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 compact sedan. The Volt is a hatchback and only seats four. Its battery-pack makes it significantly heavier than the Cruze, but it makes up for it in instant electric torque and increased fuel economy.

Bodystyle: Four-door hatchback

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 in acceleration and handling tests. The two Chevys tie the figure-eight at 28.4 seconds and 0.59g -besting the Prius by 0.4 seconds. The Volt stops three feet shorter from 60 mph than the 226-pound lighter Malibu (119 feet and 122 feet, respectively) and beating the 376-pound lighter Volt by 12 feet. The Prius ties the Volt's 0.78g lateral grip. Ride and steering can feel disconnected at times.

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.

EPA Fuel Economy

Volt 1.4L I-4, 16 kWh Li-Ion battery pack: 35 mpg city (gas)/40 mpg highway (gas); 95 mpg city (electric equivalent)/93 mpg highway (electric equivalent)

NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles

Thu, Nov 27 2014

US safety regulators have closed a pair of investigations into some 500,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder sedans built between 2004 to 2007, and 100,000 Chevrolet Impala models from 2014. The Ford investigation focused on rusting heat shields, which may become dislodged and jam the steering, according to Reuters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that this happened very rarely. In fact, of the ten incidents filed with the government safety watchdog, six came from a single police department, which evidently had some sort of problem with its reporting. As for the Impala, the NHTSA investigators attributed two incidences of "unintended autonomous braking" to user error. In both cases, the vehicles were involved in rear-end collisions. According to GM investigators, it's believed that drivers accidentally activated the electric parking brake, causing the collisions. The vehicles in question were rental cars.

Chevy bringing updated Equinox to Chicago

Fri, Feb 6 2015

An updated Chevy Equinox will be revealed at next week's Chicago Auto Show, the automaker confirmed Friday in a press release. The debut of the updated, 2016 Equinox comes on the heels of the midsize crossover – pictured above in its current, 2015-model-year form – posting its best January sales month ever. No details have been released, but Chevy did send out the teaser image you see at right, showing an updated front fascia with new headlamps and LED running lights. This update for the Equinox can't come soon enough. The midsize crossover segment is huge right now, and Chevy's player has largely been unchanged since the second-generation Equinox debuted in 2009. When asked about when we might see a tweaked version of the GMC Terrain – the Equinox's sibling – a General Motors spokesperson could not confirm any specific timing. In any case, we'll bring you all the official details of the new Equinox when it shows its updated face, next week.
