Best Sedan: Chevy Malibu

The Chevy Malibu is a well-rounded model that can do it all. This sleek midsize sedan has been a favorite around Ooltewah and Dalton for generations, thanks to its spacious cabin and efficient turbocharged performance. New models are equipped with high-tech amenities galore, including advanced Chevy Safety Assist, so you can kick back and relax.

Shopping for a sedan on a budget? Consider a reliable used Chevy Malibu or look for a pre-owned Chevy Cruze. Though the Cruze is discontinued, it’s a great compact sedan that can handle crowded parking lots and tight roads with ease.

Best Crossover: Chevy Trax

Are you looking for a little extra space? The Chevy Trax gives drivers and passengers extra room without the bulk. This compact SUV is a staple of the Athens roads, and you might be surprised by its versatility. The 60/40 split-folding rear seats can accommodate items up to eight feet in length, and options like wireless charging and wireless phone integration mean less clutter for your cabin.

If the Chevy Trax isn’t quite spacious enough, we also recommend the Chevy Equinox. Though the Trax is one of the best affordable cars for college students, the Equinox is an award winner that will take you through college and beyond.

Best Electric: Chevy Bolt EV

Want to reduce your carbon footprint? Hop into the Chevy Bolt EV and take advantage of the hundreds of electric charging stations around Chattanooga. The Chevy Bolt EV has been dubbed “America’s Most Affordable EV” and “Best Electric Car for the Money” by U.S. News & World Report, so it’s a smart choice for your first electric car. Along with its gas-free and emissions-free performance, the Bolt EV delivers handy technology to help you stay connected on the go — including digital coaching to maximize your efficiency!
