2012 Chevy Equinox Voted Best Bang For The Buck Zeigler Chevrolet

2012 Chevy Equinox Delivers ‘Best Bang for the Buck’

by Chevrolet in the News on December 9, 2011

The small crossover segment is packed with strong entries, but few can deliver the kind of value offered by the 2012 Chevrolet Equinox. Just ask the team at MSN Autos, which recently named the ’Nox to its “Best Bang for the Buck: Crossovers” list.
The popular Chevy gained acclaim for a wide range of features, starting with its strong fuel-economy numbers. The 2012 Equinox is capable of EPA ratings of 22 mpg city/32 mpg highway/26 mpg combined, providing a highway cruising range of more than 600 miles. Also earning praise from MSN Autos was the vehicle’s high-versatility interior. Thanks to Chevy’s Multiflex seating system, the Equinox’s rear seats can be moved forward or backward by almost eight inches to offer either best-in-class rear legroom or a rear cargo area capable of holding more than 31 cubic feet of gear.
There’s further versatility under the skin, too. In addition to its advanced 2.4-liter Ecotec I4 engine with direct injection—the best choice for fuel economy—Chevy also offers a powerful 3.0-liter V6 that makes 264 hp and a robust 222 lb.-ft. of torque. Both engines also can be mated to GM’s proven all-wheel-drive system for an added dose of surefootedness.
For the new model year, Chevrolet has improved the Equinox’s value proposition even further with a host of available new features, including:

• The Chevy MyLink connectivity system
• A rearview camera system (standard on the Equinox 1LT)
• A seven-inch color touchscreen audio system with USB port (standard on 1LT, 2LT and LTZ trims)
• OnStar-enabled Bluetooth phone functionality and steering-wheel-mounted audio controls (now standard on the Equinox LS)
• 18-inch chrome-clad aluminum wheels (available on the Equinox 2LT and LTZ)
• Blind-spot mirrors (now standard on all models)
• A lane-departure warning and forward collision alert system (available on the Equinox LTZ with a V6)

Closing the deal for MSN Autos: Even with all that “bang,” the MSRP of the Equinox opens at just 23,450 bucks.

The storied tradition of America’s top sports car will open another chapter at this year’s Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) event, as two Corvette show cars, each honoring a different aspect of Corvette history, make their world premieres.
To help recognize the 30th annual “Corvettes at Carlisle” gathering—held each year in Carlisle, Pa., and one of the largest in North America—Chevy is introducing the Corvette Carlisle Blue Grand Sport Concept. Based on the Corvette Grand Sport, the show car shows off a new exterior color—the aptly named Carlisle Blue Metallic—as well as the first appearance of silver-painted Torque 2 wheels and full-length Pearl White racing stripes.
Also featured on the Carlisle Blue Grand Sport:

• A hand-built LS3 6.2-liter V8 capable of up to 436 hp and 428 lb.-ft. of torque
• Six-speed manual transmission
• Magnetic Selective Ride Control
• Gray six-piston brake calipers
• Goodyear F1 Supercar Gen 2 tires
• Dual-mode exhaust system
• Cyber Gray headlamps
• Premium nine-speaker Bose touchscreen sound system
• Plenty of Genuine Corvette Accessories, including carbon-fiber ground effects and a GRAND SPORT hood blanket, ebony floor mats, console lid and racing pedal package

In addition, to help salute Ron Fellows’ 2011 induction to the National Corvette Museum Hall of Fame, Chevy has developed the perfect way to celebrate one of the winningest racers ever to get behind the wheel of its flagship sports car: The Corvette Z06 Ron Fellows “Hall of Fame” Tribute. The Tribute car takes the ultimate Corvette—the ultra-high-performance Z06—and gives it an aggressive Torch Red Exterior, accented by graphics that pay homage to Fellows’ many accomplishments for Corvette Racing. The car also benefits from:

• Z06 Performance Package (Z07)
• Magnetic Selective Ride Control
• CFZ carbon-fiber package with splitter and rocker moldings
• Carbon-fiber raised hood
• Black headlamp housings and mirrors
• Red brake calipers
• Ebony interior with red stitching
• Suede-trimmed steering wheel, shift knob, parking brake handle and armrests with red stitching
• Special seats
• Genuine Corvette Accessory Racing Pedal Package

And while neither of these SEMA Corvettes will be available to the public anytime soon, the 2012 lineup of production models is ready to roll at local dealerships across the country.

Chevy Volt,Malibu Earn 5 Star Safety Rating Zeigler Chevy Schaumburg

Chevy Volt, Malibu Earn 5-Star Euro Safety Rating

As Chevrolet continues to extend its global reach by launching cars like the Chevy Volt and all-new 2013 Chevrolet Malibu in Europe, the brand also continues to extend its global reputation for safety: Each of those vehicles earned 5-star ratings—the highest possible—in the latest round of the European New Car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP). Similar to those of the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 5-star program, the Euro NCAP ratings provide valuable information for potential buyers.
“The results confirm that both vehicles meet today’s highest safety standards,” said Wayne Brannon, president and managing director of Chevrolet Europe, who also noted: “The Volt’s safety performance and propulsion concept highlight the reliability and practicality that is inherent to this outstanding design.”
In fact, the Volt became the first EV from any U.S. automaker to receive five stars in all facets of the Euro NCAP evaluations. It’s yet another notable accomplishment for the car, which, in this country, also has been named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and achieved a 5-star rating in NHTSA’s NCAP testing.
The completely redesigned Malibu—which will become the first Malibu ever to be sold in Europe—has not been tested yet by the IIHS or NHSTA, but Chevrolet has high expectations for its U.S. safety performance, too. That makes sense, because also high is the level of standard and available safety equipment on the U.S. Malibu, including:

• Standard dual-stage driver and front-passenger air bags, driver and front-passenger pelvic/thorax side-impact air bags, driver and front-passenger knee air bags, and roof-rail air bags with rollover protection
• Standard four-channel anti-lock brakes with full-function traction control, four-corner electronic stability control, electronic brake force distribution, brake assist system, corner brake control, hydraulic brake fade assist and drag torque control
• Available second-row head/thorax side-impact air bags
• Available lane-departure warning system with forward collision alert
• Available rearview camera system

And GM’s OnStar safety and security system, with Automatic Crash Response, is standard as well.
The 2012 Chevrolet Volt, featuring an EPA-certified all-electric driving range of 35 miles and the ability to go hundreds of more miles relying on its onboard internal-combustion range extender, is on sale now. The 2013 Malibu Eco, which relies on GM’s eAssist light-electrification system for expected EPA ratings of 26 mpg city/38 mpg highway, is slated to launch in February of 2012, with the other members of the new Malibu family to follow in the summer.
