Three Reasons to Consider the 2019 Chevrolet Volt

Image from Chevrolet.com If you were on the fence with the 2019 Chevrolet Volt becoming your next car, there are some important considerations that may help to sway your decision. This model is highly fuel-efficient, a top safety pick and this could be your last chance to own this economic hatchback. Fuel Efficiency The Chevrolet Volt is the definition of fuel efficiency. With regular charging, the 2019 Volt can average 1,100 miles between fill-ups. On a full charge, running on pure electric miles, you can get up to 53 miles, while a full charge and a full tank of gas can stretch up to 420 miles. This vehicle can save you time and money in gas stops and extra money spent at convenience stores on your road trips. With less fuel usage, you're also helping the environment, saving fossil fuels for future generations. more A Top Safety Pick The 2018 IIHS Top Safety Pick Award was given to the Chevrolet Volt, thanks to new standard safety features as well as add-ons. Coming standard with the basic trim, the Volt owner is protected with 10 airbags, an HD rear vision camera, LATCH system, LED daytime running lamps, OnStar capability, pedestrian safety signal, and a tire pressure monitoring system. Optional upgrades on even the base trim include lane change alert with side blind zone alert, rear cross traffic alert, and rear park assist. Opting for an upgraded trim opens up more safety options. You can choose forward automatic braking, forward collision alert, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, and low speed forward automatic braking. With all of the available safety features on the 2019 Chevy Volt, this is clearly a safe vehicle with options to make it even safer. 2019 is the Last Year for the Volt General Motors announced in November 2018 that the Chevrolet Volt and Chevy Cruze will be discontinued. With the closure of the factories that produce both models, there has been much discussion about how the technology will be treated. Some ideas are that GM could build an SUV with the Voltec battery-electric hybrid system. It could have a bigger battery, or perhaps the vehicle would have less range than the smaller car due to the increase in weight. The technology could be sold to another automaker. This could open up many opportunities for more groundbreaking vehicles and potential improvements to these engines. Whether you're looking for your first hybrid car or would like to add one to your car collection, the 2019 Chevrolet Volt is a strong addition. The safety ratings will have you driving your family around without concern on road trips or enjoying your daily commute with minimal fuel stops and plenty of peace of mind. Take the opportunity to buy this model new while you can since the factory won't be rolling more out after 2019. Come on by Burien Chevrolet to test drive the 2019 Chevrolet Volt. You'll love the ride and may not want to stop at just the short sample on the road.

Red 2019 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 in Burien, WA | Burien Chevrolet

Meet the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2: The Perfect Off-Roader

Have you heard the buzz around your local Chevy showroom? The 2019 Colorado ZR2 is already making a stir around the country as the ultimate rock-climber. The engineers over at General Motors upped this highly capable trailblazer's four-wheeling prowess, and gave it a fierce exterior that looks good too. Keep reading to unearth the top three features that make the new midsize Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 a beast on the trails. Added AEV Protection The Colorado ZR2 will get a major refresh in January, thanks to the first-ever partnership between Chevrolet and American Expedition Vehicles, an aftermarket parts specialist. Its appeal comes from AEV's extensive contribution of parts, designed to protect the truck as it moves through even the most unfriendly terrain. more Outdoor adventurers will appreciate the Colorado's durable, steel skid plates made from Boron steel. The last thing you want 50 miles from civilization is a puncture hole in your gas tank. These five hot-stamped plates protect your truck's fuel tank, engine oil pan, and transfer case. The Colorado is equipped with both front and rear locking differentials — a class-exclusive in this competitive truck segment. Good thing they're covered in steel too. A uniquely designed front bumper is equipped with fog lights and winch provisions, all standard, while the back bumper comes stocked with integrated recovery points. Chevy went so far as to add the optional add-on third-party accessory: the AEV snorkel. This distinctive air intake system is ideal for overland explorers whose journey includes deep water crossings. Power and Performance Colorado ZR2 Bison is named after the buffalo that roam the plains of eastern Colorado. That name evokes the perfect imagery, since this truck is the new symbol of ruggedness. It comes powered by a V-6 gas engine under the hood, coupled with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Rumor has it the Bison is also available with an optional 2.8-liter Duramax diesel motor. The 2019 ZR2 rides high on Goodyear's Wrangler Duratrac off-road tires, size: 31-inches. This set of rubber is a staple in the off-road arena and is wrapped around the Bison's exclusive 17- by 8-inch bead-locking, aluminum wheels. To accommodate these huge tires, Chevy gave the Colorado larger fender flares and beefed up the clearance. We expect this trail dominating Bison to utilize this extra height quite frequently. Stock Performance Accessories The ZR2 Bison is expected to retain some of its top features and accessories through this upgrade, including rocker protection, an Autotrac transfer case, and cast-iron control arms. You'll have a choice of either the crew or extended cab configurations, paired up with a short or long bed, respectively. You'll also get Multimatic's DSSV dynamic suspension dampers, and more air flow through the redesigned grille. Don't worry. The Chevy logo is proudly stamped in the grille's design. Get ready to rock — climb that is, with the new 2019 Chevy Colorado ZR2. News on the street is that it's the perfect off-roader. Keep an eye on your local Chevrolet showroom. This trail boss should be hitting lots early next year. Image via Chevrolet.com

Starbucks Sign in Seattle, WA | Burien Chevrolet

5 National Brands that Got Their Start in Seattle

Eddie Bauer Eddie Bauer, famous for its down jackets and outdoor wear, got its start in Seattle.

2018 Chevrolet Tahoe in Burien, WA | Burien Chevrolet

2018 Suburban vs. 2018 Tahoe: Which One Works for You?

Both the 2018 Chevy Tahoe and the 2018 Suburban are full-size SUVs with a fairly similar exterior look. If you're on the fence about which of these two vehicles to buy, check out the following guide to see how the Suburban and Tahoe compare. Similarities Between the 2018 Tahoe and 2018 Suburban Visually, both cars seem very similar, and there are several other similarities between the Tahoe and Suburban. Both cars have the same city and highway mileage estimates, and both are equipped with powerful V-8 engines. When looking at the interior space, there are also more similarities than differences. Each has almost the same amount of leg, hip, and shoulder room. Any differences in these categories are less than one inch. However, there is an outlier in the third row. The 2018 Tahoe has 10 fewer inches of legroom than the 2018 Suburban. Both the Tahoe and Suburban have room for eight passengers. more The Suburban and Tahoe both have disc brakes on all four wheels. The base models are equipped with rear-wheel drive, but different trims for both models are equipped with four-wheel drive. Key Differences Between the 2018 Tahoe and 2018 Suburban There are a few differences to consider before making a final decision. First, the gas tanks have different capacities. The Suburban's gas tank can hold 31 gallons, while the Tahoe's will hold 26. Since both vehicles have the same estimated mileage, the Suburban can drive about 100 miles more on a full tank than the Tahoe. During safety and crash testing, both the Tahoe and Suburban scored four stars overall during crash tests. When looking at the individual tests, the Tahoe had significantly more five-star ratings than the Suburban, which had four-star ratings in those categories. When it comes to cargo capacity, both vehicles offer significant space to pack everything you need for any adventure. If you find yourself bringing everything but the kitchen sink with you, consider the Suburban, which has 20 more inches of cargo room from the rear to the back of the front seat. Utilizing all of this room does, of course, reduce the number of passengers you can take with you. Because of the extended cargo room, the Suburban is about 20 inches longer than the Tahoe. In total, the Suburban is 224.4 inches long, and the Tahoe is 204 inches. Which Model is Right for You? The 2018 Surbuban and Tahoe are both very similar full-size SUVs, so it can be difficult to determine which model is best for you and your family. The first thing to consider is if you need a trim that has four-wheel drive or not. If you're in a part of the country that gets a lot of snow, four-wheel drive should be a necessity, as rear-wheel drive vehicles perform poorly in snow and ice. If you go on big outdoor adventures, that require you to bring large pieces of equipment, like kayaks or paddle boards, the extra capacity on the Suburban might be the right choice. Suburban, Tahoe, it's a very difficult decision. Weigh your needs against the specific choices; either of these models will be a great choice for you and your family.

How the SS puts the Sizzle in the 2018 Camaro

If you're in the market for a great, new, high-performance sports car, it's worth considering that the Chevy Camaro is a favorite among many enthusiasts that has stood the test of time. The all-new 2018 Camara SS is no exception and is the perfect example of how long-lasting models should evolve to keep up with the times and stack up against the competition. Here's a quick look at how the SS puts the sizzle in the 2018 Camaro. Look and Feel The Camaro has owned its appearance since it originally rolled off the assembly lines in 1966. While the appearance of this iconic car has evolved over time, it has maintained several aspects that pay homage to the original design. The 2018 Camaro SS sports a front that is reminiscent of the original 1966 model, while the body itself makes use of dramatic lines and curves to provide the elegant yet powerful look and feel that the Camaro has become known for. more Power and Performance The 2018 Camaro SS doesn't just look powerful — it is powerful. This particular model comes standard with a 6.2-litre V8 engine that delivers an impressive 445 horsepower along with 455 pounds-feet torque. That's a lot of power packed into a relatively small package that will have you feeling like the king of the road every time you get behind the wheel. You would think that all of that power would come with some serious efficiency sacrifices, but the 2018 Camaro SS actually performs quite well in this area as well. You'll be able to push 16 mpg on city streets and up to 25 mpg on the highway. Those may not seem like great numbers if you're new to the world of performance vehicles, but this is actually pretty impressive for a car sporting this kind of power. Technology Features If high-performance and an iconic look aren't enough for you, the interior of the 2018 Camaro SS is sure to win you over. To begin with, you'll enjoy heated and cooled seats that are designed to keep you comfortable no matter what the temperatures are outside. An 8-inch touch-enabled control panel provides you with high-tech features such as: A 4G WiFi hotspot Bluetooth connectivity with hands-free calling and texting Available onboard navigation An onboard backup camera system Streaming media playback In addition to all of this, the 2018 Camaro SS comes equipped with a premium Bose sound system and includes two USB charging ports to keep your mobile devices topped off while you're on the road. Out of everything the 2018 Camaro SS has to offer, the best thing about it isn't a feature you'll find on the car itself but, rather, its price. A common misconception is that cars like this are out of most people's price range, but this may not be entirely true. While the SS is one of the higher-end Camaro options, it is available starting as low as $37,000, which really isn't that much more expensive than a lot of standard sedans.
