How to Plan Your Ideal Test Drive Route
Prior to your test drive, consider the types of roads you usually drive on—whether it's city streets, highways, or rural roads. Craft a route that lets you assess the Chevy EV’s capabilities in different driving conditions. Testing its performance in a range of environments will help you understand how it handles various scenarios.
Features to Focus On
Chevy EVs come packed with innovative features. During your test drive, pay special attention to:
- Touchscreen and Connectivity: Test the touchscreen interface, navigation, and connectivity options.
- Safety and Driver Assistance Tools: Explore tools like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and parking aids.
- Regenerative Braking: Experience how regenerative braking works to recover energy and provide a smoother, more efficient driving experience.
How to Evaluate Comfort and Handling
Comfort plays a vital role in any vehicle, and Chevy EVs are no different. While test driving, be sure to focus on:
- Evaluate how comfortable the seating is for both the driver and passengers, and test the adjustability.
- Test noise levels—Chevy EVs are known for their quiet cabins.
- Evaluate the steering responsiveness and suspension over bumps or uneven roads.
Feel free to ask for a second test drive or discuss any concerns to ensure you're making an informed decision.
Asking the Right Questions
Make the most of your time with the sales team by preparing a list of questions. Here are some to get you started:
- What is the range of this Chevy EV model?
- How does charging work at home versus public stations?
- Are there warranties or maintenance plans that cover the battery?
Gathering as much information as possible will help you make a confident decision.
