The school year is getting close to being over, which means graduation is coming up. With graduation getting closer and closer, maybe you would like to get your graduate a car as their graduation gift. Graduation is a big accomplishment and should be rewarded for. This could be for graduating high school or college. Most likely it will be for someone who has recently graduated from high school. Recent graduates will most likely be in the age range of 17-22. That will cover both graduates from high school and college.
Chevrolet makes a variety of cars that would be perfect for a recent graduate. These graduates are still young, so it is important to not get something with too much value. You want to get them in a dependable, affordable, and safe vehicle that will last a long time. After high school, most likely they will be going off to college and the parents are going to want to get their child something that they know they won’t have to worry about while they are away from home. Less worry for the parent, the better.
We will start with the less expensive models first and work our way up.
The Chevrolet Trax is the replacement for the Chevrolet Cruze. With the shift in market to SUVs in recent years. Chevrolet felt in order to stay relevant in today’s market, they had to make some changes. That is why most of the major OEMs have made the decision to go to mostly SUV models. The Trax is a small SUV that comes with a great price tag. Most often, the MSRP of a new Trax is in the low $20,000s. At any given time at Poage Chevrolet, you can find one for around $16,000. That is an unbelievable price for a new car. Of course, there are many different trim levels to choose from, so obviously when you choose the higher trim level, you get more options and the price will increase. The Trax gets a combined 28 mpg. This would be a great car to give your recent graduate. To view our inventory of Trax, click here.
The Chevy Malibu is a reasonable priced sedan that would be a great option to a recent graduate. This car has everything you could need. The Malibu gets a combined 32 mpg. If you are traveling back and forth from college, that will be a big helper in saving money on gas. The Malibu is safe and dependable and will be able to get you wherever you will need to go.

The Trailblazer is now a small and sporty SUV. It has a starting price of around $19,000. It is available in trim levels L, LS, LT, ACTIV, and RS. L is the cheapest trim level and RS is the most expensive but it is also has the most to offer in terms of options. The RS has a starting price of around $25,000. For a small sporty SUV, that’s not too bad. The Trailblazer also offers an AWD option. This is a great car for someone who has recently graduated and needs a vehicle.

The price tag for an Equinox can range from the low $20,000 to the low $30,000. This SUV is one step above the Trax in terms of size and space.
