2014 Chevy Spark Named IIHS Top Safety Pick

2014 Chevy Spark Named IIHS Top Safety Pick

DELAWARE, Ohio- It's something that can be difficult to achieve in a minicar, but the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is recognizing Chevrolet for their dedication to safety! In 2014 model year testing, the 2014 Chevy Spark was named IIHS Top Safety Pick! In the Chevy Spark's first year of eligibility it became the only vehicle in the minicar segment to earn the Top Safety Pick rating!

Though minicars present unique safety challenges due to their size, the 2014 Chevy Spark IIHS Top Safety Pick delivers big safety in a small package. Chevrolet's extensive use of high-strength and ultra-high-strength steels throughout the vehicle provides additional protection to passengers from all angles. In addition to 10 standard airbags, a rollover sensing system, and countless other safety features, the 2014 Spark definitely earned its title!

In the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's recent testing, the 2014 Chevrolet Spark earned the highest possible "Good" score in the moderate overlap front, side, roof strength, and head restraints tests. In the new small overlap test which is designed to replicate what happens when the front corner of the vehicle strikes another vehicle or object like a tree or utility pole, the Spark earned an "Acceptable" score.

Best Of The Best: Chevrolet Stingray and Silverado

Best Of The Best: Chevrolet Stingray and Silverado

DELAWARE, Ohio- With the end of the year brings Autoweek's Best of the Best Awards. The annual awards look back at all of the vehicles that either made their debut or were significantly updated, and then name two vehicles as the Best of the Best! The car and truck chosen by Autoweek as this year's Best of the Best were the Chevrolet Stingray and Silverado, proving yet again that the automaker's decision to revamp their lineup was the right choice!

The debut of the brand new Corvette Stingray and redesigned Silverado in 2014 landed Chevrolet Autoweek's Best of the Best Car & Truck Awards! How are the Best of the Best vehicles selected? The thorough grading process at the Michigan International Speedway considers the vehicle's drivetrain, ride quality, handling, exterior styling, whether it is fun to drive, and if it is a good value.

Chevrolet is actually the first brand to win both the car and truck category, taking home both of Autoweek's Best of the Best Awards! According to Autoweek, it was a grad slam for Chevrolet who was able to capture best-in-class performance, economy, fit and finish, and reliability through the effort and execution of the Stingray and Silverado.

If you want the Best of the Best this Christmas, come see us at Chesrown to check out the 2014 Silverado and Corvette Stingray!

Safe Driving Tips For Winter

Safe Driving Tips For Winter

DELAWARE, Ohio- The official first day of Winter hasn't even arrived yet and we're already dealing with dreadful driving conditions thanks to snow, ice, and freezing rain! It's always best just to stay home when a winter storm hits, but we know that you all have commitments that you can't avoid sometimes. So if you must head out when the snow is coming down, remember these Safe Driving Tips for Winter!

Safe Driving Tips for Winter:

1. Drive Slow. It takes longer to maneuver when you are driving on snow-covered roads compared to when you are driving on dry pavement, so make sure to slow down and give yourself some extra time.

2. Move Slow. Like we said, everything takes longer on snow- or ice-covered pavement so avoid skids and regain traction by accelerating slowly. It takes longer to slow down on on snow-covered roads, so start decelerating early to make sure you can slow down safely.

3. Back Up. Again, maneuvering on wet roads takes longer, so increase the following distance from the car in front of you to 8-10 seconds to make sure you have the extra time needed should you have to stop.

4. Brake Safely. Avoid slamming on your brakes in winter driving conditions. The best way to stop in snowy or icy conditions is threshold braking. Simply keep the heel of your foot on the floor and apply firm, steady pressure to the brake with the ball of your foot.

5. Take Hills Steady. As you approach a hill in the winter, the best method is to try to get some inertia before reaching the incline, and allow that to carry you up. Avoid applying extra gas when driving up hills in the winter since it can make your wheels spin.

6. Don't Stop Up Hill. Avoid stopping on an incline since trying to get going from a stop while on an snow-covered hill can be difficult.

If you're already having a hard time navigating the winter weather in your current vehicle, stop by Chesrown Autos and we can help you find a vehicle to keep you safe all year long!

DELAWARE, Ohio- It's that time of year where automakers debut the latest and greatest versions of their most popular vehicles at upcoming auto shows! This year, Chevrolet kicked off auto show season with the debut of the Colorado mid-size truck, and now the automaker has announced that the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 debut is planned! Chevy will release the final addition to their performance car line up at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit next month!

The most track-capable Corvette ever is set to be revealed at the Detroit Auto Show next month. The 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 debut will reveal a vehicle set to deliver superior levels of performance through a unique powertrain, chassis, and aerodynamic features.

The new Corvette Z06 will be accompanied by the Corvette Stingray Convertible, Camaro Z/28, and SS sedan when it joins the automaker's performance car lineup. With this addition, Chevrolet will look to continue to dominate performance car sales as it did throughout the past year!
