Check out some of the significant updates, improvements, and redesigns coming to the Chevy lineup in 2019

At Marchant Chevrolet, we're always keeping our finger close on the pulse of Chevy news so that we can keep our Charleston customers up to date on what's to come. And with the 2019 Chevy lineup getting ready to roll out across the nation, we've taken the liberty of putting together a quick sneak peek of the features, performance refinements, and safety technologies to come, so that you can do your due diligence and find the best new Chevy to suit your needs.

The big news that should be on every Chevy fan's radar these days is that the Chevy Silverado 1500 is undergoing a full redesign for its 2019 model year. This full-size pickup truck is a standard bearer for its segment, and Chevy faced some big challenges when it came to maintaining its athletic attitude and characteristic capabilities while improving on customer feedback. So, how did the Chevy brand's truck engineers do, you might ask?

  • Well for one thing, the 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 is longer in both wheelbase and overall length than its previous generation, increasing cab space and cargo capacity. But even with its increased dimensions, it's actually up to 450 pounds lighter than its previous iteration thanks to smart usage of mixed production materials, affording it a better power-to-weight ratio and improving its driving dynamics overall.
  • The 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 has a new Durabed that boasts best-in-class cargo volume, achieved by increasing the width of its load floor. This will prove exceptionally useful for contractors and folks who love to tackle home improvement projects here in Charleston, as the increased width of the bed floor allows you to accommodate wider items like plywood sheets and large stone tiles.
  • Like its size, payload and towing rating have also increased across the board with the 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500, so if you'd looking for a truck that can tow your boat out to the Remley's Point boat landing and back with ease, you'll find it's exceptionally capable.
  • The 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 is more capable than ever before when it comes to driving on uneven terrain thanks to its newly available Drive Mode Selector system and Autotrac automatic four-wheel drive system.
  • With four new powertrain configurations, including the all-new Duramax 3.0-liter I-6 turbo-diesel engine, the 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 is easily outfitted to suit your daily driving style. Whether you're towing and hauling for work on a daily basis or just need something competitively efficient and reliable for daily driving around the Charleston, SC metro area, the 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 is almost certain to have a powertrain configuration to suit your needs. In fact, with the Dynamic Fuel Management system, the 2019 Chevy Silverado can use its cylinder deactivation capability on some powertrain configurations to maximize its fuel economy returns, making it a truly powerful and efficient vehicle.
  • New tech features heavily in the 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500, including safety technologies like an available HD Rear Vision Camera, Rear Camera Mirror, and HD Surround Vision System. In addition, the Chevy MyLink infotainment systems available on the 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 have been updated, increasing their response times, functionality, and ease-of-use.
  • New trims are coming to the 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500, including the 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 Custom Trail Boss, 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT Trail Boss, and 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 RST. The Custom Trail Boss and LT Trail Boss are outfitted for off-road driving with a factory-installed 2-inch suspension lift and features from the Z71 Off-Road Package, while the RST is a street truck with striking exterior accents that are certain to turn heads as you cruise through downtown Charleston.

A fast favorite of urban commuters here in Charleston, the Chevy Trax is great for everything from zipping around the College of Charleston campus to picking up fresh produce at the Pacifica Box & Crate Farmer's Market. And given its popularity, you'll be happy to learn that not much has changed with this outstanding compact crossover, save for the addition of a few new paint color options.

  • Pacific Blue Metallic
  • Dark Copper Metalic
  • Satin Steel Metallic

True to its name, the 2019 Chevy Traverse is a great way for growing families to traverse the Charleston, SC metro area. With three-rows of space and seating for up to eight when properly equipped, the 2019 Chevy Traverse is great for everything from picking up your kids from school at Orange Grove Elementary to loading up with cookout supplies for a family barbecue. Having recently undergone some significant updates in previous model years, the 2019 Chevy Traverse hasn't changed much this year, but there are some key new features that we're certain Charleston, SC drivers will appreciate.

  • A new LT Premium Package is available on the 2019 Chevy Traverse LT Leather and standard on the 2019 Chevy Traverse RS. It includes a Surround Vision system and a Rear Camera Mirror that makes it easier to maneuver in and out of parallel parking spaces, 20-inch aluminum wheels, and an upgraded 8-inch Chevy MyLink infotainment system with navigation, Bose sound system, and a 110-volt household style outlet.
  • An automatic heated steering wheel is now standard on the 2019 Chevy Traverse Premier and 2019 Chevy Traverse High Country
  • The 2019 Chevy Traverse RS AWD now comes with a Kmore powerful 3.6-liter V6 engine, allowing it to tow up to 5,000 pounds, making it the ideal SUV for folks with jet-skis and small boats.
  • Looking to stand out from the crowd on your next visit to The Citadel Mall? Opt for the newly available Lights and Bright Package on the 2019 Chevy Equinox 1LT trim to enjoy attractive exterior accents like 19-inch bright-machined wheels, LED headlights and taillights, a chrome-accented front grille, and even molded side-assist steps.
  • New packages like the LS Convenience Package and LT Appearance Package add further degrees of customization and personalization to the 20 19 Chevy Equinox.
