2021 Chevy Tahoe's Interior Comfort Factor Just Got Better: Large Gain In Third-Row Legroom

The 2021 Chevy Tahoe excitingly introduces a brand-new generation for the full-size SUV variety and has now seen a complete overhaul that includes completely reworked exterior styling. There is also a fresh interior design, a new architecture, and all-new offerings of technology. The staff at GM Authority pointed out in their latest article that the third row now boasts noticeably more space than the outgoing model, highlighting its benefits in this video.

It shows a group of friends arriving home after spending a fun day at the lake, and two of the passengers make their way for the third-row bench seat and hit the available power-release second-row seats to gain easier access to the back. The video also takes a close-up look at the comfort slide second-row, which provides even more room for passengers seated in the rear. The 2021 Chevy Tahoe boasts a large 10.1 – inch increase in third-row legroom, now up to a total of 34.9 inches compared to the 24.8 inches in the outgoing model.

 

There is also now an extra 1.15 inches in third-row shoulder room, .7 inches in extra third-row hip room, and an extra .1 inches in third-row headroom available.

To satisfy those who are looking to really sprawl out and enjoy the drive there is also an extra 1.45 inches in first-row shoulder room and an extra 10.2 cubic-feet of cargo space behind the third row.

There are three engine choices for the 2021 Tahoe: the naturally aspirated 5.3-Liter V8 L84, the naturally aspirated 6.2-Liter V8 L87, and the turbodiesel 3.0-LIter I6 LM2 Duramax.

Chevy Confirms Future Release of an Electric Full-Size Pickup With 400-mile Range

Here at Jim Butler Chevy of St Louis during this exciting and sizzling time of year, we are happy to help customers who have their sights set on the next year's coming models, and go over all of the features and additions that are coming soon. In the very near future, one of the biggest changes ever is now officially slated to take place: GM has now confirmed that one of the 20 electric cars it does plan to release by 2023 will be a full-size Chevy pickup, and it was announced in the 179-page 2019 sustainability report published this month.

It was announced that this still-unnamed pickup will boast over 400 miles of driving range on a charge, but there was not much additional details given. It could be engineered to be a greener choice to the Silverado, or it could be on its own as a completely new vein of Eco-friendly offerings. Chevy had made the proud commitment to roll out a large number of EV's by the mid 2020s a few years back, setting sights on full electrification by 2030.

Earlier this year, the official announcement was made that there will now be a $2.2 billion investment geared towards transforming the Detroit-Hamtramck facility into the first assembly plant that is completely devoted to electrification. In a section of a recent report that was highlighting the company's EV plans, it was noted that the “success of the 2020 Chevy Bolt EV” was part of the inspiration for the BET truck, and 400 miles of range means the daily commute Is all well and taken care of.

The average worker sees about 20 miles a day round trip to punch the clock, and then return to the comforts of home. We do know that that competition in the form of Ford and Tesla are working hard on developing trucks, and with so many fine details kept under wraps, no one quite knows yet about how they will differ and specific features and function.

To make sure that the maximum range is achieved on such a heavy and large truck such as this, the new electric-vehicle platform allows the engineers to stack battery modules two high. Once 24 modules are fitted between the frame and under the body the result is a battery pack that can store as much as 200.0 kWh of electricity right there onboard the vehicle.

Tesla vehicles are currently topping out at around 100.kWh, which is one key reason that this new Chevy should boast such a long electrically-charged driving range. This lofty and Earth-conscious plan to electrify the fleet is going to take some diehard motorists a while to get used to, but the end result will be a more sustainable home for us to work, play, and cruise through tight hairpin turns!

Coming C8 Chevy Corvette Fine Details Revealed By Car and Driver

Here at Jim Butler Chevy of St Louis, we have been amazed by the true car lover's enthusiastic response regarding the release of the mid-engine Corvette this past year. For the price, it was now possible to get a fantastic car with a completely redone interior that for the first time measured up to the likes of supercars such as Ferrari, with the web and print reviews to prove it. There is now more valuable information coming in via websites such as Car and Driver about what updates the car will have for its second year.

New features, colors, and other options are all on tap for the 2021 edition of the C8, which excitedly begins production later this year. The two new colors are Red Mist Tintcoat and Silver Flare Metallic, and there's also a new grey and yellow interior color scheme as well as new stripe designs and colors. Now coming as standard are Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities, and the digital gauge cluster now features four new display options such as a track driving tachometer. You also receive as standard GM's “Buckle to Drive” feature, which requires the driver to buckle their seatbelt before the car can be shifted out of park.

 

When it comes to a car as ferocious and groundbreaking as the new Corvette, aficionados are quick to ask what is going to happen in the performance department. The 6.2-liter V8 engine and 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission remain unchanged, but the 2021 Corvette will now offer the standalone option of magnetorheological dampers. This means you now have your choice of suspension setup even if you don't spring for the Z51 performance package. Orders are open now, and both models are expected to roll onto lots near the end of the year.

A visible carbon fiber finish for the high-wing and the door intake trim will be available for the 2021 Corvette, along with numerous body stripes boasting a large color selection. All-weather floor liners are also listed as present on the new model, along with a cool car cover depicting the C8.R Race Car. Other definite news is that there WILL be a convertible C8 that won't see production until later this summer.

We took note that Jet Black has by far been the most requested interior scheme, and have

simply enjoyed every little last detail and glowing review about the coming of the C8 this year. We invite you to hop online or come visit us here at Jim Butler to figure out which vehicle is best for you, as back-to-school season is coming, and the festive activities of fall are around the corner!

GM Authority Will Spend Thrill-Packed Week With The 2021 Chevy Trailblazer

So many customers that see us during the Summer months here at Jim Butler Chevy of St Louis are looking for a crossover SUV: we fully recognize the popularity, accessibility, and practicality of this particular genre. The 2021 Trailblazer fills the slot between the Equinox and Trax in the newly revamped Chevy crossover lineup. The team on duty at GM Authority is set to spend a week with the top-of-the-line RS trim level boasting the attractive silver-gray hue officially called Satin Steel Gray Metallic. The cabin sported Jet Black with Red Accents and the two-tone configuration of the Mosaic Black Metallic roof.

The tester is powered by the turbocharged 1.3-L3T engine doling out 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque, paired with the new GM 9-speed automatic transmission and AWD. If you want something just a touch less aggressive there are Trailblazer models with the turbocharged 1.2-L 1-3 LIH engine rated at 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. These models are available exclusively with the front-wheel-drive being commandeered by a Continuously Variable Transmission. The crew has just one day left until they finish their journey, and that is when they will report back with their thoughts on performance, handling, comfort, and value.

 

Much like the Blazer, the 2021 Trailblazer carries over with some of the Camaro-like exterior styling cues for a uniquely aggressive vibe. If jumping off the paved road and gravitating towards the wilderness and wetlands is what moves you, the Activ trim level prepares the Trailblazer for off-road use with the addition of specialized all-season tires, revised shock absorbers, and more in the ground clearance category due to a front fascia that has been reshaped. You'll also get to brandish roof rails on a two-tone roof. The Kia Soul and Jeep Renegade are two of the standout members in the competition lineup, and we feel that the Trailblazer's aggressive touches and longstanding namesake will render it worthy of longstanding battle.

Many that are in the market for a new vehicle that comes to talk to us have safety on the

mind as a major factor. Increasing traffic, distracted drivers, and intense migration to urban

areas have rendered some major thoroughfares as safety risks. This is another reason why so

many pick the Trailblazer: Automatic Emergency Braking detects if a collision may be approaching, and applies the brakes if you don’t yourself in time. Following Distance Indicator constantly displays the distance to the car in front and warns if you’re in the act of following too close. If you happen to be on the long haul and approaching the drowsy zone, it eases the car back in your lane if you drift.

2021 Chevy Suburban Z71 Spotted by Motor1.com Troupe Minus Camouflage

The Chevy Suburban is now all-new for the 2020 model year, and there are big plans ahead for the completely overhauled SUV. By the end of the year, the standard model will be joined in the lineup by an off-road-focused trim wearing the Z71 namesake. Back in May the Suburban Z71 was previewed through an online configuration tool, and this week the staff on duty at Motor1.com offered up the first real-world photos of this new rugged SUV.

The spied-on prototype is not disguised here, and the design matches what is seen on the online configurator to the T. The shiny chrome trim pieces are now replaced with black accents, including the bow-tie, window surrounds, and Suburban badging. There is also a new black grille that sits above a redesigned front bumper, and new protective skid plate at the bottom. The 20-inch machine aluminum wheels also seem to be just slightly modified compared to the regular model's offerings. The power source for the new Z71 is the 5.3-liter V8 that cranks out 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, which is paired to GM's new 10-speed automatic transmission.

When you take a look at the online configurator, you have optional packages to choose from including the Luxury Package and new Rear Media and Nav Package. Make sure to check out the Z71 Signature Package that adds several important safety features as well as panoramic power sunroof. Improving on an SUV as iconic as the Suburban is about much more than just aesthetics. Everyone here at Jim Butler Chevy of St Louis knew that this version was about making the most versatile and advanced Suburban ever – offering up more passenger space, and more ways to have your vehicle specifically tailored to your needs.

The All-new Suburban offers best-in-class second-row legroom, a newly expanded third row, and enough cargo volume for you to have space for anyone at all who comes along for the ride. There are six trims available that all display their own unique style and flair, and we would always have to sway toward the direction of the luxurious High Country or street-styled RST! The Z71 trim offers up red tow hooks and skid plate, 20-inch wheels and all-terrain tires, black tubular assist steps, and available 4-corner air ride adaptive suspension. With an available built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi connection and the new Rear-Seat Media System, the passengers on board will have every last thing they need to stay entertained and connected, and properly enjoy the journey!
