Chevrolet Reviews
Although Chevrolet cofounder Louis-Joseph Chevrolet was born in Switzerland, the brand that he and business partner William C. Durant founded in 1911 is American through and through. Acquired by General Motors in 1918, Chevy has played a key role in the development of the American auto industry, with classic models like the Corvette and Camaro having rightfully earned their place in the pantheon of automotive legends. Today, Chevrolet remains at the forefront of car design and production, showcasing a dedication to innovation in exciting new vehicles like the Chevy Volt hybrid and Spark minicar. |

Chevrolet Volt
This series-hybrid is powered solely by an electric drive unit, and makes for a great commuter vehicle. Best of all, this four-passenger sedan can be plugged into a standard 120-volt outlet to recharge overnight. |
OCTOBER 2011
Chevrolet Camaro 2SS Convertible
This stylish convertible picks up where the base V6 model above leaves off, throwing in a bunch of little things, and one big thing — a beefy 426-horsepower, 6.2-liter V8 engine that sends the soft top flying from 0-60 in just 5.2 seconds. |

Sonic
Packing in plenty of value with its decently powerful 1.8-liter inline-4, quick handling and smart, no-nonsense instrumentation, the all-new Chevy Sonic hatchback comes as a welcome addition to the subcompact segment. |
JULY 2011
Chevrolet Camaro Convertible
This cool specimen of big American muscle features an attractive and sporty stance alongside an athletic 3.6-liter V6 engine with direct injection. While not a sophisticated ride, the Camaro Convertible is nonetheless fun to drive around town when the weather is warm. |

Chevrolet
Corvette Grand Sport Convertible
Meticulously tested on race tracks before being unleashed on the road, the insanely fast Corvette Grand Sport offers a fine-tuned high-performance ride — and sets a scorching 0-60 time of under 4 seconds. |
JULY 2010
Chevrolet
Spark
Weighing in at a mere 1,905 pounds, this mighty minicar, already on sale in Europe and Asia, is scheduled to be Chevrolet's smallest car to date when it hits American showrooms in late 2010. |

Chevrolet
Cruze
Featuring class-leading fuel economy and a wealth of standard amenities, this city-friendly compact sedan offers great value for a starting price of just $18,000. |
MAY 2010
Chevrolet
Equinox
The attractive new Equinox offers great gas mileage and smart styling at an affordable price. While it won't be winning any street races (or towing heavy cargo with its 2.4-liter, 182-horsepower 4-cylinder), this stylish sport ute nonetheless provides for a comfortable ride with its roomy, well-thought-out interior. |

Chevrolet
Camaro
On hiatus for seven years, this all-new sports coupe is back, framed in a toned body evoking the original pony car. Exciting performance and refined handling characterize the Camaro’s personality, and it is a value compared to its competitors, offering plenty of power for the dollar with decent fuel economy. |
JUNE 2009
Chevrolet
Corvette Coupe
This two-seat coupe is a natural-born entertainer, and is powered by a 430-horsepower V8 engine and shaped with all the sexy curves that scream danger. Firm handling, quality interior appointments and rocket-like 4.2-second 0-60 mph acceleration are quick to remind riders why the Corvette's an American icon. |

Chevrolet
Cobalt XFE
This gas-sipping sedan provides excellent fuel economy without sacrificing any power thanks to Chevy's ultra-efficient Ecotec engine design. Added amenities such as speed sensitive electric power steering and OnStar's Safe & Sound plan help to make the Cobalt XFE one of the best deals in its class. |
NOVEMBER
2008
Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
Based off the Z06, this American supercar coupe has a top speed of 205 mph and comes with a formidable 638-horsepower V8 engine, a close-ratio six-speed manual transmission, all-wheel ceramic disc brakes, and standard magnetic selective ride control. |

Traverse LTZ
This roomy seven-passenger crossover is thriftier with gas than most in its class and features options such as ultrasonic rear parking assist and heat/cool-capable powered front seats.

Chevrolet
Malibu LTZ
Combining reliability with elegance, this five-passenger American sedan is packed with value. Dependable features, like its 3.6-liter DOHC V6 engine, four-wheel independent suspension and OnStar Gen 7, are complemented by luxuries that include a leather-appointed interior and an XM Satellite radio. |

Chevrolet Aveo LT
For drivers who are looking for a way to run around town but also have fuel economy in mind, this Korean-built econobox fits the bill—the Aveo gets up to 23 mpg on city thoroughfares, and provides riders with a well-laid out, spacious interior.

Chevrolet Corvette Z06
This
race-bred performance vehicle’s LS7 engine
and 505 horsepower make it the real deal for drivers
who feel a need for speed. While the Z06 truly shows
off during a few laps around the track, its 16 mpg
city and 26 mpg highway mean this sporty 2-door can
also hit the open road. |

Avalanche LTZ
Want
an SUV, but need a rough-and-tumble truck bed? Look
no further than the Chevy Avalanche, a "best of
both worlds" sort of vehicle based on GM's new
full-sized SUV platform. Comfortable and luxurious,
the Avalanche is great for long highway jaunts or crawling
through a work site. |
JUNE
2006
| Chevrolet
Tahoe
This
new full-size SUV is one giant step in the right direction
from its predecessor, both in build quality and environmentally.
The V8 engine can run on E85 Ethanol-blended gasoline
and active fuel management deactivates four cylinders
at highway speeds. |

Chevrolet Malibu Sedan LTZ
Comfy and affordable, the Malibu Sedan
LTZ packs some extra features and comes with a reasonable
price tag. |
DECEMBER 2005
| Chevrolet
Impala LT
With
a base price checking in at under $20,000, the Impala
is great for someone watching their budget but looking
for a comfortable ride (and that extra seat in front!) |

Chevrolet HHR
Retro
is in. As manufacturers add new models to their collection,
they find that overall the retro look is becoming more
and more popular. Chevrolet’s response to this
new trend is the HHR, introduced at the Los
Angeles Auto Show in 2005. It’s a lovable
and practical automobile, and yes, it comes in funky
colors. |
NOVEMBER
2004
| Chevrolet
Corvette Coupe
As
much as this new Corvette has the looks of its older
siblings, underneath the skin, it’s completely
new. In fact, there are so many transformations, such
as making the car narrower and shorter, that it philosophically
challenged the engineers and Corvette aficionados at
first, but in the end it works beautifully. |

Chevy
SSR Super Sport Roadster
In
the 1973 George Lucas film American Graffiti, Bob Falfa
(played by Harrison Ford) drives a yellow, retro, hot
rod truck that enables him to pick up girls and win
drag races. With this 2005 Chevy SSR, you get a similar
feeling of fame and power. |
JULY
2004
| Chevrolet
Equinox FWD LT
The
race to capture a share of the SUV market is very much
on. Chevrolet adds to it an entry-level, simple but
functional option with great styling. A base model hovers
around $22,000 and for that, you get a lot of modular
cargo space, a V6 engine and a comfortable ride. |
