A road trip is always a good idea. So when the ladies of Femme Drive discussed a drive during Hispanic Heritage Month throughout South Florida, I packed my bags and jet set on over! On our drive, we’d be testing out fresh new 2023 Chevy models: Traverse, Trailblazer, and Tahoe. Perfect for our group and comfy for drive time.

Upon arrival, I picked up the 2023 Chevy Traverse.
I was traveling with my family so it was great to transport all of our luggage. We’re a small family of three but having that extra trunk space allowed all of our luggage to fit and when the trunk was empty my daughter loved tuning out back there. Teenagers just love their space

There is so much to explore in South Florida.
And it’s filled with plenty of Hispanic culture. From traditional Cuban and PuertoRican cuisine to art, music and so much more. We went from Biscayne to Little Havana to South Beach and then drove to Del Rey and Boca Raton.
The great thing about a group drive is that we all get the opportunity to test out different cars.
We had a great time in the Chevy Tahoe. It’s so spacious and just perfect for road trips. All four of us fit comfortably plus two hubbies and a teen. If you’ve got a large crew, the Tahoe does not disappoint.
