Volt Design

By its very nature, Volt is engineered to change the face of transportation as we know it. Nearly every component of Volt has been selected to get the most out of every charge, including:

• Aerodynamics that maximize the distance per charge and miles per gallon of fuel

• A closed grille and aerodynamic back edges that contribute to its fuel efficiency

• Energy-efficient Bose® Sound System

• Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max tires

Many of the design cues from the concept vehicle endure in the production Volt, including the closed front grille, athletic stance, rear design graphics, outside rearview mirrors and more. The Volt’s rounded and flush front fascia, tapered corners and grille are functional, enabling air to move easily around the car. In the rear, sharp edges and a carefully designed spoiler allow the air to flow off and away quickly. An aggressive rake on the windshield and back glass help reduce turbulence and drag. Working closely with GM aerodynamicists to shape the Volt, design and engineering teams developed one of the most aerodynamic vehicles in GM’s history. They spent hundreds of hours with the Volt in GM’s wind tunnel, testing and re-testing parts such as the front and rear quarter panels, rear spoiler, rockers and side mirrors. Aerodynamic improvements enabled GM to reach the Volt’s target of driving up to 40 miles (based on EPA city cycle) without using gasoline or producing emissions.

INTERIOR

Inside, the Volt offers the space, comfort, convenience and safety features that customers expect in a four-passenger sedan, and it delivers them in a variety of interior color, lighting and trim options unlike any offered before on a Chevrolet sedan.

Modern controls and attractive materials, two informational displays, and a touch-sensitive infotainment center with integrated shifter distinguish the Volt’s interior from other vehicles in the market.Volt has two LCD screens that display speed, battery power, range to recharge or re-fill as well as an efficiency gauge that gives you real-time feedback. On the center console you'll find a seven-inch diagonal high-resolution screen with touch-sensitive control that helps you get the most out of your Volt.

“We’ve designed the Volt to have best-in-class quality, outstanding presence, premium features throughout, and an interior that’s second-to-none” - Andrew Farah, Vehicle Chief Engineer

Inside, the Chevrolet Volt exceeds expectations of space, comfort, convenience and equipment – including an industry first touch-sensitive infotainment system on the centre console. And it delivers them in a variety of interior colours, lighting and trim options. Here are some more of the highlights that set the Volt apart

Some of Volt’s interior technological features include:

• High resolution 7” full colour reconfigurable LCD instrument cluster display

• High-resolution 7” full colour centre console-mounted touchscreen display typically seen on high-end luxury vehicles

• Navigation radio with 60GB hard disk drive with DVD, MP3 playback, music/movie/media storage and RDS

• Bluetooth music streaming and hands-free phone operation Bose high-efficiency stereo designed specifically for Volt to deliver the kind of world-class audio-acoustics expected from

• Bose, with minimum energy consumption, 6 speakers and sub-woofer

• Keyless ignition with intuitive pulsating power button and audio feedback/chirp

• Automatic climate control with humidity sensor

• Remote vehicle starter system to allow for a pre-cooled or pre-heated cabin (including the heated seats - an industry first)
