The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt is priced below $30,000, but there are two things buyers should inspect carefully. In this AutoNetwork Advisor review, I examine the dashboard glare, piano-black interior trim, passenger space, charging options, comfort features, safety technology, and the value offered by its $29,990 MSRP.
This Summit White Bolt has a Jet Black interior with blue and gray accents. It offers good acceleration, a comfortable driver’s seat, easy entry and exit, good second-row legroom and headroom, and adequate rear storage space. Its NACS charging port provides access to compatible Tesla fast chargers, and the included dual-level charge cord allows home charging. I could charge it using a 220-volt outlet.
The Comfort Package includes an eight-way power driver’s seat adjuster, heated front seats, a heated and wrapped steering wheel, and an auto-dimming inside rearview mirror. Safety and driver-assistance features include Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Reverse Automatic Braking, Rear Park Assist, and an HD Rear Vision Camera.
Efficiency is rated at 134 MPGe city, 106 MPGe highway, and 120 MPGe combined.
Watch before visiting the dealership so you know what to inspect, what to test, and what questions to ask before spending your money.
