The Chevrolet Volt has earned a reputation as a car that provides the best of both worlds – 53 electric-powered miles to keep short trips green, with a gas powered engine to take over and eliminate the range anxiety that comes with an all-electric vehicle.

The Volt will also…

Earlier this year, we learned that the Chevrolet Malibu would be getting a great, refreshed look for the 2019 model year, as well as the addition of an RS trim level. Now rumors are swirling that the 2019 Malibu may also offer a diesel powertrain option.

Earlier this year, we learned that the Chevrolet Cruze will be getting a refreshed appearance for the 2019 model year. Details are starting to trickle out about what changes will be made, including updates to some existing features like the Cruze’s Stop-Start Technology. This feature increases fuel efficiency by shutting off the engine when the car idles, like when it’s stopped at a red light. For 2019, Chevrolet has added a button that allows drivers to enable or disable this feature based on their driving needs. If your commute includes only light traffic and a few stoplights, enabling…

When the 2019 Chevy Silverado arrives in our showroom later this year, it will boast best-in-class cargo volume, box depth, box length at floor, plus a segment-leading 12 fixed tie-downs and exclusive power up/down tailgate.

We are still eagerly awaiting official word from General Motors that a new mid-engine Chevrolet Corvette is coming soon, but in the meantime we have more spy footage. We’ve seen heavily camouflaged test versions on roads across the country for over a year now – this time it was spotted doing high altitude testing in Colorado. Car and Driver recently speculated that this new Corvette could be capable of 800 or even 1000 horsepower, depending on engine configurations.
