Key takeaways.
- There’s currently only two Chevy SUVs that aren’t currently in production.
- Chevy has two trims that come with electric engines, making the package even greener without having to have a whole new model.
- When it comes to crossovers, there’s tons of options ranging in different sizes, making it easy for you to get the ideal size without ever going over.

What models are discontinued from Chevrolet?
When looking at the models that aren’t being made, there’s only a few to mention. The K5 Blazer hit the market in 1970, and was the smallest SUV that GM had to offer, while this trim has a long life, it was ultimately replaced by the Tahoe in 1995.
The other model that is no longer being produced is the Tracker. The Tracker was a mini-SUV that was produced under multiple names throughout different markets.
For models that are still currently being produced, there’s a lot more to pick from.
When looking at the body-on-frame style SUVs, there’s the Suburban and the Tahoe. The Tahoe is meant to be your full-size SUV without being massive like others in the family. The Tahoe allows you to do more thanks to the power, and cargo space.
The Suburban has been around for a very long time, but is now marketed as a larger Tahoe, filling the same role, just in a larger body, giving you more room for the family.
There are tons of crossovers to pick from, even coming with EV models.
The Blazer, and Blazer EV are both mid-size crossovers, both coming with two rows of seating. If you’re wanting a vehicle that gets you and your family and their cargo where you need to go with ease, then look no further.
The Chevy Equinox and Equinox EV went from a full-size SUV down to a crossover in later models. Chevy knows that bigger isn’t always better, as long as it can still get the job done.
The Trailblazer is the newest member of the Chevy family, and unlike the other models, this is a compact crossover. Being that it is a compact, you don’t have to worry about a large vehicle getting into tight spots. While it is smaller, it is still capable which is perfect if you have younger kids who are into extracurricular activities.
The Chevy Traverse is a full-size crossover, and being that this is a larger vehicle, it is much more capable than the smaller CUV’s in the lineup. Being that this is a slightly larger vehicle, it has more power at 224 horsepower. With more power in the engine, you get even more payload capacity making this model ideal when needing to carry larger equipment.
The last model that is still currently being produced is the Trax. Much like the Equinox, the model changed sizes throughout its life-cycle. Initially starting as a sub-compact, it gained slightly more size as a compact crossover.
Summary
When it comes to models that are great at getting the kids to their sports practice, or even just having some extra utility without being massive, you can look for the Trailblazer, and the Trax.
If you’re wanting something that has extra room, you can look for a Blazer, and Equinox. Both making it easy to haul larger equipment without extra equipment.
