2019 Chevrolet Volt LT FWD Automatic

Model Highlights

At the heart of the Volt are two electric motors that power the front wheels. They combine to make 149 horsepower. The Volt keeps a 1.5L 4-cylinder 100-horsepower gasoline engine on board to keep the batteries charged. Unlike the previous generation Volt, the gasoline engine in the current iteration does not require premium fuel. Despite the Volt's strong fuel economy numbers, the car still turns in a very respectable 0-60 mph in 8.4 seconds. The Volt comes in two trim levels -- LT and Premier -- with both trims having just a whiff of luxury-car feel to them. The base LT trim comes with automatic climate control, power windows, an 8-inch color touchscreen, OnStar with built-in Wi-Fi hotspot technology, SiriusXM satellite radio, 17-inch wheels, LED headlights, taillights and daytime running lights and remote keyless entry. The Volt also features a clever smartphone projection system that uses the 8-inch screen in the dashboard to navigate various phone functions. Voice commands are also integrated into the system. The Premier trim adds leather seating to the mix but also comes with a Bose premium sound system, heated and powered folding outside mirrors, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, heated front seats, a parking assistance program and unique 17-inch wheels. Two packages are also available on the Premium trim -- the Driver Confidence Package and the Driver Confidence II Package. The Driver Confidence Package looks out behind the Volt, with a rear cross traffic alert system and a blind spot warning and lane change warning system. The Driver Confidence II Package adds to the Driver Confidence package with a forward collision alert system, a lane keep assist system, low speed automatic braking, adaptive cruise control, and intelligent headlights. All versions of the Volt come with traction control, stability control, anti-lock brakes, a rearview camera and OnStar's various suite of diagnostic and assistance programs.
