Chevy Suburban likely to reach 200,000 miles

A recent study conducted by market research firm iSeeCars indicates the Chevy Suburban is one of the longest-lasting nameplates around, with many examples of the full-size SUV surpassing 200,000 miles driven.

Chevy Suburban likely to reach 200,000 miles

iSeeCars based its Top 15 Longest-Lasting Cars ranking on the percentage of registered vehicles of a particular nameplate that have surpassed the 200,000-mile mark. The study found that 6.6 percent of all Chevy Suburban models registered in the U.S. today have 200,00 miles or more – making it the third longest-lasting vehicle, based on this metric. The Toyota Land Cruiser was first, with 18.2 percent of vehicles reaching at least 200,000 miles driven, followed by the Toyota Sequoia at 14.2 percent.

Not surprisingly, the GMC Yukon XL, which is essentially a rebadged version of the Suburban, was right behind it in fourth, with 5.5 percent of Yukon XLs hitting 200,000 miles or more. The Chevy Tahoe, of which the Chevy Suburban is an extended wheelbase version, was also among the top ten longest-lasting vehicles at 4.4 percent. The GMC Yukon was twelfth overall at 3.7 percent.

While iSeeCars did not say why fewer GMC Yukon and Yukon XL models hit 200,000 miles than Chevy Suburban and Tahoe models, it could be due to the fact that they are more likely to have added luxury features, which could increase repair costs later in the vehicle’s life span and make it more likely owners will replace the vehicle instead of repairing it. This may also be why the Cadillac Escalade is absent from the top 15.

iSeeCars analyst Karl Brauer was not surprised to see GM’s four full-size SUVs perform well with regard to longevity and reliability.

“All manufactured by General Motors, the Chevrolet Suburban, GMC Yukon, GMC Yukon XL, and Chevrolet Tahoe share a platform and many common parts, confirming why these popular family vehicles are all likely to last 200,000 miles,” said Brauer.

Chevy Corvette Wins Best Resale Value

The Chevy Corvette Stingray has won the 2022 Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Award in the Sports Car category.

Kelley Blue Book’s Best Resale Value Awards are an annual recognition of the automakers and vehicle models that retain the highest percentage of their original value on the used market. The Chevy Corvette took top honors in the sports car category this year and was also listed as the number one model for resale value overall, beating out popular models like the Ford F-Series, Toyota 4Runner and Tesla Model X. The best brand for resale value was Toyota, while the best luxury brand was the Japanese automaker’s luxury arm Lexus.

According to Kelley Blue Book, much of a vehicle’s resale value is based on supply and demand, as well as “current and projected future market conditions.” Some vehicles, however, like the Chevy Corvette, also retain a high percentage of their original value as they are not often discounted from new and generate high levels of consumer interest. In other words, shoppers in the market for a Chevy Corvette may be willing to pay a higher amount for a used model if they are unable to locate a new one with any kind of discounted price, and are usually highly motivated to make the purchase.

The publication says an average 2022 model-year vehicle will only retain about 43 percent of its original value after a five-year ownership period, which means a vehicle that sells for $45,000 new today will only be worth about $19,350 five years down the road. Vehicles included in this list of the top ten best vehicles for resale value, by comparison, will retain around 56 percent of their original price on the used market.

Chevy Corvette Wins Best Resale Value but other GM vehicles that received awards for resale value from Kelley Blue Book this year include the GMC Yukon (full-size SUV category) and GMC Sierra (full-size pickup category).

2023 chevy trailblazer production start date

The 2023 Chevy Trailblazer is set to arrive as the third model year of the latest third-generation nameplate, which was initially introduced as an all-new small crossover for the 2021 model year in the United States. Now, GM Authority has learned when production of the 2023 Chevy Trailblazer will start.

Would you like to order a new Chevy Trailblazer? Call the Ron Westphal Chevy Customer Care Team at 630-898-9630 for details. It’s fast and easy!

According to GM Authority sources, production of the 2023 Chevy Trailblazer will start on April 24^th. The Trailblazer is currently produced at two locations, including at the GM Bupyeong plant in Bupyeong-gu, Incheon, South Korea, and the GM China Dong Yue plant in Yantai, Shandong, China.

The Chevy Trailblazer is offered with two engine options, namely the turbocharged 1.2L inline three-cylinder LIH gasoline engine, which produces 137 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 162 pound-feet of torque at 2,500 rpm, and the turbocharged 1.3L inline three-cylinder L3T gasoline engine, which produces 155 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 174 pound-feet of torque at 1,500 rpm. The 1.2L LIH connects to GM’s continuously variable automatic transmission, while the 1.3L L3T connects to either the CVT the GM nine-speed automatic transmission.

Under the skin, the Chevy Trailblazer rides on top of the GM VSS-F vehicle set.

As GM Authority covered previously, General Motors is changing up how dealers order the Chevy Trailblazer crossover, as well as the Chevy Trax. Previously, dealers would order both crossovers using the traditional “consensus” model wherein dealers would request which vehicles they wanted from the factory. This was done at regular intervals (or order cycles, aka DOSP) and gave dealers a good amount of say in which vehicles they got.

By comparison, General Motors is now moving to a “port consensus” model for the Chevy Trailblazer and Chevy Trax, wherein General Motors builds the vehicles it thinks are needed, then ships the vehicles to port, with dealers then selecting which vehicles they would like.

Also noteworthy is the Chevy Trailblazer’s recent reliability performance, with Consumer Reports giving the Trailblazer a tying score for most reliable new vehicle.

2022 Chevy Equinox is a better value than 2021

Pricing for the 2022 Chevy Equinox in the base LS trim level and with front-wheel drive starts at $26,995, which is $600 cheaper than the 2021 model-year Equinox. The 2022 Equinox LS with all-wheel drive is priced from $29,195, which is also $600 cheaper than its 2021 model-year equivalent. It’s a similar scenario with the 2022 Chevy Equinox LT with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, which are both $700 cheaper than they were for the 2021 model year.

Looking for a new Equinox? Call our Customer Care Team at 630-898-9630.

Trim Level	Drivetrain	Powertrain	2022 Equinox	2021 Equinox	+/- 2022	% Change 2022
L	FWD	Turbo 1.5L I4 LYX	Dropped	$24,995	–	–
LS	FWD	Turbo 1.5L I4 LYX	$26,995	$27,595	-$600	+2.22%
LS	AWD	Turbo 1.5L I4 LYX	$28,595	$29,195	-$600	+2.1%
LT	FWD	Turbo 1.5L I4 LYX	$28,095	$28,795	-$700	+2.49%
LT	AWD	Turbo 1.5L I4 LYX	$29,695	$30,395	-$700	+2.36%

Premier	AWD	Turbo 1.5L I4 LYX	$33,795	$34,295	-$500	+1.48%

Lastly, there’s the range-topping 2022 Chevy Equinox Premier, which is priced from $32,195 with front-wheel drive and $33,795 with all-wheel drive. This is $500 less than the 2021 Chevy Equinox Premier. The 2022 Chevy Equinox RS is priced from $31,295 with front-wheel drive and $32,895 with all-wheel drive, but this model is all-new for the 2022MY and there is thus no year-over-year price change to report.

There is no specific reason for the price deductions applied to the 2022 Chevy Equinox. But, 2022 Chevy Equinox is now a better value than 2021. We imagine the lower starting price tags will be welcome news for Chevy customers, though, as the automotive industry has seen a sharp rise in average transaction prices over the past year due to low inventory levels and high demand. The 2022 Chevy Equinox also represents the first model year of the second-generation Equinox’s mid-cycle enhancement (MCE) and incorporates revised exterior styling and a mildly overhauled cabin, among other changes. Power in the 2022 Equinox comes from a turbocharged 1.5L I4 LYX gasoline engine rated at 170 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque.

Looking ahead, the Chevy Equinox will be joined by the 2024 Chevy Equinox EV – a new battery-electric compact crossover that utilizes GM’s Ultium platform and Ultium Drive electric motors. The Equinox EV will enter production in the spring of 2023.
