The Chevrolet Bolt EV was recently selected as Edmunds Top Rated Electric Car for 2023. You read that right. This small, electric bow-tied hatchback was deemed too “impossible to ignore,” by the car review website that it simply couldn’t go unnoticed. Edmunds said that utility, handy features, a healthy range rating, and a fantastically low price of entry” made it the obvious choice for their Top Rated Electric Car for 2023.

While the Bolt EV isn’t the most prestigious car out there, nor is it made to weave in and out through the freeway, it doesn’t need to be because that’s not what makes it unique. Instead, the Bolt combines all your basic needs with driving, utility, and style, ultimately providing an economical package deal.

Starting off, one of the best qualities of the Bolt EV is its affordability. With an MSRP of $27,495 (plus destination fee) for the base level, this car is one of the most accessible cars to buy for the current model year, especially one that is electric. For the price of just one base Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo, you can likely purchase several Bolts. It even outranks the Tesla Model 3 by $20,000. This car is a complete package deal, proving to have remarkable value on the inside out.

The 2023 Bolt has an EPA-estimated range of 259 miles, a number which Edmunds whipped by 19 miles in their real-world range test. This car has more range than other rivals, with much larger batteries than its 66-kWh unit. One might also be stunned by how efficient the hatch is. The American review site said that 54 out of 62 cars ran through the same loop, and the Bolt required less energy. They also mentioned that the car would be more suitable for longer trips than similarly priced competitors such as the Mini Cooper SE and Mazda MX-30.

Moving on to its usefulness—the newest Bolt is an incredibly functional hatch. It’s clear that it means business when providing a family of four with function and space. There are plenty of practical compartments and useful areas in the vehicle while leveraging its tiny body for tight parking spaces. On top of this, the electric powertrain brings the magic to small cars usually powered by regular unfined gas engines. This clean 65 kWh lithium-ion battery results in a smooth and well-mannered ride, one that isn’t common to find in this class.

Blending its effectiveness, high range rating, and accessibility, buyers get an EV that’s nearly guaranteed to bring them more life than any gas guzzler has even been able to do. The ownership of the 2023 Bolt is one that very few buyers will regret, if any, Particularly those working with very tight budgets. The latest Bolt won Edmunds’s s Top Rated Electric Car award without being flashy or a showoff on the highway but simply arresting the basics.

GM Plans New Overhaul For Chevy Express Van

0 By
Posted in Chevrolet, Chevrolet dealer, Chevy, Chevy dealers

General Motors (GM) has big plans for the Chevy Express van. The full-size van has been around for some time, replacing the Chevy van in 1996. Since then, GM has made some changes and improvements but never anything significant. Despite this, the Chevy Express has continued to serve as a reliable and capable van. Now the time has come for the Chevy Express to see an all-new makeover. The full-size van will receive a new redesign and changes under the hood. It will still have a combustion engine, however. This may be surprising as Chevy has been leaning into electric vehicles lately with its all-new Chevy Silverado EV and Colorado EV. While the decision to remain with a combustion engine may seem counterintuitive, Chevy ensures that it keeps the qualities that make the Chevy Express a reliable van.

Chevy Express Will See New Changes

General Motors (GM) will make changes to the Chevy Express. The full-size van will receive a new redesign as well as some new changes underneath the hood. Having remained relatively unchanged since 1996, GM feels it is time that its passenger van receives some improvements to help it stay relevant among the competition. For one, the Chevy Express will ride on a revised platform called GMT 620. Details remain under wraps, but with a new platform, it’s expected that the van will see further upgrades to its powertrain. Production of the new Chevy Express is likely to occur at the GM Wentzville plant in Missouri. 

Additional changes to the Chevy Express will affect the overall design of the full-size van. Again, details have yet to be released, so we’re stuck with the expectation that we will see a brand-new Express sometime in the future. Currently, the Chevy Express provides seating for up to 15 people and offers plenty of room for equipment. The van features a full-frame design and offers several configuration options. Owners can opt for cargo, passenger, or cutaway styles. Each offers distinctive features that are tailored to the needs of the owner.

For its engine options, the Chevy Express offers either a 4.3L V6 engine or a 6.6L V8 engine. The 4.3L delivers 276 horsepower and 298 lb-ft of torque, while the 6.6L delivers 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque. The full-size van also offers up to 4,280 pounds of payload capacity. For safety, the Express features side blind zone alerts, lane departure warnings, forward collision alerts, and a rear vision camera. The 2023 Chevy Express starts at an MSRP of $38,100 (plus destination fee). While we do not know much about the new Express, GM will likely add additional features to assist drivers. For now, we will be staying tuned for more information.

The 2024 E-Ray Makes A Dramatic Entrance On The Corvette’s 70th Birthday

2024 E-Ray Debut

On the 70th anniversary of the Chevy Corvette, first introduced at Motorama in New York City, the automaker returned to show off its metamorphosed fully-electric version. Spinning off the Stingray moniker, the 2024 E-Ray is an all-wheel-drive (AWD) monster with a dynamic 6.2L LT2 Small Block V-8.

“In 1953, the enthusiastic reaction to the Chevrolet Corvette concept kicked off seven decades of passion, performance and American ingenuity,” said Mark Reuss, General Motors president. “E-Ray, as the first electrified, all-wheel-drive Corvette, takes it a step further and expands the promise of what Corvette can deliver.”

This new Vette, which comes in either a removable roof coupe or hardtop convertible, uses its electric power to augment the driving experience with a fierce straight-line performance, all-weather protection, and race-car-like capabilities that succeed thanks to eAWD.

The E-Ray is the only sports vehicle that matches two separate propulsion systems to provide a naturally aspirated V-8 power with swift responsiveness powered by eAWD.

“Corvette has been a halo for Chevrolet since 1953,” said Scott Bell, vice president of Chevrolet. “E-Ray’s unprecedented blend of confidence, luxury performance, sophistication, and style provides a new reason for more people to experience the Corvette.”  

The Stingray E-Ray is the fastest production Vette in history, scoring a 2.5-second 0-60 mph time before zooming through the quarter-mile in 10.5 seconds.

“Corvettes must provide an exhilarating driving experience on backroads and tracks, and E-Ray nails it,” said Tadge Juechter, chief executive engineer, Corvette. “The electrification technology enhances the feeling of control in all conditions, adding an unexpected degree of composure.”

The 6.2L LT2 Small Block V-8 is responsible for the high-intensity drive, producing 495 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. It works with an electric motor that channels an extra 160 horsepower and 125 lb-ft of torque to the front wheels using a 1.9 kWh battery pack. Ultimately, this amplified Corvette produces a combined 655 horsepower from the electric motor and V-8 engine.

Upscale Design  

The appearance of the E-Ray keeps its sporty and performance-centered style from the previous Corvettes. The car also maintains its wide-body Z06 proportions, with fitting wide wheels that allow for better torque delivery. The alloy wheels even have an excellent twisted five-spoke star design that solely belongs to the E-Ray.

“There’s never been a Corvette like E-Ray, and its sophisticated design reflects that,” said Phil Zak, executive design director, Global Chevrolet. “It starts with the body color trim, which draws your full attention to the exotic proportions of the E-Ray. The interiors allow customers to reflect their individual personalities with their choice of color executions that provide a refined or dynamic sport look and feel.” 

Standout design features include:

  • Four aluminum wheel finishes
  • Fourteen exterior color choices, like the new 2024 Riptide Blue, Seawolf Gray, and Cacti
  • A special body-length stripe package in Electric Blue
  • Standard carbon flash badging
  • Optional black exhaust tips and bright badging
  • Optional carbon fiber ground effects
  • Available carbon fiber wheels in carbon flash, visible carbon fiber finish, or visible carbon fiber with a red stripe

The all-electric Vette also brings in a new Artemis Dipped interior, with harmonious deep green tones on almost every surface. This will be the only color available on the new E-Rays. There are several options for shoppers when customizing their new ride, such as two carbon fiber trim packages, three seat choices, seven interior colors, and much more.

On top of this, new Charge+ and Stop/Start buttons are featured on the console, along with advancements to the infotainment system and instrument cluster centered at allowing a more cohesive appearance.

And Later…

The 2024 Corvette E-Ray is set to go on sale this year (2023) with a starting MSRP of $104,2954 (plus destination fee) for the 1LZ coupe and $111,2954 (plus destination fee) for the 1LZ convertible model. Production is ready to go at GM’s Bowling Green Assembly facility in Kentucky from North American and globally sourced parts.

The 2024 Chevy Silverado HD Will Soon Open For Reservations

0 By
Posted in Chevrolet, Chevrolet dealer, Chevy, Chevy dealers, chevy silverado

The 2024 Chevy Silverado HD will soon become available to order. The heavy-duty pickup truck recently received an all-new refresh that updated its exterior styling. Chevrolet also updated the Silverado HD’s cabin with new technology and powertrain upgrades. As of late, the automaker has been focusing on updating its entire lineup. New EVs, like the Silverado EV and Colorado EV, have also been a focus. While electric pickup trucks have been at the forefront, combustion engine trucks still serve a purpose. We’ll look at the newly refreshed 2024 Chevy Silverado HD and see what consumers can expect.

What To Expect From The 2024 Chevy Silverado HD

The 2024 Chevy Silverado HD will soon become available to the public. Order banks are set to open in the middle of January. General Motors will start accepting reservation orders for the heavy-duty pickup truck on January 19th. The Silverado HD will come with new updates as well as new styling. Chevrolet made sure to give the heavy-duty truck a new facelift that helped it stay relevant among its competition. The truck will see a new grille and new C-shaped LED lighting signatures. It will also see new wheel options. The Silverado HD will see a new dashboard design and more prominent display screens inside the cabin. Technology will also be improved to help drivers when towing or hauling cargo.

As for the powertrain, the 2024 Chevy Silverado HD will arrive with its standard 6.6L V8 engine, which delivers 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque. This V8 engine will pair with a 10-speed automatic transmission instead of a 6-speed. Additionally, the Silverado HD’s Duramax diesel 6.6L V8 will see a power boost, 470 horsepower compared to 445 and 975 lb-ft of torque compared to 910. The diesel engine will also make use of the new 10-speed automatic transmission. According to Chevrolet, the increase in power is thanks to updates made to the truck’s control architecture and combustion system. These updates provide the Silverado HD with better efficiency. 

One more addition to the 2024 Silverado HD is an all-new ZR2 trim. This will be the first time the Silverado HD receives the off-road trim. It will be released later in the year and equip the heavy-duty pickup truck with revised bumpers, 35-inch tires, and front and rear locking differentials. The ZR2 trim will also feature a host of off-road features that will help drivers tackle challenging terrain. Those interested in the newly refreshed 2024 Silverado HD can start placing their orders now. Those interested in the all-new ZR2 trim will have to wait until the middle of 2023.

The Big Reveal For The 2024 Corvette E-Ray Is Set This Week Tuesday

2024 AWD Corvette E-Ray

Chevrolet recently revealed a teaser for their upcoming electric Corvette E-Ray, featuring revving noises similar to your standard internal combustion engine, only to slyly show the quiet EV driving in the next scene. Though a full reveal of the electric Vette model would have been ideal, we’re still pumped to see all that Chevy offers.

GM president Mark Reuss spilled the beans in April of last year, “We will offer an electrified and a fully electric, Ultium-based Corvette in the future.”

Though word of a fully-electrified Corvette EV has yet to be officially dropped, there has been talk for a few months that the company was going to shake up the Corvette lineup and their EV brand as a whole, involving SUVs and four-door iterations. For those wondering if the Corvette EV was going to shake things up, a four-door SUV Corvette will certainly (for better or for worse) cause a frenzy.

Thankfully, we don’t have to wait much longer, as the next piece to this mystery is scheduled to be revealed tomorrow, January 17, in the Big Apple. It also marks the 70th anniversary of the debut of the original Corvette in 1952 at the Waldorf Astoria.

Corvette revealed at GM Motorama

On January 17, 1953, a prototype Chevrolet Corvette sports car debuted at General Motors (GM) Motorama auto show at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. The Corvette, named for a fast type of naval warship, would eventually become an iconic American muscle car and remains in production today.

Likely the most intriguing part of all this is the all-wheel-drive (AWD) system if the internal combustion engine and electric motors intertwine. The question remains if that will be the case. Then, if so, how?

For example, a rear-wheel-drive (RWD) combustion engine could add charge to the front-wheel-drive (FWD) EV motor through regen or an alternator power cable. A considerable battery and plug will enable drivers to do simple city driving without engaging the gasoline engine. The famous automaker indicated that an AWD model could be the first electric Corvette that doesn’t spin out of control during snowy seasons.

For years, the parent company, General Motors, has been saying “EVs for everyone”; however, the company (like most other automakers) is still in the initial stages of fulfilling that promise. For the time being, only a few high-end or high-value vehicles of the brand have been pushed, like the Cadillac Lyriq and GMC Hummer EV Electrek Car of the Year 2022 winner), and the Bolt EV.

Although more than an electric Stingray E-Ray will be needed to fill out the middle-man, Chevrolet alone has three big launches scheduled for this year. Namely, the (fleets only) Silverado EV in the spring, the swift Blazer SS EV in the summer, and the value-centered Equinox EV in the fall.

2024 Chevy Silverado EV Spotted Being Tested

0 By
Posted in Chevrolet, Chevrolet dealer, Chevrolet Dealers, Chevy, Chevy dealers

Chevrolet recently posted a video of the all-new 2024 Chevy Silverado EV performing validation tests. The all-electric pickup truck has already entered production and is set to be available later in 2023. As of late, Chevrolet has been busy updating its combustion engine lineup. The automaker has released new trims and upgraded several vehicles. In addition to its combustion engine lineup, the automaker has been working on new EVs. While the Chevy Silverado EV is one of the few EVs we have information about, supposedly, there is a new electric sports car in the works. For now, we’ll focus on the Silverado EV and see what consumers can expect from the electric pickup truck.

2024 Silverado EV Performs Validation Tests 

Chevrolet recently posted a video of the all-new 2024 Chevy Silverado EV performing a validation test. The all-electric pickup truck was seen conducting a towing test. In the video, the Work Truck (WT) trim is being used. Initially, this will be one of two trims available for the Silverado EV. The other trim will be the RST First Edition which is set to offer higher performance and capability. The video shows the Silverado EV WT towing a 7,700-pound trailer. According to Chevrolet, the WT trim will have a max towing capacity of 8,000 pounds, while the RST will have a max capacity of 10,000 pounds. About the Silverado EV, Chevrolet’s chief engineer Nichole Kraatz said,

“It’s so important for full-size truck customers to be able to tow, haul, and do everything that they can do in a traditional pickup truck,” said Kraatz. “We’ve set the bar and are validating an incredible product.”

Along with the validation test, Chevrolet also posted several images of the pre-production Silverado EV. The electric truck will be built at General Motors’ Factory Zero plant in Michigan. Although we do not have a complete list of details, it’s expected that the pickup truck will utilize a dual-motor setup. The WT trim is expected to offer 510 horsepower and 625 lb-ft of torque, while the RST First Edition will deliver 664 horsepower and 780 lb-ft of torque. 

As far as range goes, the Silverado EV is expected to have up to 400 miles of battery range. According to Chevrolet, the electric truck will also feature 8.9 inches of ground clearance. Information about the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV continues to flood in. So far, the EV truck will be a fierce competitor to others like the F-150 Lightning and Ram EV. For now, we’ll be staying tuned for more information.

All The Dirt On The Upcoming 2024 Chevrolet E-Ray

The Chevy Corvette has been an iconic staple in the history of American sports cars. Its first iteration dating back to 1953, this two-door luxury Stingray has captured the hearts of sports enthusiasts and general audiences on a wide scale.

Now, this Vette nameplate is making headlines with its latest iteration for 2024, specifically the electric E-Ray. Here’s the latest!

The 2024 Chevrolet E-Ray

The Stingray has now become the E-Ray. Parent company General Motors already trademarked the name in 2015, then renewed it in August 2020. Though trademarks don’t always transition to the production phase, more than likely, Chevrolet will bring the E-Ray onto the highways and race tracks.

What Do We Know About The Engine?

Regarding the E-Ray’s powertrain, the Chevy company keeps things under wraps. However, there is talk that this electrified Stingray may arrive with the same 6.2-liter V8 engine from the current C8 Corvette but with the addition of either one or two electric motors. The arrangement of these motors could lead to an all-wheel-drive (AWD) system. The output will likely be around 650 horsepower.

Due to the electric motors and the possible AWD, the Stingray E-Ray will perform much better than the regular Vette car. Contingent on how powerful the electric motors are, the E-Ray may be even swifter with 60 mph than the Corvette Z06.

What Type Of Electric Vehicle Is The E-Ray?

The all-new Corvette E-Ray will likely be a hybrid of some sort, perhaps even a PHEV (plug-in hybrid) variation. Both have similar components, but PHEVs have larger battery packs that allow them to travel longer distances on fully electrified power. These types of hybrids can also get their juice at a regular charging station, while hybrid vehicles get their source of energy from regenerative braking. Images of the car’s configurator showed a “Regen on Demand” button inside, suggesting that the vehicle will have different levels of regenerative braking.

Indeed, the first iteration of the E-Ray won’t be an all-electric vehicle, as the automaker has already confirmed that a fully-electric version will be coming in the future.

Exterior Changes

As far as the aesthetics are concerned, the leaked images of the 2024 E-Ray revealed that this speedy car bares much resemblance to the regular Stingray car. Although the front fascia has a similar style to the Z06, the leaked images from the company’s configurator showed slightly augmented front fins on the fascia. From the rear end, it’s expected that there will be quad exhaust outlets that retreat from the side of the car, along with the added vents on the rear bumper.

It’s also expected that the E-Ray will be available in unique exterior paint colors encompassing Cacti Green, Sea Wolf gray, and a new variation of blue.

Miami Lakes Chevy

The 2024 Chevrolet E-Ray is scheduled to arrive in the summer of this year, and when the time comes to make a purchase, be sure to do it at Miami Lakes Automall. We sell a wide range of vehicles from the brand in several different shapes and sizes.

Those who are interested in anything that we have to offer can view our online new car inventory on our website. Once you find something that feeds your interest, chat with one of our representatives for further information and assistance.

Future Chevy Truck Revealed In GM Sketches

0 By
Posted in Chevrolet, Chevrolet Dealers, Chevy, Chevy dealers

General Motors (GM) recently released several concept sketches that may be used for future Chevrolet trucks. The sketches portray possible designs that may be used with pickup trucks like the Silverado 1500 and Colorado. Lately, Chevrolet has been busy updating its lineup with performance upgrades and refreshes. These newly unveiled sketches help consumers get a better idea of what to expect from future refreshes. As for Chevy’s electric trucks, specifically the Chevy Silverado EV and Colorado EV, these EVs will feature a different variation from the portrayed sketches. Still, despite the automaker’s focus on EVs, it’s good to see Chevy giving attention to its combustion engine lineup. For now, we’ll look at the sketches and see what consumers can expect. 

New Sketches Reveal Future Truck Design

General Motors (GM) recently posted several concept sketches to its social media account. Designed by GM creative designer Ben Wilkins, the sketches depict the future design of Chevrolet’s pickup trucks. This includes the Chevy Silverado and Chevy Colorado. Both pickup trucks have received upgrades and refreshes for the 2023 model year. The Silverado received a new turbocharged 3.0L inline-six Duramax diesel engine, while the Colorado received a new exterior refresh. Looking at these new sketches, both pickup trucks could see new refreshes in the near future.

Looking at GM’s social media posts, we can see two images. The first emphasizes the truck’s front fascia, while the other portrays the truck at a front angle. The truck depicted features a large central front air intake with horizontal intake slats. At the center, an illuminated Chevy Bow badge brings everything together. We’re still determining whether Chevy will use these concept designs for its future trucks. However, it does let us know that the automaker is continuously working on ways to update its lineup. 

One other aspect included in the concept sketches was the lighting. A series of thin lighting signatures can be seen running around the outer edges of the concept truck’s front fascia down toward its bumpers. They form an L-shape curve and are accentuated by amber lighting bits in the upper corners of the grille. The truck’s bumper also features vertical lighting fixtures, which appear to be fog lights. The side-view mirrors also share similar lighting characteristics, while the truck’s two-tone paint adds another aesthetic layer. These concept trucks showcase an exciting design and give us an idea of what future Chevy trucks may look like.

The Fate Of The Chevrolet Malibu

Is The Chevy Malibu Here To Stay?

For the past few years, there’s been a significant emphasis on SUVs in North America, leaving some of previous fan-favored sedans or hatchbacks on the backburner…except for the Chevrolet Malibu. Word on the automotive street is that this mid-sizer could be cruising around the American stateside for at least one more generation.

Keep in mind that this rumor follows after previous talk of the Malibu sedan being discontinued in 2024. The car blog site, GM Authority supposedly has an inside source confirming that a new generation is set for 2025 and might journey along a reformed version of its current platform. Another site, Motor1, reached Chevy for possible word on this allegation but for the moment, their questions haven’t been answered.

While the car company hasn’t confirmed…or denied these rumors, there appears to be some persuasive evidence to back the Malibu’s continued lifespan. While we’re still waiting for the automaker’s final sales figures for 2022, through October, the car’s sales were up a jaw-dropping 148 percent compared to 2021. The company reported that 79,799 units were sold through the first three quarters of the year, whilst only 39,376 Malibu sedans were sold for all of 2021.

To compare, the Chevy Malibu has outsold various notable SUVs by the bowtie company, like the Blazer, Traverse, Trailblazer, Suburban, and Tahoe. It’s also outperforming the Chevy Colorado; however, sales for this truck could expand next year owing to the new-generation model that was released last July. Moving out of the confines of its parent company, General Motors (GM), the mid-size Malibu is still far from ranking as the best-selling sedan, as this honor is bestowed upon the Toyota Camry. This car achieved 214,403 sales through October 2022.

If the Malibu continues to show what it’s made of for second-generation using a reformed version of its current platform, that hints that it would offer internal combustion power. Alternatively, as with other car manufacturers, GM isn’t so keen on promoting gasoline-powered vehicles these days, as it’s focusing its efforts on its Ultium-powered electric vehicles. Then, with states such as California and Oregon wanting to ban new internal-combustion car sales by 2035, there may or may not be enough time for one more gasoline-powered generation.

The Chevy Malibu nameplate has a long history in the automotive industry, dating back to 1964. After a bit of a pause for most of the 1980s and 1990s, it made a comeback in 1997 and has been a significant part of the company’s sedan lineup ever since. The current-gen Malibu dates back to 2016, with a mid-cycle refresh hitting in 2019. Some of the best features of the current Malibu include wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, Keyless Entry Keypad, Automatic Parking Assist, Wireless charging, Teen Driver, and Buckle to Drive. All of these features can be found in the 2023 model for a starting MSRP of $24,700 (plus destination fee).
