The mid-size sedan segment is widely considered to be the most competitive of any other. So it’s pretty impressive that the Chevrolet Malibu Eco—a car that will be sold in a staggering total of 100 countries—is hailed by automotive experts to be one of the leading mid-size sedans on the new-car market.
The Chevrolet Malibu Eco echoes, both inside and out, some of the styling queues that you will find in the brand-new Camaro. On the inside, high quality buttons and the latest technology make you feel like you’re in a car that belongs in the future. When you grip the wheel and take the Malibu around town, you’ll be impressed by the car’s smooth and responsive ride quality that keeps you both comfortable and entertained when you drive, as well as the car’s estimated fuel economy of 37 mpg on the highway.
You can experience the Chevrolet Malibu Eco by coming to Gates Chevrolet of Bloomington today. Call us at (765) 792-4208 for more information, and visit our website to see our entire inventory of new cars.
The Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks share, more or less, the same platform. Find out which of these trucks is best for you by diving deeper into the features and capabilities that each new truck has to offer.
Monstrous Towing Capabilities
The base model Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and base model GMC Sierra 1500 trucks are each capable of towing up to 10,700 pounds by virtue of a 6.2L V8 engine that pushes out 417 pound-feet of torque and 403 horsepower. Upgrading to the top-of-the-line Silverado 3500 or GMC Sierra 3500 HD truck will earn you 23,100 pounds of maximum towing capability with a fifth-wheel trailer. Both trucks, for 2013, come with a brand-new grade-braking feature that increases your stability during towing, especially when you’re moving downhill with lots of weight.
Optional Hybrid
Both trucks come with the option of a 6.0L V8 hybrid engine that is able to return 20 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway, while still being able to tow over 6,000 pounds and carry a payload of more than 1,500 pounds.
Smooth Ride
As far as the ride quality of pickup trucks go, it’s shocking how comfortable the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra are. This is mostly owing to the fact that each truck is built with a stiff frame and a carefully tuned suspension and steering system. So if you hope to enjoy a truck that’s good for taking friends or family around town or on a road trip, the GMC Sierra and the Chevy Silverado are great choices.
Interior and Design
Where the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra differ is in the design. Ask any knowledgeable truck buyer and he will tell you that the prestige and style of the GMC Sierra, inside and out, is more sophisticated than the Chevrolet Silverado. Attention to detail and comfort inside the cabin will give you the feeling that you’re in command of a premium truck.
To compare the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks, come to Gates Chevrolet GMC of Bloomington. Visit us on the Web to see our inventory of new trucks, and give us a ring at (765) 792-4469 if you have any questions.
When you step into a new 2013 car with OnStar, you’ll notice that the buttons have been changed. This is to reflect new improvements made to the OnStar system—improvements that will keep you safer in your 2013 GM car or truck. If you’re considering a new car or truck, it’s worth taking the time to learn how the new OnStar system keeps you safe in a 2013 GM vehicle.
Voice Commands
What used to be a button that allowed GM car and truck drivers to make hands-free phone calls is now a general voice command button. In addition to placing and receiving phone calls, this new button gives drivers the opportunity to use voice commands to pull up a saved route, active the OnStar virtual advisor, which gives you access to how many hands-free minutes you have used, saved MapQuest directions, weather forecasts, and stock updates. The new OnStar system is fully integrated with touchscreen systems equipped on some new GM cars and trucks. For this reason, you can use the touchscreen or the rearview mirror to pull up these same service options.
Emergency Crash Response
After an accident, your 2013 GM car or truck will automatically use OnStar to connect you with an OnStar operator. The OnStar advisor will ask you if you need an ambulance—if you don’t respond, or if you respond affirmatively, the advisor will send your precise GPS location to emergency response services.
Peace of Mind
Another advantage of having OnStar in a 2013 GM car or truck is the peace of mind you’ll have from services such as Roadside Assistance and Stolen Vehicle Assistance. The former feature works by providing roadside assistance to your exact GPS location should you ever encounter car trouble, while the latter feature will provide authorities with your car’s exact GPS location if your car is ever stolen.
Explore the features of OnStar in a brand-new GM car or truck today by coming to Gates Chevrolet Buick GMC of Bloomington. Call (765) 792-4469 to get your questions answered, and check us out on our website to see our entire inventory of GM cars and trucks.
