Despite rumors of cancelation, Chevy’s subcompact Spark is back for the 2020 model year and is still an ideal car for commuters. Starting at just $13,220 MSRP, it’s also one of the most affordable new cars on the market. The Spark gets up to 38 mpg on the highway, which means you can save money at the pump as well. It comes with plenty of available advanced safety features, as well as 4G LTE Wi-Fi, two USB ports, and available Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Plus, you can get it in fun colors like Raspberry and Orange Burst so you can stand out on the road during your commute.

The 2020 Chevy Trax is small enough to navigate tight city streets but large enough to accommodate your entire family. It comes with standard Chevrolet Infotainment 3, which is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto so you can easily make calls and play music with minimal distractions. In-Vehicle Apps include Spotify, USA Today, The Weather Channel, and myChevrolet App. You can also opt for built-in navigation if your commute takes you to unknown places.

If you have a long commute, the price of gas can be a concern. Choosing an electric vehicle like the Chevy Bolt EV means you don’t need to think about the price of gas anymore. The 2020 Bolt has a range of 259 miles on a full charge, which is more than enough to cover most commutes (and means you probably won’t even need to charge it every day). The Driver Information Center tells you how many miles you have left on your charge, as well as information about how your energy is being used, your efficiency history, and how things like driving technique and outside temperature affect your battery use.

The 2020 Chevrolet Blazer’s powerful stance is designed to make you the master of the commute. The spacious interior makes it easy to cart your kids to daycare on the way to work without sacrificing your gym bag or doughnuts for your colleagues. An upcoming 2.0-liter turbo engine boasts 230 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque to help you get up to speed on the highway quickly. Available safety features like Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keep Assist help make your time on the road a safer one.
No matter which Chevy vehicle you consider for your commute, it’s important you stay safe and distraction-free behind the wheel to ensure you and your fellow drivers make it home safely.
