2022 CHEVY BOLT EV: BIG RANGE, BIG UTILITY, SMALL PRICE ($31,000)

EV Channels Review

The 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV and its SUV counterpart, the EUV, receive a significant redesign, focusing on updated styling, a more premium interior, and enhanced technology. The reviewer highlights the new fascia, LED lighting, and improved interior materials, including soft-touch plastics and available leather. Key upgrades include a larger 10.2-inch infotainment screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a configurable 8-inch digital gauge cluster. The reviewer praises the comfortable ride quality, excellent visibility, and the instantaneous torque characteristic of EVs, noting acceleration under seven seconds. The standout features are the impressive range (259 miles for EV, 247 for EUV) and the significant price drop, making it a strong value proposition. However, the controversial styling and the fact that it's front-wheel-drive only are noted as potential drawbacks. The reviewer concludes that the Bolt is an impressive and great value electric vehicle, building on its established foundation with meaningful improvements.
