According to the manufacturer, the new cross it will basically have a "factory tuning". In other words, it will bet on style, with skirts, deflectors and larger wheels with a more imposing design.

However, despite the distinct look, it is important to remember that the models adapted for this special version do not offer an ?upgrade? in performance. This was even the case of the Onyx RS, which debuted the sports line in the Brazilian market in 2020 with its peppery design as its main appeal.

S10 Z71
After the 2021 chip crisis, the only model that continued in GM production was the Pickup S10, which ended up becoming its flagship. Therefore, it was not surprising that the automaker chose Brazil to present the unprecedented version Z71, with a more adventurous proposal.
In this sense, the pickup will debut in the market with a preparation for the off-road, but not just visual. The model will have high suspension, all-terrain tires, among other adjustments.
