In celebration of the 40th anniversary of Achilles International, Chevrolet Military Appreciation is proud to sponsor the 2023 Achilles Relay. This relay is a 500-mile run, walk, and wheel relay race that travels from Boston, MA to Washington DC. Chevrolet and Achilles International have joined together to support and transform the lives of wounded military personnel and veterans through donations and fundraising. Keep on the lookout for the race passing through the New York area on May 19 – 20th.

Achilles International is a global organization that includes 17 countries dedicated to empowering people with disabilities through athletic programs and social connection. The Achilles Freedom Team (a subgroup of Achilles International) provides wounded, ill and injured veterans an opportunity to participate in high profile marathons and races. This Military Appreciation Month, Achilles plans to raise over $10,000 for those living with military disabilities before the race reaches its Washington DC destination. 

Roughly 26% of adults in the United States live with a disability, with nearly half of those receiving no aerobic physical activity. Research also shows that people with disabilities are more likely to report feelings of loneliness and social isolation. The Achilles Relay is to welcome people with and without disabilities to celebrate the athlete within and show how we can overcome obstacles together.

Help us support our wounded veterans this Military Appreciation month! Click here to learn more.

Last month, the first-ever retail production of the new 2024 Chevy Corvette E-Ray was able to raise over $1 million for education nonprofit DonorsChoose at the Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach Auction. The E-Ray marks a new point in the 70-year Corvette history as the first-ever electrified all-wheel drive with a 0-60 time of 2.5 seconds. Powered by a 6.2L Small Block V-8 in the rear and an electric motor on the front axle, the first all-wheel drive Corvette produces a combined 655 horsepower and is the quickest Corvette in history. 

Executive Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter took the stage to encourage bids and generate excitement for the E-Ray auction. DonorsChoose, founded in 2000 to provide resources to teachers, has now fulfilled more than two and a half million classroom projects by connecting donors to direct requests. One hundred percent of the sale price will be donated to DonorsChoose, creating a multitude of opportunities in meeting the needs of public schools in low-income communities. 

“General Motors and Chevrolet are proud to join DonorsChoose on its mission of combatting inequality in school funding by providing underserved communities with the resources needed for a quality education,” said Steve Majoros, chief marketing officer, Chevrolet. “The Corvette E-Ray is a special product for Chevrolet, and we are honored that the proceeds from the sale of VIN 001 will aid this organization in supporting students and teachers around the nation.”

Things such as officer wellness, employee reward and recognition programs, K9 Unit requests, Honor Guard and technologies not typically funded by the regular police budget. The foundation board is composed of Fairfield Residents and business owners who will assist in fundraising and supporting the mission of the foundation.

Bigger. Bolder. More refined. The all-new redesigned 2024 Trax is built and on its way to our dealership – but they won’t last long. The 2024 model is larger, lower, and wider than today’s Trax, providing more space for passengers, cargo, and standard content.

With five distinct personalities reflected in five trim lines, you will be able to curate the perfect new Trax for any family. 

Enhanced exterior is only the beginning – inside the Trax you will find a technology-forward interior designed to create a lightweight environment to create a sense of airiness. The low instrument panel enhances outward visibility, with texture patterns to add depth. The LS and 1RS trim lines feature an 8-inch-diagonal infotainment color touchscreen, while LT, 2RS and ACTIV have an 11-inch-diagonal infotainment color touchscreen and an 8-inch-diagonal driver information center. You’ll also find that each trim includes their own decor and accents, such as black seats with Sky Cool Gray accents in the LT with red accents and a racing-inspired steering wheel on the 2RS. Standard equipment includes an electronic parking brake, four bottle holders and two cup holders, heated front seats, mirror and steering wheel, remote start on select trims, and more. 

With a technology-focused vehicle comes enhanced safety features available in every trim. Some safety features include Chevy Safety Assist, Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, LED headlamps, four-wheel disc brakes, and Active Noise cancellation.

It’s time to say our goodbyes. After nine strong years of model runs, the sixth generation of Camaro will be the last. To celebrate the end of the beloved nameplate, Chevrolet is creating a Collector’s Edition package on the 2024 Camaro RS and SS, with a limited availability on the ZL1. The Collector’s Edition pays homage to Camaro, resurfacing ties that date back to the development of the first generation Camaro in the 1960s, most notably the program’s initial code name: Panther. The final models will leave the assembly line at the Lansing Grand River Assembly Plant in Michigan in January 2024. 

The latest generation of Camaro is known for supreme athleticism and composure – with both coupe and soft-top convertible options available. Magnetic Ride Control became available within the recent model year, with the ability to read the road and change damping in just 10 to 15 milliseconds. Available on SS and standard on ZL1 and SS with the 1LE Performance Package, it works with the Performance Traction Management system and eLSD to provide stability at high speeds, making the system exceptionally responsive and providing increased wheel control.

The available ZL1-inspired dual-mode exhaust allows for peak performance at high engine speeds and is engineered to create an aggressive sound at idle without being overwhelming. The sculptural decklid, horizontal lamps and rear diffuser complete the powerful statement.   

The 2023 Camaro offers powerful technologies that put you in control and can even help you become a better driver. The Chevrolet Infotainment system features Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Wireless Android Auto™ compatibility And with an available Wi-Fi® Hotspot, you can stay connected without all the cords. Built with both performance and safety in mind, the Camaro comes with standard Rear Vision Camera, and available Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Change Assist Alert, and Forward Collision Alert.

“As we prepare to say goodbye to the current generation Camaro, it is difficult to overstate our gratitude to every Camaro customer, Camaro assembly line employee and race fan,” said Scott Bell, vice president, Global Chevrolet. “While we are not announcing an immediate successor today, rest assured, this is not the end of Camaro’s story.”

More details on the Collector’s Edition Package will be revealed later this year – keep an eye on our facebook for updates!

Electric vehicles are smoother, faster, more efficient, and even more convenient when compared to their fuel requiring counterparts. EVs don’t require conventional gearboxes, make little to no noise, offer huge amounts of instant torque, double the energy efficiency of fuel vehicles, and can be charged in the comfort of your own garage. While the Chevrolet Bolt EV and Bolt EUV have been taking the electric market by storm, and the first-ever Silverado EV has finally opened for pre-orders, Chevy has more in store for their EV lineup: The Blazer and Equinox EV.

ALL-ELECTRIC BLAZER

Blazer EV is the complete package with style, performance and technology. Available in multiple trims, colors and battery ranges, this daring new all-electric midsize SUV is built from the ground up around the game-changing Ultium battery platform. The spacious, futuristic interior of Blazer EV offers performance seating, a race car-inspired flat-bottom steering wheel and ambient lighting to match your vibe. Plus, available Super Cruise – hands-free driving and explore 400,000 miles of compatible roads in the U.S. and Canada with Super Cruise driver assistance technology.

Blazer EV includes standard Chevy Safety Assist, a suite of six advanced safety features. Additionally, available Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist can automatically steer, brake and shift gears to park your vehicle into a detected parallel or perpendicular parking space while shifting gears as needed, and standard Reverse Automatic Braking alerts you and can automatically provide hard emergency braking to help avoid collisions with detected vehicles and objects directly behind you when you’re in Reverse.

Ultium offers flexibility in charging speeds, range and performance — giving the sporty Blazer EV the sheer power and confidence needed to go the distance. Enjoy a GM-estimated range of up to 247–320 miles on a full charge. When enabled, Regen on Demand™ and One Pedal Driving help convert the vehicle’s kinetic energy into energy stored in the battery for later use to help get the most range.

ALL-ELECTRIC EQUINOX

Equinox EV is proof that electric doesn’t have to mean exclusive. Enabled by the Ultium Platform — this sporty, refined vehicle is engineered to be the total package made affordable, electrifying your daily drives. Whether it’s a quick jaunt or long journey, Equinox EV has up to 300 miles of electric range on a full charge. When enabled, Regen On Demand and One Pedal Driving will convert the vehicle’s kinetic energy into energy stored in the battery. 

In addition to Chevy Safety Assist, Equinox EV is equipped with Reverse Automatic Braking. This new technology can alert you and/or automatically provide hard emergency braking to help avoid collisions with detected vehicles and objects directly behind you when you’re in Reverse.

A clean, modern exterior with walk-up lighting puts you center stage. Modern touches like available front and rear lighting animations and flush door handles round out this seriously stylish package. A roomy, no-compromises interior features ample cargo room and convenient storage solutions. Make it yours with available features such as customizable ambient lighting, heated front seats, heated steering wheel and heated wiper park. And with intuitive controls within reach on an available massive 17-inch driver-centric freeform display, you’re always just a touch away from the tech you love.

Transitioning to EV

Based on limited availability, we recommend that you reserve an incoming or future EV model as soon as possible, even if owning an EV is a year down the road. Enjoy the benefit of less scheduled maintenance, over the air updates, and save an average of $4,387 over 5 years in fuel and maintenance prices for someone that drives 15k miles per year. If you think the price of gas will go up over the next few years like we do, the savings will be even more. Plus, you’ll put ZERO emissions into our environment as your new EV doesn’t even have an exhaust pipe – nothing gets burned!

Unlike the old process of visiting a dealership to pick a vehicle out of stock, your new electric vehicles will be built to order. If you prefer, we can even deliver your new vehicle right to your home with our Maritime Concierge Service.

The all-electric Silverado isn’t just a truck – it’s a category-defying, boundary-breaking game change. The only EV worthy of the Silverado name. This innovative EV combines cutting-edge tech with over a century of truck-building know-how to create a vehicle that more than delivers on its legendary name. The best part? Reservations are open for you to secure your very own.

To fit those extra-long items, the Silverado EV comes with available Multi-Flex Midgate to fit items over 10ft in length. Of course, you’ll also have the added benefit of no engine, which means the convenience of a trunk in the front of your Silverado. The Silverado EV will also come with available Super Cruise Driver Assistance Technology – hands-free driving and trailering up to 10,000lbs across 200,000 compatible roads in the U.S and Canada. All four wheels work together for a smaller turning radius, helping you make those tight turns when parallel parking or pulling your EV into a narrow parking space. What’s more, you can tow and trailer with confidence thanks to greater maneuverability and enhanced handling.

Of course, what would the new Silverado be without the added benefit of modern essentials? Enjoy a 17-inch diagonal, free-form screen that puts the info right where you want it. With Google built-in, your digital life will be fully connected to life on the road with Google Assistant, Google Maps, and Google Play.
