GM Will Offer Smartphone Wireless Charging in 2014 Cars

BAY CITY, Mich. - With the amount of technology that drivers carry around with them, and the systems available in cars, it can seem like your car is packed with wires. That's why GM will now offer Smartphone wireless charging in 2014 cars. Designed with your comfort in mind, these wireless charging stations will help reduce the clutter inside your Chevy vehicle.

Instead of using the cables and plugs required to charge your Smartphone, some 2014 Chevy vehicles will now come with a Powermat surface - the 2014 Chevy Volt being one of them. This surface draws electricity, allowing you to place your Smartphone on the mat to charge it. GM will be the first carmaker to build the technology into its vehicles.

In order for the phone to work with the Powermat surface, it must be capable of recharging. This capability comes from either built-in technology, or the use of a case that will allow it to recharge. As Powermat surfaces become more popular, more phones will be released that are recharging compatible.

GM will offer Smartphone wireless charging in 2014 cars, but only a select few. If you'd like to discuss which vehicles come with this technology, or how you can have it installed in your current vehicle, stop by our Caro Area Chevrolet Dealer today! We have a large selection of New Chevrolet Cars and New Chevrolet Trucks - all with great technology that we know you'll love.

3-Cylinder Engine Ready for 2016 Chevy Volt

BAY CITY, Mich. - It has been discussed that the Chevy Volt will be undergoing major changes in the next year or two, resulting in a completely redesigned vehicle - both inside and out. Now it is rumored that a 3-cylinder engine is ready for the 2016 Chevy Volt.

Under the aerodynamic hood, a 3-cylinder engine is expected to replace the current 1.4-liter, 4-cylinder engine; this will give it a 31 horsepower increase, bumping it up to 115hp and 122 lb-ft of torque. The 3-cylinder will also extend the range of the electric car by 20 percent - this is made possible by making the car lighter. This 3-cylinder will be all-aluminum and turbocharged, and will also be the engine that powers the Opel Adam in 2014.

An upgraded engine won't be the only new thing that happens to the Volt, as it is expected to be completely redesigned. This redesign will be the first time the vehicle has undergone major changes since it's first release. GM has also announced that they hope to cut $10,000 from the Volt's current $39,145 price. They are already halfway there with this goal, as $5,000 has been dropped from the 2014 Chevy Volt.

While you'll have to wait for the 3-cylinder engine to be ready for the 2016 Chevy Volt, we do have the 2014 model ready for your inspection. This vehicle is both attractive and fuel efficient, so take the time to stop by our Caro Area Chevrolet Dealer and check it out! We also have a great selection of New Chevrolet Cars and Used Chevy Cars For Sale - all available for you to look at and test drive. So stop by today and let us help you into a vehicle that you'll love!

2014 Chevy Volt Gets $5,000 Price Cut

BAY CITY, Mich. - General Motors has recently announced that the 2014 Chevy Volt will get a $5,000 price cut. Expected to arrive on dealer's lots this month, the price drop is meant to encourage drivers to consider driving electric vehicles.

The 2014 Chevy Volt is perfect for drivers that like to use vehicle electrification on their daily commute, but also want the option to travel longer distances. Basically, you get the electric, eco-friendly drive without the anxiety of exceeding your range. It is a gas-electric hybrid that gets an average of 900 miles to a tank, which is calculated to save you about $6,850 on gas over the course of
5 years.

The 2014 Chevy Volt's $5,000 price cut brings the sticker price down to $34,995 - when you add in the federal tax credit of $7,500, the 2014 Volt goes for a competitive $27,495. The intention of this price cut is simply to draw new consumers to the electric vehicle market.
