WINDHOEK – Chevrolet is offering a limited edition of 300 UteForce Edition vehicles built at the Struandale plant in Port Elizabeth.
The Chevrolet Utility 1.4 UteForce limited edition, has 15-inch gunmetal alloy wheels, a stainless steel sports bar, special black UteForce Edition decals, a tonneau cover and a standard audio system.
According to the spin doctors at Chevrolet South Africa, the UteForce Edition “pays homage to Chevrolet’s work in the upliftment of underprivileged communities.”
As to how this vehicle uplifts underprivileged communities? Here is what the Chevrolet public relations machinery spit out: “The idea behind the concept was to become an enabling platform from which skilled experts from various backgrounds could launch sustainable community upliftment projects.
“The Chevrolet Utility has proven to be a reliable and trustworthy companion delivering everything from gardening equipment, plants and soil while covering thousands of kilometres over the last four years to get the UteForce team to where they are needed the most.”
Thus the new Utility UteForce Edition is only available exclusively in Vector Blue, Athenian White or striking Maranello Red.
“The UteForce Edition reinforces the important role which the Chevrolet Utility plays in the South African market, where to date in 2014 Utility sales have passed the 12 300 units mark. The new UteForce Edition is sure to be a hit with trendy consumers who value its unique style, and with a retail price of just R160 900, is friendly on the wallet as well,” said Chevrolet Brand Manager at General Motors South Africa (GMSA), Tim Hendon.
