Based on the Tracker, with which it shares a platform and a 1.2-liter turbo engine with 130 horsepower. His arrival in our country from Brazil is more than confirmed for the second half of the year.
Chevrolet Colorado
The third generation of the Chevrolet Colorado is about to debut in our country. It stands out that the V6 mechanics are abandoned in favor of a 2.7-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder block that, at least in the United States, offers two power outputs. The entry-level announces 237 hp and 259 lb-ft of torque, while in the most powerful configuration it announces 310 hp and 390 lb-ft of torque, although in the ZR2 variant, the torque increases to 430 lb-ft. Upon arrival in Mexico, it will position itself as a strong rival for Toyota Tacoma and Nissan Frontier V6 PRO-4X.

It is powered by Ford’s fourth-generation hybrid powertrain, which includes an all-new 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle hybrid engine and electronic continuously variable transmission. Hopefully this year will be good.
Ford Ranger
The new Ranger was developed in Australia where they focused on creating a better truck in every way. The styling is very similar to Maverick and Lobo. It would be interesting to know which would be the engines chosen for our country, but it will surely have diesel engines. By the way, this generation will share a platform with the new Volkswagen Amarok. It is probable that it will arrive in Mexico at the end of this fiscal year.
Ford Wolf Raptor R
This is the extreme version of the already powerful Lobo Raptor. The heart of the Lobo Raptor R is the supercharged 5.2-liter V8 engine that makes up to 700 horsepower and 640 pound-feet of torque, taken directly from the Shelby GT500. It has a long list of improvements in the cooling system, 4×4, as well as suspensions. Without a doubt, a great vehicle that could make us forget the RAM TRX.

JAC Frison T8
By 2023, JAC Frison launches some design tweaks in both its Frison T8 and Diesel 4×4 version. The aesthetic work is visible in the new matt black grille, glossy black JAC logo, matt black door handles, chrome punt logo and black/aluminum finish wheels. The changes are merely cosmetic, so the mechanical options remain intact for both versions on the market. Capacities and power figures are also retained.
gmc canyon
The 2023 GMC Canyon differs from the Chevrolet Colorado thanks to a very aggressive and very well defined styling. Also, and like the Sierra, the Canyon will now offer AT4 variants with a 4×4 orientation and the traditional Denali, with a focus on luxury. It will use the most powerful version of the new 2.7-liter turbocharged L4 that delivers 310 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox. Sure there will be 2WD or 4WD versions.

The transmission is a 5 speed manual.
Peugeot e-Partner

Among these improvements that should be applied during the first half of the year, the incorporation of a 1.0-liter turbo three-cylinder engine capable of delivering 120 Hp and 148 lb-ft of torque stands out. Also, this block is expected to match a CVT automatic gearbox. Both elements are already mounted on the FIAT Pulse and hopefully could be incorporated into the RAM 700 before the end of the year.
RAM ProMaster
The large cargo van of the brand receives aesthetic and equipment improvements, but maintaining the practicality and robustness that characterize it.

volkswagen amarok
The new Amarok is based on the platform called T6.2 that it shares with the new Ranger, but in the case of the German pickup it will only be made in South Africa. Although it has different diesel engines, it is very likely that in our country it maintains its profile as a niche vehicle, which is why it will only be offered in a Highline version. By the way, Mexico will be the only market in America that will have this truck.
Volkswagen eCrafter
Volkswagen E-Crafter Cargo 3.5 tons. Panel Van will arrive in Mexico with an electrical block capable of generating 100 kW of power (136 hp) and 214 lb-ft of torque, which allows it to move at a speed of 80 km/h.

Volkswagen Saveiro
The Volkswagen Saveiro will soon receive an update that will allow it to adopt a design language that is very much in tune with the brand’s latest releases. However, the biggest novelty would be the adoption of security elements such as stability control. Surely in Mexico, we will see these improvements before the end of the year.
