Big news from the performance-car world: the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 has officially been named Road & Track Magazine’s 2026 Performance Car of the Year, and honestly… it’s hard to argue with the verdict. Road & Track’s Performance Car of the Year (PCOTY) award isn’t about price tags or brand cachet. It’s a pure, no-nonsense test of driving excellence. Every contender gets pushed hard—on track and on real roads—and only the most complete performance machine walks away with the trophy. This year, after an exhaustive evaluation, the ZR1 didn’t just win—it dominated. A Legacy of Greatness Gets Even Bigger The Corvette nameplate is no stranger to PCOTY glory. Over the years, Road & Track has honored: The C7 Stingray in 2014 The C7 ZR1 in 2019 The C8 Z06 in 2023 Now, the C8 Corvette ZR1 adds another chapter to that legacy, making Corvette the winningest model in Performance Car of the Year history. No other car has managed more than two wins—Corvette now has four. As Road & Track Director of Reviews Mike Duff put it: “Performance Car of the Year is a test of driving, not value, but by any measure, the Corvette is an astonishing bargain. It also takes the Corvette dynasty to a whole new plane of awesomeness.” That’s high praise from people who drive the world’s best cars for a living. 1,064 Horsepower of American Muscle Refined At the heart of the ZR1 is a monster: a 1,064-horsepower twin-turbocharged V8, the most powerful V8 ever produced in America by an American automaker. Pair that with the available ZTK Performance Package—which adds high-downforce aerodynamics, ultra-high-performance tires, and carbon-ceramic brakes—and you’ve got a car that’s just as happy hunting lap records as it is carving canyon roads. And that balance matters. PCOTY testing isn’t just about lap times. Tested Where It Matters For 2026, Road & Track took contenders to Thunderhill Raceway Park in Northern California, wringing out every ounce of performance on track. From there, the cars headed onto the legendary public roads of Napa Valley, where ride quality, approachability, and driver confidence matter just as much as raw speed. That dual-purpose brilliance is exactly what the ZR1 was designed to deliver. According to Chris Barber, Lead Development Engineer for the ZR1, “We aimed to make this car a standout—fun to drive, incredibly fast, yet comfortable and approachable. The ZR1 faced stiff competition, and I'm very proud that it stood out.” A Winning Streak That’s Hard to Ignore The PCOTY award is just the latest accolade in what’s becoming a serious victory lap for the ZR1. Recently, the car has: Been named TopGear.com’s 2026 U.S. Supercar of the Year Won Hagerty’s Ultimate Lap Battle Set six lap records at major North American racetracks Achieved a 233-mph top track speed, the fastest Corvette ever On top of that, both the ZR1 and the hybrid ZR1X now hold the distinction of being the fastest American-manufacturer cars ever to lap the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Yeah. That Nürburgring. Raising the Bar Again Road & Track posed a tantalizing question: Can Chevrolet raise the bar any higher? The answer arrived almost immediately in the form of the electrified, all-wheel-drive ZR1X. With 1,250 combined horsepower, it’s now the quickest-accelerating American production car ever, capable of: 0–60 mph in under 2 seconds A quarter-mile time under 9.0 seconds If that’s not raising the bar, it’s launching it into orbit. Final Thoughts Winning Road & Track’s 2026 Performance Car of the Year cements the Corvette ZR1’s place among the all-time greats—not just as a supercar slayer, but as a deeply engineered driver’s car. It’s ferocious, approachable, and relentlessly fast, all while continuing a Corvette tradition that shows no signs of slowing down.

Every once in a while, an automaker drops a number so absurd it makes you reread the press release just to confirm you didn’t imagine it. That’s exactly what Chevrolet did this week with the 2026 Corvette ZR1X. Here’s the headline that matters: 0–60 mph in 1.68 seconds. Yes, 1.68. On factory tires, pump gas, and a street-legal calibration. Let that sit for a second. Not a Lab Trick—A Real Drag Strip Run Chevy didn’t cherry-pick conditions or hide behind vague claims. The ZR1X ran these numbers at US 131 Motorsports Park in Michigan, on a prepped surface, using: Standard Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires Default aero setup Optional carbon-fiber wheels 93-octane pump gas Stock launch control And it didn’t just blast to 60 mph. On the same run, the ZR1X ripped through the quarter mile in 8.675 seconds at 159 mph, needing less than 100 feet to hit 60 and pulling a face-melting 1.75 g of acceleration. Chevy even dropped the official track slip, just in case anyone thought this was marketing math. Hypercar Performance, Corvette Money To put this into perspective, Chevy casually lined up the ZR1X against some of the fastest and most expensive cars on Earth: Rimac Nevera R – $2.5M Pininfarina Battista – $2.2M Bugatti Tourbillon – $4.6M Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut – $3.4M And yet here’s the wild part: the Corvette ZR1X starts at around $209,700. That means this American-built Chevy is running neck-and-neck with multi-million-dollar hypercars—and in some cases beating them to 60—while costing a fraction of the price. The only real caveat is that the Corvette’s numbers were set on a prepped surface, so it’s not a perfectly equal comparison. Still… come on. This is ridiculous in the best way. Even Without Prep, It’s Still Insane If you’re thinking, “Sure, but what about real-world conditions?” Chevy’s got you covered. On an unprepped surface, equipped with the ZTK Performance Package, the ZR1X still clocks: 0–60 mph in 1.89 seconds Quarter mile in 8.99 seconds Those are numbers that would’ve sounded like science fiction not that long ago. How Chevy Pulled This Off The magic lies in the ZR1X’s hybrid setup. Chevy essentially took: The electric AWD system from the E-Ray The 5.5-liter twin-turbo V-8 from the ZR1 Then turned everything up to eleven. The result is a total system output of 1,250 horsepower, with electric torque filling in the gaps and all-wheel drive clawing the car off the line like it’s being fired from a railgun. Corvette development engineer Stefan Frick handled the driving duties, running multiple back-to-back quarter-mile passes—every single one under 8.8 seconds. Consistency matters, and the ZR1X clearly has it. The Quickest Corvette Ever… and Maybe More MotorTrend’s current quickest-tested car is the Lucid Air Sapphire, with a 1.88-second 0–60 and a 9.02-second quarter mile. Based on Chevy’s numbers, the ZR1X looks poised to steal that crown—and OEM figures are usually conservative. Which means things could get even spicier once independent testing starts. The Deal of the Century? The ZR1X is lining up to go toe-to-toe with future exotics like the McLaren W1 and Ferrari F80—cars that will almost certainly demand seven-figure price tags. Meanwhile, the Corvette rolls in at just over $200K, waving an American flag and casually humiliating hypercars. If you already have a ZR1X on order, consider this your early holiday gift. If you don’t… well, Chevy just made the strongest argument yet that the modern Corvette isn’t just a sports car bargain—it’s one of the fastest production cars the world has ever seen.

When people talk about the Chevy Silverado, the conversation usually starts with horsepower, towing capacity, or how well it handles a job site or a weekend adventure. But let’s be honest—color matters. A lot. The Silverado’s color palette isn’t just an afterthought; it’s a lineup that lets you telegraph personality, purpose, and attitude before the engine even turns over. Whether you want subtle and classic or bold and head-turning, Chevy’s Silverado colors cover the full spectrum. Let’s dig in. The Classics: Timeless and Tough Chevrolet always makes sure the Silverado looks right in the colors that never go out of style. These are the shades you’ll see on job sites, in driveways, and rolling down the highway year after year. Black – Clean, aggressive, and endlessly cool. Black gives the Silverado a serious presence and pairs perfectly with chrome or blacked-out trim. Summit White – A Silverado staple. It’s practical, sharp, and highlights the truck’s lines without screaming for attention. Silver and Gray tones – Metallic silvers and darker grays bring a modern, industrial vibe. They’re low-maintenance, professional, and incredibly popular for a reason. These colors are about longevity. If you want your truck to look just as good five years from now as it does today, this category delivers. Earthy and Rugged: Built for the Outdoors For drivers who see the Silverado as a passport to the outdoors, Chevy’s earth-inspired colors hit the sweet spot. Dark greens and deep blues – These shades feel right at home on forest roads, lakeside campsites, or mountain trails. Brown and bronze hues – Subtle but distinctive, these colors lean into the Silverado’s rugged DNA without being flashy. These tones tend to emphasize capability. They say, “Yes, this truck works hard—but it also disappears into the wilderness when needed.” Bold Choices: Where Personality Shows Up Now we get to the fun part. Chevy knows not every Silverado owner wants to blend in, and that’s where the brighter colors come into play. Red options – Always a favorite, reds bring energy and confidence. They highlight body contours and look especially sharp in sunlight. Bright blues – Eye-catching without going overboard, these shades strike a balance between sporty and refined. And then there’s the standout… Tangier Orange: The Showstopper Tangier Orange is not here to be subtle—and that’s exactly the point. This vibrant, high-energy color transforms the Silverado from “nice truck” to “what is that?” It’s bold without being cartoonish, and it plays incredibly well with black wheels, dark trim, and aggressive off-road packages. Tangier Orange does a few things really well: Highlights the Silverado’s muscular lines – The color accentuates fender flares and body contours. Signals confidence – This is a color chosen by someone who knows what they want. Stands out anywhere – Parking lot, trailhead, or job site—this truck won’t get lost in the crowd. It’s not for everyone, and Chevy knows that. But for drivers who want their Silverado to make a statement before it ever moves an inch, Tangier Orange absolutely delivers. Choosing the Right Color for Your Silverado At the end of the day, the best Silverado color depends on how you use your truck—and how you want it to feel. Want timeless and resale-friendly? Stick with black, white, or silver. Planning outdoor adventures? Earth tones feel right at home. Want attention and attitude? Tangier Orange (or a bold red or blue) is calling your name. The Silverado’s color palette proves that capability doesn’t have to be boring. Whether you want understated strength or unapologetic flair, Chevy gives you the freedom to make the truck your own—right down to the paint. And if you go Tangier Orange? Yeah… people are going to notice.

When Car and Driver drops its annual 10Best list, the automotive world pays attention. After weeks of intense testing, comparison drives, and editor debates, only 10 vehicles per category make the cut. For 2026, Chevrolet didn’t just show up—it showed out. Three very different Chevy nameplates earned 10Best honors this year: the legendary Corvette, the smart and affordable Trax, and the massively capable Tahoe/Suburban. Different segments, different price points, same result: best in class. Corvette: A 10Best Icon That Keeps Raising the Bar The Chevrolet Corvette continues to be one of the most decorated vehicles in Car and Driver history. For 2026, both the Corvette Stingray and Corvette E-Ray landed on the 10Best Cars list, marking the 10th consecutive year a Corvette model has earned the honor. That’s not just impressive—that’s historic. Overall, the Corvette has now racked up 27 10Best wins over the award’s 43-year history. Editors once again praised the Corvette for delivering world-class performance at a price that undercuts many of its exotic competitors. The E-Ray’s electrified all-wheel-drive setup adds another layer of capability, proving the Corvette formula can evolve without losing its soul. Chevrolet Trax: Affordable, Practical, and Still a Winner At the opposite end of the spectrum sits the Chevrolet Trax, which continues its run on the 10Best Trucks and SUVs list. Redesigned for the 2024 model year, the Trax made waves by delivering standout design, interior space, and refinement—without the premium price tag. Starting at $21,900, the Trax earned praise from Car and Driver editors for its: Exceptional value Everyday practicality Surprising level of comfort and polish It first cracked the 10Best list in 2024, and defending that title for 2026 proves Chevy’s smallest SUV is doing something very right. Tahoe and Suburban: Full-Size Excellence, Recognized Rounding out Chevrolet’s 10Best sweep are the Tahoe and Suburban, which earned spots on the 2026 10Best Trucks and SUVs list following significant updates. These full-size SUVs impressed editors with their: Broad capability for families, towing, and road trips Refined interiors and available luxury features Versatility across trims and use cases Few vehicles can balance size, comfort, technology, and real-world utility the way the Tahoe and Suburban do—and Car and Driver took notice. One Brand, Three Segments, Total Dominance From a mid-engine sports car to an entry-level SUV to full-size family haulers, Chevrolet’s 2026 10Best wins highlight something important: excellence doesn’t live in just one corner of the lineup. Whether you’re chasing lap times, stretching your budget, or packing up the whole crew, Chevy has a vehicle that’s officially among the best you can buy. And when Car and Driver says you’re 10Best? That’s about as real as it gets.

In a landmark moment for American performance cars, the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 has been named the 2026 U.S. Supercar of the Year by TopGear.com in its inaugural U.S. Car Awards. This accolade isn’t just another trophy — it’s a validation that American engineering can compete at the highest levels of global performance automotive culture. A Supercar Built to Impress The Corvette ZR1 represents the cutting edge of Chevrolet’s performance ambitions. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter LT7 V8, it delivers a staggering 1,064 horsepower and 828 lb-ft of torque, making it the most powerful V8 ever assembled in the U.S. by an American automaker. When equipped with performance-focused aero and suspension packages — such as the ZTK Performance and Carbon Fiber Aero options — it generates over 1,200 pounds of downforce at speed, giving it race-car levels of grip while still remaining road-legal. Why It Took the Top Spot For the Supercar of the Year category, TopGear.com editors and testers pitted the ZR1 directly against performance rivals like the Ford Mustang GTD — and while both cars impressed, the ZR1’s lap times and sheer performance potential made it the clear victor. According to Top Gear Editor-in-Chief Jack Rix, the ZR1’s blend of power, speed, and engagement was “simply irresistible.” This isn’t just track bragging rights — it’s recognition from one of the most respected voices in automotive journalism, known for unbiased and thorough testing. American Performance This award marks more than just a win for Chevrolet — it’s a moment of pride for American automotive engineering. Traditionally, discussions of supercars have been dominated by European marques like Ferrari, McLaren, and Porsche. The ZR1’s accolade reshapes expectations, showing that a U.S.-built machine can stand toe-to-toe with the world’s best. And since this was the first-ever U.S.-focused awards from Top Gear, it sets a benchmark for future American high-performance vehicles to chase. Corvette’s Growing Legacy The ZR1’s recognition comes amid a broader surge in performance acclaim for Chevrolet and GM: Its engine architecture has earned accolades in other awards circuits. Track performance figures — including record-setting runs — have turned heads globally. This latest honor further cements the Corvette’s evolution from its muscle car roots into a true global performance contender.

When the checkered flag dropped at Phoenix Raceway to close out the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season, it wasn’t just Kyle Larson celebrating. With Larson’s victory in the No. 5 Chevrolet and his second career Cup Series Drivers’ Championship, Chevrolet clinched its fifth consecutive NASCAR Cup Series Manufacturers’ Championship — another milestone in a streak of dominance that shows no signs of slowing down. That victory capped a banner year for Team Chevy across all three of NASCAR’s national series. In the Xfinity Series, Jesse Love drove the No. 2 Chevrolet to both the Drivers’ Championship and Chevrolet’s ninth straight Manufacturers’ title — underscoring the brand’s deep bench of talent and engineering excellence. A Winning Formula Built on Teamwork For Eric Warren, GM’s Vice President of Global Motorsport Competition, Chevrolet’s success isn’t the result of luck: it’s the outcome of a deliberate strategy that began several years ago. “The momentum started in 2020 when we created GM Motorsports,” Warren explains. “The idea was to provide resources — especially in simulation — for all our partner teams so as not to duplicate efforts.” That collaborative model unites powerhouse organizations like Hendrick Motorsports, Richard Childress Racing, and Trackhouse Racing under one banner. Though they’re fierce rivals on Sundays, they share information, data, and insights to keep Team Chevy collectively ahead. “It’s like kindergarten recess sometimes. Everyone wants to go in a different direction,” Warren laughs. “But once you build momentum, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. You attract better people, better drivers, and better teams.” Investing in the Future That shared vision also allows Chevrolet to think long-term, not just about the next race, but the next generation. “If you’re fighting fires, you can’t invest in the future,” Warren says. “Our model allows us to look further down the road.” In NASCAR’s Truck and Xfinity Series, where teams often operate on tighter budgets, Chevrolet’s centralized support provides a crucial edge. “If you look at Xfinity, a large part of why there’s a lot of Chevy teams is nobody else is able to quite scale the support that we provide,” Warren notes. Chevrolet’s commitment extends beyond engineering to driver development. By scouting talent from across global motorsport, GM identifies young racers with the potential to succeed on NASCAR’s biggest stage. “Because of all the series we race in, we get exposed to talent at a much younger age,” Warren explains. “We can put drivers in different situations to understand who has the skills to thrive in NASCAR.” Always in the Fight Even when rival manufacturers bring faster cars to the track, Warren credits Chevrolet’s depth of talent and culture of collaboration for keeping the Bowtie brand in contention. “The talent and resiliency of our teams and drivers means that Chevrolet is never out of the conversation,” he says. Looking ahead to 2026, GM Motorsports is already building on its momentum. Warren points to continued development in aerodynamics for the Truck Series and long-term planning for Xfinity and Cup programs, which are all aimed at keeping Chevrolet on top. “We’ve done our homework for a while here,” he says. “It’s exciting to have the resources, but also to have all the teams and the drivers believe in the approach and that makes it tough for others to duplicate.” A Legacy of Excellence From Larson’s Cup triumph to Love’s Xfinity breakthrough, 2025 showcased the strength of Chevrolet’s racing ecosystem. It’s a story of collaboration, innovation, and relentless drive and one that cements Chevrolet’s place as the gold standard in NASCAR performance.

General Motors (GM) is driving into the future with a groundbreaking new centralized vehicle computing platform that will power both electric and gas-powered vehicles across its lineup — including Chevy and Cadillac models. The new system, launching first with the Cadillac ESCALADE IQ in 2028, redefines how GM vehicles are built, updated, and enhanced over time. A New Era of Connected Intelligence for Cadillac and Chevy Drivers GM’s new architecture represents a fundamental reimagining of how vehicle software, electronics, and performance work together. By consolidating dozens of control units into a single, powerful computing core, GM will unlock unprecedented levels of performance, reliability, and flexibility across both Cadillac luxury SUVs and Chevy trucks, sedans, and EVs. This centralized computing platform simplifies design and boosts reliability, while allowing faster over-the-air updates — so your Chevy Silverado EV or Cadillac LYRIQ can receive new features and system upgrades without ever visiting a dealership. Already, GM has more than 4.5 million vehicles capable of receiving these updates, with an additional two million joining that network each year. Smarter, Faster, and More Connected Imagine your Chevy Trailblazer or Cadillac CT5 responding instantly to remote commands, learning from your driving patterns, and delivering updates that make every ride smoother and safer. That’s the power of GM’s new computing platform. With 1,000 times more bandwidth and a 10x increase in software update capacity, GM’s upcoming system ensures drivers stay connected with next-generation infotainment, safety, and autonomous driving technologies. At the heart of this system is a liquid-cooled central compute unit powered by next-generation processors like NVIDIA Thor — the same kind of technology powering advanced AI systems. This core orchestrates everything from propulsion to braking, infotainment, and safety systems through a high-speed Ethernet backbone. Designed for Scale and Flexibility Whether you drive a Chevy Equinox EV or a Cadillac Escalade IQL, GM’s new architecture will deliver seamless performance and long-term upgradeability. The platform is propulsion-agnostic, supporting both electric and gas-powered vehicles — meaning innovation developed for one model can be scaled rapidly across the lineup. GM’s new design also isolates hardware from the software layer, offering “hardware freedom.” This allows GM to update or swap out parts like cameras, brake actuators, or displays without rewriting the core software — keeping vehicles future-ready and reducing maintenance costs. Built for the Next Generation of Chevy and Cadillac Innovation With up to 35 times more AI computing power and double the infotainment performance, this platform lays the groundwork for features like hands-free driving, real-time safety updates, and continuously evolving entertainment experiences. As Chevy and Cadillac move toward an era of intelligent mobility, this technology ensures every GM vehicle remains connected, responsive, and upgradeable — from your favorite Chevy accessories to the most advanced Cadillac driver-assistance systems. The Road Ahead GM’s centralized computing platform marks a major leap toward a smarter, more connected future — one where Chevy and Cadillac vehicles don’t just perform better but get better over time. Cars that learn and improve, architectures that deliver real-time intelligence, and platforms that merge digital innovation with automotive craftsmanship — that’s the promise of GM’s next-generation computing revolution.

If you're looking at a new SUV from Chevrolet, two names that often show up in the conversation are the Chevrolet Trailblazer and the Chevrolet Blazer. The names are similar and the styling shares some cues, but in reality they’re aimed at very different kinds of buyers. In this blog‑style post, I’ll run through what each model brings to the table (size, performance, features, cost) and then help you figure out which one might be right for you. Meet the Players Chevrolet Trailblazer The Trailblazer is the smaller, more compact crossover of the two. It’s positioned as a city‑friendly SUV or an affordable entry into the Chevrolet SUV lineup — think maneuverability, efficiency, and a modest price tag. Key highlights: Starts at a significantly lower price point compared to the Blazer. Engine options are smaller: e.g., 1.2 L or 1.3 L turbocharged engines producing ~137 to 155 hp and ~162 to 174 lb‑ft of torque. Excellent for fuel economy: one estimate gives up to ~29‑33 mpg highway for the FWD with the 1.3L engine. Dimensions are compact: length in the ~174 inch range, width ~71 inches (varies by year) so easier to park, navigate tight urban streets. Cargo / interior space: respectable, but less than the Blazer. Example: ~25.3 cu ft behind second row, ~54.4 cu ft with seats folded (2024 numbers) for Trailblazer in one source. Towing capacity is modest. Several sources note the max capacity is far lower than the Blazer’s. Chevrolet Blazer The Blazer is the “bigger sibling” — a midsize crossover that delivers more performance, more space, and a more premium feel (and cost) than the Trailblazer. Key highlights: Price starts higher than for the Trailblazer. Engine options significantly more robust: e.g., standard 2.0 L turbo 4‑cyl (~228 hp/258 lb‑ft) and optional 3.6 L V6 (~308 hp) in some trims. Larger dimensions: one source lists length ~191.8 inches, width ~76.7 inches. Cargo volume: e.g., up to ~30.5 cu ft behind second row, ~64.2 cu ft with seats folded in 2025 model. Towing capacity is much higher. For example a properly equipped Blazer can tow up to ~4,500 lbs in some situations. Because of the size and power, fuel economy is lower than the Trailblazer. For example, ~22/29 mpg city/highway or worse depending on engine/drive configuration. Which One Is Right for You? When you’re deciding between the Trailblazer and the Blazer, think about your real needs, budget, and lifestyle. Here are some guiding questions and scenarios. Choose the Trailblazer if… Your budget is tighter and you want to keep purchase price, insurance, fuel costs down. You primarily drive in the city or suburbs: commuting, errands, parking tight spaces, shorter distances. You don’t need large towing capacity or to haul heavy loads (e.g., boat/trailer). You carry people and cargo, but maybe not often large items or bulk gear — you’re OK with moderate space. Fuel economy is relatively important for you. You want a sensible, all‑round crossover with decent features for the money. Choose the Blazer if… You have more budget to spend (purchase + fuel + potentially insurance) and you want more capability. You drive longer distances, highway travel, maybe cross‑country, or you want more comfort on longer trips. You regularly carry more cargo or passengers and want the extra space/capacity. You might need to tow more (e.g., trailer, boat, larger equipment) or want more performance. You care about a more premium (or sporty) driving feel, stronger engine, more tech and features. You’re OK with a slightly larger vehicle (size, footprint) and associated costs. Some Practical Scenarios If you’re a young professional living in a city, with occasional weekend trips, no heavy towing, and you prioritize low cost and efficiency → Trailblazer makes a lot of sense. If you’re a family of 4 who regularly takes road trips, carries gear (camping, sports, etc.), maybe has a boat/trailer, wants a sharper driving experience → Blazer is likely the better fit. If most of your driving is stop‑and‑go, parking garages, tight urban streets: the Trailblazer will feel less cumbersome. If you value comfort, space and power, and don’t mind paying more, the Blazer delivers more vehicle for the money (although at higher cost). Final Thoughts Neither vehicle is “wrong” — each is well suited for a different mission. The Trailblazer is the smart, efficient choice; the Blazer is the more robust, upscale choice. Human nature often drives us toward “bigger is better,” but that’s not always the optimal decision when you factor in cost of ownership, parking/urban use, fuel, and how you actually drive. To summarize: Go Trailblazer if you want good everyday utility at a lower cost, efficient city/suburb driving, and modest needs. Go Blazer if you want more space, more power, more capability, and you’re willing to spend more and accommodate a larger vehicle in your lifestyle.

This October, Chevrolet is once again putting the power of pink in the spotlight. As part of its ongoing support for the American Cancer Society (ACS), Chevy has brought back its specially-themed pink Corvette Stingray pace car to lead the field in two of NASCAR’s biggest fall races — a bold and eye-catching symbol of the automaker’s 15-year commitment to the fight against breast cancer. The vibrant pink Stingray will pace the NASCAR Cup Series at Talladega Superspeedway and Martinsville Speedway, proudly representing the “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” initiative. This campaign raises both awareness and critical funds for breast cancer research, support services, and education — a cause that touches millions across the country. “Chevrolet stands with the American Cancer Society’s efforts to end breast cancer,” said Todd Christensen, Director, Motorsports Marketing & Activation at Chevrolet. “When the pink Chevrolet Corvette Stingray pace car leads the NASCAR Cup Series field for the next two weeks, we hope fans will join us in raising funds for ACS by participating in ‘Making Strides Against Breast Cancer’ events across the US this October.” Lap by Lap, Dollar by Dollar Chevrolet has pledged $500 for every caution lap the pink Stingray leads during the two featured races, up to $25,000. That means each yellow flag moment on track directly translates into support for those battling breast cancer. But that’s not all. In a high-stakes twist, Chevy will also donate $1,500 for every Team Chevy driver that finishes in the top 10 at either Talladega or Martinsville — potentially doubling the impact depending on race outcomes. A Legacy of Support Last year, the campaign saw 54 caution laps across both events, resulting in an $18,900 donation to the American Cancer Society. The 2024 pink Camaro SS pace car used in that campaign is set to go under the hammer at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Fall Auction on Friday, October 17. Chevrolet will donate 100% of the hammer price to ACS, continuing to drive impact off the track as well. First Stop: Talladega The 2025 campaign kicks off this Sunday, October 19, at the YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway — a key race in the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs. The pink Corvette Stingray will make its much-anticipated debut during the penultimate race of the Round of Eight, ensuring maximum visibility during one of the most-watched weekends in motorsports. Join the Drive Chevy’s commitment to “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” goes beyond aesthetics. The pink Corvette Stingray is more than just a pace car — it’s a mobile reminder of the power of community, hope, and horsepower in the fight against breast cancer. Whether you're at the track, tuning in from home, or walking in a local Making Strides event, there are many ways to support the cause this October. Because every lap, every finish, and every step matters.

After a short time away, the Chevrolet Bolt is making a comeback — and it's not just nostalgia driving it. The 2027 Chevy Bolt returns by popular demand, promising a refined, smarter, and faster electric experience at a price that doesn’t shock your wallet. With a starting MSRP of $29,990 (including destination), and an even more affordable $28,995 model coming later in the year, the Bolt is set to reclaim its title as America’s most affordable long-range EV. EV Affordability, Redefined Chevrolet is doubling down on what made the original Bolt beloved: practicality, range, and price. The 2027 model offers a GM-estimated 255 miles of range and DC fast charging up to 150 kW, meaning it can charge from 10% to 80% in just 26 minutes. That’s over 2.5x faster than the outgoing model. Even better, it's the first Chevy to come with a native NACS (North American Charging Standard) port, giving Bolt drivers access to more public chargers than ever before — including Tesla’s Supercharger network. Smarter Tech, Inside and Out This isn’t just a rehash of the old Bolt — the 2027 model is packed with the latest GM tech: 11.3-inch infotainment screen and 11-inch driver display with Google built-in Access to apps like Angry Birds, HBO Max, Chrome, Prime Video, and GameSnacks Super Cruise hands-free driving with improved Google Maps integration Voice control for climate, calls, texts, and even smart home devices via “Hey Google” Your daily commute just became a lot more connected — and a lot more fun.

The Bolt is powered by GM’s in-house X76 electric drive unit, which offers: Greater efficiency with less reliance on rare-earth materials Segmented magnets to reduce heat and energy loss Silicon carbide inverter tech for improved battery-to-motor performance Blended regenerative braking for better range and smoother stopping Charge at Home. Power Your Home. One of the most exciting new features is Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) capability. When paired with a GM Energy Home System, the 2027 Bolt can help power your home during an outage. With most Americans driving under 50 miles a day, the Bolt has more than enough range for daily use while offering peace of mind during emergencies. Practicality + Personality Chevrolet didn’t forget about the everyday perks either: A roomy hatchback layout Heated and ventilated front seats, heated steering wheel A redesigned cabin with more storage, open console, and available panoramic sunroof Multiple USB-C ports and wireless phone charging Over 20 standard safety features, including Intersection Collision Mitigation, Rear Automatic Braking, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert with Braking Introducing the Bolt RS: Sporty Meets Smart For the first time, the Bolt is available in a sporty RS trim, featuring: Unique RS badging Gloss black wheels and roof rails An exclusive Atomic Yellow exterior with red interior accent stitching It's a bold, fun option for drivers who want style to match their smarts. Limited Run. Big Opportunity. Chevy is positioning the 2027 Bolt as a limited run model — a celebration of one of its most beloved EVs. So if you’ve been waiting for an affordable, feature-packed EV that doesn’t cut corners on tech or performance, this is your moment. The Bolt is expected to begin shipping early next year, joining the Equinox EV in Chevrolet’s growing — and impressively affordable — electric lineup. Final Thoughts The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt marks a turning point in the EV market — not just because it’s affordable, but because it refuses to compromise on performance, range, or technology. With a bold new look, smarter powertrain, and the tech features EV drivers actually want, this isn't just a comeback — it's a glow-up. If you’ve been holding out for the right EV, your wait might just be over.

Chevrolet is charging ahead in the electric vehicle (EV) race—and now it has the hardware to prove it. The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV and the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV have just been named Top Picks in their respective categories by Cars.com, a leading automotive marketplace and resource for car shoppers. The Equinox EV earned the title of Top Pick: Value EV, while the Silverado EV was named Top Pick: EV Pickup Truck. These awards recognize not only Chevrolet’s technological innovation and performance but also the brand’s commitment to making EVs more accessible and capable for real-world drivers. Equinox EV: Affordable, Stylish, and Ready to Go If you’ve been holding out for an EV that won’t blow your budget, Cars.com says the Chevrolet Equinox EV deserves your attention. With a sleek design, family-friendly features, and a starting price under $35,000, the Equinox EV makes electric driving more accessible than ever. According to Cars.com, “If you’re interested in a good EV that won’t break the bank, you should look at the Chevrolet Equinox EV.” The site praised the compact SUV’s combination of affordability, long range, and appealing styling—noting that those attributes are key in today’s shifting EV market. As federal EV tax credits are set to expire at the end of September, shoppers are racing to lock in savings. But even after the federal incentives expire, many state and local rebates will remain in place, helping buyers make the switch to electric. Silverado EV: Power, Range, and Real-World Capability Chevrolet’s EV momentum doesn’t stop with crossovers. The 2026 Silverado EV continues to redefine what a truck can do—with Cars.com highlighting its impressive up-to-493-mile range, 12,500-pound towing capacity, and rugged capability. “Range anxiety is not something that should be much of a concern for Chevrolet Silverado EV drivers,” wrote Cars.com. Thanks to a massive 205-kWh battery and up to 350-kW DC fast-charging, the Silverado EV is built for both endurance and convenience. Beyond range, Cars.com also applauded the truck’s maneuverability, payload capacity (up to 2,350 pounds), and the fact that it still delivers the hard-working toughness truck owners expect. Chevy’s EV Strategy Is Paying Off These accolades come at a time when General Motors is seeing record-breaking EV sales. In August alone, GM sold more than 21,000 EVs, its highest monthly total ever. The Equinox EV and Silverado EV have been key drivers of this success, along with the Cadillac LYRIQ and GMC Sierra EV. Scott Bell, vice president of Chevrolet, summed it up best: “These awards mean a lot, not just because they highlight range, capability and value, but because they show that we’re delivering on our mission: building EVs that customers can count on.” The EV Market Is Evolving—And Chevy Is Leading the Way As new models hit the market and prices shift, Cars.com noted that new EV inventory rose by 1.4% year-over-year in August, while used EV inventory surged by 38%. With more options and greater availability, shoppers have more reasons than ever to consider electric. Whether you're looking for a practical daily driver or a workhorse with zero tailpipe emissions, Chevy now has award-winning options for both ends of the EV spectrum. Looking to go electric? The time to explore Chevrolet's EV lineup, especially the Equinox EV and Silverado EV, is now.
