Chevy Took Home Record Number Of Awards In Just One Week


Chevy hit a record last month when it earned 18 awards in automotive and consumer media rankings in just one week. Five of these awards can be credited to the all-new Bolt EV, the brand’s newest all-electric vehicle.

The Bolt EV, offering an estimated 238 miles of range on a full charge, earned a spot on the 2017 Car and Driver 10Best Cars list. Additionally, it was 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.”

Also earning spots on Car and Driver’s 10Best Cars List were the Camaro 1LE and Corvette Grand Sport. This is the second year in a row the Camaro has made this list and the third time in four years for the Corvette.

A whopping six Chevrolet vehicles earned Consumer Guide Automotive Best Buy Awards and lastly (yep, there’s more), the Impala and Tahoe were named Kelley Blue Book “Best Buys” for two consecutive years.
