2012 & 2011 Chevrolet SUV Reviews & Ratings

A Chevrolet SUV comes from a company that is dedicated to providing the quality and the value that consumers need. A long standing car company like Chevrolet backs up its word with reliable products. Since 1911 this manufacturer has been providing consumers with vehicles that are affordable and durable.

The Chevrolet SUV line includes the well known Suburban and Tahoe. Each has its own unique qualities that set it apart from the rest of the crowd and provide you with a sound vehicle. The Traverse, Blazer, and Equinox are popular as well, and have been known for their overall consumer quality. The Tracker and original Trailblazer were reasonable vehicles that didn't quite live up to Chevrolet's expectations, and the Trailblazer received an entirely new outfitting and overhaul.

The Equinox is the Chevrolet SUV that joins in the midsize crossover segment. Like other crossovers, the designers at Chevrolet continue to add just a little bulk to the vehicle with every generation. This is acknowledging the trend of the bigger midsize crossover. Based on a car platform the fuel efficiency and the handling are much more like driving a fun car than a large and unwieldy SUV. An improvement in the overall styling and performance has grabbed the attention of many critics. The entry level $23000 base price is reasonable for most families and can provide a very strong argument for value.

The six speed automatic transmission, 2.4 liter four cylinder, 182 horsepower engine gives it a firm feel behind the wheel. The interior is much improved over earlier models, complete with fine tuned styling and a quiet ride. While you can choose any Chevrolet SUV the top pick for 2012 is the Chevy Equinox.

The Suburban has been the flagship of the Chevrolet SUV fleet since 1936. Still produced today, Chevy Suburban still attracts the large SUV fan base. Base priced at $41000, the Suburban comes in a light duty and a heavy duty version to provide just the right combination of capabilities and potential that makes it family and work friendly. The 6.0 V8 provides ample power, and the variable tuned suspension gives it a good ride regardless of what you use it for.

The Tahoe is the Chevrolet SUV that seats nine passengers and pushes through with its V8 engine. Perhaps the biggest downfall of the Tahoe is also one of its bigger assets. This is an SUV that is among the largest out there. It offers maneuverability and handling that is much better than other full size sport utility vehicles, but it not easily parked in average spaces or when parallel parking it required. Improvements to the Tahoe on a regular basis have made this a Chevrolet SUV that retains its high popularity. Base priced at just over $38000 it is high quality family travel with cavernous cargo room and higher than average towing capacity.

If you are looking for a new or used Chevrolet SUV there are certainly plenty to choose from. With such a longstanding history and a dedication to quality, Chevy continues to produce the vehicles that get large families around and help smaller families break away for long holidays.
