2017 CHEVROLET VOLT ANDROID
Standard features on the LT include Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, two USB ports, and a mobile hotspot, proximity entry with push-button start, and single-zone automatic climate control. But that option also bloats the bottom line, so we'd skip it. The Premier model adds a better audio system, heated front and outboard rear leather seats, and a heated steering wheel, among other features. The base Volt LT is already comprehensively equipped and comes with this car's most important standard feature: 53 miles of guilt-free driving on electricity alone. Other enhancements include improved driver-assistance features and more interior options. Every model receives a new higher-definition 8.0-inch touchscreen powered by the company's latest Infotainment 3 system. The Volt's heating system is revised so that the engine can now automatically kick on at lower temperatures, which increases all-electric range in colder climates.
2017 CHEVROLET VOLT DRIVERS
Its regenerative-braking system is refined so that drivers can use the brake pedal less when driving in Low mode or using the paddle on the steering wheel. The Volt receives a handful of meaningful updates for 2019, including a newly available built-in charger that cuts charging time nearly in half.
While the hybrid hatchback has some flaws-such as a mediocre interior with a cramped back seat-it continues to be an exceptional hybrid and an excellent car. The Chevy also boasts a satisfying driving experience, with prompt acceleration and solid handling. Unlike many plug-in hybrids that have about 20 miles or less of electric-only range, the Volt can travel up to 53 miles before its gasoline engine fires up. Its understated styling doesn't draw attention the way some electrified alternatives do (such as the Toyota Prius or the Toyota Prius Prime), but instead assimilates with mainstream cars. The Chevrolet Volt remains one of the best plug-in hybrids on the market, with impressive all-electric range and everyday practicality.
