Across all model years, accident-free inventory is excellent at 95.1% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: GM’s Super Cruise hands-free driving system, automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, a 360-degree camera system, and automated parking assist.
• Infotainment: a dashboard-spanning display with a digital instrument cluster, central infotainment touchscreen, and front-passenger touchscreen, plus Google-based infotainment and built-in apps like Hulu and YouTube.
• Range & charging: 460-mile range, an estimated 200 kilowatt-hours of total capacity, and 350 kW charging that gets you 100 miles of range in 10 minutes.
• Battery health: When you shop used EVs, focus on battery state-of-health, how the previous owner charged the vehicle, and whether the remaining battery warranty still applies. A car that spent most of its life on home charging and only occasional DC fast charging is often easier to evaluate than one that relied heavily on public fast charging.
