The Chevrolet Bolt EV has been earning rave reviews since it was first introduced for the 2017 model year, thanks to its 238-mile range on a single charge, roomy interior, and affordable price tag. And thanks to some generous incentives this month, the Bolt has gotten even more affordable with some of the lowest prices since it was introduced. Every Bolt in our inventory is currently priced at least 15% below MSRP, so that’s some big upfront savings on top of all the gas money you’ll be saving once you drive one home. Or if you’d prefer…

MotorTrend magazine recently took the Chevrolet Colorado and its competitors in the midsize truck segment to a farm to put them to the test doing what trucks do best – hard work. Going up against the Toyota Tacoma, Ford Ranger, and Honda Ridgeline, the Colorado shined in tests of both highway manners and work-truck capability. On the highway, the Colorado earned praise for its ride, refinement, and responsive transmission. At work on the farm, the Colorado scored points for its roomy bed and towing capability. All four members of MotorTrend’s test team unanimously named the Chevy...

For months now, we’ve seen camouflaged test versions of what is expected to be a redesigned Chevy Trax out on the road. This latest round of spy photos shows the least camouflage we’ve seen yet, hinting that the new Trax may be ready to make its big debut soon. The new Trax borrows a lot of design cues from its big brother in Chevy’s crossover lineup, the Blazer. The front end , rear spoiler, and side character lines mimic the Blazer’s sporty feel. General Motors has not released any official word on when the 2020 Chevy Trax…

When the Chevy Silverado was redesigned for the 2019 model year, we knew that a new look for the Chevy Suburban wouldn’t be far behind. A convoy of camouflaged Suburbans was recently spotted on the road in Michigan with some exciting clues as to what’s in store for Chevrolet’s biggest SUV.
