Chevrolet Overview:
For 2009, Chevrolet introduces all-new vehicles as well as redesigning several cars in its vast fleet. One of the brand-new editions is the three-row crossover SUV, the Traverse. Similar to the Saturn Outlook and GMC Acadia, the Traverse has three trims and features a 3.6-liter, 286-horsepower engine. Chevy is hoping that the addition of the Silverado Hybrid will lure buyer’s wary or poor gas mileage. The Silverado Hybrid breaks the traditional truck mold and gets a significant boost in fuel economy. Expect to get 20 MPG in the city and 22 MPG on the highway. Chevy’s midsize sedan, the Malibu is coming off of a redesign last year and boasts three trim levels. The Malibu Hybrid is another Chevy that looks to the future with a more efficient engine that gets 26 MPG in the city and 34 MPG on the highway. Chevy’s third foray into the hybrid market involves the Tahoe Hybrid, which get the same efficiency as the Silverado Hybrid. For those looking to go small and save money at the pump, the entry-level Chevrolet Aveo sedan or Aveo5 hatchback wagon get a new engine and are extremely affordable and get up to 34 MPG on the highway. Those who are looking for a little more fun can zip around town in a sporty compact Cobalt coupe or sedan that get 33 MPG on the highway. The Cobalt gets variable valve timing and standard OnStar communication system in all trims. Medium-sized families will love the aforementioned Chevrolet Malibu or may wish to step up to the strong-selling, full-size Impala sedan. Safety becomes standard in the Impala with antilock brakes, traction control and side-impact airbags. Parents may also enjoy the coolness of the retro-inspired, boxy HHR (Heritage High Roof) crossover wagon. The HHR gets improved power and more safety features. Meanwhile the HHR Panel version is aimed for commercial use with 57.7 cubic feet of storage space. Soccer moms will be able to carry up to six kids in the unique Uplander van/SUV. Small business owners or large families will find the Express full-size van to offer ample passenger room and a variety of configurations. The Express is available in 1500, 2500 and 3500 duty levels and can fit up to 15 passengers. SUV drivers will find four Chevrolet models to choose from, including the compact Equinox crossover, the midsize TrailBlazer, the full-size Tahoe, and the gargantuan Suburban 1500 and 2500. The wait is finally over. The Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is here with more raw power than ever before. The ZR1 infuses the Corvette Z06 structure with a 6.2-liter, 638-horsepower V-8. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
