Three Great Chevy Models for Recent Graduates

Get out your caps and gowns, Northwest Arkansas! It’s May again, and that means it’s time for the class of 2020 to graduate and move on to the next step of their lives. Whether that’s more education, a career, service in the military or something else, a new graduate is going to need a few things. For most, that includes affordable, reliable, dependable transportation.

With the coronavirus epidemic putting the brakes on traditional graduation ceremonies this year, the Class of 2020 is graduating into a world that’s full of uncertainty. One thing you can always depend on, though, is a great Chevrolet from McLarty Daniel Chevrolet of Springdale. Seen below, check out our top three Chevy vehicles for new graduates. Any of these choices would make a perfect pick for your high school or college grad as they head into their futures.

2020 CHEVY SONIC

STARTING PRICE: $17,595
FUEL ECONOMY: 26 mpg city/34 mpg highway

Nope, that starting price is not a typo. A new grad can own a 2020 Chevy Sonic, factory fresh, with a full GM warranty and the latest features, for about the price of a cheap used car. The 2020 Chevy Sonic is no boring econo-mobile, either. Available in both sedan or the sporty Sonic Hatchback model, the 2020 Sonic is loaded with the technology, safety and fun you want, along with the practicality, fuel economy and low monthly payment you need. Under the hood is a turbocharged 1.4-liter four cylinder delivering surprising horsepower and torque, helping make even short trips all kinds of fun, while the exterior includes the crisp lines and eye-catching details that make the Sonic a head-turner. Simply put, the 2020 Sonic is a home run for those just starting out in life.

2020 CHEVROLET CAMARO

STARTING PRICE: $25,000
FUEL ECONOMY: 22 mpg city/31 mpg highway

That’s right: we’re recommending the iconic Chevy Camaro as a great, economical commuter car for your new grad. A lot of young folks don’t have car seats and kid gear to wrestle in and out before they hit the road, so right after graduation is an excellent time to own Chevy’s Great American two-door coupe, which features seating for five. Nobody does economical and practical with more pizazz than Chevy Camaro. While there are more expensive versions of the Camaro, including the fire-breathing ZL1 and Camaro SS, the base model 1LS Camaro is great choice for a new grad, packing a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine churning out a respectable 275 horsepower while delivering world-beating fuel economy of up to 31 mpg. After all: who says practical can’t be fun too?

2020 CHEVY SPARK

STARTING PRICE: $13,220
FUEL ECONOMY: 30 mpg city/38 mpg highway

Here’s another starting price that will probably make you do a double take, but make no mistake: the 2020 Chevy Spark is a lot of character, reliability, fuel economy and fun in one very affordable package. While it’s definitely a compact car — it’s the smallest vehicle Chevy currently sells in North America — the 2020 Spark goes big on style, with 10 eye-catching colors (including Raspberry, Passionfruit Pink and Orange Burst), a modern shape, and an interior where useful technology and comfort come first. The 2020 Spark is safe, too, including 10(!) standard airbags to surround you and your passengers in a cushion of protection in the event of a crash. Agile and quick, easy to squeeze into even the tightest parking spaces downtown, the 2020 Spark might just be the perfect car to send your new grad out in to face the world.
