“Chevrolet is the fastest-growing full-line retail brand in the industry thanks to an exceptional vehicle lineup, which includes ground-breaking products like the Bold EV,” stated Alan Batey, president of GM North America and Global Chevrolet brand chief. “Being recognized once again as MOTOR TREND Car of the Year is a great honor for the Chevrolet team.”
The MOTOR TREND editors base their decision on the vehicle’s performance in six evaluation categories, which includes advancement in design, engineering excellence, efficiency, safety, value and performance of intended function.
This is the fourth MOTOR TREND award for Chevrolet in three years, as the Camaro was recognized as the 2016 Car of the Year and the Colorado was named the Truck of the Year in both 2015 and 2016.
“Chevrolet is on a roll with new and compelling vehicles that have reset the bar for trucks in 2015, trucks and sports cars in 2016, and for 2017, electric cars,’ said Ed Loh, MOTOR TREND Editor-in-Chief. “The Bolt EV is certainly a game changing vehicle and we look forward to seeing whether we’ll be recognizing another Chevrolet next year in our annual awards.”
