Winter - Chevrolet Is Winter Strong

Today's line-up of Chevy vehicles include cars, trucks, vans, sport utility vehicles, and crossovers, and every model combines Chevy's long-standing tradition of excellent craftsmanship with some of the most cutting-edge technology available. Because having a vehicle that performs well in every type of weather is incredibly important, Chevy makes sure that each and every one of their vehicles is fully equipped to tackle even the harshest winter.

Take, for instance, the Chevy Volt. The Chevy Volt is an electric vehicle that combines an electric battery with an on board gas generator. Cold weather presents different challenges for electric vehicles than it poses for traditional gas-powered ones, and Chevy tackled those challenges head-on. When the mercury dips below freezing, the Volt's engine will automatically cycle on and off. This warms the coolant, and the thermal energy is used to heat up the cabin, keeping passengers comfortable even during the coldest of temperatures.

Many of the SUV, truck, and crossover models in Chevy's line-up are available with All Wheel Drive. Vehicles with AWD give drivers greater control and safety in icy or snowy road conditions. Virtually all of the Chevrolet vehicles also come standard with 4-wheel anti-lock brakes. Sensors automatically detect wheel locks when the brakes are applied, and the brakes will quickly release pressure, then return the pressure to normal. Having an all-wheel ABS system can prevent the driver from skidding and losing control. Also standard on virtually all Chevy vehicles is an electronic stability control system. If the vehicle detects that the driver has lost control, the ESC kicks in and will apply each individual brake to help steer the vehicle in the right direction. The traction control system that also comes standard can intervene and enhance driver control in dangerous conditions.

As you can see, Chevrolet strives to implement some of the most cutting-edge safety technologies in their vehicles. Even when driving in less than ideal circumstances, Chevy owners can rest assured that their vehicles were designed with safety in mind. Even the most brutal winters are no match for the Chevy engineers.
