What Does “RS” Mean on Chevy Models?

While shopping for your next Chevy model, you're sure to come across one with "RS" in its name. The RS on Chevy models stands for "Rally Sport", a designation that's been around since the classic muscle car era of the 1960s. Today, several of the models at Gillman Chevrolet Harlingen offer an RS trim, signifying sportier appearance, enhanced performance, or a combination of both.

RS - the Details

Depending on the vehicle, the RS badge at our Harlingen, TX Chevy dealership can take the form of a stand-alone trim level or an upgrades package. In either case, the vehicle in question boasts a sportier appearance and/or enhanced performance features that transcends the "standard" version of the vehicle.

For example, an RS model might integrate unique styling elements such as blacked-out trim, a special chrome grille, or distinctive alloy wheels. Or it may come with performance upgrades such as a sportier suspension, a more aerodynamic body kit, or a more powerful engine.

Examples of Chevy RS Models

In our showroom and on our lot, you'll find a diverse range of new Chevy models that bear the RS badge. Here are a few examples:

Chevrolet Traverse RS

If you want to stand out in a midsize SUV, the Chevy Traverse RS is the way to go. On the outside, its special features include 22-inch high-gloss black-painted aluminum wheels and a blacked-out grille and roof rails. In the cabin, you'll find Jet Black leather-appointed seats with red accents, as well as strategically-placed RS badging and a flat-bottom steering wheel.

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 RST

This truck combines world-class power with a bold, street-inspired design. The center grille bar, bumpers, and door handles all share the same body color, and the exterior integrates a sport-truck appearance that differentiates it from other Chevy Silverado trims. Also, the 18-inch wheels on the Chevy Silverado 1500 RST can be upgraded to 20-inch high-gloss black wheels. 

Chevy Blazer EV RS

If you fancy a stylish, all-electric SUV, buy the Chevy Blazer EV RS. Its powerful, zero-emissions powertrain is complemented by several aesthetic upgrades. These include 21-inch wheels, a black-painted grille, and an illuminated front light-bar and bowtie with animation.
