What to Look For During a Chevrolet Test Drive

A vehicle may look perfect on paper, but nothing compares to driving it yourself. A test drive lets you see how the vehicle performs in real-world conditions and helps you determine whether it meets your expectations. During your visit to David Scott Lee Chevrolet, evaluate everything from acceleration and handling to visibility and seating comfort.

Experience Chevrolet Performance

Every Chevrolet model is designed with different drivers in mind. Some prioritize towing capability, while others focus on fuel efficiency, sporty handling, or ride comfort. Make sure you know which features are most important to you, and focus on those during your test drive.

Pay attention to:

• Engine responsiveness
• Steering feel
• Ride quality
• Braking performance
• Cabin quietness

Whether you're interested in a capable Chevrolet pickup or a versatile SUV, driving the vehicle helps you understand how it performs beyond the specifications.

Make Sure the Interior Fits Your Lifestyle

You'll spend almost every day inside your vehicle, making cabin comfort just as important as exterior styling. While you're behind the wheel, take a few moments to adjust the driver's seat, mirrors, and steering wheel. If you're a taller driver, check for adequate headroom, legroom, and seat adjustability to ensure you can drive comfortably. If family members frequently ride with you, invite them along to evaluate passenger comfort as well.

Consider how the cabin works for your everyday routine by checking:

• Seat comfort and visibility
• Rear seat passenger space
• Cargo area accessibility
• Storage compartments
• Ease of entering and exiting the vehicle

If you're shopping for a growing family, don't forget to bring a child safety seat, stroller, sports equipment, or other items you regularly carry to see how they fit.

Try the Technology Before You Buy

Modern Chevrolet vehicles offer a wide range of technology designed to make every drive more enjoyable and convenient. Instead of simply reading about these features, experience them during your test drive.

Ask your product specialist to demonstrate features such as:

• Wireless Apple CarPlay® compatibility
• Wireless Android Auto™ compatibility
• Available navigation
• Available wireless phone charging
• Available Google built-in
• Available camera systems

Testing these features firsthand helps you determine which technology you'll use most often.

Evaluate Chevrolet Safety Features

Many Chevrolet models include advanced driver assistance technologies that can help increase confidence behind the wheel. During your test drive, ask about available safety features and how they operate in everyday driving situations.

Depending on the model, you may be able to experience or learn more about:

• Automatic Emergency Braking
• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
• Forward Collision Alert
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert
• Blind Zone Steering Assist

Our team can explain how each feature works and answer any questions you have.

Compare Multiple Chevrolet Models

Sometimes the hardest part of shopping is deciding between two great vehicles. Fortunately, you don't have to choose based on photos alone.

Schedule back-to-back test drives and take notes throughout each to compare models such as:

• Chevrolet Equinox and Chevrolet Traverse
• Chevrolet Trax and Chevrolet Trailblazer
• Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and Chevrolet Colorado
• Chevrolet Tahoe and Chevrolet Suburban

Driving each vehicle makes it easier to identify the one that best matches your driving habits, passenger needs, and cargo requirements.

Questions to Ask During Your Test Drive

A test drive is also the perfect opportunity to learn more about the vehicle from our knowledgeable team.

Consider asking questions such as:

• Which trim level fits my needs?
• What engine options are available?
• How much cargo space does this model offer?
• Which safety features come standard?
• What accessories are available?

The more information you gather during your visit, the more confident you'll feel when it's time to make your decision.
