2021 Malibu

The 2021 Malibu kicks off our list of some of the best of this year’s Chevy lineup with a starting MSRP of $22,140. The midsize sedan is one of the most popular cars in America because it effortlessly combines sophistication and luxury with sportiness and capability. That capability comes from under the hood, with Chevy giving drivers the option between two powertrains. The Malibu comes standard with a 1.5-liter EcoTec engine that averages 29 MPG in the city and 36 MPG on the highway for a maximum range of 560 miles on a single tank. Drivers looking for more power can upgrade to the 2.0-liter turbocharged EcoTec engine and 9-speed automatic transmission that delivers 250 horsepower and a fuel economy of 22 MPG in the city and 33 MPG on the highway.

In addition to its two powertrain options, the 2021 Malibu is available in five trims – L ($22,140), LS ($23,270), RS ($24,270), LT ($26,670), and Premier ($33,370). These models are packed with a progressive suite of technology, safety, and convenience features that are designed to meet a variety of needs. One of the most exciting features on the Malibu includes the available 8-in reconfigurable driver information center that allows drivers to customize the display behind the steering wheel to show data like speed, mileage, fuel economy, navigation cues, and more.

2021 Colorado

Chevy is changing the game of the midsize truck market with the 2021 Colorado that, despite being the smallest truck in the lineup, offers outstanding power and full-size capability with an available payload of up to 1,550 pounds and a maximum trailering capacity of 7,700 pounds. This, along with the Colorado’s affordable starting MSRP of $25,200, earned the truck high praise from industry experts like Kelley Blue Book, who named the 2020 Colorado a “Best Buy Award Winner.” What else makes the Colorado so special?

All eyes are on the 2021 Colorado ZR2, which is what Chevy calls a “next-level adventure machine.” The ZR2 offers higher ground clearance and is outfitted with Multimatic shocks, front and rear locking differentials, skid plates, and rock sliders that make the Colorado ready for every off-road adventure. Drivers looking to take this capability even further can opt for the ZR2 Bison, which features boron steel skid-plates, exclusive wheel flares designed by American Expedition Vehicles, front and rear recovery points, and a front winch to ensure the Colorado can navigate out of any situation on the trail.

Aside from the rugged ZR2 trim package, the Colorado proves its prowess both on and off the pavement with three available powertrain options that are designed for both work and play. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine delivers 200 horsepower and 191 lb-ft of torque with a max towing capability of 3,500 pounds. Drivers can upgrade to the 3.6-liter V6 engine that boosts the Colorado’s power to 308 horsepower, 275 lb-ft of torque, and a towing capability of up to 7,000 pounds. Of course, Chevy didn’t leave out diesel lovers and offers the Duramax 2.8-liter turbodiesel that takes the Colorado’s capability even further by delivering 181 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque with a max towing capability of 7,700 pounds.

2021 Blazer

One of the most exciting vehicles in the 2021 Chevy lineup is the Blazer, which starts at $28,800 and offers seating for five. The Blazer’s return to the Chevy lineup is a welcome addition since it only gets better with time. For example, the 2021 Blazer gives drivers plenty of room to haul whatever they need with 64.2 cu.ft. of cargo space and a maximum towing capability of 4,500 pounds. Add in its fuel economy rating of up to 22 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on the highway, and the Blazer makes a great vehicle whether commuting to work, running errands around town, or taking the family on vacation.

We especially love that the Blazer doesn’t have to look like your standard SUV since Chevy offers packages like the Midnight Edition, the Sport Edition, and the Redline Edition. With the Sport Edition, drivers can add bold accents to their Blazer, while the Midnight Edition puts the SUV in stealth mode. The Midnight package includes a gloss-black grille bar and nameplate as well as black front and rear bowtie emblems, mirrors, and center caps. The Midnight Edition sits on upgraded 18-in gloss black aluminum wheels, while the Redline Edition sits on 20-in gloss black wheels with red accents.

2021 Corvette Stingray

If you’ve got a need for speed, Chevy has you covered with the 2021 Corvette Stingray that starts at $58,900 and delivers a top-track speed of 194 mph. Equipped with a 6.2-liter V8 direct-injection engine and an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, the Stingray can travel from 0 to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds. For 2021, Chevy unleashed even more features with new design options like the GT1, GT2, and Competition Sport interiors, as well as new technology like the Driver Mode Selector Visualization and Wireless Phone Projection.

The GT1 interior offers genuine Mulan leather seating, while the GT2 boasts carbon-fiber trim and a seat back wrapped in genuine Napa leather. The Competition Sport interior is designed for driving the track with performance-rated textile in areas of high wear and tear. Other customization options on the 2021 model include bold stinger stripes in Carbon Flash with Edge Red, Edge Yellow, or Midnight Silver. Drivers can also choose from new exterior colors like Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat and Silver Flare Metallic with interior color options now including Sky Cool Gray upholstery with Strike Yellow stitching.

The Stingray’s technology is also top-of-the-line with a 12-in diagonal display that offers three distinct themes to give drivers all the information they need within eyesight. Drivers can add advanced features like Enhanced Navigation with 3D View and a 14-speaker Bose Performance Series audio system. Additional features include the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, Bluetooth compatibility, and an available 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot connection.
