Realizing the dream of an all-electric future will require more than just technology — it’s about having the desire, imagination and ingenuity to build a better tomorrow. As Chevrolet takes the next steps on its journey to a zero-emissions future, the brand is teaming up with Walt Disney World® to reveal the all-electric Chevrolet Bolt EUV and Bolt EV and show how magic can take place when the imagination is electrified. Join Chevrolet on Sunday, Feb. 14 to watch the journey unfold.
The 2022 Bolt EUV and Bolt EV will be available this summer. For more information, please visit chevy.com/ev
Today at CES 2021, Chevrolet shared a preview of the steering wheel in the 2022 Bolt EUV equipped with Super Cruise technology, the industry’s first true hands-free driver assistance system for enabled roads. The Bolt EUV will be the first Chevrolet to offer Super Cruise.
Just a few years ago, Chevrolet unveiled the 2017 Bolt EV as the first long-range, affordable EV at CES 2016. The Bolt EUV and the refreshed Bolt EV will be revealed next month and go into production this summer.
Give a Special Gift this Valentine’s Day
Here at Burien Chevrolet, we would love for everyone to get a brand-new Chevy with a giant bow on top for Valentine’s Day (and we have some great deals to make that happen for you!). But just in case you’re looking for something else to give this year, here is a list of some of our favorite non-typical, creative gift ideas:
- Wearable plants! Yes, there are some very talented floral designers out there who can make jewelry out of living plants. If you get your sweetie some living jewelry that includes succulents, those plants can be replanted (after she’s done wearing them for a week or 2) and you can watch it grow…like your love for each other
- Monthly subscription. Whatever your significant other enjoys, there’s probably a subscription service for it. Wine, cheese, plants, liquor, exercise service, etc.
- A customized board game! There’s nothing quite like spending time together except when you take it to the next level by customizing the game. https://www.uncommongoods.com/product/personalized-hearts-four-across-game?clickid=x4D0HRwU6xyLU1IwUx0Mo36MUkEUGDwZzTC-y00&irgwc=1&utm_source=BuzzFeed&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_campaign=8444&utm_term=Online%20Tracking%20Link&trafficSource=Impact&sharedid=
- Adopt a star or wild animal for your significant other! What could be more romantic than naming a star for your loved one or adopting/protecting a whale (or something) in their name? There are several naming services but here are a couple https://www.star-registration.com/, https://gifts.worldwildlife.org/gift-center/gifts/species-adoptions.aspx
- Become a Lord or Lady! Purchase a small plot of land in the Old Country, which officially (technically) makes you a land-owning Lord and/or Lady. Here’s an option for those wishing to be a Scottish Laird or Lady, but there are other countries/options out there https://establishedtitles.com/

Realistic 2021 New Year’s Resolutions
This past year has been a doozy. It didn’t take long for all of our New Year’s Resolutions for 2020 to become nearly impossible to complete with isolation orders, businesses closing, and other obstacles. Surely 2021 will be better (right?!), but there’s still a lot of uncertainty, so what are some productive and realistic New Year’s Resolutions for 2021? Understanding the stresses of this past year aren’t past for most people, the focus of this list is adding positivity to your life, compared to trying quit negative things (which adds more stress and may not be realistic). Here are 8 ideas to get you started!
- Read 3 more books than you did last year
- Try 1 new food each month
- Become a plant owner! Indoor plants are an inexpensive way to better emotional health and air quality of your living space.
- Drink more water!
- Already working out? Try listening to books or novels instead of music during your workout!
- Start or write in more frequently a journal! This can be good for your mental health as well as record your experiences during this historic time.
- Eating more vegetables is a common resolution, so how about a resolution to eat more citrus fruit! Citrus fruit is full of vitamins and other good stuff our bodies need, plus they are low calory and so tasty.
- Try meditation and/or yoga to better your physical and mental health. There are many free or low-cost programs to help guide you through meditation/yoga and the benefits include better self-awareness and overall wellness. It also carves out “you alone” time during a time many of us craving alone time because we are inside with our families so much.
Chevrolet revealed a first look at part of the 2022 Bolt EUV’s signature lighting, featuring a sequential front turn signal and LED daytime running light. The video was first shared on TikTok by automotive content creator Pushing Pistons.
The Bolt EUV will go into production in summer 2021 and will be the first electric vehicle from Chevrolet to feature Super Cruise, the industry’s first true hands-free driver assistance system for compatible highways.
Chevrolet announced today it will expand its Midnight, Sport and RS packages to meet a wide range of customer needs.
“Customer choice is a competitive advantage for Chevrolet,” said Steve Majoros, vice president, Chevrolet Marketing. “Special editions and unique trims allow us to offer customers the custom look they want straight from the factory. This helps us get more customers interested in our vehicles, which in turn can help Chevrolet grow sales volume, market share and revenue. It’s a win-win for everyone.”

There is a lot to celebrate with the ending of 2020 and beginning of 2021, but Covid-19 cases still on the rise around the country, the safest way to celebrate winter holidays and New Year’s Eve is still at home. But that doesn’t mean it has to be boring or even with just household members. Here are some ideas to help you celebrate safely.
- Do a photo backdrop challenge for you and/or your kids with other families. Best photo background wins!
- Make lists of predictions for 2021; they can be silly or not. At this point nothing is off the table!
- Play fun games like Musical Chairs, Apples to Apples, Charades and others. Some of these games can easily played with other groups over zoom!
- Give your holiday a fun theme. Make it an 80s Christmas or Grinch New Year’s Eve (seems very appropriate). Even if your celebrations are smaller this year, fun themes like this will make them memorable and fun.
- Build fun breaks into your celebrations. Random dance breaks. Everyone has to freeze throughout the day when 1 family member yells freeze. You have to say something your thankful for anytime someone asks you all throughout the day. Make it fun or meaningful!
First-in-segment available turbo-diesel engine brings impressive efficiency, smooth driving experience
The 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel is the most fuel-efficient full-size SUV in its class. Better fuel efficiency supports longer trips in this best-selling nameplate known for its size, capability and cargo.
The Chevrolet Tahoe with the available 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel engine offers an EPA-estimated 28 highway, 21 city and 24 combined mpg in rear-wheel-drive models. EPA-estimated fuel economy for four-wheel drive models is 26 highway, 20 city and 22 combined mpg.
This is Chevy’s first diesel inline-six engine for full-size SUVs, and the brand’s first diesel offered in full-size SUVs since 1999. In the Suburban, the 3.0L Duramax offers an EPA estimated 27 highway, 21 city and 23 combined mpg in two-wheel drive models and 26 highway, 20 city and 22 combined mpg in four-wheel drive models.
“The 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel brings a refined engine experience to the already impressive redesign of the all-new 2021 Tahoe and Suburban,” said Bob Krapes, Chevrolet Trucks marketing director. “Combining the segment’s best fuel efficiency with increased space inside of the vehicle compared to the previous generation equals an all-new Tahoe and Suburban ready for the next long road trip or family adventure.”
The 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel launched first in the 2020 Silverado, utilizing state-of-the-art technologies to optimize fuel and integrate into the all-new vehicle architecture. Small changes adapt the engine for the full-size SUV application, including enhanced noise abatement and a new engine control module, specifically designed to leverage the faster data-processing power of the all-new models. The engine is exclusively paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission for a smooth shifting experience.
With an SAE-certified 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, the Tahoe 3.0L Duramax with two-wheel drive is capable of maximum towing up to 8,200 pounds and a max payload of 1,717 pounds2. The Suburban with the same engine is capable of a maximum towing of 8,000 pounds and a max payload of 1,625 pounds in two-wheel drive models. A standard exhaust brake is available in tow-haul mode and can provide additional driver confidence when towing.
“The 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel brings responsive torque and a smooth driving experience, ideal for those who tow or spend many hours behind the wheel,” said John Barta, assistant chief engineer for the 3.0L Duramax. “Not only is the 3.0L Duramax a refined engine, but the total experience benefits from the efforts to deliver enhanced driving dynamics in Tahoe and Suburban through the independent rear suspension and available Magnetic Ride Control and Four-Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension.”
The driver-selectable stop/start technology optimizes fuel economy by shutting off the engine at stoplights and certain other stop-and-go situations, helping to save fuel.
The 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel is available on the LS, LT, RST and Premier trims with an MSRP3 of $995 over the base 5.3L V-8 gas engine. It is also available in the High Country trim as a $1,500 MSRP decrease over the standard 6.2L V-8 gas engine.
The first customer deliveries of the 2021 Tahoe and Suburban with the available 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel are expected to begin before the end of the year.
