Chevrolet Volt 2016 Specification

The Chevrolet Volt 2016 is an innovative plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) designed to offer both efficiency and versatility. It features a dual-motor drive unit that enhances acceleration and overall performance. The vehicle is powered by an 18.4 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, which provides an all-electric range of approximately 53 miles on a full charge. When the battery is depleted, a 1.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine activates, extending the range by an additional 367 miles, bringing the total range to about 420 miles.

The Volt 2016 utilizes an advanced regenerative braking system to recover energy during deceleration, which is then stored in the battery. This model also includes a new Regen on Demand feature, allowing drivers to control the regenerative braking system via a paddle on the steering wheel. The vehicle's charging system is compatible with both 120-volt and 240-volt outlets, with the latter enabling a full charge in approximately 4.5 hours.

Interior features of the Chevrolet Volt 2016 include a user-friendly infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, and a premium audio system. The vehicle accommodates five passengers and offers heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and available leather upholstery for added comfort.

Safety features are robust, including ten airbags, a rearview camera, and an array of available driver-assistance technologies such as forward collision alert, lane keep assist, and rear cross-traffic alert. The Chevrolet Volt 2016 demonstrates a commitment to sustainability without compromising on performance or comfort, making it an ideal choice for eco-conscious drivers.
