New Vehicles \ Chevy Volt
The annual award by Motor Trend magazine is one of the most prestigious honors bestowed in the auto industry and further proof that it's a new day for Chevrolet, not to mention the entire auto industry.
Thoughtful efficiency
By its very nature, the all-new Volt is engineered to change the face of transportation as we know it. Nearly every component fo the Volt has been selected to get the most out of every charge, including:
- Aerodynamics that maximize the distance per charge and miles per gallow of fuel
- A closed grille and aerodynamic back edges contribute to its fuel efficiency
- Energy-efficient Bose® Sound System
- Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max tire
The dashboard re-imagined
The Volt has two LCD screens that display speed, battery power, range to recharge or re-fill as well as an effciency gauge that gives you real-time feedback. On the center console you'll find a seven-inch diagonal high-resolution screen with touch-sensitive control that helps you get the most out of your Volt.
More power from a superior battery
The Volt battery has gone through numerous environment-specific tests, including corrosion and hot- and cold- weather testing and the results were so promising that the 16-kWh lithium-ion battery pack is backed by an 100,00 mile/8-year warranty.
- Here are a few more notes on the battery:
Just plug it in to charge the battery, and most people can commute gas-free and tailpipe emissions-free for about $1.50 of electricity per day.
- A small, quiet on-board gas generator creates electricity that powers your Volt as you drive for hundreds of miles on battery and gas power.
- Lithium-ion cells outperform nickel metal hydride cells (found in today's hybrids) in terms of life cycle
- A liquid thermal cooling and heating system keeps the battery at a comfortable temperature as it's being charged and discharged.
Making the future safer
Volt drivers and passengers will be wrapped in a cocoon of standard safety. With eight air bags ready to deploy in an emergency, it's ofvious safety is of the highest priority. Joining this built-in safety is an unprecedented five-year subscription to OnStar's Directions and Connections Plan including Automatic Crash Response. In the event of a collision, built-in sensors can automatically alert an OnStar Advisor, who is immediately connected into your vehicle to see if you need help sent to your exact location - even if you can't respond.
