contributed to consumer demand for many of Chevrolet’s best sellers, including:
Chevrolet Malibu, 33 mpg highway
Fifty-four percent of 2010 Malibus sold are equipped with a six-speed automatic and an Ecotec 2.4L direct-injected engine that delivers 33 miles per gallon on the highway. Through April, 2010, consumer demand for the fuel-efficient Malibu has resulted in seven consecutive months of retail year-over-year sales increases.
Chevrolet Equinox, 32 mpg highway
Eighty percent of 2010 Equinox crossovers sold are equipped with the standard six-speed automatic and Ecotec 2.4L direct-injected engine with variable valve timing, delivering 32 miles per gallon on the highway. Through April, 2010, consumer demand for the fuel-efficient Equinox has resulted in 10 consecutive months of year-over-year retail sales increases.
Chevrolet Camaro, 29 mpg highway
The 2010 Camaro is available with four powertrain combinations: a 312 horsepower 3.6L, direct-injected V-6 that delivers 29 miles per gallon on the highway with either the six-speed manual or automatic; and a 6.2L V-8 that delivers up to 426 horsepower and 25 miles per gallon on the highway with either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. The combination of power and performance has helped Camaro outsell its closest competitor, the Ford Mustang, for 11 consecutive months.
