2016 Chevrolet Sonic Gets Updated Features

OKEMOS, Mich.– The Sonic has made a name for itself among Chevrolet’s many touted vehicles. Chevy sold a whopping 93,518 Sonic models in 2014, and sales are expected to continue in an upward trend with the 2016 Chevrolet Sonic’s updated features.

One of the most significant updates is to the Sonic’s stylish appearance. Chevy is ditching two colors– Black Granite Metallic and Ashen Gray Metallic– and will be adding three new prominent colors– Nightfall Gray Metallic, Mosaic Black Metallic and Kinetic Blue Metallic. The more exotic sounding palette is sure to spark excitement in the 2016 Sonic.

In addition to losing two color options, the 2016 Sonic will also give up these major features and options:

- AM/FM stereo with CD player and MP3 playback

- Dragon Green Promotional Package

- Manual Equipment Group from the LTZ Sedan and LTZ 5-Door

Despite these cuts, the 2016 Chevrolet Sonic will get updated features that make it even better. Along with three new color options, these exciting major changes will take place in the new Sonic:

- MyLink radio

- 10.8-gallon tank on manual transmission

- 12.2-gallon tank on automatic transmission

If anything, trimming away old features and adding new traits makes the 2016 Chevy Sonic a more attractive vehicle. Its ability to change, shows that Chevrolet knows how to keep up with the constant and rapid competition we all know exists in the automotive world. That’s why we love having such a vibrant inventory of reliable New Chevy Vehicles and Used Chevy Vehicles at our Chevrolet Dealership!

2016 Chevy Models Integrate New Smartphone Technology

http://www.graffokemosgm.com/vehicle-technology

OKEMOS, Mich.– We live in a world where technology is making rapid advancements that alter how we get through the day. One of the preeminent technologies we now use are our smartphones. It’s practically vital to our lifestyles today, so it makes a lot of sense why the 2016 Chevy models will integrate new smartphone technology that works with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

By providing this technology through Chevy’s MyLink infotainment system, drivers are able to connect their Android smartphone or iPhone to any of Chevy’s 14 different 2016 models. And by offering this technology in more models than any other automaker, Chevy definitely climbs to the top of the automotive technology pyramid!

The new MyLink integration will be accessible through a 7-inch screen that supports both Android and Apple, as well as an 8-inch screen only capable with Apple until later on in 2016 when Android will most likely join. Regardless, integrating new smartphone technology in 2016 Chevy models will allow you to stay even more connected with the ability to access multiple features of your smartphone.

Android Auto features that will be available include: Google Maps, Google Now, a Google voice service and audio and messaging apps. Apple CarPlay features will include: Phone, Messages, Music, Siri and third-party apps.

To make driving with this technology convenient and simple, 2016 Chevy models will include a button on the steering wheel that allows you to access your smartphone’s features with a simple voice command. Just make sure that you have an Android smartphone operating on Android Lollipop 5.0 or later, or an iPhone 5 or later.

We don’t need to sell you on why Chevy makes the best vehicles – Advancements such as this smartphone technology do all the explaining for us! Do the smart thing and get into a Chevy! View our inventory of New Chevy Cars and New Chevy Trucks or visit our Chevy Dealership!

2016 Chevrolet Camaro Performance Review

OKEMOS, Mich.– Belle Isle was where it was at this past Saturday when the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro made it’s first public debut in Detroit! If you’re completely in the dark right now, keep reading! We’ve got you covered with a few major aspects that make the sixth generation Camaro a breakthrough performance vehicle.

Faster. Unheard-of handling. Lighter, athletic design. SIX different powertrain options. We have a feeling that by the time you get through this 2016 Chevrolet Camaro Performance Review, you’ll have an extreme need for speed and you’ll definitely see how this new model is leaving previous standards in the dust.

SAE-certified at 275 horsepower, the 2016 Camaro’s 2.0L Turbo is the epitome of performance. With a weight reduction of 200 pounds to increase efficiency, the sixth-gen Camaro still handles well while boasting 30 mpg on the highway! Not something you typically expect with a performance car that jumps from 0-60 mph in less than 6 seconds!

A review of the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro’s performance reveals high performing automotive technology, too. The Camaro’s new Drive Mode Selector allows you to alternate between four driving modes: Snow/Ice, Tour, Sport, and Track settings (available on the SS). On top of that, the 2016 Camaro has 24 available options for dashboard, door panel, and center console ambient lighting, as well as changeable HD color displays that make for a tranquil and enjoyable adventure each time you take a drive.

When you combine performance and technology with the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro’s design, you understand why this vehicle surpasses previous benchmarks. The performance car’s athletic design and aerodynamic form took shape after 350 hours of wind tunnel testing, further exemplifying its performance abilities. After all of these design upgrades, Chevy still left space for you to add your own flare with 10 exterior colors and five interior color combinations to choose from, as well as lighting options and an array of accessories, like wheels and stripes packages.

The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro is already making a name for itself, but when it hits the streets you can expect it to really prove why it’s the new standard performance vehicle. If you’re craving your own performance vehicle, stop by our Chevrolet dealership, or visit us online at GraffOkemosGM.com to view our inventory!

OKEMOS, Mich. – It's going down this weekend at Detroit's Belle Isle Park! The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro Debut, that is. Have you seen the sixth-gen Camaro teaser photos? Trust us, you are not going to want to miss this Saturday's public event!

This Saturday, May 16th, the redesigned 2016 Chevrolet Camaro will make its public debut at Belle Isle Park, giving us all our first look at the sixth generation model. One look at the new Camaro's teaser photos and you can tell that it's updated design is going to be impressive, but the word on the street is that the muscle car's performance is just as impressive.

Engineering the next-gen Camaro was no easy feat. In fact, the car spent 350 hours in the wind tunnel - often for 24 hours at a time - all to deliver an even better aerodynamic experience. On top of that, engineers tested hundreds of changes, just millimeters at a time. But in the end it was all worth it because the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro will offer improved stability thanks to a 30% improvement in total aerodynamic lift!

Just. Five. More. Days. Stay tuned for more details on the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro Debut at Belle Isle Park, you'll hear it here first!
