2022 Chevy Bolt EUV First Drive Review: Bigger

[kafa88]

Chevy's new Bolt EUV strengthens itself with increased passenger space and ultra-smooth Super Cruise technology.No, the new Chevy Bolt EUV isn't any different from the standard Bolt EV hatchback.These twins are definitely more siblings than siblings. But something that sets Chevy's compact EV apart makes a significant difference. In fact, I'm not sure why you would buy a regular Bolt EV at all.Both bolts are on a common platform and use the same power transmission. Their updated exterior design is basically the same too, although Chevy says the Bolts don't use any sheet metal,

personally the slot xo EUV is less clunky than the previous Bolt's, with thin LEDs. The front, which doubles as a sequential turn signal, is complemented by the standard LED headlights below the svelte taillights flanking the Bowtie badge on the Bolt's hatch, although these only function as running lights. The opening is a brake light and a real flasher extends.More importantly, the EUV is 6.2 inches longer than the regular Bolt EV, with a 3.9 inches longer wheelbase.If you want to be finicky, the EUV is 0.2 inches tall and 0.2 inches wider than the smaller Bolt, but neither of these increases will make a difference.

Different tangible The only different factor is the EUV's roof side rail kit, even the 17-inch wheels you see are available on both models.One of the key benefits of the longer wheelbase is more rear legroom. The EUV offers an additional 3.1 inches of legroom for rear-seat riders, and with the flat floor of the EV architecture, there is plenty of room to stretch out. The Bolt's upright shape means it's also very roomy, although this has never been a problem with older cars. That said, the narrow stance will still cause you to rub your shoulders and elbows on your passengers from time to time, especially if you are, we'd say more carriages that turn.


Better cabs, friendlier technology.

Surprisingly, the larger Bolt EUV is smaller than the two in terms of carrying capacity, even if it's just the EUV.It has 16.3 cubic feet of rear-seat cargo space when upright, which expands to 56.9 cubic feet. If folded flat, the smaller Bolt EV has 16.6 and 57.0 cubic feet, respectively. Again, a little difference. And yet, the Bolt has more storage space than the Hyundai Kona Electric, Kia Niro EV and Nissan Leaf.The 2022 Bolt EV and EUV have beautiful interior updates, starting with an attractive dashboard and better materials throughout the cabin. Yes, there is still hard plastic on the doors and turn signals and the cheapest wiper arm I've ever tested - it will be GM -

but the seats are more comfortable, climate controls, easier to use and have. The new push-button electronic shifter on the push-ish-ish console - you pull the toggle for Reverse and Drive, which is weird.Unlike the older Bolt, which had a unique and somewhat confusing infotainment setup, the new EV has a 10.2-inch display running Chevrolet's excellent Infotainment 3 software. The interface gets high marks for its simple organized menus, crisp and colorful graphics, and fast input response.It supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wirelessly, and the Bolt EUV has a standard charging pad. In front of the cable changer Too much specific handle:

What is the redundant control button under the home button on the left side of the screen? This is way more difficult to use than tapping large icons clearly labeled, and I guarantee you will be mistaken for the volume buttons 75% of the time.The 8-inch digital gauge cluster is behind the EUV's redesigned (and flat bottom) steering wheel, but that's not the most important technology in front of the driver. Instead, check the LED light bar at the top of the wheel, that's right, this kiddos EV has a Super Cruise.
Chevy used wheels If the name doesn't automatically ring, the Super Cruise is General Motors' excellent hands-free driver assistance technology, debuted in the (deceased) Cadillac CT6 sedan.

The Super Cruise is offered on Chevrolet cars and runs on more than 200,000 miles of predefined highways across the United States and Canada.No, the Bolt EUV's version of the Super Cruise will not change lanes like on the new Cadillac Escalade, but this is a little separate technology. The Bolt EUV is out of the other electric cars, the only system that comes close is Tesla's Autopilot, which despite its name. But it could be anything In the Bolt EUV Super Cruise is a treat.Just set up the adaptive cruise control and hit the steering wheel icon.GM technology then takes over the steering, brake and accelerator inputs, with sensors built into the steering column to make sure you give.
