More Horsepower, More Voltage, More Attitude: Meet the Grand Sport X

The Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport has long represented an appealing balance of performance, handling, and everyday usability within the Corvette family. For 2027, Chevrolet takes that formula in an electrifying new direction with the Grand Sport X here at the Mid Missouri Powerhouse.

The recipe starts with the naturally aspirated LS6 V-8 and adds an electric motor powering the front axle. The result is a remarkable 721 horsepower, combining traditional V-8 character with instant electric assistance.

For Corvette shoppers, the Grand Sport X brings another dimension to the legendary sports car. It delivers the muscular sound and feel of a naturally aspirated V-8 while adding electric power to the front wheels. The result is a Corvette engineered for serious acceleration, sharp cornering, and an engaging driving experience.

721 Horsepower Changes the Game

At the heart of the Grand Sport X is a 535-horsepower LS6 V-8. Chevrolet gives that engine an impressive 520 lb-ft of torque, providing the traditional Corvette performance that enthusiasts expect.

Then comes the electric boost.

The front-axle electric motor contributes another 186 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque. Because electric torque arrives instantly, the additional power is especially useful when launching from a stop or accelerating out of a corner.

Put the two power sources together, and the Grand Sport X produces a combined 721 horsepower.

That figure puts the GSX firmly in the conversation when it comes to high-performance American sports cars. More importantly, the power is delivered through a sophisticated hybrid all-wheel-drive system designed to make the most of both the V-8 and electric motor.

Electric Power Meets V-8 Character

The Grand Sport X is not simply a Corvette with an electric motor added to the equation. Its eAWD system gives the car another tool for putting its substantial power to the pavement.

The compact battery pack is positioned in the center tunnel between the occupants. That placement helps integrate the hybrid system into the Corvette's mid-engine architecture while supporting the electric motor at the front axle.

The electric motor also provides torque vectoring assistance. That technology can help distribute power during cornering, giving the Grand Sport X another layer of performance capability when accelerating out of turns.

For driving enthusiasts, this is where the GSX becomes especially intriguing. The naturally aspirated V-8 provides the familiar Corvette experience, while electric assistance adds another source of immediate thrust.

Grand Sport DNA With an X Factor

The Grand Sport formula has always been about bringing performance hardware together in a balanced package. The 2027 Grand Sport X expands on that philosophy with equipment designed to take advantage of its additional power.

The GSX comes standard with several performance-focused features, including carbon-ceramic brakes, Magnetic Ride Control, enhanced powertrain cooling, and Performance Traction Management.

That collection of technology gives the Grand Sport X the hardware needed to make the most of its 721 horsepower. Magnetic Ride Control helps the Corvette adapt its suspension behavior to changing driving conditions, while Performance Traction Management provides drivers with another way to tailor the car's performance characteristics.

Enhanced cooling is also an important part of the package. With a powerful V-8 working alongside an electric motor, maintaining appropriate temperatures is critical to delivering consistent performance.

Big Rubber for Big Performance

The Grand Sport X also makes a visual statement with its wide stance and substantial Michelin tires.

The standard all-season setup uses 275/30ZR-20 tires up front and massive 345/25ZR-21 rubber at the rear. Those dimensions give the Corvette an unmistakable performance presence while providing the contact patch needed to handle its considerable output.

For drivers who want to emphasize the car's performance character even further, the available Sport Performance package brings stiffer springs, revised adaptive damper calibration, and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer tires.

That gives Corvette shoppers another opportunity to tailor the Grand Sport X to their preferred driving style.

Magnetic Ride Control Meets Grand Sport Performance

The suspension technology behind the Grand Sport X is another major part of its appeal.

Magnetic Ride Control uses adaptive magnetorheological dampers to respond to changing road and driving conditions. The Grand Sport X combines that technology with a touring-oriented suspension as standard equipment, creating a performance car that can also deliver a composed road-going experience.

The available Sport Performance package shifts the setup toward a more focused character with firmer springs and corresponding damper calibration.

That flexibility is particularly appealing because Corvette owners can choose the setup that best matches how they plan to enjoy the car. Whether the goal is spirited back-road driving, highway cruising, or an occasional performance-focused outing, the Grand Sport X offers a sophisticated foundation.

Performance That Works From the Corner Exit

The electric front motor does more than add to the horsepower total. Its instant torque can have a noticeable effect when the Corvette accelerates out of a corner.

With 145 lb-ft of electric torque available at the front axle, the GSX has an additional source of propulsion ready to respond immediately. The eAWD system can also use torque vectoring to help manage power as the Corvette transitions through turns.

That combination creates a compelling performance formula. The V-8 supplies substantial power from behind the driver, while the electric motor adds immediate front-axle assistance.

For enthusiasts, the appeal is easy to understand. The Grand Sport X brings together two very different power sources and uses sophisticated electronic controls to make them work as a unified performance system.

A Corvette With Serious Road Presence

The Grand Sport X also stands out as a member of the Corvette family. Its wide-body proportions, aggressive stance, large wheels, and performance-focused hardware give it the visual presence expected from a Grand Sport.

Inside, the driver remains at the center of the experience. The mid-engine layout puts the cockpit close to the action, while the performance-oriented chassis systems help connect the driver to the road.

The result is a Corvette that combines dramatic styling with serious engineering underneath.

The Grand Sport X Raises the Bar

The 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport X demonstrates how modern performance can bring together classic V-8 character and cutting-edge electrification.

With 535 horsepower from the LS6 V-8 and another 186 horsepower from the front electric motor, the GSX reaches an impressive 721 horsepower. Add eAWD, torque vectoring, carbon-ceramic brakes, Magnetic Ride Control, advanced cooling, and substantial Michelin performance tires, and the formula becomes even more compelling.

For Chevrolet enthusiasts, the Grand Sport X offers a distinctive interpretation of Corvette performance. It honors the V-8-powered tradition while using electric technology to add another layer of capability.

Climb, Crawl & Conquer: The 2027 Traverse High Country

The 2027 Chevrolet Traverse brings back its top tier High Country trim, and this time around the changes go far beyond a simple refresh. Chevrolet has reimagined the High Country experience with a bold new design philosophy that gives the three row midsize SUV a genuinely elevated presence, both inside and out.

Chevy's High Country badge has always represented the pinnacle of the brand's SUV and truck lineups, much like GMC's well known Denali trim. With this redesign, Chevrolet is clearly working to give High Country the same kind of prestige and recognition that Denali has long enjoyed, and the 2027 Traverse is where that evolution begins here at the Mid Missouri Powerhouse. 

For families who have grown to love the Traverse over the years, this new High Country trim represents an exciting next chapter. It builds on everything that already made the Traverse a standout choice in the midsize SUV segment, while adding a level of polish and craftsmanship that puts it in a class of its own.

A Bolder Look Inside and Out

The design team gave the High Country badge itself a modern makeover. Instead of the previous layered lettering split across two planes, the new emblem sits on a single plane with a sleek, updated mountain icon separating the words. Buyers will also notice that the front doors now proudly display the High Country name rather than the Traverse badge, reinforcing its status as a distinct model within the lineup.

Exterior styling gets an equally thoughtful update. The Traverse High Country trades its previous chrome accents for a striking new Tritan Satin finish across the grille and headlight surrounds, complemented by black molding around the side glass for a more sophisticated, monochromatic look. Standard 22 inch wheels return, now featuring a fresh design that blends black accents with a machined finish for added visual depth.

A Refined and Elevated Cabin

Step inside the new High Country and the upgrades continue. A refreshed color palette pairs Jet Black surfaces with Natural Tan piping and stitching across the dashboard, door panels, center console, and seats, with the same tan accent extending to the seatbelts for a cohesive, upscale look. Genuine wood trim now graces the dashboard and upper door panels, adding a warm, tactile touch that further sets this cabin apart.

Chevrolet has also introduced a new synthetic upholstery material designed to be more durable, easier to clean, and more sustainable than traditional leather, all while maintaining a premium feel throughout the cabin. Owners who appreciate small design details will enjoy discovering the new High Country emblem debossed directly into the headrests.

Smart Technology That Keeps Everyone Connected

Every 2027 Traverse continues to offer a capable turbocharged 2.5 liter four cylinder engine producing 328 horsepower, paired with a smooth shifting eight speed automatic transmission and the choice of front or all wheel drive. The Traverse can tow up to 5,000 pounds, giving families plenty of flexibility for weekend adventures, and available Super Cruise technology offers a relaxing, hands free driving experience when conditions allow.

The High Country trim also introduces standard Cabin Glance technology, giving drivers a convenient live camera view of the second and third row seats right from the main display. This kind of feature is especially helpful for parents who want a quick, discreet way to check on kids or pets without turning around while driving.

Chevrolet is rolling out a new Surround Vision Recorder as well, which uses the Traverse's exterior camera system to capture footage automatically, adding an extra layer of peace of mind for owners. Together, these technologies reflect Chevrolet's ongoing commitment to making family travel feel a little easier and a lot more secure.

What Owners Already Love About the Traverse

Traverse owners consistently highlight just how comfortable and spacious this SUV feels for everyday family life. One recent road tripper shared that after putting thousands of miles on their Traverse, the ride remained smooth and comfortable even on longer highway trips. Families making the jump from smaller crossovers often echo similar sentiments, noting how easily the Traverse accommodates growing families without feeling unwieldy on the road.

Longtime owners have also praised the model's dependability over the years. One driver who put several years and tens of thousands of miles on an earlier generation Traverse described the SUV as offering a very comfortable and quiet ride, even in winter conditions, while easily handling trailer towing along the way. That kind of long term satisfaction speaks to why so many families continue choosing the Traverse generation after generation.

Reviewers have also pointed out how far the Traverse has come in recent years, both in style and substance. Automotive writers covering the latest generation have noted how the SUV shed its softer, more understated styling in favor of a bolder, more truck inspired look that helps it stand out in a crowded segment. That same evolution continues with the redesigned High Country, which builds on the Traverse's already strong reputation for space, comfort, and long distance capability.

Ready to Climb Higher?

The 2027 Traverse High Country brings together bold styling, premium craftsmanship, family-friendly technology, and confident capability in one impressive three-row SUV. From its distinctive 22-inch wheels and genuine wood accents to its advanced camera technology, available Super Cruise, and versatile towing capability, the High Country gives Traverse shoppers plenty to get excited about. 

For families who want an SUV that can handle daily drives just as easily as weekend escapes, this new flagship trim adds an elevated touch to everything that makes the Traverse such a popular choice. As the High Country prepares to arrive, it gives Chevrolet shoppers another reason to look toward the Traverse when the next adventure calls.

Available Soon at the Powerhouse

While most of the 2027 Traverse lineup is already available, the High Country trim represents a later addition to the model year, with production set to begin soon at Chevrolet's Lansing Delta Township assembly plant. Full pricing details will be announced closer to its on sale date.

For families searching for a three row SUV that combines spacious comfort, dependable performance, and a genuinely elevated cabin experience, the 2027 Traverse High Country is shaping up to be one of the most compelling options in Chevrolet's lineup yet. 

The 2027 Traverse High Country is ready to raise the bar for Chevrolet's flagship SUV. Once it hits the Mid Missouri Powerhouse showroom, get up close with its bold styling, available capability, advanced tech, and premium touches to see what this new Traverse brings to the table.

From Fresh Iron to Final Drive: Chevy’s 2027 SUVs Get Their Moment

Chevrolet heads into 2027 with one of the most complete SUV lineups on the market, spanning budget friendly subcompact crossovers, spacious three row family haulers, rugged full size trucks, and a growing selection of electric models. Most nameplates return with thoughtful refinements to trim, color, and technology, while a handful of models see more noteworthy updates.

The Bolt makes a welcome return to the lineup, the gas powered Blazer steps aside for a short pause before coming back even better for 2028, and several other models pick up meaningful upgrades. Here is a closer look at everything new across the 2027 Chevrolet SUV lineup here at the Mid Missouri Powerhouse.

Blazer EV Gets Smarter Charging and Fresh Style

The 2027 Blazer EV adopts a native NACS charge port along with upgraded charge station communication technology, making it easier than ever to connect with a wide range of charging networks. Chevrolet has also reorganized its charging accessories, introducing new Charging Essentials and Premium Charging packages that bundle Level 2 and DC fast charging adapters together.

Styling gets a few tasteful updates as well. White Sands joins the exterior color palette, SS models receive new 22 inch wheels, and every trim now features a sleek gloss black shark fin antenna. Inside, the Super Cruise package adds a Bose eight speaker premium audio system, giving drivers an even richer in-cabin experience.

The Bolt Makes a Triumphant Comeback

After stepping away for a few model years, the Bolt returns for 2027 and picks up right where the beloved Bolt EUV left off. The refreshed EV features a 210 horsepower motor paired with a 65 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery, delivering an EPA rated range of 262 miles, making it a smart, efficient choice for everyday driving and commuting.

Charging capability takes a major leap forward too. Peak DC fast charging speed now exceeds 150 kW, and a native NACS port provides convenient access to compatible Tesla Superchargers. The cabin also gets a technology boost with available Super Cruise and new high resolution displays.

Buyers looking for a bit more personality will appreciate the new RS trim, which brings black 17 inch wheels, RS badging, red stitched seats, and ambient lighting for a sportier feel. The Bolt continues to shine as an affordable, city friendly EV that is quick, capable, and easy to live with every day.

Equinox and Equinox EV Offer Thoughtful Refinements

The gas powered Equinox receives a handful of welcome updates for 2027. Autumn Harvest Metallic joins the color lineup, front wheel drive models transition from a CVT to a smooth shifting eight speed automatic transmission, and the available Safety and Technology package later adds Connected Cameras capability for even more driver confidence on the road.

The Equinox EV mirrors many of the Blazer EV's charging improvements, adopting a native NACS port for direct access to Tesla Superchargers while maintaining compatibility with other public and home charging options. A new Black Sport package adds a bold, athletic look, and an available eight speaker Bose audio system elevates the in cabin listening experience.

Suburban and Tahoe Deliver More Comfort and Capability

Both the Suburban and Tahoe continue building on their recent refresh with a series of comfort focused and convenience driven updates for 2027. White Sands paint joins select trims, new 20 inch high gloss black wheels become available, and RST models now include standard heated and ventilated front seats with four way power lumbar support for a more relaxing ride.

Chevrolet has also reorganized several higher end packages to make premium features more accessible. The Advanced Technology package becomes available with the Duramax diesel on additional trims, and Super Cruise now comes included with the High Country Deluxe package regardless of engine choice, giving drivers even more flexibility when building their ideal SUV.

Trailblazer and Trax Stay Dependable With Room to Grow

The 2027 Trailblazer is expected to carry over largely unchanged, continuing to offer the same dependable powertrain lineup that drivers already know and trust, along with minor trim and color adjustments. It remains a smart, versatile choice for buyers seeking a capable subcompact SUV.

The Trax, meanwhile, may be in line for a midcycle refresh, with early indications pointing toward updated exterior styling and a revised instrument panel. Full details will be confirmed as Chevrolet officially unveils the 2027 model, but the popular subcompact SUV looks poised to build on its strong reputation for value and everyday usability.

Traverse Adds Fresh Style Inside and Out

The 2027 Traverse picks up a handful of cosmetic and convenience updates to keep its family friendly formula feeling fresh. Twilight Blue and Trillium Green Metallic join the paint palette, while Z71, High Country, and RS trims each receive newly designed wheels. LT models gain access to attractive new 20 inch wheel options, and an available interior camera adds an extra layer of convenience for keeping an eye on passengers.

The Blazer Takes a Well Earned Pause

The gas powered Blazer is set to take a short break for the 2027 model year as Chevrolet prepares to shift production to its Spring Hill, Tennessee plant. Rather than disappearing for good, the Blazer is simply pausing so it can return in even better form. Chevrolet has confirmed the SUV will come back as a new and improved 2028 model, with production expected to begin in May 2027, giving fans plenty to look forward to.

A Lineup Ready for Every Journey

From the budget conscious Trax to the family ready Traverse and the rugged, capable Tahoe and Suburban, the 2027 Chevrolet SUV lineup continues to offer something for nearly every kind of driver. With the Bolt back in the fold and thoughtful updates spread across the rest of the lineup, there has never been a better time to explore what Chevrolet has to offer.

Room to Roam. Torque to Tow. Miles to Burn. The 2026 Suburban RST Diesel

For families who need abundant passenger space, impressive towing capability, and the comfort to make long road trips enjoyable, the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban RST Diesel checks all the right boxes. This iconic full-size SUV combines the spaciousness buyers expect from a Suburban with the long-distance efficiency and strong low-end torque of the available Duramax turbo-diesel engine.

The Suburban has built a legendary reputation by giving families room to bring everyone and everything along for the journey. The 2026 model continues that tradition with seating for up to nine passengers, generous cargo capacity, advanced technology, and a confident driving experience. The RST trim adds a sporty appearance that gives this large SUV an especially distinctive presence here at the Mid Missouri Powerhouse. 

Big SUV. Big Torque. Long Legs.

The 2026 Suburban offers three engine choices, giving buyers the flexibility to select the powertrain that best fits their lifestyle. The 5.3-liter V8 comes standard, while a 6.2-liter V8 is available for drivers looking for additional performance.

For drivers who spend plenty of time on the highway or regularly travel long distances, the available 3.0-liter Duramax turbo-diesel is particularly compelling. It produces 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque, giving the Suburban strong pulling power and effortless acceleration when merging onto highways or passing slower traffic.

All three engines pair with a 10-speed automatic transmission, and buyers can choose between rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. The diesel is especially well suited to relaxed highway cruising, where its abundant torque helps the Suburban settle into a comfortable rhythm.

The Duramax also delivers impressive efficiency for such a substantial SUV. EPA estimates reach 24 mpg combined, while highway range can stretch to approximately 624 miles between fill-ups. For families planning long road trips, that combination means more time enjoying the journey and fewer interruptions along the way.

Ready for the Boat, Camper, or Big Weekend

A Suburban is about more than moving people. It is also designed to handle the equipment and toys that come with an active lifestyle.

The diesel-powered Suburban can tow up to 7,800 pounds, providing plenty of capability for boats, campers, utility trailers, and recreational equipment. Buyers who want to maximize their towing setup can also choose the available Max Trailering Package.

The Duramax engine's substantial torque is particularly useful when pulling a trailer. Rather than needing to work hard to maintain momentum, the diesel delivers the kind of low-end strength that makes towing feel natural and confident.

For families that regularly head toward the lake, campground, trailhead, or weekend getaway, the Suburban makes a compelling road-trip partner.

Three Rows That Actually Feel Like Three Rows

Inside the cabin, the Suburban demonstrates why its size matters.

The SUV can accommodate up to nine passengers when equipped with a front bench seat. Choosing second-row captain's chairs brings seating capacity to seven while creating an easy path toward the spacious third row.

That third row is one of the Suburban's standout features. Adults can comfortably settle into all three rows, making the SUV a genuine three-row people mover rather than a vehicle where the rearmost seats are best reserved for smaller passengers.

The RST adds an upscale touch with leather seating surfaces for the first and second rows, heated front seats with memory settings, and a heated steering wheel. Folding second- and third-row seats make it easy to transition from passenger duty to cargo-hauling mode.

An available panoramic sunroof further brightens the cabin and gives passengers an expansive view of the sky.

A Cabin Built for the Long Haul

Long-distance comfort is one of the Suburban's greatest strengths. Its generous dimensions create plenty of room for passengers to stretch out, while the suspension helps provide a smooth ride over changing pavement.

Despite its substantial footprint, the Suburban remains remarkably composed and manageable on the road. Its turning radius also helps make maneuvering easier when navigating parking lots, driveways, and tighter spaces.

For drivers seeking an even more refined experience, available adaptive dampers and adjustable air suspension can add another level of ride control and convenience. The air suspension can also help make loading and unloading easier.

That versatility makes the Suburban equally at home on an interstate road trip, a suburban commute, or a weekend towing adventure.

17.7 Inches of Reasons to Stay Connected

Technology takes center stage inside the 2026 Suburban.

A large 17.7-inch infotainment touchscreen provides a prominent command center for entertainment, navigation, connectivity, and vehicle functions. It works alongside an 11-inch digital instrument display that puts important driving information directly in the driver's line of sight.

Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto make it easy to connect compatible smartphones without plugging in, while wireless charging helps keep devices ready for the next destination. A Wi-Fi hotspot is also available to help keep passengers connected during longer journeys.

Families can take advantage of available rear-seat entertainment technology, while an available Bose 10-speaker audio system can turn the Suburban's spacious cabin into a mobile concert hall.

Super Cruise Makes the Highway More Relaxing

Long-distance driving becomes even more convenient with available Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology.

Designed for compatible roads, Super Cruise can assist with steering and speed control while helping make extended highway travel more comfortable. The driver remains responsible for paying attention and staying engaged, but the technology can provide an extra layer of convenience during lengthy trips.

The Suburban also offers a comprehensive collection of standard driver-assistance features, including automatic emergency braking, pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane departure warning, and lane-keeping assist.

RST Style With a Sporty Edge

The Suburban RST brings a distinctive visual personality to this large SUV.

Black exterior accents and available 22-inch wheels give the RST a sportier appearance while complementing the Suburban's bold proportions. The result is a full-size SUV that combines family-friendly practicality with an unmistakable road presence.

Its design also reflects the rugged engineering shared across Chevrolet's truck and SUV family. The Suburban's platform is closely related to the architecture used for the Chevrolet Tahoe and Silverado 1500, giving it a foundation designed around capability and durability.

Bring Everything. Seriously, Everything.

Cargo capacity is another area where the Suburban earns its name.

There is approximately 42 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, providing room for everyday family gear while keeping all three rows available. Fold the rear seats down and the available space expands dramatically, reaching approximately 145 cubic feet.

That makes the Suburban remarkably versatile. Luggage, groceries, sports equipment, camping supplies, tools, and larger items can all find a place inside.

Few SUVs offer this combination of passenger space and cargo flexibility. For families that refuse to leave gear behind, the Suburban provides plenty of room to bring the whole adventure along.

The Long-Haul SUV Has Arrived

The 2026 Chevrolet Suburban RST Diesel brings together the qualities that have made the Suburban an American automotive icon while adding the efficiency and torque of the Duramax diesel.

With seating for up to nine, available four-wheel drive, strong towing capability, impressive highway range, a spacious cabin, advanced connectivity, and distinctive RST styling, it is equipped for much more than the daily school run.

For families planning cross-country vacations, outdoor adventures, towing duties, or simply looking for one vehicle capable of handling a remarkably wide range of responsibilities, the Suburban RST Diesel offers an impressive blend of capability and comfort.

More room. More torque. More miles. More reasons to take the long way home. The 2026 Chevrolet Suburban RST Diesel is ready to make every journey a little bigger.
