Chevrolet's Crossover SUV lineup 

The SUV is as American as apple pie, and no American car manufacturer missed this point. Chevrolet has taken exceptional steps to put up a complete SUV line-up for its customers, and you'll have a hard time finding a more versatile set of sport utility vehicles with any other maker. Here at Northwest Hills Chevrolet Buick GMC, we have all models and all trim levels ready on display, waiting to be test driven by curious potential customers who may take the drive from Waterbury CT. Starting with the entry-level Trax and all the way up to the powerful, all-mighty Traverse, you’ll find that Chevy has all needs covered. Come and see for yourself at any time. But first, let us introduce the cars to you.

The Chevrolet Trax

Trax is Chevrolet's entry-level SUV. It's been described as the manufacturer's smallest utility vehicle, and although it lives up to its "utilitarian" distinction, you’ll be surprised to see how roomy the car actually is.

First of all, you can get upwards of 48.4 cubic feet of cargo space if you fold all chairs down, including the front passenger’s one. You’ll then have no less than 15 different places specifically designed to store your stuff. Things like storage trays, cupholders or door bins will keep you organized while on the move.

 A 7-inch screen in the middle of the dashboard will give you access to the famous MyLink infotainment system all Chevrolet cars come equipped with. It is widely regarded as one of the best in the business due to its user-friendliness and swift responsiveness to every command. The car is also equipped with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as standard features plus a rearview camera and WiFi hotspot connectivity. The system is designed to easily be linked to OnStar through the 4 G LTE connectivity feature so you can upgrade your Safety and Security levels while mobile at any time. Higher trim-levels also have all the modern safety options like Lane Assist, Pedestrian Detection or Emergency Braking. Even in their absence the car scored top marks (5 stars out of 5) for every test the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has put it through, except for rollover safety, where it scored 4 stars, but this is common among SUV’s as their center of gravity is inevitably higher off the ground than for most cars.

All this for a below-average price in its class it makes the Trax an option to be considered.

The Chevrolet Traverse

One step up the ladder and you’ll find the Chevrolet Traverse. We’re now talking about a full-sized crossover with upgraded features, a great choice for a family vehicle.

The first thing you notice about the Traverse is its masculine take on style. The outside is conservative to the point of almost being robust, but the interior is a different story. It’s got a stylish look and feel and you’ll be smothered in comfort. The roominess of the interior portrays the vehicle’s American roots as you can sit up to 7 adults inside without too much fuss. The front and the second row are exceptionally comfortable, with supportive sits that will make even the longest of commutes bearable.

The standard engine is a 3.6-liter V-6 with 310 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque. It’s an improvement on the previous year’s powertrain both in terms of HP and fuel economy. You’ll get 18 miles per gallon inside the city limits from it and 27 on the highway for front-wheel drive and 17/25 for the all-wheel-drive version.

Like any Chevrolet, the Traverse comes with a 7-inch touchscreen that can be upgraded to an 8-inch one that will give you access to the MyLink infotainment system. Also as standard options, you'll find a rearview camera, 6 USB ports to charge your phones, complete smart-phone integration through Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, HID headlights with LED running light, keyless ignition, and 18-inch wheels. A lot of features and you can add a ton more, especially safety-related, with higher trim levels.

    The Chevrolet Equinox

    The model in the middle of Chevy’s SUV line-up is the Equinox. A nimble car that’s gone through some remarkable upgrades lately.

    Taking inspiration from the Cruze, Chevrolet has given a brand new face to the Equinox. It’s got more aggressive lines, a more modern-sharp look, in a bid to win over the aesthetic-conscious part of the market, a segment they don’t cover with the previous two models. So, if looks are important to you, the Equinox might be exactly what you’re looking for.

    Besides all the goodies we’ve come to expect from a Chevrolet, like the 7-inch touchscreen that can be upgraded to the 8-inch version, or the impeccable MyLink infotainment system, considered as an industry benchmark, you’ll also have things like Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth connectivity, 4G LTE wi-fi, cruise control, keyless ignition, 17-inch wheels or active noise cancelation all included in the standard features.

    Besides the new look and the impressive list of standard features, you can expect a lighter, more dynamic car. Equinox shaded 400 pounds off its previous version and got a new 1.5-liter engine, capable of putting out 170 hp, and a total of 203 lb-ft from 2,000 to 4,000 rpm. Combined the two improvements make for a great driving experience and an overall more responsive and safer vehicle.

    As we've said, Chevrolet has covered all the angles with their SUV line-up. You get a utilitarian car that's not heavy on the pocket in the Trax, a modern-chic, comfortable family car that’s very easy on the eye in the Equinox and the absolute king of SUV’s, the powerful, absurdly spacious and comfortable Traverse. Whatever is more of your style, you’ll be able to give it a test drive if you visit us at Northwest Hills Chevrolet Buick GMC in Torrington CT.
