What Drives Helotes

What do suburbanites gravitate towards when choosing a vehicle? The obvious answer is a Suburban, right? Not so simple. Helotes is one of the best places to live in Texas and shares in the truck love you would expect from anywhere in the Lone Star State, but residents also veer off the path into luxury cars and SUVs. As your Helotes Chevy dealer, we have seen customers looking through the whole gamut of what Chevy has to offer. If you’re lucky enough to live in this cozy community, you know a diverse range of people share this warm and welcoming family community of hard-working teachers, healthcare workers, business people, and artists. Whether you need to haul stuff, commute, carpool to work, or show off to family and friends at a tailgate party, in the sea of cars, trucks, and SUVs, the world is your oyster, and North Park Chevrolet is the place to cast your line to land the best models for every Helotes driver.

Texas Truck Love

Starting with the obvious, Texas is and always will be the land of truck obsession. After all, trucks are the perfect multi-use vehicle and have become so popular that as of 2020, they were the top-selling vehicle option in 48 out of 50 states in the U.S. Of course, Texas-proud residents have a percentage of truck-only locals who won’t even consider anything else, and that’s ok. At North Park Chevrolet, our selection of the top-selling new and used pickups is endless. With some of the most advanced features you’ve ever seen in a truck, you really can’t go wrong with any option from Chevy, but the one leading the pack as the most Texas-worthy for a Helotes driver to consider is the Chevy Silverado.

Helotes residents expect big power from their trucks and the 2022 Chevy Silverado delivers. If you are a fan of the classic Silverado style and power, then a 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 Limited will be the truck for you. However, if you are a fan of having the latest and greatest, the regular 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 should be the one you ask us to show you when you stop by. Either way, you can find one of these models that is able to tow up to 13,300 lbs or able to produce 420 horsepower. If you’re looking for a truck that can take on your workload, double as a reliable, stylish ride and meet a commuter-friendly budget, the Silverado is your match. When you visit our showroom and test drive this remarkable testament to the pickup truck legacy, you will understand for yourself.

New Texan transplants who haven’t acclimated to the Texas way of trucking need not worry. If you’ve never driven a truck, there is a noticeable handling difference from a coupe or sedan, and it can be very intimidating to have this much size and power in your hands. If easing into getting your Texas on is more your style, we got you covered. The Chevy Colorado is a great first-time truck and is Chevy’s top diesel option. The Colorado carries the classic Chevy profile but is a more manageable midsize design.

The base 2022 model has a lower towing capacity of 3,500 pounds with the 2.5L I-4 engine but can be ramped up to 7,700 pounds with the available 2.8L Duramax turbo-diesel engine. One of the best things about Chevy is the versatility in the models it produces, so whether you are a big truck lover or just dipping your toes into the market, you can tackle all of your city travel and weekend fun in a Colorado or Silverado. In the sea of truck choices, you’re sure to sail out with the best Texas truck vibe you can get.

Purchase Power Players

A more manageable option for handling the tighter city streets of Helotes than a big truck, SUVs have all the bases covered. Ranging in size from subcompact, compact, midsize, and full-size, it’s impossible not to find one that fits you to a tee. These Chevys are roomy enough to be a homeowner’s right hand and tote the whole family and their gear, yet super comfy and handle like a dream. The range and needs of people thinking about SUVs are also varied. From the single commuter or young growing family to the inexperienced new driver and seasoned professional, the needs and price point will vary. Staying in the midsize range meets all categories, and the winner of this race would be the Traverse.

Most people in the market for an SUV are looking for an all-around everyday affordable vehicle that ticks all the boxes for family road trips, home supply center gardening hauls, rush hour workdays, and long Sunday adventures or park picnics. Helotes consumers are no different. The Traverse’s three rows of seating accommodate up to seven or eight passengers. The 2022 Chevy Traverse comes with a 3.6L V6 engine that has the ability to tow up to 5,000 pounds, which is more than enough power for the needs of suburbanites. You can also go wild with luxury upgrades like leather instead of cloth interiors, 18-inch bright silver wheels, and a loaded driver information center that gets you into a true luxury car at a much lower overall cost.

Teen Driver settings are a standard feature in the 2022 Traverse. This intuitive driving coach limits distractions and provides safety reminders that are a great way to instill driving habits easily. The Buckle to Drive feature prevents shifting until belts are secured, reducing massive amounts of parental pacing and hand wringing. Best of all, Teen Driver produces a report card of performance ratings for speeding occurrences, distance driven, and automatic braking events that highlight what areas they fall short in and offer the opportunity to address them with your kids and get them up to speed.

Rebel Rousers

Trends in auto sales heavily fueled by trucks and SUVs are quickly replacing affordable sedan options, but there is still a section of drivers, especially those living in an area like Helotes, that love a good sedan. Chevy’s only sedan option in the lineup today is the Chevy Malibu. A modest yet comfortable sedan with an exceptionally low base price is perfect for commuters, teens, and small families.

The 2022 Chevy Malibu has a 1.5L or 2.0L turbocharged engine with ample horsepower, torque, and speed. The interior is comfortable yet spacious, and it’s a great-looking car that is sleek in design and full of modern add-ons at an additional cost. Take out a Malibu RS in Cherry Red Tintcoat and really give Helotes something to talk about! Sedans may be fading into the shade cast by SUVs, but for now, the Malibu still has a place in the sun.

Maybe you’re more inclined to flex your muscle car mojo by treating yourself to a fun, sporty Camaro. They’re pretty hard to ignore. While affordable coupe options are dwindling each year, Chevy’s revival of the Camaro in 2010 turned back time to an era when cars were as unique as their owners, and every single make was noticeably distinctive and dynamic. There are still many old and new car enthusiasts who appreciate the edgy sports car’s growl and power.
