Today in California, Honda introduced the 2016 Honda Accord, which received a major overhaul in appearance. The new, sportier and more sophisticated Accord will be the first Honda model to feature both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Without a doubt, this will be the “highest-tech Accord ever.” Additional changes will include new styling, new display audio touchscreen interface, Honda Sensing (set of comprehensive safety and driver-assistive technologies), front and rear parking sensors, wireless charging and numerous other standard and available features that we are told will be revealed over the next several weeks.

We are already counting down the arrival of the all-new 2016 Honda Accord. Make sure you stay connected with Image Honda and Hamilton Auto Blog for the latest information on this outstanding vehicle.

When you think Chevrolet, you can’t help but think of the Silverado.  As it’s one of our most popular vehicles here at Queenston, we were excited when Chevrolet released a sneak peek of the redesigned 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pickup.

“The redesigned 2016 Silverado will build on Chevy Trucks’ legacy of dependability. It will feature a more muscular appearance and offer new customer-focused technologies,” said Joe De Stefano, brand manager, Chevrolet Trucks in Canada.

The Silverado’s bold new front end design adds aggressive horizontal elements, sculpted hoods and dramatic lighting.

Other changes for 2016 will include expanding the use of 8-speed automatic transmissions, updated Chevy MyLink with support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and additional safety technologies.

We will receive more information later this year regarding the 2016 Silverado’s revamped design – stay tuned to Hamilton Auto Blog for updates!  In the meantime, visit us at www.queenstonchev.com to browse our expansive Chevrolet inventory.

Smartphone Cooling in your Car!

Whoa, this is cool! No pun intended…

For 2016, Chevrolet has introduced a nifty new feature called Active Phone Cooling. This feature will be available on the 2016 Chevrolet Impala, Malibu, Volt and Cruze models that are equipped with the wireless charging option.

Most smartphones have built-in thermal protection features to protect battery life, but that protection – which can cause the phone to pause charging or turn off until it has cooled down – is inconvenient for drivers on the road who rely on their smartphones for streaming music, navigation or receiving phone calls.

What does Active Phone Cooling do? An air vent connected directly to the car’s air conditioning and ventilation system is directed to the charging bin where the phone rests for wireless charging, sending cool air to help lower the phone’s temperature. Active Phone Cooling operates only when the HVAC system is turned on by the driver.

The 2016s are due to land in our showroom early next year and we can’t wait to check out the new innovations in technology that these GMs will feature. Visit us at www.queenstonchev.com for more details on our exciting Chevrolet lineup.

If you are looking for a “showstopper” of a car, then take notice of the newly redesigned 2016 Chevrolet Malibu.  All-new from the ground up, the 2016 Malibu is almost 300 pounds lighter than previous models.  For a car that was introduced over 50 years ago, it continues to impress new generations.

The most fuel-efficient model yet, the 2016 Malibu is longer, lighter and offers passengers more interior space!  This car has everything you desire – it’s efficient and safer than ever, thanks to advanced safety features and technology that keeps you connected!  With exclusive OnStar 4G LTE in-vehicle connectivity and wireless phone charging available, there is little that can’t be accomplished while on the road.  Standard safety technologies include 10 standard airbags, with available options that include; Forward Collision Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Automatic Parking Assist.

Are you a parent of a teen who just started driving?  If so, you may have certain concerns that arise each time they ask to borrow the car.  Well, worry no more!  The all-new Teen Driver Feature will enable parents to view their kids’ driving statistics such as speed, warning alerts and more. Chevrolet’s Teen Driver Feature is an industry first.

Additional vehicle high points include:

  • New power-dense Ecotec 1.5L turbo engine with fuel-saving stop/start technology (standard feature)
  • Chevrolet MyLink with a 7-inch touchscreen is standard on LS, LT and Hybrid models
  • Chevrolet MyLink with an 8-inch touch screen is available on LT and Hybrid Models and standard on Premier model
  • Chevrolet MyLink with navigation is available with 8 inch MyLink system and features three-dimensional maps.
  • OnStar 4G LTE with Wi-Fi hotspot is standard on all models (includes 3 month/3GB data trial – whichever comes first)

The styling on the all-new Malibu is similar in many ways to the 2014 Impala. It’s sleek, elongated and shows off the dual-port grille. Contemporary lighting is a strong characteristic and includes a light-emitting diode (LED daytime running lamps available on LT and Premier Models). The Malibu Premier also includes LED taillamps. With so much to offer, there is no doubt you will want to take this vehicle for a test-drive when it hits our showroom floor in the late fall of this year.

New Athleticism for the 2016 Camaro?

Posted on by
Reply

There will be a leaner, more athletic design for the 2016 Camaro, which will be introduced on May 16, during a special public event in Detroit. There are several new additions to the design of the Camaro including an aluminum hood with a sculpted look that appears as though it is “form-fitted” around the mechanical components. The outcome? The hood looks as though it has been shrink-wrapped around the engine. The modifications make the Camaro look lower and wider when in reality; it’s smaller than its predecessor.

The anticipation is almost too much!  We can’t wait for its reveal…can you?

Debuting at the Detroit International Auto Show, the 2016 Chevrolet Bolt EV Concept caused quite a stir! With an estimated range of more than 300 kilometres, the Bolt represents Chevrolet’s vision for an affordable, global EV solution. And don’t you just love the name – the Bolt sounds fun to drive!

bolt1Every aspect of the innovative and uncompromising design, from the body’s unique silhouette to the lightweight materials used both inside and out, is designed to push the envelope both technologically and aesthetically. For the interior, Chevrolet revised their signature dual-cockpit design, incorporating easy-to-use technology with minimal design to create a more enjoyable driving experience.

An advanced lithium-ion battery provides over 300 kilometres of all-electric range, and with DC fast-charging capability, an 80 percent charge can be achieved in less than 45 minutes. The Chevrolet Bolt EV is also equipped with lightweight aluminum wheels featuring clear inserts between the spokes, giving the wheels a unique look while maximizing efficiency by reducing drag.
