Model Highlights

The Chevy Volt is GM's first vehicle to use so-called "extended range technology." It carries a lithium-ion battery as its primary fuel source. The battery is charged by plugging the vehicle into a socket overnight, and will provide a GM-claimed range of 35 miles. Should the driver need to drive further, an on-board 1.4L 4-cylinder gasoline-powered engine automatically starts up to generate additional energy. A regenerative braking system provides additional charging whenever the vehicle slows. The Volt is capable of a top speed of 100 mph, making it suitable for highway driving. Like all cars driven by electric motors, the Volt has lots of torque right from the get-go, making for quick starts and fun driving. Driving at faster speeds and flooring it at every red light as well as steep hills will all reduce that 35-mile electric-only range and engage the gasoline engine sooner. Chevrolet understands that this type of car will only be successful if drivers and passengers don't feel compromised by the experience. The Volt comes with eight standard air bags, which include a knee bag for the driver as well as side curtains for all passengers. Satellite radio, Bluetooth and remote keyless entry are all standard equipment, while navigation is optional. A standard cargo cover keeps the contents of the 10.6-cubic-foot trunk hidden. GM's OnStar system is included for three years. An optional Bose sound system includes a 30GB hard drive. This system is designed to use less energy than other stereo systems, allowing more power to be utilized at the wheels. Leather seats are even available for a little touch of luxury. A rear-view camera and park-assist system are also available, as are heated front seats.
