Chevy has two new awards to boast about in 2010. Both the Chevy Traverse and the Chevy Silverado were named two of Consumer Reports’ Top Picks this year. Consumer Reports rates automobiles on safety, reliability, and performance and both these Chevy automobiles have earned top marks in these categories. Kansas City Chevy Traverse dealerships are pleased with these automobiles’ debut at the top of Consumer Reports’ list.

Consumer Reports named the Chevy Traverse as one of the Top Picks of 2010 due to its luxury and utility. It is a full size four door SUV capable of 16 miles per gallon overall fuel economy. This model is reasonably priced starting around $39,920 and can fit an impressive eight adults with cargo room to spare. The Chevy Traverse is very safe, with notably efficient steering as well as handling abilities. As reported by dealerships in Kansas City, the Chevy Equinox is a smaller relative of the Chevy Traverse. Families looking for the quality of a Traverse in a more compact form may be more interested in the Equinox model.

The Chevy Silverado 1500 also earned Consumer Reports’ prestigious Top Pick award this year. The Silverado is seen by Consumer Reports as the Top Pick for Pickup Trucks in 2010. Not only is the Silverado capable of handling tough terrain with the available feature of full-time four wheel drive, but it is also comfortable with a quality interior finish. It is a full sized pickup truck available in a two door cab model, a three door extended cab, four door extended cab or a four door crew cab. The Silverado is built to work but it is also incredibly safe featuring StabiliTrak and side curtain airbags. The Chevy Silverado 1500 is priced at $37,235.

This year’s Consumer Reports’ Top Pick results reaffirm that Chevrolet is a quality automaker. Chevy has created two automobiles, the Chevy Traverse and Silverado, that have been declared as the top of their categories. These two automobiles are safe and offer more to customers than simply transporting them from point A to point B.
