Perfect car for the Hwy

Very quick acceleration at low speeds due to higher torque from the diesel engine. If your not careful you will peel out. This car goes right up steep hills without slowing down. I average 44-50 mpg. If you do alot of city driving wou will get 40-44mpg if you are mostly driving on the hwy you will get 48-52 depending on traffic. Requires Diesel exaust fluid— 2.5 gallons at walm____ runs 7$ and will get you around 2,500 miles.

36k update: dealer did a recall update. Said it would not change driving dynamics in any way but car no longer has any turbo lag. Power delivery is smooth and gear changes precise. Drives completely different in a great way. Brother-in law with new 2021 Audi S3 said my car felt powerful after driving it. 26000 mile update: no problems. Over 43mpg average since day 1. Transmission often puts you in wrong gear so when speed or inertia is needed car shifts to such a high gear almost feels like it has stalled. Uses a lot of BluDef. Car cruises solid 80mph relaxing but solid turns to harsh on all but smooth roads. Fix trans and suspension and Chevy would have a truly great car. ----Upon first driving car was impressed by acceleration for a diesel and smooth shifting and ride. Brakes are excellent. However after some time have found the ride smooth and solid on smooth and solid roads. Anything but and the ride is as choppy and bouncy as my 2016 Jeep Cherokee(which is an appropriate ride for an SUV). Road impacts e.g potholes, manholes are loud and harsh for such a solid feeling chassis. Shifts are great unless you try evasive driving, three point turns or lift off and quickly accelerate again leaves car dead. Transmission moves to such a high gear, car barely moves or bogs down to no go which has become a huge safety concern for me. Full throttle, part throttle, nothing fixes it. God help you if a train is coming.
