The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt: Efficiency Meets Excellence

Chevrolet is marking a monumental moment in American history—the nation's 250th anniversary—with a special lineup designed for purpose-driven patriotism and true American craftsmanship. The new Stars & Steel Collection honors this milestone while spotlighting Chevrolet's legacy and deep roots in the United States where the brand was founded nearly 115 years ago. The Stars & Steel Collection: Saluting American Innovation Chevrolet’s limited-edition Stars & Steel Collection spans five popular models: Corvette, Silverado EV, Silverado LD, Silverado HD, and Colorado—each designed to capture the spirit of American pride. Every vehicle showcases modernized design elements inspired by the American flag, curated exterior and interior color combos, and exclusive “250” graphics. Corvette: This collector’s item is limited to just 250 units across all coupe and convertible variants, featuring flag-inspired stripes, embroidered plaques showing each car’s sequence number, and bold accents in red or blue. Premium wheels and special interior touches deepen its exclusivity. Silverado EV: Bringing electric power with patriotic flair, the Silverado EV includes 24" gloss black wheels, distinctive flag graphics, and an advanced Brembo heavy-duty brake system alongside a modern, comfortable Sky Cool Gray interior. Silverado LD: Combining power and luxury, the light-duty Silverado delivers a 6.2L engine, massive 22" black wheels, dark essentials badging, and convenience features like a sunroof and advanced protection packages. Silverado HD: For those demanding serious capability, the heavy-duty model mates a 6.6L Duramax Diesel with off-road and trailering packages, plus 20" wheels and numerous special-edition upgrades. Colorado: Compact yet rugged, the Colorado blends adventurous style with practical upgrades—Midnight Package accessories, 4WD, black wheels, red tow hooks, and spray-on bedliner make it a standout in the lineup. All five models celebrate the best of Chevy’s innovative engineering and patriotic pride. Giving Back with Every Purchase To further honor America’s legacy, Chevrolet will donate $250 for every Stars & Steel vehicle sold to charities supporting veterans and military families. The collection’s debut will take place at the 2025 Army-Navy Game, and a one-of-a-kind Corvette ZR1X will be auctioned to benefit the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.

Buying a new car doesn't have to mean stretching your budget to the limit. General Motors has a strong lineup of vehicles priced under $30,000, and each one brings something different to the table — whether you're after fuel efficiency, tech features, or a touch of luxury. Here's a look at five worth considering. 2026 Chevrolet Trax — Starting at $23,495 The Trax is one of the best values in the subcompact SUV segment. Powered by a turbocharged 1.2-liter engine producing 137 horsepower, it earns 28 mpg city and 32 mpg highway. Higher trims include an 11-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus available heated front seats and dual sunroofs. With up to 54.1 cu. ft. of cargo space, it punches well above its price point. 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer — Starting at $25,095 Step up to the Trailblazer and you gain more power, more flexibility, and available all-wheel drive. The optional 1.3-liter turbocharged engine delivers 155 horsepower and up to 33 mpg on the highway. Every trim comes standard with an 11-inch infotainment display, wireless smartphone connectivity, and the full Chevy Safety Assist suite. An available Bose seven-speaker audio system and panoramic sunroof make the cabin feel well above its price. 2026 Buick Envista — Starting at $26,495 If you want a premium badge without the premium price tag, the Envista delivers. It features a smooth turbocharged engine, an ultrawide 11-inch infotainment display, and refined styling that stands out in the compact crossover crowd. It's a smart pick for anyone who values a quieter, more upscale driving experience on a practical budget. 2026 Buick Encore GX — Starting at $28,390 The Encore GX offers a step up in features and refinement. Two engine options are available — including a 1.3-liter turbo with 155 horsepower and available AWD — and three distinct trims give buyers room to personalize. The top-of-the-line Avenir trim adds perforated leather, heated front seats, and dual-zone climate control. Standard safety features include Lane Change Alert, Front Pedestrian Braking, and an HD Rear Vision camera. 2027 Chevrolet Bolt EV — Starting at $28,995 The Bolt EV is back, and it's a compelling option for drivers ready to go electric. With a GM-estimated 262 miles of range per charge and up to 56.3 cu. ft. of cargo space, it's both practical and efficient. Zero stops at the gas station, lower running costs, and a roomy interior make it a genuinely smart everyday vehicle.

Here's what truck buyers can look forward to—and how Eagleson Automotive Center can help you get behind the wheel. Next-Generation V8 Powertrains: 5.7L and 6.6L The headline news is the engine lineup. The 2027 Silverado 1500 introduces available next-generation 5.7L and 6.6L V8 engines, giving it the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 in its class, according to Chevrolet. These engines were assembled at GM's Flint, Tonawanda, and St. Catharines propulsion plants, and validated through extensive towing and durability testing. Buyers still have four powertrain choices. Alongside the two V8s, Chevrolet offers an enhanced 2.7L TurboMax—now paired with a 10-speed transmission and delivering best-in-class standard torque—plus the segment-exclusive 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel. An All-New Exterior Design The 2027 Silverado 1500 wears a stronger, more refined look. A bolder face, new LED headlights and taillights, more pronounced wheel-opening moldings, and updated rocker treatments give the truck serious presence.
