Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant founded Chevrolet in 1911, making it one of the longest-running automotive brands in American history. In 1918, they joined General Motors, further cementing a durable collaboration for drivers to depend on. At LaFontaine Chevrolet Buick GMC of St. Clair, we proudly support the brand as your local Chevy dealer and have for the past 40 years. Chevrolet's success, both from the beginning and now, is greatly influenced by its dedication to dependability and innovation, with an emphasis on producing high-quality cars that also keep drivers safe. Chevy has not only been successful in their endeavors, but the brand has evolved into a representation of American automotive innovation and industry prowess during the course of its long history.

With models like the Chevrolet Bel Air and the advent of the small-block V8 engine—which would go on to become a mainstay of American muscle cars—the brand's effect continued to rise in the 1950s when the Camaro and Corvette became household names. Since then, Chevy has added a variety of vehicles to its roster, ranging from trucks and SUVs to electric vehicles. The company has persevered despite obstacles and shifts in the automotive sector, becoming a stable force in the industry in the quest for excellence in transportation. Our continued pride in this brand is what drives us to be your top Chevy dealer, ensuring you have a vast inventory to choose from and a dedicated team to help you determine which Chevy is best for you.

A Look at the Chevrolet Lineup

There are many models in the Chevy lineup, allowing the brand to appeal to a variety of drivers. In this section, we will outline a few of the top models, including the Chevy Silverado, Equinox, and Suburban.

The Chevy Silverado

The Chevy Silverado is one of the most recognizable and durable pickup trucks in the country for many reasons. Whether you need a dependable workhorse for activities related to your job or a versatile vehicle for daily use, the Silverado answers the call. As such, it offers a variety of styles and trims, ranging from light-duty to heavy-duty, along with your choice of bed lengths and cab configurations. In addition, you can customize the Silverado with a number of packages that improve trailering, comfort, and technology.

The Silverado also offers numerous engine options that give you the confidence and strength you need to tow the camper to Thousand Trails or the boat to Lake Saint Clair. In addition, it meets and exceeds expectations when connecting drivers between point A and point B with the latest advances in technology and an easy-to-use infotainment system. Also, while you might think trucks are great for hauling but not for comfort, we invite you to slide into today's Silverado. The brand's shift toward creating vehicles that all drivers can enjoy has provided the truck with generous leg and headroom, a comfortable interior, and an intuitive design that feels good driving down the road.

The Chevy Equinox

The demands placed on today's drivers have never been higher, thanks to our varied lifestyles. These lifestyles require a car that can adjust from daily commutes to family road trips and everything in between. The Chevy Equinox is one such adaptable option for drivers, giving them a dependable, cozy, and technologically advanced car. In addition, the Equinox boasts a fuel-efficient engine that doesn't sacrifice power. Whether you're preparing for a weekend excursion or your regular commute, the Equinox can help.

Not only does the Equinox give you solid power and fuel efficiency, but it also provides a spacious and adaptable interior, giving you room for the whole family or the cargo space you need when running errands. At the same time, it offers the ideal balance of luxury and flair, with available amenities like heated seats, a panoramic sunroof, and optional leather upholstery.

Modern cars are expected to have state-of-the-art technology, and the Equinox delivers. With Chevrolet's user-friendly infotainment system, connecting your smartphone is a breeze, and you can easily access navigation and manage your favorite apps, depending on the trim. However, access to technology isn't the only thing that today's drivers are focused on. Safety is paramount, whether you're driving down the street or heading into Detroit. Like the Silverado, the Equinox offers an extensive array of cutting-edge safety features that test well when put through safety standards and give you the confidence you need to safely maneuver a variety of road conditions and weather.

The Chevy Suburban

The Suburban is not only Chevy's biggest vehicle, it's also the longest-running one, first introduced in 1935. With more than 85 years of history and 12 generations, the Suburban is the perfect example of Chevy's staying power and dedication to drivers' needs. Today's Suburban offers a unique combination of size, functionality, and contemporary technology while also being comfortable to drive.

One of the best-known features of the Chevy Suburban is its expansive cabin. Big families, road travelers, and anyone else who needs three rows of seats and a spacious cargo area will enjoy what the Suburban has to offer. Additionally, its remarkable towing capacity guarantees you won't have to leave anything behind. Along with towing capabilities, the Suburban gives you a smooth ride no matter the terrain, thanks to innovations in the chassis and suspension systems. These same systems also give it the ability to travel off-road if you're on the adventurous side.

The Suburban also provides a plethora of conveniences for families to ensure that everyone is content throughout lengthy trips. This includes both safety features that parents love and advanced technology that everyone can enjoy. The Chevy Suburban is a timeless classic that is still standing strong in its class. Whether you're a family on the run, an outdoor enthusiast, or someone who just appreciates a dependable, adaptable, and powerful SUV, the Suburban meets a wide range of needs.
