Overview

The 2017 Chevrolet SS makes for an excellent contender in the midsize sedan class. With just one trim on offer, the Chevrolet SS has a base MSRP of $46,625, competing directly with the Jaguar XF, and the Genesis G80, and the Cadillac CTS V-Sport. Only a 6.2L V8 engine is offered, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 415 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 4.4 seconds, the SS maintains a combined fuel economy of 16 MPG. Chevrolet offers the SS in 8 stunning colors, with the Orange Blast Metallic being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

Despite being an underrated offering from the Chevy, the Chevrolet SS holds a niche of its own in the market for a sporty sedan. As mentioned before, it is offered in just one trim level with some luxury features and modern gizmos to give its rivals a run for their money.
