The following is a summary of each nameplate: The Trax The Chevrolet Trax was initially introduced in 2015 in the US but went on hiatus in 2019. Its reincarnation in 2022 introduced a leaner, more modern, and bigger version than before. Today’s Trax is an excellent choice when commuting into San Antonio, offering you the choice of five trim levels and room for five. It also features an easy-to-use dash with a seamless connection to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as available wireless charging, up to 54.1 cu.ft. of cargo space, and a 1.2L Turbo engine that gives you up to 30 MPG combined. The Trax is a great option for individuals, those who commute to and from work, and younger drivers. The Trailblazer The Trailblazer gives you the perfect blend of convenience and comfort for everyday driving and adventure, especially when you choose the ACTIV trim. The Trailblazer also gives you generous cargo space, with 8.5 feet of cargo length thanks to the standard fold-flat passenger seat—and for those wanting easy unloading and loading of cargo, there’s a hands-free liftgate. Like the Trax, it has seating for five and offers a variety of trim options. Additionally, you’ll find advanced technology features like available wireless charging, a standard 11.0-inch touchscreen that gives you access to your favorite apps, and a standard push-button start. As mentioned, the Trailblazer is a great option for the everyday driver, but its three drive modes and available all-wheel drive also make it an excellent choice for adventure, such as a day of hiking at Converse City Park Walking Trail or a night under the stars, thanks to its 1,000-lb towing capacity, which is perfect for a travel trailer. The Equinox The Equinox has been in the Chevrolet lineup since the 2005 model year. It offers generous leg and headroom, as well as cushioned seating and a thoughtful interior that caters to longer trips and family driving. It also has an available Switchable All-Wheel Drive, which not only makes driving around Converse easier but also improves fuel efficiency. Even better? The Chevrolet Equinox was named #1 in "New Vehicle Quality" by JD Power for the second year in a row in 2023. Plus, available features like the hands-free power liftgate and the panoramic sunroof make the Equinox feel luxurious. That’s not all. Families, DIYers, and those who love spending the day at Garden Ridge Market Days will love the 63.9 cu.ft. of cargo space and the hidden storage compartment under the rear cargo floor. Finally, the Equinox can be found in an electric version if saving more money at the pump is a priority. The Blazer Like the Equinox, the Blazer is offered in both gas-powered and electric versions. The Blazer also gives you the chance to shift easily from highway driving to the road less taken, especially when choosing the RS trim, which gives you an available Twin-Clutch Advanced All-Wheel Drive System and up to five drive modes. It’s the exterior of the Blazer, however, that makes Converse drivers stop for a second look. Whether you choose a Blazer with a two-toned roof or the Midnight/Sport Edition with its black accents and 18-inch high-gloss black-painted aluminum wheels. That’s not to say that the interior doesn’t hold its own, offering you and your passengers thoughtful styling, cushioned seating, an intuitive dash, and access to your favorite apps. Plus, the standard sliding rear seats make it easy to increase the cargo space if needed—and speaking of, you'll get up to 64.2 cu.ft., which is perfect for hiking equipment, groceries, or soccer gear. Like the Equinox, the Blazer is a great option for everyday drivers who want an SUV that shifts easily from work to play and looks good every step of the way. The Traverse The Traverse is the first of three larger Chevrolet SUVs. It’s a great option if you need more seating capacity, as it offers seating up to eight, but it also provides you with best-in-class cargo volume with 98.2 cu.ft. of available space when the seats are folded down. The Traverse also gives you the chance to personalize the exterior with your choice of the Midnight Edition, Sport Edition, RS, and Redline Edition. Our team can walk you through each of these and how they might make your daily drive better. On the tech side, the Traverse offers available Alexa Built-In, in-vehicle apps, USB charging ports in every row, available navigation through the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Plus System, and more. Essentially, the Traverse is a fantastic choice if you have a larger family, regularly transport a large number of people, or simply want more space and a well-connected ride. The Tahoe Speaking of technology, you’ll find it in spades when choosing the Chevy Tahoe. For instance, the Tahoe gives you up to 13 camera views, which is significant if you’re taking advantage of its ability to tow up to 8,400 lbs. Additionally, you’ll find a smooth ride and responsive handling thanks to the Tahoe’s Magnetic Ride Control and a first-in-class Four-Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension system. This means that the Tahoe adjusts to you and your needs, optimizing ride height to provide you with more ground clearance at Green Lake RV Resort or lowering your ride height for better aerodynamics. The Tahoe also gives you three dynamic engine options, all of which provide you with the power you need to tackle any task, and you’ll gain confidence when towing the camper or boat with an available Advanced Trailering System. Finally, your passengers will love the available rear-seat media system, and you’ll love the available 12.0-inch Driver Information System that keeps you in the know during the drive. The Suburban Last but not least, you’ll find Chevy’s very first SUV—the Suburban—which offers the most room for passengers and cargo, with a seating capacity of up to nine people and a best-in-class cargo space of up to 144.7 cu.ft. Plus, it was named the "Best Large SUV for Families" in 2023.
