To fight with the issues like rising cost of fuel and the constant depletion of natural resources, Chevrolet as always, has come up even now with solutions that inspired other brands to follow suit. As a brand that has all kinds of vehicles in its shade, Chevrolet could successfully design a mechanism that endorses fuel economy in all of them, making it easier and affordable for the buyers to own them.
Chevrolet Green Initiatives
Chevrolet has introduced almost every model from every body-type that can offer a minimum of EPA-estimated 30 MPG on the highway while some of them score even better. The mechanism makes sure that not a drop of this expensive fuel gets wasted.
The technical staff to whom we spoke at the Decatur Chevrolet dealer showroom explained that in recent years Chevrolet has equipped its conventional gas models with the available stop/start technology on one hand, and on the other has released good number of diesel models to suffice the market demand of high-performance vehicles.
Simultaneously, Chevrolet has introduced a couple of green vehicles that includes all-electric, hybrid and plug in hybrid options that are now able to boast a fantastic mileage capability on a single charge.
To explain you in brief we have listed down, how Chevrolet has achieved a standard fuel economy through each method.
Electric and Hybrid:
Now with the power efficient electric, hybrid and plug-in hybrid models from Chevrolet you can drove those extra miles on a single charge. Among the green car lineup of Chevrolet the all-electric Bolt EV can give you an estimated range of mileage that counts more than 200 miles in a charge, while the hybrid records an EPA-estimated 420 miles with the combined effort of a fully charged electric motor and a full tank of gas.
Small cars
The small cars of Chevrolet are compact combinations of high efficiency power that maximizes the concept of space, through a utilitarian approach. Keeping the current nuclear family in mind, Chevrolet has built a lengthy lineup of small cars that accommodates a family of four, that are able to score an EPA-estimated 38 MPG or more on the highway speed. For this we get to see a 1.4L turbocharged engine in most of these cars that are highly fuel-efficient.
Sedan and Hatchbacks
Chevrolet has in its catalogue good number of stylish sedans and hatchbacks that aim to offer a minimum 36 MPG of EPA-estimated fuel efficiency record when driven in consistent highway speed. The credit for this fuel efficiency foes to the turbocharged 1.5L ECOTEC engine with features like Variable Valve Timing, Direct Injection and stop/start technology.
Crossovers and SUVs
The crossovers and SUVs from Chevrolet are based on practicality and fuel-efficiency. Mostly powered by a standard 1.4L turbocharged ECOTEC engine these vehicles are able to make an EPA-estimated count of 33 MPG on the highways.
Trucks
Almost every Chevrolet Truck you get to see in dealerships like Decatur Chevy, use the Duramax 2.8L Turbo-Diesel engine to hit an EPA estimated 31 MPG of fuel efficiency on the highway.
