The Most Powerful and Efficient Chevrolet Engines

2020 Chevrolet Corvette | Clay, NY

With a lineup as extensive as the one you can find at Sharon Chevrolet, it can be daunting to dig in and discover which Chevrolet engines are at the top of their game. As such, we at Sharon Chevrolet found the most powerful and efficient Chevrolet engines on the market, so you don’t have to.

Most powerful Chevrolet engines

In terms of horsepower, the most powerful Chevrolet engine belongs to the 2019 Corvette ZR1. Boasting a supercharged 6.2-liter V8, the Corvette ZR1 delivers 755 horsepower and 715 lb-ft of torque. It’s not just the most powerful Chevrolet engine currently — it’s also the most powerful engine ever offered for a production Corvette.

Horsepower is all well and good, but when you’ve got something heavy to haul or tow, torque is the number that matters. Here, it’s the 2020 Silverado HD 3500 that wins out. This truck’s Duramax® 6.6-liter Turbo-Diesel V8 reaches a whopping 445 horsepower and 910 lb-ft of torque.

Most fuel-efficient Chevrolet engines

If your main objective is to save money fuel, you’ll love the 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine in the 2020 Spark. It gets 30 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway, making it an incredibly fuel-efficient engine.* Not far behind is the 2020 Malibu with its 1.5-liter engine, which gets up to 36 mpg on the highway.**

Among pickup trucks, we’d be remiss not to mention the Duramax® 3.0-liter Turbo-Diesel in the 2020 Silverado 1500. This engine achieves 33 mpg on the highway, while still giving the truck a towing capacity of up to 9,300 pounds when properly equipped.***

Each of these Chevrolet engines is an impressive option that’s worth considering when searching for your next vehicle. Give us a call at Sharon Chevrolet in Clay, New York, to learn more about each vehicle.

* EPA-estimated 30 MPG city/38 highway with 5-speed manual transmission or available CVT.
** EPA-estimated 1.5L engine 29 MPG city/36 highway
*** EPA-estimated with available Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel engine.

Three Chevrolet Models Were Voted ‘Most American’

According to the Cars.com list of “most American” cars, Chevrolet vehicles are considered quite American in comparison to other vehicles. Year after year, the popular Cars.com utilizes an American-Made Index to determine which new models contribute most to the U.S. economy. This year, the 2019 Corvette, 2019 Colorado and 2019 Camaro were the Chevrolet models voted “most American.”

Cars.com relies on five factors to build a comprehensive picture of a model’s economic benefit: where a vehicle’s assembly takes place, where a vehicle’s transmissions and engines are from, a vehicle’s domestic-parts content and the number of U.S. factory workers employed by the parent automaker in relation to the vehicle’s sales.

Notably, Chevrolet was the only automaker both headquartered and manufactured in the U.S. to land more than one model in the top 10 of the list. Assembled in Kentucky, the iconic Corvette was ranked fifth. The Colorado, assembled in Missouri, came in at number eight. Just shy of the top 10, the powerful Camaro is assembled in Lansing, Michigan, and ranked 11th.

We at Sharon Chevrolet are proud to offer the 2019 Chevrolet Camaro, Colorado and Corvette. Take a test drive in each impressive model at our dealership.

Here Are the Best Cars for Driving in the Snow

2019 Chevrolet Equinox

No one likes driving in the snow; it’s stressful, dangerous, and time-consuming. But, some drivers mind it less than others, and those drivers are the ones behind the wheel of one of these winter-ready and snow-competent vehicles.

Honda CR-V

This crossover is ready for just about any weather the season throws its way. The Honda CR-V features stable suspension, a capable powertrain, and precise responsiveness, all of which will come in handy when the snow piles up.

Chevrolet Equinox

Redesigned in 2018, the Chevy Equinox feels like it was bred for driving in the snow. The new Equinox features optional all-wheel drive and two turbocharged four-cylinder engines, so you’ll have the capability and power to blast through any level of snowfall. Plus, as an added bonus, the Equinox features Remote Start, so you can get the motor running and heat pumping before you enter the vehicle.

Any Subaru

It’s no secret that all Subaru vehicles come with standard All-Wheel Drive. This alone boosts every Subaru model’s ability to drive in the snow. Additionally, Subaru designed its vehicles with activity in mind. This means the vehicles generally boast better clearance and handling systems, which are essential for navigating snowy terrains.

You can find a wide selection of pre-owned vehicles at Sharon Chevrolet that are great for driving through the snowy roads of Liverpool, New York.

No matter which Blazer you choose, you’ll experience an exceptional ride. The Blazer comes with a standard 2.5-liter I-4 engine that delivers 193 horsepower and features Intelligent Stop/Start technology to optimize fuel efficiency. It also comes with a standard Chevrolet infotainment system with an 8-inch color touchscreen and standard Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ compatibility.
