It seems like car commercials tend to show cars either cruising through a city or tearing up some kind of off-road obstacle course. Both are exciting. So, shouldn’t a car be able to do both? Well, some cars can. Unfortunately, advertisements don’t always show this versatility, but if there is one brand that is up to this dualistic task, it is Chevrolet. Chevy’s best outdoor vehicles can also serve as sleek and stylish city cruisers; it doesn’t need to be a sports car to exude elegance and romance. Step into a Chevy dealer, and you’ll see for yourself. This is certainly a combination you want if you’re going to be driving in an area that provides a healthy combination of urbanity and outdoor activity. So, why not get a Chevy that is well-suited to both? You may ask, “well, what Chevy might that be?” Well, there is more than one answer to that. Let’s take a look at the most versatile Chevys on the market.
Suburban
The Suburban is a Chevrolet classic. With the longest-lasting nameplate in the brand’s history, it is fair to say that the vehicle is tried and true. This large SUV has everything: the performance specs, the design cues, and the interactive entertainment and safety technology (not to mention the fact that it’s a pleasure to drive). For years, the Suburban has been sought out for both personal and professional use. Why? Because it’s an extremely impressive vehicle with athletic capability with design elements that make it usable for limousine and luxury vehicle servicing. So, whether you are out for a day of work, a day of play, or a night on the town, the Suburban is up to the task. But those are just the basics of the Suburban. There are so many details that make the vehicle what it is, and it keeps getting better every year.
In 2021, the Suburban underwent a makeover so significant that an “All-New” generation of the beloved SUV began. Increasing its already-impressive interior space (for a maximum cargo volume of 144.7 cubic feet) by taking its chassis technology up a major step, the 2021 Suburban is better than you’ve ever seen it. If you’re looking for amazing performance capabilities, classy interior design features, and leading technology, all put into one huge SUV with lots of space; then the Suburban is the way to go. If you want all of that, but just not quite so big, I know exactly where to turn.
Tahoe
The Tahoe is the sibling to the Suburban. Similar? Yes. The same? No. The Tahoe is much more efficient in its size. If you’re looking for an SUV but don’t want something quite so monstrous, the Tahoe is the perfect fit (no pun intended). With its slightly more compact features, the Tahoe provides all of the fantastic features you want in a large SUV without the potentially overwhelming size of the Suburban. Do not be fooled into thinking, however, that the Tahoe is a rinky-dink SUV. On the contrary, the 2021 Tahoe, which underwent the same generational makeover as the Suburban, with an increase in cargo space behind the third-row of seats.
With the 2021 Tahoe comes an all-new suspension system. The Air Ride Adaptive Suspension system provides all four corners of the vehicle with load-leveling capabilities and up to four inches of ride height adjustment. This dynamic suspension system combined with Magnetic Ride Control makes for a highly-capable driving experience. Chevy SUVs are among the finest vehicles in the automotive world. Whether you go with the Suburban or the Tahoe, you’ll be in for a good ride.
Trailblazer
The Chevy Trailblazer does not get the attention that it deserves. This SUV is quite remarkable, with its healthy balance of sportiness and athleticism. The vehicle’s sharp exterior features and sleek interior design elements make it a dynamic, exciting, and manageable drive. The ACTIV trim specifically equips the Trailblazer with features that make it fit to cruise down the city street or to climb the off-road terrain. With the 1.3-liter ECOTEC Turbo engine, special shocks, sport terrain tires, 17-inch aluminum wheels, and a functional skid plate, the ACTIV Trailblazer is ready to rumble.
But, while you’re not off-roading, the ACTIV Trailblazer provides quite a nice interior, with available jet black seating surfaces with almond butter accents. This color combination adds a layer of refinement to the interior, making it more inviting and interesting. So, with the combination of aesthetics and athleticism provided by the Trailblazer, you will be all set for a day on the trail and a night on the town.
Silverado
You may be surprised by this one. Sure, a large pickup makes sense for the off-roading component; but the fashion component–really? Yes! The Silverado is one of Chevrolet’s finest and most sought after vehicles. Of course, it is sought after because of its amazing performance capabilities (up to 420 horsepower and 460 pounds-feet of torque, to be specific), but Chevy truly brings out all of the stops when it comes to the Silverado’s design features. If you’re looking for this combination at its finest, the place to turn to is the upcoming Silverado ZR2.
The upcoming ZR2 takes the Silverado, amazing as it is, and transforms it into a true off-roading vehicle. With a redesigned exterior incorporating its brand new off-roading features (such as dual exhaust outlets, a high-approach front bumper, 33-inch tires, and even Chevy floaties) into the exterior design features. Form is function for the ZR2, and the form is quite nice.
The Silverado has long been renowned for its design features. The ZR2 emphasizes this with wood accents, a 13.4-inch diagonal infotainment screen that sits nicely at the front and center of the vehicle, and even a new electronic transmission range selector that reimagines the vehicle’s interior design. The Silverado provides the sleekness you would seek in a luxury vehicle and does so with a good deal of height and strength, so you’ll be in for quite a ride.
Upcoming Silverado EV
While we’re on the topic of upcoming Silverado’s, Chevy very recently announced that it is releasing its first-ever electric Silverado. This vehicle will be truly revolutionary, changing the game both for electric vehicles and for pickup trucks. The Silverado has always been known as one of the finest pickup trucks in the automotive world, but the Silverado EV will truly surpass anything you thought the Silverado could ever be.
The vehicle’s all-new Ultium battery platform will allow this to be the most capable, powerful, and flexible vehicle you’ve ever seen in both the EV market and the pickup market. With a redesigned exterior to fit its electric theme and a modernized interior with revolutionary technology, you won’t be hurting for aesthetics with this upcoming EV pickup. What might be even more exciting than that, however, is the vehicle’s performance capabilities. With an estimated maximum of 664 horsepower, 780 pounds-feet of torque, and the ability to go from zero to sixty in 4.5 seconds, your standards for vehicle performance will be forever changed.
A Vehicle for All Occasions
If you’re going to invest in a vehicle, you want one that will see you through all kinds of adventures, whether they are urban, suburban, or off the road completely. Some vehicles are meant for just one of those adventures, but Chevy makes sure to provide plenty of vehicles that are well-suited to all of those. This is just a starting point, but with vehicles like the ones we’ve discussed here, you’ll be all set for whatever adventure may come your way.
