Chevy Bolt EUV Boasts Infinite Kinetic Energy + Excitement With Spot on Autotrader's 10 Best Electric Cars for 2021


The all-new 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV has long been seen as an industry leader when it comes to offering drivers a dose of what the future has in store while serving up a class-leading driving range and all-star performance from the present. Online car authority Autotrader named the new Bolt EUV as a top pick among a current range of electric offerings, who based their final selections on a variety of different criteria. 

Each model on the list includes a plug-in or completely all-electric mode which allows for 15 miles or more of pure-EV driving and will be available for sale within the next six months. While EVs have until recently seen higher costs than traditional gas-powered vehicles, advances over the last few years in battery technology are making them a bit easier to purchase and more fun on the daily drive than ever before. The Bolt EUV has now arrived serving up an extra three inches of rear legroom, and rides on the GM BEV2 platform, drawing its ample power from a 65 kWh lithium-ion battery. 

Every charge will provide the driver 250 miles of driving, and those in a hurry will be able to use DC fast charging capability to add 95 miles of range after just 30 minutes plugged in. The online configurator tool for both the 2022 Bolt EV and Chevy Bolt EUV have both gone live, and allow you to select the trim of your choice while also browsing through seven available exterior colors and two available interior colors to personalize your car. One awesome combination begins with the Premier trim, then adding a finish of Bright Blue Metallic on the outside, and Dark Ash Gray/Sky Cool Grey on the inside. 


In addition to the roof rails that are not found on a Bolt EV, the Bolt EUV SUV has a panoramic sunroof available as well as the GM Super Cruise technology. A truly groundbreaking addition to an already efficient and Eco-conscious car here at Chuck Hutton Chevy of Memphis, this allows the driver to take their hands off the wheel on all of the wired-up and ready-to-roll-on highways of the United States. If you are feeling like snoozing or watching a movie, the technology is not going to quite allow that just yet! Onboard sensors are watching to assure that your eyes don't stray for too long, but in the very near future, this is sure to change. 

With the help of a 240 V Level 2 Charger, you'll be ready to take on whatever the week in the cubicle or on the job site demands in about 7 hours, ideal to add optimal juice as you get your evening's necessary rest. Enjoying industry props as one of the most trusted sources for information about up-and-coming electric models, the staff of GreenCarReports.com claimed that the new Bolt EUV “is the option that can't be beaten” when pitted up against the rival in the form of the Nissan Plus.

2021 Chevy Tahoe Delivers Trusted and True Performance

Consistently known for being a true mover and shaker here at Chuck Hutton Chevrolet of Memphis, the 2021 Chevy Tahoe is on deck and ready for families who are desiring bigger and burlier SUVs. This year's model boasts a deep work-over, aggressive new looks, and a slew of improvements in the technology and chassis departments, including a thorough reworking of the independent rear suspension.

The most potent engine option is the 6.2-Liter V8 cranking out 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, followed up by the 3.0-liter Duramax offering up 277 horses and 460 lb-ft of torque.  The testing crew for Tractionlife.com was equipped with the 5.3-liter V8, the in-between choice churning out 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. This capable engine still allows for an 8,200-lb towing rating, and the troupe also enjoyed the addition of the Z71 Package, adding to the mix red tow hooks and skid plate, 20-inch wheels and all-terrain tires, and the fantastic four-corner air ride adaptive suspension. 

Even the “lower-output” 5.3-liter V8 provided excellent and immediate response, with the pairing to the 10-speed transmission always offering the right gear at the right instant. In regards to the independent rear suspension, the tester fitted with the Magnetic Ride control gave it a useful dose of quick response during steering on winding roads, and resulted in a pleasantly “point and shoot” style of handling that is ideal for daily tasks of city life. This year's model boasts a 66 percent increase in cargo space behind the third row, and the on-board entertainment category is taken care of with GM's top-ranked infotainment system. 

A new dashboard layout is waiting inside, with a cleaner and up-to-date feel, and the bottom line was that key ingredients are tweaked regarding the new model, but the successful recipe remains the same. At its core roots, the Tahoe is an ideally bulky, capable, and do-it-all vehicle that has experienced one of the most resilient aging processes of any vehicle ever created. Much like its larger-sized relative in the case of the Suburban, consumers who simply love cars and need a practical yet current form of transportation will immediately take notice and opt for a test drive. 

The Car and Driver staff praised the current-model Tahoe for its quiet cabin, massively comfortable third row, and segment-leading towing capability. What most people notice first is that the new model is more spacious and sophisticated, and the choice of two V8s offers powerful options with slightly different personalities on the open road. What is our favorite feature that really sets this vehicle apart in a family-friendly class of its own? Every model is outfitted with a 10.2-inch touchscreen that includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a rear-seat infotainment system with two 12.6-inch displays mounted behind the front seats.

2021 Chevy Malibu Embellishes Exterior, Interior, and Mechanical Updates For Spring's Arrival

As the annual milestone of the first day of spring arrived here at Chuck Hutton of Memphis, customers are coming out to the lot after a very difficult year to prepare for their inevitable sense of freedom and regaining their family or business momentum! The 2021 Chevy Malibu has received a few updates for the sixth model year of its existence, adding even more reasons to make it your choice for a driver-focused and feature-rich sedan. 

On the outside, the 2021 Malibu sees the addition of the Cherry Red Tintcoat color, gloss-black grille installed right here by our service pros, and 19-inch aluminum wheels available on LT models. Inside there is a brand-new design change in the gear selector/shifter, and the added convenience of Wireless Apple CarPlay and Wireless Android Auto, as well as the Buckle to Drive safety system. As the warm days of summer get closer, it's a great time to add an urban flair to your new Chevy that makes it stand out: you can choose a dealer-installed sport lowering suspension kit to ride that much closer to the pavement you're preparing to pounce on! 


There are two engine choices for the Malibu: the turbocharged 1.5-liter U-5 engine with an output of 160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, and the turbocharged 2.0-Liter I-4 LTG with 250 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Another great way to enhance every drive is with the newly-available Sport Edition: it includes the black nameplate badge, black front and rear bowties, blacked-out grille, 19-inch Black-painted aluminum wheels, 245/40R19 all-season blackwall tires, and leather-wrapped steering wheel. All owners of the Redline edition will now see the inclusions of dealer-installed Redline outside mirror decals. 


With handsome styling, an ideal balance of ride and handling, and a standard 4-cylinder that still provides ample hustle, the Malibu's LT trim is the point at which things are middle of the road but still provide valuable extras that make things begin to sizzle! You'll enjoy 17-inch wheels, LED taillights, an acoustically laminated windshield, remote engine starting, heated front seats, and power-adjustable driver's seat. The Driver Confidence I and II packages provide the best in technology watchdogs such as blind-spot monitoring, automated emergency braking, and lane-keeping assist. 


Car and Driver ranked this year's Malibu as “incredibly comfortable and ergonomically friendly”, noting the large opening just beneath the center stack that adds a nice spatial dimension to the interior. The front seats are wide and adequately supportive, and the trunk provides ample carry-on space. Verified customer reviews are excellent sources that describe how a car performs repeatedly during “real world” scenarios, and one very happy grad student in Virginia loved the radio sound quality at entry-level trim, extra room, and acceleration factor off the line. After your test drive ask about our bumper-to-bumper warranty, protecting you with confidence and providing reliability for you while you navigate a busy schedule and enjoy every available extra second of pavement playtime!
