The Chevrolet Bolt EUV is the iPhone Max version of the Bolt. In this slightly larger package, you get slightly more space, more comfort and amenities, and the option of GM's hands-free Super Cruise driving assistance feature. The EUV trades a marginal amount of nimbleness for its gains, and it also costs a bit more, but we think it's worth it.

See All EV Insights

Driving range on a full battery is an EPA-estimated 247 miles, a little less than the smaller and lighter Bolt EV (259 miles). In our own Edmunds real-world range test, the EUV was able to travel 265 miles on a single charge. It's a decent amount of range, though some rivals such as the Kona Electric and Volkswagen ID.4 are capable of going even farther.

This year, Chevrolet adds a new Redline Edition package that gives the Bolt EUV a sportier appearance. Highlights include black 17-inch aluminum wheels, red accents on the wheels and side mirror caps, and black and red badges. With the Premier trim level, the Bolt EUV Redline Edition has black leather seats with red contrast stitching. The Redline Edition is available with black, white, or silver paint.

Otherwise, the only change is that the government's Inflation Reduction Act once again makes electric vehicles made by General Motors eligible for a federal income tax credit. GM previously lost the credit because it had reached the sales cap of 200,000 EV sales, but the IRA removes that cap and reinstates the credit to GM on January 1, 2023. However, restrictions apply to both vehicles and buyers, so be sure to check specific availability on or after that date.

edmunds TESTED

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

8.0/10

How does the Bolt EUV drive? We took the Bolt EUV to our test track and recorded a sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 7.1 seconds. This is a bit slower than the standard Bolt but respectably quick for an EV in this price range. It's easy to zip around town or get up to freeway speeds. Braking is smooth, and there's a one-pedal drive mode to take care of most of your daily slowing with regenerative braking. There's even an additional steering-wheel regen braking paddle if you want to maximize energy recuperation.

The Bolt EUV doesn't feel quite as nimble as some of the smaller EVs or as playful as the larger Ford Mustang Mach-E or Kia EV6. We suspect its front-wheel-drive layout puts a bit more demand on the front tires. But ultimately we don't think most people will notice or care, especially given how easy and low-effort the EUV is to drive on a daily basis. We'll take "easy" over "exciting" most days of the week.

Comfort

8.0/10

How comfortable is the Bolt EUV? The front seats have adequate cushioning, though we think they could use a little more thigh support. The EUV's ride quality is an improvement over that of the Bolt, which sometimes struggles to absorb pavement cracks and sharp-edged potholes. While we wouldn't call the EUV's ride cushy, it is adequately comfortable, and the cabin is pretty well insulated against noise.

The climate controls are straightforward to use and have redundant functions on the touchscreen and below the screen with physical buttons. The single-zone system reacts quickly, but it unfortunately lacks air vents for the rear passengers.

Build & Price

Interior

8.0/10

How’s the interior? The controls in the EUV are thoughtfully arranged, with handy volume and tuning knobs to the left of the touchscreen. The gear selector buttons take a moment to get used to, but they're mostly intuitive and save cabin space. The digital instrument panel is configurable to show key information such as battery information, driver efficiency and power output. We found it simple to settle in behind the wheel thanks to a height-adjustable driver's seat and a generously telescoping steering wheel, though we think more adjustments, like an extendable thigh cushion, are needed for complete comfort.

All of the doors open wide, and the roofline is decently tall. The rear seat cushion sits a bit high, so most adults will likely need to duck a bit when climbing in. The Bolt EUV has more legroom than you might expect, though the cabin is a bit narrow, and rear headroom may be tight for anyone over 6 feet. The available 360-degree camera system and digital rearview mirror help provide excellent outward visibility all around.

Technology

8.5/10

How’s the tech? Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, both with wireless connectivity, worked flawlessly in our tests. In-car navigation is an option for the EUV (unlike the standard Bolt). The touchscreen is big, responsive and easy to interact with. Our test Bolt EUV had two front USB ports (one regular and one USB-C), a wireless charger and two more ports for the rear passengers.

Our Premier trim EUV also had GM's Super Cruise package, which allows for advanced hands-free driving on many highways. While it's neat to see this kind of driving tech at this price point, we're not sure we'd opt into a $25-a-month subscription after the three-year Super Cruise trial ends.

Storage

7.5/10

How’s the storage? Considering its size, the Bolt EUV offers a good amount of space inside for small items. The front door pockets, center console and glovebox are adequate. There's also a plus-sized-phone cubbie with a wireless charger in front of the gear selector and an open space for a handbag or something of similar size under the center console.

At 16.3 cubic feet behind the rear seats, the cargo area is smaller than the competition. But it's useful, and it also has a floor panel that provides hidden storage or can be dropped down a level to carry bulkier items. The seats split and fold flat with the floor panel in its highest position. The EUV also works out pretty well for family taxi duty. The car seat anchors for child safety seats are easy to locate, and there are top tethers on all three rear seat positions. The rear doors open wide enough to fit bulky rear-facing seats, and the extra legroom in the EUV is a plus.

Range and Efficiency

8.0/10

How are the range and efficiency? The EPA estimates the Bolt can travel 247 miles on a single charge. It's also estimated to return 100 miles for every 29 kWh of electricity used. In Edmunds' real-world EV range testing, the Bolt EUV was able to travel 265 miles on a single charge at a slightly more efficient 26.7 kWh per 100 miles. It's a respectable result, though many other EVs can go farther.

The Bolt comes with an upgraded dual-level charge cord, which allows you to swap between Level 1 (120-volt) and Level 2 (240-volt) charging. However, to make full use of the new Bolt's more powerful 11-kW onboard charger (previously it was 7.7 kW), you'll need dedicated wall-charging hardware since the included cord maxes out at 7.2 kW. It has a max DC fast-charging rate of 55 kW, which is a lot slower than most new EVs. You'll have to wait around longer to charge, which is a bummer on a road trip.

Value

8.0/10

Is the Bolt EUV a good value? Chevrolet gave the 2022 Bolt a face-lift when it introduced the Bolt EUV, and both models feel substantially more upscale than the previous generation. Upgraded interior materials, cushier padding and more features help make the Bolt line feel more modern. Now that Chevy's EVs qualify for the $7,500 federal tax credit again, the EUV is potentially a strong value buy.

The EUV's basic warranty of three years/36,000 miles and battery warranty of eight years/100,000 miles are pretty typical. Roadside assistance lasts for five years/60,000 miles, which ain't shabby, and free maintenance lasts for 24,000 miles. Most new EVs offer some sort of free public DC fast-charging benefit, but this is not the case with the Bolt.

Wildcard

8.0/10

The Bolt EUV's proportions and styling make it look a little more cohesive than the original Bolt. Relative to much of its competition, we think it's one of the better-looking options. Pair that with its updated interior and you have a very strong case for the EUV over its competition.

But the EUV's larger proportions do come with a slight penalty in speed and agility. While it's still swift by today's standards, smaller EVs feel just a little more nimble around town and fun to whip around. The EUV's fun and entertainment come more from maximizing efficiency.

Which Bolt EUV does Edmunds recommend?

The Bolt EUV offers a winning combination of price, driving range and practicality, so to preserve its inherent value we recommend the base LT trim level. The Redline Edition package adds an appealing look, the Driver Confidence package installs blind-spot warning and rear cross-traffic warning systems, and the Comfort package supplies heated front seats and a heated steering wheel.

2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV Premier 4dr Hatchback (electric DD)

Throughout 2022 I was looking for an EV to replace my aging 2014 Mercedes B-Class electric. Other than a short range of 85 miles and 2014-era infotainment this was the perfect car. Any replacement had to meet it's specs, specifically a small hatchback that was on the tall side with space for rear passengers and 50+ cf of cargo with those rear seats down. I was hoping to match the luxury … feel too. I tried not to let price affect my shopping, but realistically $65k was probably the limit. Tesla Model 3, not a hatchback, limited cargo space; Tesla model Y, too long and wide; Mustang Mach-E was still too big, but closer. The Audi E-tron I test drove was slow and was very big. The Volvo C40 Recharge had tiny rear doors and a small unimpressive Infotainment screen. The RWD VW ID.4 was very slow and I read a lot about the software issues. (The AWD version wasn't available when I went for my test drive.) Hyundai Ioniq 5 was ugly and seemed to be all style over function, plus getting one was impossible. Kia Nero and Hyundai Kona were never sold in N.C. I even considered the Jaguar I-pace but getting into the rear seats is very acrobatic and Jaguar seems to have lost interest in supporting it. The Mini-E was too short range. I did not look at BMW's. The Mercedes EQB was not out yet. Which brings me to the Bolt. I had had a 2018 Volt so I knew the infotainment was simple and reliable. The 10.2" screen was taller and seemed bigger than others with a bigger diagonal measurement, like the Ioniq 5. Apple CarPlay was just about a must-have, being wireless was a bonus. The dashboard is really good-looking. Performance is brisk, range is 250+ miles, reviewers complained about slow DC fast charging, but I won't be taking many road trips. The price for the top-trim 2022 model I tried to order from the factory was $44k, but they didn't want to make any more 2022's with Super Cruise. By the time production of 2023's began the price had dropped to $38k (no incentives or rebates available), making it a super bargain. Downsides? Boring exterior styling is a baldfaced copy of a bunch of other similar sized SUV-wannabes. Even the top-trim seats lack adequate lumbar support, but a strategically placed pad fixed that, otherwise it would be a deal-breaker. The open sunroof is noisy, like all such sunroofs. Unexpected upsides? Storage beneath the rear cargo floor is really excellent. I average 4.2 miles per kWh in mild weather, very efficient. Super Cruise works great, and is much more confidence inspiring than Tesla Auto Pilot. Even though SC only works on select interstates, that's where I want it most. The overhead camera view is incredibly useful. You gets lots of light through the panoramic roof glass and the power window shade gives you the best of both worlds. Not sure if it's the tires or what but this is the quietest car I've ever had, smooth riding too. So at 3400 miles and three months of ownership I am still delighted with my purchase. We drive the Bolt over my wife's Tesla Model X most of the time. You can't beat the X for huge cargo volume and the Tesla charging network, but for driving and parking in town it's the Bolt hands down.

So far I love my Bolt EUV

Outstanding little car, perfect for my 80 miles of commuting a day. The super cruise is awesome and as scary as it was at first it was proven to be equally adept. I would recommend this car to those that can charge at home.

Understand Its limitations and you’ll be happy

“Grandpa” Len, 03/24/2023

2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV LT 4dr Hatchback (electric DD)

This is my fifth EV; Nissan Leaf, BMW i3 & i3 Rex, Tesla 3 LR RWD, Bolt EUV. If you drive long distances and require regular charging on public charging networks (EVGO, ChargePoint, Electrify America) this IS NOT the car for you. The Bolt EUV is older technology and is limited to 55KW Superchargers, far slower than more modern technology. If you need quick, reliable readily available … Superchargers your ONLY choice is Tesla. The rest are very early in the installation/maintenance learning curve and you’ll be frustrated if you rely on them. If you don’t have access to a Home Level 2 charger you may want to skip ANY EV if you want a car that will go anywhere, anytime without thinking about it, especially if you must rely on a standard 120 outlet to charge. ANY EV will be highly limited without the proper charging tools. A hybrid/plug in hybrid is a FAR better choice. Getting back to the EUV, let’s put it in context. The Nissan Leaf I owned came out in 2014 with an 80 mile range on a 24KW battery and a slow 3.3KH charger. It was built on a gas car body, converted for EV use. It was a “first effort” car, meaning buyers knew there were compromises in the design and execution. I enjoyed being a pioneer, but as a car it wasn’t really usable. In cold weather realistic range was 60 miles or less. It accelerated to 60 in over 11 seconds, a marginally acceptable level for city driving. The car was leased and heavily subsidized by Nissan, with a list price in the high $30,000 level. I moved to the BMW i3 BEV (battery only power) with a stated range of 82 miles. It was better built than the Leaf, fun to drive, used new “cutting edge” production engineering and design. The battery was larger than the Leaf and it would accelerate to 60 in a bit over 7 seconds - good enough for city driving without issue, and mostly OK for highway use. The downfall of this car was the stated range was vastly overstated. I normally got 50-60 miles range in most instances, and under 50 in cold weather. The car’s sticker price was $52,000 with the options I ordered,BMW agreed to take it back in trade toward a i3 REX, the same basic car with an auxiliary 2 cylinder gas engine and a 2 gallon fuel tank. The idea was to have the gas engine charge the battery to extend the original range, which was 76 miles or so, due to the heavier gas engine. That car also suffered from poor EV range, and the gas engine was limited to about 60 miles additional range, limited by a 2 gallon tank. The small tank was required to qualify for the EV tax credit - the battery rating had to be greater than the gas engine range boost. It was not practical and the gas engine was a BMW scooter design, with lots of problems with overheating during my ownership. I then decided to get a Tesla, which had very long wait times when I bought my other EVs. The 2018 Model 3 only had RWD when I bought it, a 300+ rated range, and drove like a sports car. 0-60 speed was a bit over 5 seconds and I very much enjoyed the car’s unique features. I had some minor issues with the car, but overall my nearly 2 years with the car were fine. Tesla was without peer competition at that time. The charging network was, and still is, the best in the world. Over the air updates were free and frequent. So why did I sell it? My wife bought a 2021 BMW 330e, a plug in hybrid with a very small EV only range - about 22 miles. Despite the very short range, for our typical use that range meets most of her daily driving needs. The biggest difference was that the BMW is a far better CAR than the Tesla. Fit and finish are far better than Tesla, road noise is FAR better than Tesla on ALL road conditions. I realized how noisy and uncomfortable the Tesla suspension is in comparison and decided to move on. I will buy another Tesla if the upgrade the CAR aspects of their line, and I am on a wait list for the CyberTeuck. NOW we can talk about the Bolt EUV. Compared to EVs of only a few years ago the EUV is EXCELLENT. It’s quieter than the Tesla, and all the other EVs I’ve owned, and drives VERY smoothly. This isn’t talked about much, but it should be. GM may be building an entry level EV with the Bolt, but it rides very well. Again, the frame of reference is an everyday gas powered car. The ride is “mellow”, not harsh or pretending to be a performance sports car. Just a gentle, calm, quiet ride on all roads. The hatchback is well done too. The rear deck level is high enough to be very easy to put things into and remove from the car without bending. Some review say the storage space isn’t very large - it’s not compared to an Escalade, but compared to compact hatches/SUVs it’s fine. The seats also fold in a 60/40 split, adding plenty of room when needed. It fits in compact parking spots easily. The best part is the range. Driven in town at sub 50MPH speeds I regularly get 280+ miles from a charge. Order the comfort and driver confidence packages, a combined $1400 upgrade, and you’ll have a wide array of features that you’ll use every day. The ONLY downside is the slow DC charging, as I noted at the start. Compare the EUV to anything else and you’ll have a hard time passing it up. It’s also likely that in the coming years technology will improve all EVs, just like computers, so wait until then before you buy a high priced EV. Reread my Leaf/i3/Tesla comments for perspective before buying any EV. Final point - driving an EV is VERY different from a gas car. Pick-up and passing power is instantaneous. The 200 HP UEV rating accelerates like a 300+ HP turbo charged sports car. Passing is easy, it the ride is gentle and quiet. Give it a try, regardless of what brand you buy I think you’ll be pleased. If the DC charger were faster I’d give this car FIVE STARS without hesitation. The slow charger may mean that you will need/want a second car for long and frequent road trips. Having that limitation makes it a FOUR STAR rating.

Superb Commuter

2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV Premier 4dr Hatchback (electric DD)

This is a lot of car for the price, a Premier EUV is comparable in features to a Honda CR-V EX-L and comes in at $1000 less. It's much quicker and more fun to drive, and the cost to operate is a lot less. As long as you don't need it for road trips, I don't know of a SUV that's a better value both short and longterm.

Choosing between the Bolt EUV and Kona Electric largely comes down to style preference and price. You'll pay more for the Hyundai, but you'll get more with the Chevrolet. The Kona Electric offers slightly better driving range, ground clearance and trunk space, but the Bolt EUV comes with added rear legroom and a larger maximum cargo volume. Hyundai offers a generous trial subscription to connected services, but Chevrolet pays for a basic 240-volt outlet installation at your home. Each offers strong value in an affordable EV, but only the Chevy offers a hands-free semi-automated driving system.

Chevrolet Bolt EUV vs. Nissan LEAF

Nissan squandered its first-mover position in the affordable EV segment and now, more than a decade after the first Leaf went on sale, the five-passenger hatchback is outclassed by most electric vehicles. Compared to the Bolt EUV, the Leaf offers more trunk space, but that's about it. The price is higher, the driving range is lower, and the Leaf's underpinnings date back to the original model. Plus, it requires a CHAdeMO charger, and the world is standardizing around CCS. Get the Chevy.
