Chevrolet Introduces myChevrolet App for Apple Watch

Chevrolet is giving its owners another option to use their myChevrolet app by making it available on Apple Watch. Chevrolet owners can now remote start and stop their vehicle, lock and unlock the doors, activate and cancel the horn and lights, locate their vehicle and receive walking directions to where it’s parked through their myChevrolet app on Apple Watch.

“The use of the myChevrolet app by our owners continues to grow across the entire vehicle lineup, so expanding its availability to Apple Watch was a natural next step and allows us to offer another easy way to manage key vehicle functions remotely,” said Paul Edwards, Chevrolet U.S. vice president of Marketing. “Whether you want to cool down your Malibu on a hot summer day or locate it after attending a crowded baseball game, Chevrolet owners can now make that choice from their iPhone or Apple Watch.”

Today, nearly 1.4 million Chevrolet owners have downloaded and use the myChevrolet app regularly. Silverado, Malibu and Equinox owners are some of the most active myChevrolet users. Malibu owners alone have used the myChevrolet app nearly 8.5 million times through the first half of 2017, a 44 percent increase over the same time last year.

“The myChevrolet app allows customers to seamlessly interact with their vehicle in a variety of ways, like checking vehicle diagnostics, sending navigation requests or locking the doors,” said John McFarland, director of GM Global Digital Experience. “As a result, customers who use the myChevrolet mobile app are some of our most loyal and satisfied Chevrolet owners.”

Remote vehicle commands were first introduced to Chevrolet owners in 2010 via the OnStar RemoteLink app. In 2016, the myChevrolet app combined with the OnStar RemoteLink app to offer customers easier mobile access to roadside assistance, parking reminders, owner’s manual content, vehicle diagnostics, Wi-Fi hotspot3 management and key fob commands such as remote start and door unlock.

The myChevrolet app for Apple Watch is now available in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. It is available in English, Spanish and French. All new Chevrolet retail models come with the OnStar Basic Plan4, which also features remote vehicle access and the AtYourService marketplace via the myChevrolet mobile app,5 among other features.

2017 Corvette Stingray

By admin in Chevrolet 0 Comment
2017 Corvette Stingray

Craftsmanship in the name of precision

Stingray is a pure driving machine, born from brilliant engineering and precision performance. Its aggressively sculpted exterior is a statement of intent; its driver-oriented cockpit is a creation of purpose.

Precision, refined

Stingray combines race-proven technology with provocative, purposeful design. Every element serves a purpose, from functional exterior vents to intelligent driver controls. Available in coupe and convertible with a host of personalization options, there’s a Stingray to satisfy any driving enthusiast.

Illuminating details

 

Stingray features brilliantly sculpted headlamps and taillamps that emanate crisp, bright color and provide optimal lighting performance.

  • Bi-Xenon HID headlamps achieve high and low beams with a single light engine
  • Edge-lit LED turn signals are framed in black chrome housing
  • our-element taillamps recede into reverse reflector for crisp, even lighting
  • High-mounted stoplamp is mounted in the aerodynamic rear spoiler


Stingray convertible

Designed from the start to be an open-top vehicle, no additional reinforcements were required for the Stingray convertible. The fully electronic drop-top can be lowered with the press of a button or remotely by using the key fob – even while driving at speeds of up to 30 mph – and hides beneath a hard, body-colored tonneau cover.

Uniquely Corvette

The available Twilight Blue, Spice Red and Jet Black Suede Design Packages take Stingray to the next level of customization, design and performance. And with a variety of available accessories, there’s a Stingray for any driver.

Ready for takeoff


Inside, you’re greeted with a flowing design made from premium, authentic materials. Intuitive instruments help you keep your focus on the road ahead. The standard Grand Touring seat and available Competition Sport seat each feature a lightweight magnesium frame for optimal support.

  • GT seat available in premium Napa leather seating surfaces with 3LT trim level
  • Competition Sport seat is built for cornering, with pronounced side bolsters
  • Unique flat-bottom steering wheel enhances the driving experience

Precise on road or track

Stingray features a light, stiff space frame for optimal 50-50 weight distribution and impressive power-to-weight ratio. With Magnetic Ride Technology and a 6.2L LT1 V8 engine with available dry-sump oil system, Stingray is a true performance sports car.

DRIVING CONFIDENCE

Electric power steering helps eliminate road shake, enhancing overall responsiveness. Standard BREMBO® brakes deliver confident stopping power while Michelin® Pilot® Super Sport Zero Pressure summer-only tires† optimize ride, grip and handling. Put simply, Stingray does exactly what you want it to do, and it does it extremely well.

SUSPENSION

Available Magnetic Selective Ride Control™ is a real-time damping system that “reads” the road every millisecond and can adjust in under 15 milliseconds. Available Performance Traction Management features five settings tailored to driving skill level and track conditions.

TRANSMISSIONS

A standard 7-speed manual transmission features a rear transaxle that enables even weight balance while the Active Rev Matching sensors simulate heel-toe shifting and enhance the driving experience by matching engine speed to the desired gear for smooth shifting transitions. The available 8-speed paddle-shift offers the smooth control of an automatic but with quick, precise shifts and manual mode for track driving.

Performance Data Recorder

The available Chevrolet Performance Data Recorder logs video of your driving sessions, along with real-time performance data, onto an SD memory card so you can analyze your technique and improve your driving abilities. And when someone else is driving the car, Valet Mode can capture video and data for additional peace of mind.

LIGHTER FRAME

One-third the weight of steel, the Stingray aluminum space frame is 100 pounds (45 kilograms) lighter than its predecessor. The weight savings make Stingray light and lean, ready to take on any road with precision.

STIFFER MATERIAL

The aluminum space frame and rails enable tailored gauge, shape and strength properties with minimal weight. In fact, the all-aluminum space frame is 57% stiffer than the previous-generation Stingray.

A Mode for Every Road

With the turn of a dial, everything changes. Five distinct, selectable driver modes electronically calibrate up to 12 performance variables to customize your Stingray for any road.

RECONFIGURABLE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER

The eight-inch diagonal LCD display features three customizable themes with varying levels of information, from G-force to redline and more.

HEAD-UP DISPLAY

This available Display projects data near your line of sight on the windshield, helping you stay informed while you focus on the road ahead.

CHEVROLET MYLINK

Corvette keeps you connected and entertained with a retractable 8-inch diagonal Chevrolet MyLink† color touch-screen. Using steering wheel controls, hand gesture recognition and voice recognition capabilities, you can talk, text and stream music without taking your hands off the wheel.

  • Talk, text and listen to music hands-free
  • Premium Bose® audio system
  • 3 USB ports to connect and charge all of your devices
  • SiriusXM† Satellite Radio with one year of service (standard on 2LT and 3LT models)
  • Drop-down center screen reveals storage area with USB† input
  • Audio input jack and Bluetooth® 3.0† wireless technology for easy streaming

Chevy Bolt EV

Every reason to drive electric

From a beautifully sculpted exterior to its impressive performance, spacious interior and advanced technologies, Bolt EV has completely reinvented what an electric vehicle can be. Want proof? Bolt EV was named Motor Trend’s 2017 Car of the Year.

Some days are long. Your range is too.

Not sure how far an EPA-estimated 238 miles† will get you? Think about it this way: The average daily commute is only about 40 miles round trip. So you’ll have more than enough range to get through an average day – and you could go up to three or four days, or even more, without needing to plug in.

REGEN ON DEMANDTM

With just a simple pull of the paddle on your steering wheel, you’re able to slow down without using the actual brake pedal. This helps convert energy into more electricity and then transfers it back to the battery.

ONE-PEDAL DRIVING

Instead of losing energy when slowing down, this feature helps you transfer energy to the battery. It works like this: When driving in Low mode at any speed, you can slow down – or even come to a complete stop – by simply lifting your foot off the accelerator. This means you may use your brakes less and help increase your range. One-Pedal Driving and deceleration features may be limited when the battery is near full charge or cold. You should always use your brake pedal if you need to stop quickly. See owner’s manual for full details on One-Pedal Driving and Regen on Demand.

ELECTRONIC PRECISION SHIFT

Allows you to easily and electronically select gears, while providing a smooth and precise response. So there’s no clunky shifter, which creates more open front passenger space.

Charging is as easy as plugging in your cell phone

The great thing about Bolt EV is you can top off your battery as much or as little as you like. Or you can simply plug in at night and by the morning it’s charged up and ready to go. Without thinking, plugging in could become a part of your daily routine.

240-VOLT/32-AMP CHARGING UNIT

ABOUT 25 MILES PER HOUR OF CHARGE TIME

  • The fastest way to recharge your battery at home (professional Installation required)
  • Offers more power than the standard 120-volt outlet
  • Can provide up to 25 miles of range per hour of charge time

DC FAST CHARGING

ABOUT 90 MILES IN AROUND 30 MINUTES OF CHARGE TIME

  • Bolt EV offers DC Fast Charging capability
  • Provides up to 90 miles of range in about 30 minutes of charge time
  • DC Fast Charging stations are available for public use

LOCATION-BASED CHARGING

CUSTOMIZE SETTINGS TO YOUR SCHEDULE

  • Program your charge settings whether you’re home or away
  • Using the GPS signal in the car, Bolt EV will know when you’re home and will activate according to your preset times. If you’re somewhere else, Bolt EV will know to charge immediately
  • Delay charging until utility rates are at their lowest, which is usually at night while you sleep

Charging right at home

Charge right at home with AeroVironment’s Level 2, 32amp EVSE-RS with a 25ft cord (professional installation required). This associated Chevrolet accessory allows you to reliably charge your Bolt EV up to five times faster than with traditional cord sets and is easy to use, elegantly designed and rated for indoor or outdoor installation.

Get going with ChargePoint

Every Bolt EV comes with a ChargePoint card in your glove box, which allows access to thousands of public charging stations. Just activate your card, scan, swipe and go.

It all starts with the battery

A nickel-rich lithium-ion battery technology makes it possible to enjoy Bolt EV for a very long time. Here’s how: The battery chemistry enhances heat resistance, allowing the battery to tolerate heat before using power to cool it down. And an active thermal management system helps manage the battery temperature in extremely hot and cold weather conditions.

All eyes over here



A crossover design from the inside out, Bolt EV is a natural head turner, with beautifully sculpted proportions and eye-catching details. You may have to look again before you even notice it’s an all-electric vehicle.

LT

  • Electronic precision shift
  • Michelin® self-sealing tires
  • 10.2-inch diagonal color touch-screen
  • Rear vision camera

PREMIER

Includes LT features plus:

  • Rear Camera Mirror
  • Surround Vision
  • Leather-wrapped heated steering wheel

Upload all you want

With 56.6 cu. ft. of cargo space, Bolt EV is engineered to provide more room than you’d expect in an electric vehicle. So when it comes to more usable room for your stuff, you have the flexibility to carry larger, oddly shaped items.

Many safety features, only one you.

Bolt EV has the technology available to help make your driving safer, including a number of ingenious radar- and camera-based systems for protection on all sides.

SURROUND VISION

As a Chevy first, this available feature uses four strategically placed cameras to create a virtual bird’s-eye view of the vehicle. While maneuvering at low speed, all camera viewpoints seamlessly merge to transmit a clear side-by-side digital image to the large 10.2-inch diagonal screen, helping you to see both the area behind and around you. Just by looking at one screen, you get twice the view.

New 2017 Chevrolet Camaro

New 2017 Chevrolet Camaro

A new era in performance

In 1966, Chevrolet introduced the world to Camaro and a love affair was born. Now, after 50 years of pushing the envelope, advanced performance technology, meticulous design and engineering mastery come together in the sixth-generation Camaro. With refinements that can be seen in every sculpted body line, felt in every turn, and heard in the roar of the four available powertrains, the sixth-generation Camaro will help you become one with the road.

Sculpted to perfection

Built around a smaller, lighter architecture than the previous generation, the 2017 Camaro sports car takes full advantage of its tighter proportions with more responsive braking, better attack in and out of corners, and more nimble performance.

The smaller, more athletic sixth-generation Camaro also features a fastback profile and more pronounced quarter panels, creating a road presence that’s hard to ignore.

Tested and perfected

From the wider opening and precise draft angle of the grille, to the roof’s striking “reverse Mohawk” channel, to the available lift-reducing stanchion spoiler, the design of every surface and edge was scrutinized during extensive wind tunnel testing until it helped improve airflow and performance.

Drivers, take your seat

Premium materials. Rich textures. Tailored stitching. Refinement comes standard inside a cockpit optimized for performance driving. The sharpened styling of this sports car includes:

  • Rotating HVAC dials that replace extra dash buttons for quicker, intuitive climate control
  • A center console layout with dual cup holders and ample storage yet exceptional ergonomics for shifting
  • The leather-wrapped (available heated) flat-bottom steering wheel that allows extra room for knees during maneuvers
  • An available 8-inch touch-screen radio
  • An available reconfigurable instrument cluster that displays key performance and vehicle info
  • Seating with aggressive bolsters and available heating/ventilation that boosts comfort and provides support when experiencing g forces

Interior spectrum lighting

Available on Camaro 2LT and standard on Camaro 2SS, interior spectrum lighting lets drivers select one of 24 colors to course around the radio, door trim and cup holders, giving off an ambient glow. The color spectrum reacts to changes in drive mode, or you can select “show mode” to trigger a pulsing, full-color light show

Open roads, meet open sky

The Camaro Convertible offers the same roof line as the Camaro Coupe with a fully automatic soft-top that seamlessly disappears beneath the hard tonneau cover with the push of a single button – even at speeds up to 30 mph. And with modular underbody bracing, you’ll experience the same sharp, nimble handling as the Coupe.
