About Chevy’s

Thomas Champeval asked:


Buying a used Chevrolet Blazer SUV may be a good choice as it is considered among the best medium sized used SUV’s available. It is capable of carrying heavy loads and negotiates difficult terrain off-road with ease. However, it is also soft, comfortable and civilized used vehicle; these are benefits of its rigid chassis, sophisticated suspension and powerful brakes. They are available with curtain airbags to enhance the protection of the head area.

When considering buying a used SUV you may want to find one that has the excellent StabiliTrak stability system from GM, which is now become standard across the whole used Blazer range, StabiliTrak helps the driver maintain control, thereby reducing or eliminating the problems in handling during emergency situations, which has to be a big plus for any used vehicle.

When you purchase a used Blazer, you will be amazed how stable, maneuverable, and well-controlled it is even on very winding roads at speed. It is also quite capable in the off road environment when it is equipped with its sophisticated system of four-wheel-drive, these are perhaps some of the main reasons it is such a popular used SUV.

For added saftey the StabiliTrak electronic stability system from GM is now standard on all newer used Blazer models. This system uses a full set of sensors and controls movement coupled with actuators on the accelerator and brakes the wheels on an individual basis, to detect and reduce any involuntary change in the direction of the vehicle.

Other safety features include dual-stage air bags for driver and front seat passenger, which inflate with less intensity in crashes at a lower speeds. The seat belt pre-tensioners that tighten belts to avoid the body being loose at the time of airbag activation. The OnStar system includes Automatic Crash Notification System, which automatically transmits data from the scene of the accident to emergency services, this is a quality used vehicle feature that you should take into account when buying a used vehicle.

A pre-owned Blazer is larger than the Tahoe and sets the standard with its superior handling and stability. The long wheelbase adds a substantial cargo space and seating for seven passengers. Used auto dealers usually offer the Blazer comes with an extraordinarily smooth and modern Vortec 4200 engine six-cylinder in line engine, which the first choice power unit for many used SUV enthusiasts.

Equipped with the V8, a 2WD Blazer can tow up to 7000 pounds, the standard Vortec 4200 found on most used car dealership lots is a 4.2L, six-cylinder in line that generates 291 horsepower. The Vortec 5300 5.3 liter V8 with valves at the helm, is qualified with 300 horsepower, 330 lb / ft of torque, all used Blazer SUV’s come with standard four-speed automatic transmission.

Chevrolet says that the Blazer can go from 0-60 mph in 5.7 seconds, which is fast for such a large and powerful used vehicle. So don’t delay get down to the used car dealership and see what they have available in the exiting Blazer range.

Chevrolet is one of the most popular brands of General Motors, prevalent in India. The company is known to roll out a huge variety of car models in the Indian car industry.

Entry to India

Chevrolet is not new in India. It has an age old history starting from 1928, with its first office established in Sewree, Mumbai. General Motors (GM), Chevrolet’s parent company, was the first car manufacturer to set up an assembly plant in the country.

In this assembly production of the well proven 171 cubic inches, 24.7hp four-cylinder engine and Chevrolet’s first four-wheel mechanical brakes started in 1928. In the first year of production, the company rolled out nearly 13,903 General Motors cars and trucks from its Sewree plant.

The Chevrolet car brand gradually proved to be reliable and trustworthy. Later in 1930, when Ford introduced its new car model with all steel body, the Indian market became more competitive. In response to the Ford discovery, Chevrolet introduced a revolutionary six-cylinder car engine, an engine that boosts Chevrolet car sales in India in 1931.

Name and Symbol

Like the Chevrolet cars, Chevrolet name and symbol also has an age old history. It was experimented in a Detroit garage. Chevrolet was a name given by William Durant, a successful buggy manufacturer from Flint, Michigan. He took this name from the most prominent race car driver, Louis Chevrolet.

The symbol of the car brand was introduced in 1914. It was inspired by a wallpaper pattern in a hotel room in Paris. William Durant detached a small piece from that wallpaper and kept it in his wallet. Later he used the same piece as an advertising icon and marquee of today’s Chevrolet.

Chevrolet Cars in India

The company has introduced a number of high end cars in the Indian car market. All the car models comprising Chevrolet Spark, Chevrolet Aveo, Chevrolet Optra SRV, Chevrolet Aveo U-VA, Chevrolet Optra Magnum, Chevrolet Tavera, and Chevrolet Captiva, are successfully running on Indian roads. Even the recently launched Chevrolet Tavera Neo 2 is believed to carve its own niche in the respective car segment.

All the Chevrolet car models, whether it is a hatchback or an SUV, are a complete blend of high performance, improved fuel efficiency, excellent ride, and joyful driving experience. Chevrolet also emphasizes on safety features to deliver an excellent and safe driving to all its valued customers from the start to the end of their journey on wheels. The entire portfolio of cars is designed with a blend of advanced and innovative safety features.

Vision

In future, Chevrolet aims high to roll out more cars in the Indian car market. The recently established engine plant is also a vital part of its expansion plan in the country.

The recent addition in the visionary Chevrolet cards is the Chevrolet Volt, a hybrid petrol-electric concept car. Furthermore, the company plans a slew of car launches with enhanced performance and fuel efficiency in the Indian sub-continent.

The Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid touts itself as ‘America’s first full-size two-mode SUV hybrid.’ This amazingly fuel efficient hybrid car reduces gas prices for any driver. In fact, this hybrid SUV is so popular that the Green Car Journal has named it the ‘Green Car of the Year’.

The Tahoe is available in two wheel drive or four wheel drive and uses a ‘hybrid propulsion system.’ This system operates in three different ways. First, there is electric power which serves to maximize fuel economy. Second, there is engine power which can be utilized when more power is needed. Third, a combination of the two types of power can be used. This is courtesy of the Vortec V8 which kicks in when needed or shuts off to conserve at other times.

Combat gas prices with Tahoe which uses around 21 miles per gallon (MPG) in the city or 22 MPG on the highway on the two wheel drive models. There is a less than a significant drop for the four wheel drive models: 20 MPG in the city and 20 MPG for highway driving.

The Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid offers excellent fuel economy helping you to save money with the high gas prices. This hybrid car (SUV) offers up to 50% better fuel economy when in the city over the Tahoe that is a non-hybrid. This hybrid SUV truly combines efficiency with the top notch performance that you would expect from any SUV. Go green today with the Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid. Who knew that an SUV could be this environmentally friendly AND easy on your wallet?

First the driver side headlight, highbeam and lowbeam went weak. Second my horn quit working. Then my interior light stopped working. My dad has cleaned all the grounds and he just put in a new battery. When you turn on the headlights and then turn them off, the daytime running lights will stop working and the daytime running light indicator on the dashboard will flash.

Seems these brands of america need to join forces to compete correctly with these oriental entries. Is it too much to envision Nascar as the pre-eminate authority to govern such a venue of stock-car racing?

PLYMOUTH, MA…

Earlier this year, Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac was named a green partner of Plymouth Rock Studios. So, it’s probably not a huge surprise that the winner of Tracy’s Driven Student for January is Plymouth North High School’s Green Team.

The Plymouth North High School Green Team is a group of students and teachers working on ways to conserve energy and projects that will beautify the North campus. The group’s first initiative, assembling and installing insulation units for the windows of the school has already helped Plymouth North save around $400 in heating costs for the month of December.

To help celebrate this accomplishment and the students efforts in making Plymouth North a “greener” operation, Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac treated Green Team members to a pizza party. Students and teachers recognized for their work with the Green Team include: Edwin Pena, John Coughlin, Lauren Foley, Rose Kelly, Derrell Elliott, and Sean McNulty (students); Mario Cedrone, Don Ivas, Mike Bastonin, Emerson Coleman (teachers).

“Chevrolet and Cadillac have both made a very conscious effort to build hybrid vehicles and other automobiles with greater fuel efficiency to reduce emissions that could damage the environment. So, it’s quite fitting that we give the ‘Driven Student’ award to Plymouth North’s Green Team, people who are also doing their part to make Plymouth greener,” said Jeff Tracy, president of Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac.

“Again, we can’t thank Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac for recognizing the efforts of the Green Team. This is a new program that’s literally just getting started and already making an impact on the school, with much more to come. I can’t think of a more deserving group for the award or the pizza party,” said Derek Thompson, Green Team advisor.

Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac’s Driven Student program recognizes Plymouth high school students for their performance and achievements in and out of the classroom. Awarded on a monthly basis, recipients are selected by faculty and advisors at the student’s given school.

GM cars especially chevrolet cars i have found in my past experience make a lot of noise but not this optra.chevrolet optra (the one i test drove) is reasonably priced at 9 Lakh exhowroom delhi. It competes with the best know car in its segment the - the japanese pride honda city.

My experience was great riding chevy optra , the seats were comfy and there is enough legroom to just let me long legs relax while i drive :). I have found honda city owing to its low steering wheel does get in way of my long legs. Anyways i do love honda city as well, let me focus on the chevrolet optra Chevrolet has launched optra magnum in 2 petrol versions(the base model is not at all popular and i could not find it in the dealer showroom either so i have chosen to skip it :)) :- 1) The petrol 1600 cc model - Chevrolet Optra 1.6 LS petrol

2) The petrol 1600 cc top end model - Chevrolet Optra 1.6 LT petrol

The top end model comes with the cool sun roof and is priced roughly 1.2 lakh more expensive than the Chevrolet optra 1.6 LS model. What model Chevrolet optra 1.6 LT offers more is the same colored rear view mirrors with the turn indications in the rear view mirror themselves. The rear view mirrors are also electric foldable in Chevrolet optra 1.6 LT Leather seats are not available in Chevrolet optra 1.6 LS , while it is availabe in the Chevrolet optra 1.6 LT model.

Chevrolet Optra is also available in diesel models. There are three variants available in diesel :- 1) The diesel base model - Chevrolet optra 2.0 LS 2) The diesel mid model - Chevrolet optra 2.0 LT

3) The diesel top end model - Chevrolet optra 2.0 MAX
