Your Commute Just Leveled-Up with These Popular Chevys

Did you know that the average one-way commute in Georgia is 28 minutes? This means that many of us spend at least an hour in our vehicles every day, which doesn’t include time spent running errands or navigating school pick-up and drop-off. As your Sugar Hill Chevy dealer, we believe that any time you spend in your vehicle should be enjoyable and, dare we say, relaxing!

Chevrolet’s 2022 lineup offers all this and more with a remarkable selection of cars, trucks, and SUVs that are designed to meet a variety of budget and driving needs. What’s even better is that Chevrolet has some of the most efficient models, which means you can get behind the wheel of a capable workhorse or a spacious SUV without spending a fortune on fuel. Add in the vast array of cutting-edge technology that ranges from the infotainment system and built-in Amazon Alexa to safety and driver-assist tools that give you confidence, and it’s easy to see why these Chevys make great commuter vehicles!

Most Efficient: 2022 Bolt EUV and 2022 Bolt EV

If you’re looking for the most efficient Chevy in the lineup, you’re in the right place as the automaker gives you two remarkable options with the refreshed 2022 Bolt EV and the all-new 2022 Bolt EUV that deliver an EPA-estimated range between 247 and 259 miles. The 2022 Bolt EV builds on the Bolt’s legacy as one of the most affordable EVs available. For 2022, it ushers in a modern design with new exterior colors, LED lighting, and an interior replete with sophisticated details and sport-inspired touches like the flat-bottom steering wheel. You’ll also find all the technology you need at your fingertips with the 10.2-inch color touchscreen display that’s home to the all-new Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system and wireless smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The all-new 2022 Bolt EUV takes everything you love about the Bolt EV and puts it on an SUV platform. As expected, the Bolt EUV distinguishes itself with its contemporary design both inside and out as well as a suite of innovative tools that make it a must-have for commuters. The Bolt EUV is the first in the Chevy lineup to offer Super Cruise, which is the first true hands-free driver-assist technology in the industry. Compatible with over 200,000 miles of roadways throughout the United States and Canada, Super Cruise lets you take your hands off the wheel as the Bolt EUV navigates the roadway as long as your focus stays on the road ahead.

Most Versatile: 2022 Colorado

Thanks to trucks like the 2022 Chevy Colorado, commuters are no longer limited to fuel-efficient sedans. The Colorado is the smallest truck in Chevy’s lineup, but it proves that size doesn’t discriminate when it comes to versatility and capability. In fact, the Colorado’s size makes it an ideal commuter vehicle because it’s easy to maneuver, agile, and incredibly responsive whether you’re navigating rush-hour traffic in the city or cruising at highway speeds.

Available in the Work Truck, LT, Z71, and ZR2 trims, the Colorado is a versatile road warrior that gives you the power and capability you need exactly when you need it. You have the choice between three powertrains––the 2.5-liter, 3.6-liter, or the 2.8-liter turbo-diesel––that deliver anywhere from 18 to 30 MPG. The turbo-diesel is the most efficient and the most capable as it averages 20 MPG in the city and 30 MPG on the highway with a maximum trailering capacity of 7,700 pounds.

The Colorado’s wide range of power makes it incredibly versatile. For example, you can easily navigate your daily commute and pull the family camper to the lake for the weekend, the latter of which you can do with confidence thanks to innovative trailering tools like Hitch Guidance. If blazing a new trail is more your style, you’ll find the Colorado is ready to get a little mud on the tires, especially with trims like the ZR2 or the Trail Boss package that adds a suspension lift, skid plates, exclusive ZR2 wheels, and tow hooks.

Most Family-Friendly: 2022 Traverse

The 2022 Traverse shows how attuned Chevrolet is to the needs of its customers. With more and more families looking for minivan alternatives, the Traverse gives drivers exactly what they want and need. It’s a sophisticated SUV that offers seating for up to eight, a best-in-class cargo volume of 98.2 cubic feet, and a remarkable balance of power and efficiency. You won’t find anything else like it in the segment.

For 2022, the Traverse offers a refreshed appearance both inside and out. Its powertrain holds steady with the 3.6-liter V6 engine that’s mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission to deliver 310 horsepower for quick acceleration and responsive handling. This power isn’t mutually exclusive with efficiency as the Traverse averages 18 MPG in the city and 27 MPG on the highway, which is remarkable for its size and makes the Traverse a great commuter SUV for families.

Chevy makes the 2022 Chevy Traverse even more attractive with special packages like the Midnight Edition, Sport Edition, and the Redline Edition, all of which add distinguishing features to the SUV. Safety is, of course, a top priority with every trim equipped with the Chevy Safety Assist suite of tools that includes automatic emergency braking, a following distance indicator, front pedestrian braking, forward collision alert, IntelliBeam automatic high beam control, and lane keep assist with lane departure warning. To make your commute truly hassle-free, opt for the Traverse RS, Premier, or High Country with Adaptive Cruise Control, which actively monitors the flow of traffic and adjusts your cruising speed as needed.

Most Economical: 2022 Equinox

If you don’t need a three-row SUV like the Traverse, then you’ll want to look at the 2022 Equinox that makes our list as the most economical in the lineup. The compact crossover offers two rows of seating and a long list of luxuries and conveniences like wireless smartphone integration, a 4G LTE WiFi hotspot, built-in Amazon Alexa, and premium interior finishes. These details add to the Equinox’s value and make your time in the driver’s seat far more enjoyable.

The Chevy Equinox’s small size makes it agile and easy to maneuver in busy or congested areas. Its 1.5-liter turbocharged engine delivers 170 horsepower, which is more than enough to quickly accelerate whether you’re zipping around town or cruising at highway speeds. More importantly, this power doesn’t sacrifice efficiency, with the Equinox averaging 26 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the highway on FWD models. Opting for the Equinox with AWD decreases its efficiency to 25 MPG in the city and 30 MPG on the highway, which is minuscule when you consider the added capability that Chevy’s AWD system has to offer.
