Chevy Took Home A Record 18 Awards Last Week
According to the latest Chevrolet news, they’ve had a pretty good week. Led by the all-new Bolt EV, which won five awards on its own, the brand scored an overall total of 18 awards in automotive and consumer media rankings this past week- a record for Chevy.
The Bolt EV, offering 238 miles of range on a full charge earned a spot on the 2017 Car and Driver 10Best Cars list, in addition to being named “Best New Car to Buy” by Green Car Reports, “Green Car of the Year” by Green Car Journal and “Best EV” by Car Connection.
“The Bolt EV is the newest example of how Chevrolet is driving the industry with leading technology matched with great design and the connectivity that makes customers’ lives easier,” stated Alan Batey, president of GM North America and brand chief, Global Chevrolet. “We’re innovating like never before with more choices for every need and these awards affirm the depth, breadth and value offered by Chevrolet’s lineup.”
To add to the awards, the Camaro 1LE was positioned on the Car and Driver 10Best Cars list for the second year in a row. The Corvette also made this list for the third time in four years.
Finally (we’re running out of breath), Consumer Guide Automotive awarded six Chevy vehicles with “Best Buy” honors and the Impala and Tahoe each received back-to-back Kelley Blue Book Best Buy award recognition in their respective categories.
Needless to say, we’re pretty proud of Chevrolet’s success, especially over this past week! Be sure to stop by Mid-MO Powerhouse to check out and test drive any of these award-winning vehicles for yourself!
