As you can see from the video, the exterior of the Chevy Chevelle SS is a highly renovated concept with a revised font fascia. This new design features more angular lines to give the car a bit more of a strong, bold physique. The headlights within the Chevelle SS feature bright white LED and Xenon lamps that are crisp, clear and strong enough to light up the darkest roads. The trademark split grille at the front is designed with a chrome finish in addition to corporate badging.
One of the most interesting things about the exterior of this car is the model’s perfect 50/50 weight distribution. This of course won’t be noticed right away, but after a long drive on the country roads, you’ll be sure to feel the smooth and highly intuitive drive this new model of car will bring you. The front end and the rear end are perfectly in sync and will easily and effortlessly provide a silky-smooth drive even down bumpier terrain.
The trunk within this model is surprisingly large considering the overall car size. The trunk space measures in at a solid 16.4 cubic square feet, giving you plenty of space to pack up a few bags for a weekend trip or luggage for a longer road trip. Even though the model of this car is more compact, Chevrolet did an excellent job making sure each part of the car was utilized to its highest extent. The trunk space, for example, is the perfect testament to this as it is a lot roomier than you’d expect yet isn’t ridiculously too large that would cut into the back end or back seat space.
Chevelle SS Engine and Powertrain
The Chevelle SS engine and powertrain features are just as impressive, if not more impressive, as the exterior of the car. On first glance, you’ll notice the long, extended hood of the car. This usually indicates that the extended hood is concealing a pretty impressive engine, which in this case, is absolutely correct. The powerful engine underneath this durable hood is the Chevelle’s main attraction. Once you pop open that hood, you’ll immediately notice the engine’s alignment and realize that this car is built for power and speed.
Chevelle SS Engine
The new Chevelle SS engine comes to you with two impressive options: one with a 2.0-liter engine with incredible 294 horsepower, and the other with a 3.3-liter V-6 engine for a more fuel-efficient choice. While these are two pretty distinct options, both options in the engine will offer you a powerful drive that you will immediately feel as soon as you rev these engines up.
There are two other Chevelle SS engine options that are available in limited quantities that offer a 6.2-liter V-8 engine that will deliver an impressive 415 horsepower with 415 pound-feet of torque. This engine will come with either a 6-speed automatic or a 6-speed manual transmission. You can see why this engine type would be limited, as it would take a real sports car enthusiast to understand how to control an engine to this caliber.
The other limited engine specifications include a 454-horsepower engine that is capable of delivering an impressive 500-pound foot of torque and has claims to be one of the most economical engines that Chevy has ever manufactured. Delivering speed, power and precision, on top of being fuel economical means that this engine is a prize in itself. You can see why these engines would be a bit more difficult to find as they offer so much more power and would naturally produce a more expensive car overall.
Chevelle SS Interior
The Chevelle SS interior must match the amazing features of the exterior as well as the impressive specifications of the engine, and Chevy has not failed in this department. One of the best features of the Chevelle SS interior includes the electric adjustable driver’s seat that will offer you your best driving experience at the mere touch of a button. The seat is made of high-quality materials which you can feel and notice as soon as you sit in the car. The easy to use seat adjusting buttons offers the ideal position for you to enjoy your drive with the utmost comfort.
The overall design of the seats keeps passengers in a steady place even through quick accelerations and high speeds. The head rests to these seats are also adjustable and are just at the right place to keep your neck and head comfortable to enjoy the drive of this model even more. After all, the comfort of the driver and passengers of any make of car is one of the most important details a manufacturer can focus on. If the outside of the car is impressive, but the inferior is not, there can be major issues enjoying the overall drive factors of a car. The Chevy Chevelle SS, however, has matched the impressive exterior with a comfortable, modern designed interior.
Other impressive features inside the Chevelle SS includes Bluetooth accessibility connections, plenty of USB ports for charging phones or other smart devices, high contrast gauges, a modern Mp3 audio system, built in GPS navigation that is all encompassed by an intuitive touch screen display. You are basically mixing the classic nostalgia of the Chevelle SS on the outside with the impressive modern-day design on the inside of the car. It’s truly the best of both worlds, as any car enthusiast will immediately notice.
Release Date and Price
While the Chevy Chevelle SS redesign was released in 2017, that’s not to say that there won’t be any more editions released in the future. The initial 2017 redesigned model was released at a standard set price at about $30,000. Of course, the limited edition highly powered engine options would run you more, as well as other options for the inside of the car including the Bluetooth capability and GPS options. Since this model of car has been reinvented and redesigned, it’s speculation that Chevy will continue to upgrade this model offering the most modern technology available to its patrons.
While most car enthusiasts loved this model, about 36% of voters on the survey didn’t like the car’s redesigns and preferred the old model of car, or thought the redesign wasn’t necessary. Most people who are against the redesign also didn’t like some of Chevy’s other prototypes in cars, such as the HHR and SSR models that were collectively not popular.
The Overall Design
Overall, most people are excited about this new model of car and love the fact that it incorporates so much nostalgic aesthetic in its exterior and highly intuitive modern-day technology in its interior. This is the kind of car that would be perfect for anyone who remembers the old 1960’s Chevy Chevelle SS, yet loves modern technology and safety features that can be incorporated. With the ever-changing world of automobiles, it’s exciting to think about what could be featured in the next Chevy Chevelle SS redesign.
This model of car is available in many different colors and can easily be made to tailor to personal specifications, as most Chevy models are highly adaptable and inventive. Whether or not more models of this car will be released is up in the air, but considering Chevy’s drive to impress its patrons, it wouldn’t be surprising if a new, all-modern version of the Chevelle SS was in the making. Since the sale rate of this 2017 Chevy Chevelle SS model has been steady, odds are some new and intriguing elements will be incorporated into a new redesign. Only time will tell, however, if a newer version of the Chevy Chevelle SS will be available in the future.
