GM is going to unveil the smallest GMC ever, the Granite Concept!



At this year's Detroit Auto Show, GM is going to unveil the smallest GMC ever, the Granite Concept.
"Granite was conceived as a new type of vehicle from GMC - one that could stretch people's ideas of what a GMC can be," said Lisa Hutchinson, product marketing director for GMC. "We call it an 'urban utility vehicle' and our goal was redefining what the GMC name could mean to a new generation of customers looking for both bold design and functionality."
The Granite is a full two inches shorter than the GMC Terrain and is aimed at young professionals. The concept is powered by GM's new turbocharged 1.4L four-cylinder engine mated to a six-speed transmission. In the Chevy Cruze the engine puts out138 horsepower and 148 lb-ft. of torque. The Granite concept features a four-door design with suicide doors. Since the concept doesn't have a B-pillar there is easier access to the passenger area.
GM hasn't announced if the Granite concept is destined for production.
