Three Options for the Perfect Pre-Owned Chevy SUV

If you’re looking for a used Chevy dealer near Hopkinsville, then you need look no more! We here at Newton Chevrolet of Russellville have a fantastic selection of used Chevys that will let you dominate the roads no matter your lifestyle.

We’d like to walk you through three of Chevy’s SUVs so that, when you come down to our showroom, you already have an idea of which model will work best for you and your family. We don’t believe that one is necessarily better than the other because they all serve different types of drivers; there’s no one-size-fits-all solution, so we want to explore enough options to help you determine which model could be the perfect fit for you.

Our lot is packed with quality used vehicles. We are big believers in repurposing Chevys that still have a lot of life left to give, although we certainly have new versions of these SUVs, too. Thanks to their well-built structure, these autos last a very long time and can deliver outstanding performance for years to come. Better yet, when one of these is bought pre-owned, you get it at a far more economical price despite the fact that it can likely compete with a rival’s new model! That’s the benefit of the bowtie brand.

Whether you decide to buy used or new, Newton Chevrolet of Russellville is the place to visit as we live and breathe everything Chevy.

The Trailblazer: The Commuter’s SUV

The Trailblazer is a subcompact crossover SUV that’s perfect for those of you commuting to work or driving the kids to school every day. If you’re driving from Hopkinsville to Russellville each day on Route 68, then this peppy crossover is for you. If you have a child driving to Western Kentucky University regularly, then this is the SUV to cosign with them. It’s an everyday vehicle—one that makes safety a priority and aims to provide solid acceleration and fuel efficiency while remaining affordable.

The Trailblazer has long been known for its sporty look, too, as it has a sleek, aerodynamic front with narrow headlights and an aggressive grille. So far, each model of the Trailblazer has had this same fun vibe that makes it a social vehicle, one that’s comfortable bringing its driver and passengers to nightlife locales or simply impressing everyone at the office.

Trailblazers also have available all-wheel drive for those who want better command of the road, especially for those times like when a summer storm makes the roads slicker than desired. Many models have ventilated seats available, which will help you feel cool during the hot and humid months.

Each year’s Trailblazer model comes in a large swathe of colors, ranging from bright yellow to darker gray tones. No matter the aesthetic you want for your vehicle, there’ll be a Trailblazer waiting and ready to match it. You’re guaranteed to look stylish wherever you venture.

The Equinox: Hauling Families in Style

The Chevy Equinox has long been one of Chevy’s most successful SUVs. It debuted in 2003—right at the height of the SUV craze—and has since solidified itself as one of America’s most cherished vehicles. We’d even argue it epitomizes what the SUV segment is best at. Recently, Chevy introduced an EV version of the Equinox to ensure that this classic has a long future ahead of it.

The Equinox is known for being a family vehicle, and families across Kentucky have come to us and found themselves thrilled with what it provides them. Parents will get a lot out of it—particularly its spacious seating for five, which makes long trips fun instead of a burden, with the kids complaining about being uncomfortable.

Helping to keep journeys enjoyable is a cutting-edge infotainment system. The Equinox has long led the pack regarding infotainment and intuitive touchscreens that you can connect your phone to to enjoy podcasts and music playlists. As a bonus, many trims come with a sunroof that can make your rides more refreshing, letting in natural sunlight, and more majestic at night since your passengers can gaze up at the stars.

The interior of the Equinox is designed to maximize storage space. It’s not just the rear area that gives you this room, either; Equinoxes come with smartly placed hidden storage under the rear floor, so you can truly use every cubic inch of spare room your SUV boasts.

This SUV comes with Chevy Safety Assist, too, so you can sleep well knowing your family sits in a safe and secure vehicle that has protection in mind. It’s also a solid ride, giving you responsive acceleration and smooth sailing down I-65. You’ll feel like you’re gliding, as there is no sluggish sensation or a feeling that your ride struggles to keep pace with other Kentucky drivers. For families, the Equinox has repeatedly proven itself to be a stellar purchase.

The Blazer: Adept for Adventurers

If Kentucky’s wilderness calls to you, then the Blazer will be the SUV for you. If you want to camp in the Land Between Two Lakes or tow a small boat to the water itself, the Blazer will stand ready to serve you. This Chevy SUV can tow a few thousand pounds (or more on upper trims), so it’s great for those who like the outdoors and want to spend significant time in them.

The Blazer is the most muscular and intimidating of the three SUVs we’ve discussed so far, and it matches well with someone who wants to live a more rugged, athletic lifestyle. While it’s more than capable of ferrying the family around Hopkinsville, what it really wants to do is bring everyone out to the Hoosier or Daniel Boone National Forest. Even a trip east to more mountainous terrain is not out of the question—the Blazer thirsts for adventure.

There’s more than enough storage space, too. If you’re packing aboard some golf clubs to visit the Hopkinsville Golf and Country Club, or if you’re loading up suitcases for an interstate trek, the Blazer’s rear area will have plenty of volume for you. The sliding rear seats can also be adjusted to give you plenty of extra room.

With a nine-speed automatic transmission on most models, the Blazer positively commands the road. Its taste for adventure means it comes with a powerful engine that will grant you quick acceleration, preventing you from getting stuck on the highway entrance when you have to enter the freeway. Its all-wheel drive will assist you when the terrain turns rough during outbacking adventures. Your front-wheel drive will come with various driving modes on most models, too, so that you have excellent command no matter the road conditions. And if you’re not an adventurer? Well, we’d bet the Blazer will turn you into one.

There’s a Chevy SUV Waiting for You

All Hopkinsville drivers can get their driving life upgraded by purchasing a used Chevy. Whether you’re commuting to Lexington or driving out to our parks and camping sites, you’ll do it better in a used Chevy SUV. Thanks to Chevy’s perfect touch, an older model will still serve you well and last for a long time at a fraction of the cost of a new purchase. Come visit us and let our customer service experts put you in the SUV that’ll make life less stressful and more fulfilling.
