Q Chevrolet

Under the hood of the 2012 Chevrolet Volt lives a powertrain that allows you to drive in all-electric mode when you want to, and seamlessly switches to gasoline when battery power is depleted. It's the kind of technology that has helped the Volt earn a number of awards in the last few years, and we foresee many more in the future.

In the meantime, the outside of the Volt has earned some applause, too...

As gas prices climb beyond $4/gallon, drivers on a budget (which is pretty much everybody), are trading in their gas-guzzlers for lighter, more fuel-efficient cars. For some, this means a compact SUV or hybrid vehicle. For others still, this means downsizing. Q Chevrolet is always happy to help drivers in the Irving area find the right compact or subcompact vehicle that best suits their lifestyle, but we know that many of you have safety...

Here's the thing: for Chevrolet engineers to take a car like the Chevrolet Camaro and try to make it better...well, that's just not an easy task. The Camaro is, and has been for a very long time, one of America's favorite muscle cars. It's always a bit of a gamble to change a formula that's proven very successful over the years.

Not that we don't think Chevy can...

Of course you know that the current-generation Chevrolet Impala is a standout when it comes to fuel economy, reliability, safety, and functionality. You must know, otherwise, it wouldn't have maintained its status as one of the most widely-known full-size sedans since its first iteration in the 60s.

There's just one thing that's become even more evident as Chevrolet continues to push major updates across their lineup: it doesn't look like a...

When you think of Chevrolet, you probably think of the proudly-American car-building experience with its roots deeply planted in Detroit. But, of course, you know that drivers all around the world choose Chevy models as their transportation of choice. So it should come as no surprise to hear that the automaker continues to bolster their presence around the world, and works really hard to support Chevrolet dealers globally, right?

The latest development on the global...

Ah, to live in sunny California. Vineyards, beaches, celebrities, traffic...Wait, traffic? Yup, for many drivers in California, battling traffic is just another part of life. Unless, of course, they're traveling in HOV lanes. These are lanes that the state of California has added to their existing highway system for vehicles with at least two (human) passengers, to help ease the congestion of everyday traffic. Some vehicles with low-emissions ratings, however, can travel in...

Not everybody is ready for a completely electric lifestyle. And by that we mean - it can be a bit difficult to wrap your brain around needing to plug your car in between drives, right? And while we admire the strides major automakers are taking in EV technology, it does all seem a bit daunting. So, Chevrolet pioneered plug-in hybrid technology with the Volt.  You can drive it on just the electric motor and battery. But...

Since Chevrolet released the 2012 Sonic, we've seen it do some pretty crazy things. It's kick flipped, it's bungee-jumped, it's even gone skydiving. So what's next?

Enter the band OK Go, famous for their daring music videos. For example, a few years ago, their music video for the song "Here It Goes Again," went viral. Not simply because it's an awesome song, but because the whole three minute video was filmed in one take - and it featured the band dancing on moving treadmills.

How do these two things fit together? Well, if you were watching the Super Bowl...

You probably know about Chevy's ongoing efforts to support more sustainable lifestyles. The company made a huge leap forward in eco-conscious driving with the plug-in hybrid Volt. And the lineup is already full of fuel-efficient models like the 40-mpg Sonic, and 36-mpg Cruze, and Chevy has no plans to stop there. In fact, the automaker is making efforts to go beyond low-emission vehicles, and they're asking for your help in making the world...

We think the team at Chevy had a lot of fun designing and engineering the Chevy Sonic. With both a hatch and sedan variant, a peppy 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, 40 mpg highway, and a 0-to-60 sprint time of just eight seconds, it's definitely one of the most enjoyable cars in the Chevy lineup today. Plus, since its released, it's jumped out of a plane, skydived, and even kick flipped over the world...
