According to the official records of the manufacturer, Chevrolet cars got more J.D. Power Quality Awards than any other car brand over the last 4 years. They perform well in the crash tests held by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The vehicles are manufactured by the General Motors company, and their history dates back to 1911, when William C. Durant and Louis Chevrolet founded their company. Nowadays, cars of the make are available in more than 140 countries. 4.76 million copies were sold in 2011.

Technical specifications of Chevrolet cars

The company was always ahead of competing manufacturers and actively implemented innovations. Its car reached 105 km/h as early as in 1912. Since that time, the company’s model range included many powerful cars characterised by excellent performance and off-road capability.

An 8-cylinder engine of the Small Block series gained worldwide fame. Various models of the make were equipped with it for about half a century. This engine became the most widespread V8 motor in the world. The first generation of these power units, presented in 1955, is still produced nowadays, but only for aftermarket Chevrolet spare parts.

Modern models, such as Suburban and Tahoe off-roaders, Silverado HD pickups and others are equipped with EcoTec3 series 8-cylinder engines with the brand cylinder deactivation system called Active Fuel Management. The latter shuts down half of the cylinders if full engine power is not required. This allows to reduce fuel consumption by 5.5–7.5%. The variable valve timing system ensures efficient use of the engine power.

Another interesting technology implemented in many cars of the make is the adaptive damping system called Magnetic Ride Control. It uses shock absorbers with a magnetorheological fluid. The system monitors the road surface condition up to 1000 times a second and adjusts the damping in shocks in accordance with received data. This allows to achieve maximum ride smoothness and perfect steerability. This suspension is installed on Tahoe off-roaders, Corvette roadsters, Camaro coupes and cabriolets.

Another distinctive feature of Chevrolet cars is the capacity of their interior. For instance, some Suburban SUVs have as many as 9 seats.
