Inside the Engines of the 2027 Corvette

Chevrolet is doubling down on its winning formula in the small SUV market with major enhancements for two of its best-selling models. As Chevy sales hit record highs—surpassing a quarter-million deliveries year-to-date for its entry-level crossover lineup—the brand is officially introducing refreshed versions of the 2027 Chevy Trax and 2027 Chevy Trailblazer. Designed to deliver superior value, striking looks, upgraded tech, and improved safety, these updated subcompact SUVs demonstrate why Chevrolet dominates the segment. Standard Safety Features and Next-Gen Driver Assistance Technology Safety takes center stage for the 2027 lineup, with Chevrolet making over 20 advanced driver assist features standard across both models thanks to upgraded electrical and software architecture. Drivers looking for reliable compact crossover safety will find significant peace of mind. New standard features include Reverse Automatic Braking, Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, Safety Alert Seat, Side Bicyclist Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Front and Rear Park Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Zone Steering Assist, and a Rear Seat Belt Indicator. Whether navigating busy city streets or backing out of tight parking spaces, these standard Chevy safety technologies work together to protect passengers and pedestrians alike. Next-Level In-Cabin Tech Featuring Google Built-In and Gemini AI Technology inside the cabin gets a massive upgrade aimed at tech-savvy SUV buyers. Both the 2027 Chevrolet Trax and Trailblazer feature an updated user interface paired with a standard 11-inch-diagonal digital driver information center and a large 11.3-inch-diagonal touch screen infotainment system. For the first time, Google built-in integrated with Gemini AI comes standard, offering intuitive voice command capabilities and seamless navigation. Additionally, buyers receive 12 months of standard OnStar One, which brings connected car services including in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot capability and video streaming. This tech package turns every commute or road trip into an effortless connected experience. The Refreshed 2027 Chevy Trax: Sleeker Styling and Practical Upgrades As the subcompact SUV segment leader—accounting for one-fifth of all sales in its class—the Chevy Trax adopts a more premium aesthetic for 2027. The exterior sports a redesigned front grille, all-LED taillamps, a refreshed liftgate, and new wheel choices. The lineup streamlines into three distinct trims: the entry-level Trax (featuring high-contrast wheels for urban driving), the sporty Trax RS (riding on bold 19-inch wheels), and the rugged Trax ACTIV with its unique front fascia. Inside, the cabin features stylish hexagonal side air vents for a modern look. For added convenience, a power liftgate is available on the Trax for the very first time, making loading cargo easier than ever. Chevrolet also introduces Storm Sky Gray, a brand-new earthy interior shade available across the vehicle line. Adventure-Ready 2027 Chevy Trailblazer Introduces the All-New Z71 Trim The headline news for the 2027 Chevy Trailblazer is the debut of the iconic Z71 trim—marking Chevrolet’s first adventure-ready AWD subcompact crossover under the Z71 badge. Joining the entry-level Trailblazer and the sleek Trailblazer RS, the Z71 brings off-road utility to drivers who love outdoor exploration. Equipped with standard all-wheel drive (AWD), off-road-tuned suspension, underbody skid plates, and sport-terrain tires, the Trailblazer Z71 is built to handle dirt trails and harsh weather. Inside, the Z71 gets debossed front headrests alongside an exclusive Jet Black and Storm Sky Gray interior highlighted by vibrant Orange accents. Cabin flexibility in the 2027 Trailblazer gets a major functional boost thanks to a new column-mounted gear shifter. This change frees up space in the center console for redesigned storage options, including retractable cupholders. The update also allows for new rear-seat HVAC vents to keep back-seat passengers comfortable, while an available AutoSense power liftgate adds hands-free cargo convenience. Release Date and Dealer Availability Both the 2027 Chevrolet Trax and 2027 Chevrolet Trailblazer will be built using domestically and globally sourced parts. Dealership arrival is set for Spring 2027, giving budget-conscious SUV shoppers plenty to look forward to in Chevrolet's updated lineup.

When auto industry leadership meets relentless community advocacy, powerful progress happens. For more than a decade, Chevrolet has teamed up with the American Cancer Society (ACS) to advance breast cancer awareness, support patients undergoing treatment, and fund groundbreaking research. Through the Chevy Cares initiative, the iconic American brand has demonstrated that corporate responsibility can extend far beyond showroom floors, helping raise tens of millions of dollars to ensure no one faces a cancer diagnosis alone. Over $23 Million Raised for Lifesaving Care and Research The backbone of Chevrolet’s partnership with the American Cancer Society rests on tangible, long-term impact. Over the course of their collaboration, Chevrolet, together with its network of local dealerships, employees, and dedicated customers, has generated more than $23 million for the cause. These contributions directly fuel ACS programs that matter most to patients: funding medical research grants, improving access to vital early-detection screenings, and providing essential support services like transportation and lodging near treatment centers. Making Strides on the Track and in Local Communities One of the most visible elements of this partnership comes alive every October during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. On NASCAR tracks across the country, Chevrolet fields a specially wrapped pink pace car—often a high-performance Camaro or Corvette—to lead the field. For every caution lap the pink pace car completes during designated Cup Series races, Chevy donates pledged dollars directly to the American Cancer Society. Beyond the racetrack, local Chevrolet dealerships nationwide host community walk teams, sponsor "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" events, and coordinate regional fundraisers that engage local neighborhoods directly in the fight. Digital Awareness: Driving Impact Through Social Engagement Chevrolet has also successfully leveraged social media to turn everyday online conversations into direct donations. Through campaigns utilizing hashtags like #IDriveFor and #WeDriveFor, the automaker pledges direct contributions to the ACS for every post shared by social media users detailing who they honor or support in their fight against breast cancer. This digital initiative gives voice to survivors, caregivers, and families, creating a shared space of support while unlocking critical corporate funding with every hashtag shared. Direct Patient Support: Access to Care When It Matters Most Crucially, the impact of this partnership goes far beyond fundraising totals and public campaigns—it directly touches the lives of individual patients navigating treatment. Funds raised through Chevrolet’s support help keep the American Cancer Society’s free 24/7 helpline running, connect patients with ride-share programs to get to chemotherapy appointments, and fund Hope Lodge facilities that provide free housing to families traveling for specialized care. By addressing the practical and emotional hurdles of a cancer diagnosis, Chevrolet helps remove barriers to care so patients can focus on what matters most: healing. A Lasting Legacy of Hope The partnership between Chevrolet and the American Cancer Society proves that sustained corporate commitment can drive meaningful societal change. By uniting race fans, dealership teams, social media communities, and patients under a single banner of support, Chevrolet continues to accelerate the journey toward a future free of breast cancer. Through every lap run and every dollar raised, the message remains clear: united, we are stronger than cancer.

Chevrolet is rewriting the rules of heavy-duty truck capability with a monumental update to its legendary pickup lineup. Heading into the 2027 model year, the Chevy Silverado HD elevates work-ready performance with the debut of GM’s first ground-up, in-house-designed heavy-duty diesel engine: the all-new Duramax 8.3L Turbo-Diesel V8. Built specifically for hard-working drivers who demand uncompromising power, towing capability, and highway confidence, this new powertrain lineup ensures Chevrolet stays firmly at the head of the heavy-duty segment. Unmatched Power: Best-in-Class Horsepower and Torque At the core of the 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD and 3500 HD updates is the clean-sheet 8.3L Duramax Turbo-Diesel V8. Engineered specifically around heavy-duty pickup demands, the engine delivers a staggering 555 horsepower and 1,230 lb.-ft. of torque, earning best-in-class honors for diesel horsepower and torque. Constructed on a foundation of strength, the engine features a compacted graphite iron cylinder block paired with a fully forged crankshaft, forged connecting rods, and durable steel pistons. To handle severe working environments and long-distance towing, the 8.3L Duramax utilizes a high-efficiency variable-geometry turbocharger, high-flow fuel injection, and a compact dual-stage air-to-water charge cooling system. This complete diesel system is mated to the robust Allison 10-speed automatic transmission, delivering a broad torque curve for smooth launches under heavy loads, effortless grade climbing, and exceptionally refined low-noise operation. For truck buyers preferring gasoline power, the standard 6.6L Gas V8 engine also receives significant performance upgrades. Now outputting 412 horsepower and a best-in-class standard gas torque of 472 lb.-ft., the enhanced gas engine features a Turbo-Jet intake manifold, upgraded lubrication, and an engine-mounted oil cooler for superior low-end pulling power. Unrivaled Trailering and Maximum Towing Capacity The 2027 Chevy Silverado HD isn't just about raw power; it is engineered to move the heaviest equipment with total stability. When properly equipped, the Silverado HD towing capacity reaches up to 20,000 pounds for conventional towing and up to 38,000 pounds for gooseneck trailering, supported by a Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) of up to 46,500 pounds. Additionally, every Silverado HD diesel dually model is capable of towing 30,000 pounds or more. To make towing large loads safer and more seamless, Chevrolet incorporates up to 14 available camera views, including standard-setting features like Transparent Trailer View, Bed View, and Surround Vision. Drivers also gain access to an integrated in-vehicle trailering app, Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert, and real-time trailer tire pressure and temperature monitoring.

(Best-in-Class Standard) Transmission Allison® 10-Speed Automatic Allison® 10-Speed Automatic Max Gooseneck Towing Up to 38,000 lbs - Max Conventional Towing Up to 20,000 lbs - Precision Control: Electric Power Steering & Electronic Brake-Boost To complement the massive Duramax engine upgrades, Chevy has integrated segment-first chassis and control systems directly into the 2027 heavy-duty lineup. Replacing traditional hydraulic setups, the new rack-and-pinion Electric Power Steering (EPS) system delivers roughly 30% more steering output power. Designed for low-speed maneuvering and heavy axle loads, EPS eliminates hydraulic pumps and hoses, resulting in quieter operation, reduced kickback on rough terrain, and precise steering feel across all driving conditions. Parallel to EPS is a segment-first electronic brake-boost system. Paired with massive 14.6-inch front rotors and four-piston fixed front calipers, this advanced brake architecture provides predictable pedal stiffness, superior thermal capacity, and reduced pedal travel. Decoupling steering and brake hydraulics enhances consistency, whether bringing a fully loaded trailer to a confident stop on the highway or navigating downhill switchbacks. Tailored Capability: Integrated Drive Modes & Terrain Mode Chevrolet expands driver control with coordinated drive-mode integration across powertrain, steering, and braking calibrations. Selecting Tow/Haul Mode optimizes shifting, engine mapping, EPS assist, eBoost braking, and exhaust braking specifically for heavy hauling. Off-Road Mode adjusts anti-lock brakes and traction management for loose dirt and gravel while mitigating harsh steering feedback. For extreme off-road enthusiasts, the 2027 Chevy Silverado HD ZR2 introduces an all-new Terrain Mode. A first for Chevrolet heavy-duty trucks, Terrain Mode enables one-pedal off-road driving in both 4HI and 4LO. Lifting off the accelerator pedal automatically applies precise braking, allowing drivers to navigate steep obstacles and technical trails with total authority. Production, Availability, and Final Verdict Manufactured with high-volume precision, the new 8.3L Duramax V8 engine will be built at GM's expanded 1.4-million-square-foot DMAX facility in Brookville, Ohio, following a major $920 million investment. The enhanced 6.6L gas V8 engine continues production at the Tonawanda Engine Plant in New York. Truck buyers looking for ultimate heavy-duty performance can expect the 2027 Chevrolet Silverado HD to begin arriving at dealerships nationwide in late 2026. MSRP, specific trim options, and final fuel economy figures will be released closer to the official market launch.
