The Chevrolet Volt was one of the most-anticipated cars when it began selling in limited markets in late 2010 as a 2011 model. It was one of the first plug-in hybrid electric cars on the road. GM calls it an extended-range electric. The 1.4-liter gas four-cylinder engine recharges the Volt's 16-killowatt hour, T-shaped lithium-ion battery pack - the same in your Mac or PC, just bigger. The Volt can go up to 40 miles on pure electric power before the gasoline engine kicks on. When it does it doesn't drive the wheels, instead it supplies power to the battery pack by powering a generator. The Volt uses premium fuel. The Volt is built on the same Delta global compact platform and 105.7-inch wheelbase as the Cruze The Range Bodystyle: Four-door hatchback Motor/Engine: 1.4L I-4, 16 kWh Li-Ion battery pack Transmission: Single reduction ratio Models: Volt What's New When the Volt debuted in 2011 it was one of the first plug-in-electric hybrid on the market and took home Motor Trend's Car of the Year Award. Not many major changes for its sophomore year, but the bow-tie brand had a few up its sleeve. Chevrolet made the navigation system and Bose audio system optional to lower the base price of the Volt in hopes to attract more customers. Passive keyless entry is now standard. It also gains new 17-inch wheels with interchangeable plastic inserts. Chevrolet's MyLink interface and a three-year subscription to OnStar turn-by-turn navigation are new. The 2011 Volt had limited availability, but GM expects it to be available nation-wide (and in Europe as the Opel Ampera) before the 2012 calendar year begins. Exterior The Volt dons a similar profile to the fastback Toyota Prius - which is more aerodynamic than traditional sedans. It features the familiar family front end with its crossbar split grille with gold bowtie. It is slightly smaller than the large for its class Chevy Cruze compact sedan. Daytime running lights, keyless entry, power heated mirrors, 17-inch aluminum wheels and rear spoiler are all standard. Blue Topaz Metallic and Summit White are new paint options for 2012. Cyber Gray Metallic has been dropped. Interior The instrument panel and center stack is now black with silver-colored, satin polished details including the outer rings of the climate-control dials, center stack vents, and audio control panel. Mazda said the silver accents on black background give the Mazda3 “a feeling of higher refinement” as well as making frequently used options easier to find. The Mazda3’s multi-function display and LCD display replace last year’s red text and graphics with white. The Mazda3 comes well-equipped with plenty of storage bins, two 12-volt outlets, rear heater ducts, power windows and locks, and 60/40 folding rear seat. Leather and navigation are optional. An optional blind-spot monitoring system is new for 2012. Performance & Handling The Volt can reach 60 mph from a standstill in 8.8 seconds on electric power or 8.7 seconds with the small gasoline engine putting it a full second faster than the Toyota Pruis. By the time it hits 64 mph (1.2 seconds later) the controller decreases power output slightly to preserve the battery. It can top out at 100 mph - above any legal speed in the country. The Volt matches a 2.4-liter Malibu Safety The Volt comes with many of GM's safety features standard and includes driver and passenger airbags. StabiliTrak electronic stability control, traction control, four wheel anti-lock disc brakes, tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and daytime running lights are all standard. Rear parking assist with rearview camera are available. OnStar with automatic crash response, emergency services, crisis alert, stolen vehicle assist, remote door unlock, roadside assistance, remote horn and lights, turn-by-turn navigation, hands-free calling, vehicle diagnostics is standard for a limited time and owners can subscribe for as long as they own the Volt.

How Chevy used popular Instagram user to promote 2016 Volt
Thu, Feb 26 2015A picture is worth a thousand words. When it comes to Chevrolet and its Volt extended-range plug-in, the automaker is hoping pictures can be turned into a few more buyers. The company extended a little love to one popular social-media practitioner to see if the trick works. Former biochemical engineer Kevin Lu started his Instagram account a couple of years ago during a road trip, and the quality of his shots has attracted about 181,000 followers. With that popularity in mind, Chevy brought Lu up to Detroit to check out the unveiling of the next-generation Volt at the Detroit Auto Show last month. Lu also got to see the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly factory where the Volt is built, Automotive News reports. As for the next-gen Volt, Chevy says a more efficient powertrain and lighter battery help give the car an all-electric range of up to 50 miles and a total driving distance of more than 400 miles. Chevy also touts the model's streamlined grille and (tight) seating for three in the rear. General Motors hopes a combination of those improvements and exposure from sources such as Lu and his Instagram account (and some sleepy ads, apparently) revitalize sales of the model. Last year, Volt sales fell 19 percent to 18,805 units.

Chevy Silverado Midnight Edition coming to Chicago
Thu, Jan 22 2015Between the GMC Canyon Nightfall Edition and Chevy Silverado Custom Sport, the truck divisions of General Motors had no lack of blacked-out custom pickups to showcase at the Detroit Auto Show this year. But now the General has announced one more. Called the Midnight Edition, for this special Silverado blacks out all the trim, including the grille, bumpers, headlamp bezels, tow hooks, fog lamps, side and beltline moldings, 19-inch wheels, bedliner and bowtie emblems. It's based on the Silverado 1500 with the Z71 package, so it also boasts an off-road suspension, locking rear differential, hill-descent control and trailering pack. While it was at it, Chevy has also thrown in rear park assist and power heated door mirrors. Buyers will be able to choose between double- or crew-cab models, but no more than 5,000 examples will be produced this year, each priced at a premium pegged between $1,595 and $1,995 (depending on the model). The Silverado Midnight edition debuts today at the National Automobile Dealers Association convention in San Francisco and will be showcased at the Chicago Auto Show next month, around the time that deliveries will commence. 2015 Silverado Midnight Edition is The New Black Monochrome appearance package to debut at NADA and Chicago Auto Show 2015-01-22 DETROIT – Truck fans know that nothing adds presence to a pickup like basic black. And Chevrolet is taking black to the next level with the Silverado Midnight special edition, on display starting today at the National Automobile Dealers Association Convention & Expo in San Francisco, and making its public debut February 14 at the Chicago Auto Show. Beginning with a black Silverado Z71, the Midnight special edition adds: - An all-black front end with body-colored grille, bumper, headlamp bezels, tow hooks and fog lamps; - Black side moldings and beltline moldings; - 18-inch black painted alloy wheels with Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac all-terrain tires; - Special Z71 badges on the doors; - A spray-in bedliner (black, of course); - And the finishing touches – black Chevrolet bowties front and rear. Like all 2015 Silverado 1500 Z71s, Midnight special editions include off-road suspension, a locking rear differential, Hill Descent Control and a trailering package. Midnight special editions also include rear park assist and heated, power-adjusted outside rear-view mirrors.
GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
