Sequel

It’s fast. Smooth. And the only exhaust coming out of its tailpipe is harmless steam. The hydrogen fuel cell is certainly green, but to be successful, our designers also know that it has to power a car built to handle every day demands. As a real world test, they created the Sequel concept car — the first hydrogen-powered crossover SUV.

Extraordinary made ordinary

From air conditioning to sat nav and all-wheel drive, the Sequel has every feature you expect from a family SUV. But the real magic is under the floor. That’s where you’ll find a fuel cell stack that converts hydrogen to electricity, driving an electric motor with a top speed of 90 mph and a 0 to 60 mph time of just 10 seconds. The Sequel may look like a typical Chevrolet, but to the designers working on this concept, making its cutting-edge technology appear ordinary will be the biggest triumph of all.

The power of progress

Reflecting on the progress made by the Sequel, GM research and development vice president Larry Burns commented, “Sequel is a better car in nearly every way. Quicker, more sure footed, easier to handle and build, while emitting only water vapour. It proves a new DNA for vehicles that is viable for the future.”
