“We exceed 6 million kilometers traveled per year among the more than a thousand tests carried out in the GM Proving Ground. With this, in six months it is possible to simulate the wear and tear that a car would suffer if it were driven for 15 years under normal conditions, or the equivalent of 240,000 kilometers,” explains Leandro Couto, director of the General Motors Cruz Alta Test Center.
According to the executive, each test has a specific reason, such as the thermal camera, where the vehicle faces temperatures ranging from -30 ºC to +80 ºC, to guarantee that all the equipment works whatever the situation. On the proving ground, the car is also subjected to extreme conditions that the consumer may face, including flooding and skidding due to a slippery road.

The characteristics of the product have not yet been made official, everything seems to indicate that it will be powered by it 1.2-liter turbocharged gasoline engine with 132 horsepower currently offered by the Tracker.
