Space for Nine, Power for Anything, Tech for Everyone—Meet the 2026 Suburban

At the Mid Missouri Powerhouse, we understand what families need in a full-size SUV. You want space to stretch out, power to move with confidence, safety you can trust, and style that turns heads. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban, an SUV that has been the gold standard for nearly a century. Since its debut in 1935, the Suburban has carried generations with confidence. Today, it continues that legacy with more strength, technology, and versatility than ever before.

Built for Families Who Do It All

The Suburban is a vehicle made for real life. Whether your weekend includes a soccer tournament, a lake trip with the boat, or a family vacation across the country, the 2026 model is ready. Few SUVs can match its blend of brawn and comfort.

Under the hood, you’ll find a lineup of powerhouse engines designed to fit your lifestyle. The standard 5.3-liter V8 delivers the muscle most families need, while the available 6.2-liter V8 steps up performance for those who crave extra punch. For efficiency and impressive torque, Chevy’s turbo-diesel option is hard to beat, perfect for towing or long-haul trips. All pair with a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission, ensuring effortless acceleration and highway cruising.

Chevy also put serious thought into ride quality. With its long wheelbase and available Magnetic Ride Control, the Suburban delivers a surprisingly smooth and refined drive, even over uneven pavement. And for those who spend hours on the highway, Super Cruise, Chevy’s hands-free driving system, makes long trips easier, safer, and less stressful.

What’s New for 2026

The Suburban received a full refresh in 2025, and the 2026 model builds on that momentum with smart new updates. Chevy has added a Key Card system, which lets you access and start the SUV without a traditional fob, handy when your hands are full. Another standout feature is Cabin Glance, an interior camera system that lets you monitor what’s happening in the second and third rows from the driver’s seat.

On the design front, buyers will love the new RST Dark Essentials appearance package, which adds a sleek, bold look with darkened accents. Updated paint colors and wheel options give you even more ways to make the Suburban fit your personality.

Interior Designed Around You

Step inside the Suburban, and it’s clear this SUV was built for families who value both comfort and convenience. With seating for up to nine passengers, it’s one of the few vehicles on the road that can match the capacity of a minivan, without sacrificing power, style, or capability.

The third row isn’t just for kids either. Adults will find generous legroom, making long trips comfortable no matter where you sit. When it comes to cargo, the Suburban shines brightest: with up to 144.5 cubic feet of space, it leads the class. Whether you’re hauling sports gear, camping supplies, or moving furniture, you’ll never run out of room.

Chevy didn’t stop at space. The Suburban’s cabin is loaded with smart technology. Every model features a 17.7-inch touchscreen and an 11-inch digital gauge cluster. The infotainment system is both sharp-looking and intuitive, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard. Options like Bose premium audio, a head-up display, and a power-sliding center console elevate the driving experience even further.

Power and Capability

While many SUVs boast about strength, the Suburban backs it up with real-world capability. With a towing capacity of up to 8,200 pounds, this SUV is more than capable of pulling a camper, boat, or trailer. Chevy also includes smart towing technologies that make the process safer and easier. Features like Boat Ramp Assist and Trailer Navigation give drivers added confidence, even in tricky situations.

Safety Comes Standard

At the Mid Missouri Powerhouse, we know peace of mind is at the top of every family’s list. The 2026 Suburban delivers with a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Advanced driver-assist features like automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, and HD Surround Vision come standard, helping you feel protected on every drive.

Why the Suburban Stands Out

After spending countless hours driving and evaluating Chevy’s flagship SUV, here’s what always rises to the top:

• Seating for nine: The ultimate choice for big families or those who need flexibility.

• Next-level technology: From massive screens to wireless connectivity, everything feels seamless.

• Hands-free convenience: The power liftgate saves time when your arms are full.

• Super Cruise: Transforms long drives into stress-free experiences.

• Unmatched cargo room: No need to choose between people and gear; you get both.

The Mid Missouri Powerhouse Promise

We know from many years of experience that families live life on the go. You deserve an SUV that can keep up. The 2026 Chevrolet Suburban is that SUV: spacious, powerful, safe, and packed with features that make every drive easier and every journey more enjoyable.

At the Mid Missouri Powerhouse, we’re more than just a dealership; we’re your partners in finding the perfect vehicle for your lifestyle. If you’re ready for an SUV that blends strength, brains, and comfort like no other, the 2026 Suburban is waiting for you.

Space, Safety, Style: The Chevy Equinox Is Built for Real Life

The Chevrolet Equinox has become one of the brand’s cornerstone SUVs, balancing everyday usability with modern technology and a confident design. Since its debut in 2005, the Equinox has continually evolved, and the latest 2026 model builds on that legacy with fresh styling, updated features, and more refinement inside and out. 

Positioned between the smaller Trailblazer and the midsize Blazer, it’s an attractive option in the highly competitive compact SUV segment, rivaling well-known names like the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Nissan Rogue here at the Mid Missouri Powerhouse.

What’s New for 2026

Chevrolet has fine-tuned the Equinox lineup with thoughtful updates. A new Polar White exterior shade joins the color palette, while all trims now come with a standard drive mode selector dial for added adaptability. For the LT trim, roof rails are now exclusive to the Midnight Edition, refining its appearance and equipment offerings.

Technology and Connectivity

One of the standout features of the 2026 Equinox is its advanced infotainment system. Built on Google technology, the interface is intuitive and seamless, making it easy to access navigation, entertainment, and vehicle settings. The system also supports Apple CarPlay, a welcome feature for those who prefer familiar smartphone integration. With large, crisp displays and a clean layout, the cabin feels both modern and user-friendly.

Performance and Efficiency

Under the hood, every Equinox is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers up to 175 horsepower. Paired with either front-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive, it provides plenty of confidence for daily driving, highway cruising, and tackling less predictable road conditions. Torque figures range from 184 lb-ft with FWD to 203 lb-ft with AWD, offering solid versatility for a compact SUV.

Efficiency remains an important part of the Equinox’s appeal. Depending on configuration, fuel economy reaches up to an estimated 28 mpg on the highway, ensuring that drivers can enjoy longer stretches between fill-ups. With gas tank sizes ranging from 14.8 to 15.6 gallons, the driving range extends past 400 miles in certain versions, an advantage for those who cover more ground.

Safety and Driver Assistance

Chevy Safety Assist, the brand’s comprehensive suite of driver-assist technologies, comes standard across the Equinox lineup. This package includes automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist, and automatic high-beam headlights. Other standard features add peace of mind, such as blind-spot monitoring, rear parking sensors, and rear emergency braking.

For those seeking even more advanced safety, available upgrades include a surround-view camera system, rear pedestrian alert, and traffic sign recognition. These enhancements make navigating busy environments and unfamiliar roads more confident and stress-free.

Comfort and Interior Versatility

Inside, the Equinox emphasizes space and comfort, with nearly 40 inches of rear-seat legroom that competes strongly against leading rivals. The cabin is thoughtfully arranged, offering plenty of headroom and supportive seating for both front and rear passengers. Cargo capacity measures up to 63.5 cubic feet with the rear seats folded, leaving room for luggage, outdoor gear, or a family’s weekly errands.

A variety of premium amenities can be equipped to elevate the experience even further. Options include ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a wireless charging pad, and a power-adjustable driver’s seat. Combined with smart cabin packaging, these features ensure the Equinox feels as accommodating on long road trips as it does on quick commutes.

Trim Levels and Choices

For 2026, the Chevrolet Equinox is available in three trims: LT, Activ, and RS. Each offers its own blend of style, comfort, and technology, allowing drivers to select a model that best matches their lifestyle. Whether it’s the versatile LT, the rugged-leaning Activ, or the sport-inspired RS, every version delivers the practicality and refinement that have made the Equinox one of Chevrolet’s best-selling vehicles.

The Bottom Line

The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox is designed to check all the right boxes for today’s SUV shoppers. It delivers confident performance, strong fuel efficiency, and a well-equipped interior filled with advanced technology and safety features. With its fresh design, versatile trims, and focus on comfort and connectivity, the Equinox stands ready to meet the needs of families, commuters, and adventurers alike.

If you’ve been gradually thinking every compact SUV feels the same, the 2026 Chevy Equinox is your wake-up call! With sleek styling, seamless Google-built infotainment, and a cabin loaded with thoughtful details, this SUV redefines what it means to drive connected and in control. Why not see what all the buzz is about? Stop in for a test drive and experience the Equinox’s perfect blend of modern tech and timeless comfort firsthand.

Hybrid Havoc: Corvette ZR1X Hits 1,250 HP and Redefines American Speed

At the Mid Missouri Powerhouse, we’ve seen our fair share of head-turning performance machines—but nothing quite like this. The newly revealed 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X has officially arrived, and it’s rewriting the rulebook on what an American-built hypercar can do. Combining Chevrolet’s insane twin-turbo 5.5-liter V8 with an advanced electric motor up front, the ZR1X throws down an eye-watering 1,250 horsepower. That’s right—this is Corvette engineering taken to the extreme.

A New Standard in Speed

If the gas-only ZR1 wasn’t already impressive enough with its monstrous output and 0–60 sprint in just over two seconds, the ZR1X cranks things up with electrified all-wheel drive and blistering acceleration expected to break the two-second barrier. This car isn’t playing catch-up with European exotics—it’s playing leapfrog. Whether you're a longtime Corvette fan or just a thrill-seeker looking for the next automotive icon, the ZR1X is bringing track-level performance straight to the streets of Mid-Missouri.

Why It Matters

This isn’t just a faster Corvette—it’s a technical powerhouse. The hybrid system, borrowed and boosted from the Corvette E-Ray, adds instant torque to the front wheels while keeping the car balanced through corners and on straightaways. Chevy engineers say the battery system has been reworked for maximum energy output while still offering regenerative braking—something you’d expect to see on the world's most advanced race cars.

Built for Bragging Rights

From its magnetic ride control and track-tuned suspension to massive carbon-ceramic brakes with 10-piston front calipers, every component of the ZR1X is designed to handle the outrageous power and bring it under control. With updated aerodynamics, carbon fiber wheels, and multiple drive modes including “Push-to-Pass” and “Endurance,” this Corvette is tuned for every scenario—whether you’re chasing lap times or showing off on Main Street.

Inside the ZR1X

The 2026 ZR1X also debuts the latest Corvette interior updates, including a revised digital display system and subtle hybrid-only touches like “X” badging and larger brakes. It’s aggressive where it needs to be and refined where it counts—blending cutting-edge tech with the unmistakable Corvette soul. The digital cockpit now offers enhanced performance data tracking, allowing drivers to monitor everything from torque split to battery deployment in real time. 

Premium materials throughout the cabin—like carbon-fiber trim, contrast stitching, and race-inspired seating—remind you this isn’t just a showpiece; it’s a machine built for high-speed execution. Even the infotainment system has been optimized for track use, integrating performance apps alongside daily-use convenience features.

Still Wondering What It’s Called?

Many expected this beast would finally wear the legendary “Zora” name in honor of Corvette visionary Zora Arkus-Duntov. But for now, Chevrolet has chosen to keep that name under wraps. If the ZR1X isn’t the car to wear it, we can only imagine what’s coming next. Perhaps the decision reflects just how special that future model will need to be—something even more radical, more limited, or more historically significant. 

For now, the ZR1X stands on its own merits and does so confidently. It’s a name that may not evoke Corvette’s past directly, but it certainly signals where the future is headed: bold, electrified, and unapologetically fast.

Your Next Supercar Is Built in America

At Mid Missouri Powerhouse, we live and breathe speed. The 2026 Corvette ZR1X is more than a machine—it’s your next adrenaline fix. If your weekends start at the track and end with a grin, this is the Corvette you’ve been waiting for. Contact our performance experts now and get dialed in for delivery.

Big Space, Big Value

If you're looking for a spacious three-row SUV that blends contemporary style with everyday practicality, the 2025 Traverse is a standout choice.

A Fresh Powertrain with Muscle and Efficiency

Under the hood, the Traverse now features a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a new eight-speed automatic transmission. With 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque, it’s actually more powerful than the outgoing V6 and still tows up to 5,000 pounds—great for hauling trailers, boats, or weekend gear.

Tech That Wows Every Passenger

The Traverse isn’t just powerful; it’s packed with tech. Every trim comes with a massive 17.7-inch touchscreen and an 11.0-inch digital instrument cluster, both running on Chevrolet’s smooth and intuitive Google-based infotainment system. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, along with six USB ports, wireless charging, and available Wi-Fi hotspot capability.

Safety and Peace of Mind on Every Drive

Even at the entry level, the Traverse comes loaded with smart safety features like automatic high beams, pedestrian detection, traffic sign recognition, and lane-keeping assist. For those who want more, the available Super Cruise hands-free driving system makes highway travel incredibly stress-free. On trims like the Z71 and High Country, Super Cruise even handles lane changes on its own.

Comfortable Inside, Capable Outside

The High Country trim features beautiful jet black leather seating with subtle bronze and silver accents that elevate the entire cabin. Every button and screen is thoughtfully placed. Even the third row offers adult-friendly comfort, with more than 33 inches of legroom—something many rivals can't match.

Need space? You’ve got it. With all seats folded, the Traverse gives you up to 97.6 cubic feet of cargo room, making it ideal for road trips, home improvement runs, or soccer practice carpool duty.

Smooth Cruising, Everyday Comfort

Behind the wheel, the Traverse glides over bumps and rough pavement with ease—even on available 22-inch wheels. The ride is smooth and refined, with comfortable seating that keeps passengers relaxed mile after mile. Whether you're running errands or headed on a cross-country vacation, this SUV gets the job done with grace.

Fuel-Saving Performance

The new powertrain isn’t just stronger—it’s also more efficient. The front-wheel-drive Traverse achieves up to 23 mpg combined, making it more economical than many shoppers expect from a vehicle of this size. All-wheel-drive models still do great, offering around 20 mpg combined, depending on the trim.

A Competitive Price for a Fully Loaded Experience
