2013 Chevrolet Volt Base Hatchback 4-door 1.4l on 2040-cars
Warren, Michigan, United States
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.

2016 Chevy Volt to make auto show debut this season
Wed, Jul 30 2014Ever since we saw that spy shots of the 2016 Chevy Volt, we've been hungering for more information on the next-gen version of GM's green halo car. It appears we might not have long to wait, at least for an official tease. An inside source that wishes to remain anonymous told AutoblogGreen that GM will make two announcements regarding the second-gen Volt at the CAR Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City, MI next week. The first, and most intriguing, is that that we will get our first glimpse of the new Volt at some point during the upcoming auto show season. That means either Los Angeles later this year or else Detroit, Chicago or New York in early 2015. The second bit of news is that GM will be moving production of the electric motors from Mexico to Michigan. Details and official confirmation are, of course, missing and Chevrolet declined comment to AutoblogGreen. We should know more next week.
Watch a 2015 Corvette Z06 run the quarter in 11.7 seconds
Sun, Dec 28 2014We're not writing about this because it's an amazing run, we're writing about it because it appears to be the first run. Someone took a 2015 Corvette Z06 to Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown, Texas and blasted it down through the quarter mile. It's still wearing the dealer number in wax pen on the windshield and dealer plates, so this example is fresh from the mold. It's also a seven-speed manual. General Motors said the row-your-own Z06 can do the 'strip in 11.2 seconds, and they undoubtedly had a professional driver and more than one run to set that time. To have Just Some Guy show up at the raceway and do an 11.7 at 120.54 mph on his first run means we expect good things to come as Z06s get delivered to their owners. Check out the run in the video.
2016 Chevy Volt sneak peek at CES
Mon, Jan 5 2015Here it is, folks – your first real glimpse at the 2016 Chevrolet Volt. The gasoline-electric sedan will officially debut at the Detroit Auto Show next week, but Chevy gave us a sneak peek of its redesigned Volt at a media event in Las Vegas late Sunday, as part of its CES festivities. There isn't a ton to see here, and sorry about the low quality video (and for us not standing front and center during the reveal). But we can clearly see the car's redesigned front fascia – something recently previewed at a fan event in Los Angeles. For another view, check out a high-res photo of the new Volt from our friends at The Verge, here. Chevy even tweeted a photo of the Volt's new nose on its official Volt Twitter account, which you can see below. The automaker didn't divulge any details about its new Volt, but we already know quite a bit. For starters, the Volt will use a new, 1.5-liter gasoline engine and won't require premium fuel. It'll have more EV range and a bigger battery, too. We'll have a whole mess of information when the 2016 Volt is fully revealed in Detroit in about one week's time. In the meantime, here are some more looks at the Volt, courtesy of the Twitterverse. We're so excited about #NextGenVolt we brought it out early at #CES2015! Full details on 1/12 at #NAIAS. pic.twitter.com/hPCbTFGSV4 - Chevrolet Volt (@ChevyVolt) January 5, 2015 Take a look at the new Chevy Volt http://t.co/laCvWLRMXk pic.twitter.com/uOzRh5XCrP - Engadget (@engadget) January 5, 2015 The very first look at the 2016 Chevy Volt doesn't disappoint: http://t.co/PM0HcnyQOo pic.twitter.com/WFtoyd0utH - Gizmodo (@Gizmodo) January 5, 2015 Chevy just gave @Tim_Stevens a very quick look at the next-gen Volt at #CES2015. #CNETatCES http://t.co/3n6EK1yOrC pic.twitter.com/7KDYh0VSg0 - CNET (@CNET) January 5, 2015 Related Gallery 2016 Chevy Volt at CES Related Gallery 2016 Chevrolet Volt Teaser Images Green CES Detroit Auto Show Chevrolet GM Alternative Fuels Green Automakers Electric Hybrid Videos Sedan 2015 Detroit Auto Show CES 2015
