Searching for a New Chevy SUV?

Not so long ago, a Chevy fan was either really into trucks, or really into sports cars. Then along came Chevy SUVs: a full line of super-duty family vehicles that manage to blend the work ethic of a Chevy truck, with the drivability of a coupe, and the power of a sports car. The first SUV was the Chevy Suburban Carry-All, an eight-passenger vehicle built on a heavy-duty truck chassis. Since then, the segment has evolved to put the “fun” in “function.” While they might not be as exhilarating as a Corvette or a Camaro, and they may not be able to pull a several-thousand-pound gooseneck trailer like their Heavy Duty siblings, Chevrolet SUVs have a special place in the segment as reliable, comfortable, and well-engineered multi-purpose vehicles.

Chevy’s 2020 lineup of SUVs includes six versatile vehicles that are equally capable at the campsite or soccer practice, in the mountains or in the city. Each vehicle includes tons of options, technology, safety features, and trim packages that can help you get anywhere you need to be. With plenty of room for passengers and cargo alike, and towing capacity to boot, the new decade starts off on the right foot SUVs and crossovers in the Chevrolet family.

2020 Chevy Trax: Starting Off Right

The Chevy Trax has often been considered an “intro SUV,” due to its smaller size and economical price tag, but that’s not to say it isn’t loaded with features. The vehicle seats up to five passengers, yet offers eight different seating configurations to accommodate people and cargo alike. With the front seat folded flat, Trax can even accommodate cargo up to eight feet long, for a maximum cargo capacity of 48.4 cubic feet.

The 2020 Chevy Trax is offered in three trims: the LS, LT, and Premier. All models feature a 1.4L turbo ECOTEC engine that has a fuel economy of 26 mpg city and 31 mpg highway. For additional control regardless of road conditions, consider adding the optional all-wheel drive system.

The base LS model is well equipped with ten airbags, a rearview camera, and the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system. The LT trim adds a roof rack, deluxe cloth upholstery, and remote start, while the Premier models have a leatherette seating and a power sunroof. Drivers of the LT models can choose the Redline Edition, which gives the Trax a seriously sporty visage. The Redline Edition adds 18-inch black-finish aluminum wheels with red accent stripes, and Jet Black interior, featuring deluxe cloth or leatherette seating

2020 Chevy Equinox: Small Yet Might

The 2020 Chevy Equinox is technically considered a “small SUV,” but with seating for up to 5 passengers, a maximum cargo space of 63.9 cubic feet, and a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds, it’s definitely a highly capable vehicle for driving, hauling, and packing up for long trips.
