(FIRST LOOK) 2017 Chevrolet Chevy Nova Review, Photo’s, Features, Price
The muscle-car fans will feast on the new 707 horsepower 2017 Chevy Nova and are simply slipped into the 526-hp Chevy Nova. But they will not be able to pass the final course: The 2017 Chevrolet Nova, on sale now in New Coupe form and come next year as a soft-top convertible Nova.
The new 2017Nova did not deviate at all from the formula classic muscle-car, or indeed all that much in the style of the fifth generation car sold from 2013 to 2015. This model is below is quite different, however: it is now based on the Alpha architecture Chevy ", which means it has much in common with Chevelle. These fundamentals mean that it is time to stop calling the Nova a muscle car. As Chevelle, exceptional maneuverability of New him give a more complete performance profile that catapults her previous Novas past and into a whole new realm of performance.
On first glance, it is not as easy to identify as new 2017 Nova. The attitude is the same, just a bit smaller, with adjusted proportions that alternate between debaucheries and bulky. Not since the first Nova had really lyrical glances, but some of the clearest passages and most difficult of the fifth generation Nova were resolved in the sixth generation car. It is sensitive to the angle of approach: on the side, details of the new Nova can be quite striking and well established, but others may seem stocky shortened. Powerful legs are intact, balancing the large nose and thin grille as they can. The threat? Everything is there, all untouched, especially in dark colors.
The cabin is a great start in the right direction. The thrifty sensation of Nova last generation car in 2017 was cast with the last few eye winks inheritance that do not work in a modern environment. The cockpit has fewer seams, better materials and a more cohesive look that blends into the large touch screens, digital gauges, and a pair of nifty gimbaled air vents that cycle with climate controls with a twist their trim rings. It is a fresh take still should look contemporary years.
Nova this generation will gets it first turbocharged 4-cylinder in history, but for now, the only versions we have conducted are the mid-range V-6 and bursting, V-8 powered SS. The good of the four to 275 hp and up to 30 mpg highway. The V-6? It is rated at 335 hp and 284 lb-ft of torque, good enough to punt Nova to 60 mph in about five seconds behind his band with his best sounds amplified and fed into the cab of Nova. On its available 18-inch wheels with a manual 6-rev-matching or 8 automatic offset paddle gear speeds, the average powertrain children of New is strong enough to dust the highest performance Novas only there a decade.
For the first model year, will be the ultimate Nova SS, and it is a great performance weapon. Stuffed with New LT1 V-8, rated at 455 hp and 455 lb-ft of torque, it is an amazing piece of hardware, with 60 mph time of just four seconds on hand at the end of swing the accelerator pedal.
With a combination of powertrain, the Nova can be adapted to individual driving styles through a new Drive Mode Selector. Like similar systems, it allows drivers to adjust the characteristics of the direction of the car, the stability control, the shift schedule and throttle progressions. Sport, Tour modes, and snow / ice joined Nova SS with a Chevy and setting track allows drivers to customize the parameters of individual system, to create their own training mode.
His suspension is a double-pivot, control arm and leg design as the Chevelle, with the same attention to weight reduction, which makes suspension components like flying buttresses instead of solid pieces. And at the rear, the design of five link can be equipped with excellent adaptive magnetic dampers Chevy Ride Control, the list of options Nova SS for the first time this year.
Electric power steering is standard on the SS Nova, the only models that will be offered this year. Four-piston Brembo brakes are standard, nestled behind the 18-inch wheels and Goodyear Eagle Sport tires. Twenty-inch wheels with runflat Eagle F1 tires are an option on the New LT, while the standard versions SSs get 20 inches of the same tire.
With either transmission and magnetic dampers, the Nova SS finally breaks free of its muscle-car mortal coil. It is a true sports car, flicking instead of pounding the pavement down, turning adroitly with a level of responsiveness that has eluded all but the best versions of the fifth generation car.
Much of the credit for excellent handling of the Nova goes to his Downsized weighted light footprint. It is now part of the Alpha family of Chevy cars, which includes the Chevelle and Nova. The platform switch allows drop to 200 pounds in some trim levels, but more critically, it is the suspension and engine design body rails, boot floor, steering gear directly from the Chevelle - let that keep its traditional position while raising its handling to a new level.
The switch does not allow an accommodation, however. Some 2.3 inches shorter, on a wheelbase down 1.6 inches, the Nova gives up having a back seat for most. Passenger and driver made fit better in front, despite a height lower by a larger margin of thumb engineers found the roof carving pavilion and increase the amplitude of movement seats before. It is possible for tall drivers to race this Nova with headphones and sit right enough. The rear seats will take much more than a backpack, and the trunk is shallow and narrow, but for two passengers, the cabin of the New has never been more comfortable or better trimmed or better organized .
No data crash test is yet available, since the Nova is so new. Earlier versions worked well, and the new car has added safety technology, such warnings before-collision, anti-angle screens dead, and a standard rearview camera. He needs this last vision, too outward is even worse in the back, and a set of parking sensors available is an option that we consider essential.
All Novas come standard with power windows, locks and mirrors; Bluetooth with audio streaming; AM / FM audio system with a 7.0-inch touch screen, six speakers, two USB ports and an auxiliary jack; carplay Apple and Android Auto (late availability); equipment for 4G LTE drive data service (subscription required for data separately); speed regulator; keyless start; front seats; 18-inch wheels; and the control mode selection conductors.
Given all this, the Nova is a huge value, even at the SS daunting. Prices for early turbo coupe to $ 26,695; for the V-6 at $ 28,490. The powerful V SS-8-fed with the 6.2-liter V-8 starts at only $ 37.295, and the magnetic dampers highly recommended and other key options fall in the $ 40,000 range-few thousand mid-shy where Chevy Chevelle gets started.
Contrary to what you might be expected, fuel economy is not turning dramatically to three different engines of Nova. The most economical option: a turbocharged four married to a 8-speed automatic transmission manages 25 mpg combined, according to the EPA. Contrast the V-8 performance of 20 mpg 6.2-liter combined when equipped with the same 8-speed. The V-8 even manages 28 mpg on the highway, thanks to cylinder deactivation technology.
