Pehea e hiki ai iā GM ke kūleʻa i kahi i hāʻule ʻole ai me Holden: No ke aha e hiki ai iā GMSV ke hele uila ma Australia me Chevrolet, Hummer a me Cadillac

He ʻoihana nui ka Chevrolet Silverado EV ma Australia.

ʻO ka manaʻo o General Motors e pani iā ​​Holden ua manaʻo ʻia e kōkua i ka hōʻailona e wehe i ka wā e hiki mai ana ma Australia.

Ua hoʻomaka ka pilikua ʻAmelika e hoʻolele i kāna kaʻa uila (EV) ma US, me GMC Hummer i hui pū ʻia e ka Chevrolet Silverado EV hou, Chevrolet Blazer EV, a me Chevrolet Equinox EV - me nā mea hou aʻe e hiki mai ana ma 2025. Wahi a ka lono, ke ulu nei ka Camaro coupe i kahi sedan haʻuki uila a me SUV premium, ʻo Cadillac Lyriq.

ʻO kēia hui pū ʻana o nā EV, nā SUV a me nā kaʻa hana e like me ka mea kūpono no ka mākeke Australia e makemake nei i kēia mau māhele mākeke, a ʻo General Motors Specialty Vehicles (GMSV) kūpono loa e hoʻolako i kēia mau EV hou i ka Underground inā ʻae ke alakaʻi o US.

ʻOiai ua hikiwawe loa ka GMSV e hōʻoia i ka mea o kēia mau hiʻohiʻona (inā loaʻa) e hāʻawi ʻia ma Australia, aia kahi hihia no lākou ʻehā. 

He mea maʻalahi ka Hummer a me Silverado, e hui pū ana i ko mākou aloha i nā kaʻa nui a me nā SUV (e hāʻawi ʻo GMC i nā koho ʻelua no ka Hummer) me kahi mana mana noʻonoʻo. 

Ke kūʻai aku nei ʻo GM iā Hummer ma ka ʻāina i ka hopena o 2000s i ka wā e hoʻāʻo ai e hoʻonoho iā ia ma ke ʻano he inoa premium ma ka ʻaoʻao o Saab a me Cadillac. Aia paha ia ma mua o kona manawa no ka mea ʻo ka liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi o ka hiʻohiʻona H3 nui loa no nā poʻe he nui. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole kēia he pilikia e like me ka manaʻo o ka poʻe Australia i kēia manawa "ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi" i ka wā e pili ana i nā SUV.

Hiki ke ʻōlelo like ʻia no nā utes: ʻo ka petrol Silverados e hōʻoia i ka loaʻa ʻana o kēia mau utes nui ʻAmelika. 

No ka Chevy Blazer a me Equinox, he mea pono kēia mau SUV no kēlā me kēia hōʻailona hoʻohanohano ponoʻī e makemake ana e kūʻai aku i nā kaʻa ma kēia ʻāina, i hāʻawi ʻia i ko mākou makemake pau ʻole no nā SUV. He mea nui e hoʻomaopopo ʻaʻole pili kēia mau SUV i ka Equinox poina a me nā Chevrolets ʻē aʻe i kūʻai ʻia me nā hōʻailona Holden i kona mau lā hope.

ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua kahiko ka Equinox a ʻaʻole i ka pae like me Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5, Hyundai Tucson a me nā mea ʻē aʻe i hoʻokūkū ai.

ʻO ka neʻe ʻana i ka electrification ʻo ia ka holo ʻana o ka Blazer a me Equinox hou ma ka paepae Ultium like me Silverado, Hummer a me Lyriq. E loaʻa nō hoʻi iā lākou nā loko o kēia wā, ʻo ia kekahi o nā ʻōlelo hoʻohewa nui loa o nā hiʻohiʻona Chevrolet i kūʻai ʻia ma aneʻi e Holden. ʻO kēia ka mea e hiki ai iā GMSV ke hoʻonoho iā lākou ma ke ʻano he makana ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma ke kumu kūʻai ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi, pono ia e hoʻohui i kekahi hihia ʻoihana.

A i ʻole, inā makemake ʻo GMSV e noʻonoʻo pono i ka premium, e hoʻolauna i ka brand Cadillac me ka Lyriq kaila he koho ʻē aʻe.

ʻO ka mea i manaʻo ʻia ʻo "Camaro sports sedan," ʻo kēia puka uila ʻehā, e like me kā mākou i kākau mua ai, ʻo ia ka hope uhane o ka lehulehu Holden Commodore, aia kahi wahi palupalu no ka brand Lion.

ʻO ke kī i kēlā me kēia hoʻolālā GMSV e hoʻolauna i kēia mau hiʻohiʻona ʻo ke kumukūʻai a me ke kūlana ma ka mākeke ākea. E like me kā mākou i ʻike ai me kēlā me kēia hōʻailona ʻē aʻe, ʻaʻole i kokoke nā kaʻa uila i ka parity o ke kumukūʻai me nā hiʻohiʻona maʻamau o ka mīkini hoʻoheheʻe kūloko (ICE). 

E pilikia ana ʻo Holden i ke kūʻai aku ʻana i ke kaʻa uila Equinox ma kahi hōʻailona nui ma luna o kona kinoea like. ʻAʻole paha e hāʻawi ʻo GMSV i nā hiʻohiʻona koʻikoʻi e like me ka gasoline-powered Equinox, no laila hiki iā ia ke kūʻai aku i nā kaʻa uila Chevy hou me ka ʻole o ka hoʻohālikelike pololei ʻana i nā hiʻohiʻona haʻahaʻa. Akā, hiki iā ia ke hoʻokūkū me ka Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 a me Tesla Model Y.

ʻO ka pilikia Holden i loaʻa ʻole iā GMSV ka mōʻaukala. Loaʻa iā Holden kahi hoʻoilina hōʻailona nui, no laila ʻo ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e hoʻolauna i nā hiʻohiʻona EV pipiʻi (e like me ka hana me ka Volt pōkole) he paʻakikī mau. Manaʻo ka poʻe i ka nui o ke kumukūʻai e pono ai ʻo Holden, no laila ʻo ka neʻe ʻana i nā hiʻohiʻona haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa, ʻoi aku ka nui o ke kumu kūʻai he hana paʻakikī loa ia no kahi hui nui.

Ma kekahi ʻaoʻao, ua kūkulu ʻia ʻo GMSV mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻokani niche ma ka mākeke kūloko, e kālele ana i kāna mau hiʻohiʻona kūʻokoʻa - ʻo Silverado a me Corvette - e kūʻai aku ana ma nā palena koʻikoʻi i nā helu liʻiliʻi.

ʻO kēia ke kumu hoʻohālike e hoʻohana ai ʻo GM me kāna mau hiʻohiʻona EV - haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa akā kiʻekiʻe. ʻOiai ʻo ia ke ʻano ʻaʻole e hana nā hiʻohiʻona āpau a mākou i helu ai ma kēia hiʻohiʻona, aia nō ke kumu no, e ʻōlelo ai, he Silverado EV, he Hummer SUV, a me kekahi o ka Equinox/Blaze/Lyriq e hana i ʻekolu o nā kaʻa uila. nā koho ma lalo o ka hae GMSV.

I kēia manawa, hiki i kēia ke lilo i hypothetical a ʻoiaʻiʻo ke hana maikaʻi nei ʻo GMSV me kāna Silverado / Corvette duo, akā i ka hala ʻana o ka manawa a hoʻomau ʻo GM i ka uila i ka US, e huli ka manaʻo i Australia. Ke hiki mai kēlā manawa, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o GMSV ma mua o Holden.
