Glad to see GM committing commonly used functions to physical tactile controls to make operating them easier and help keep driving while operating them safer.
Also, great value at a price point approachable to more people. It’s what is needed to facilitate wider and faster adoption of EVs.
They can do without physical tactile controls. Its added cost and etc. Listen you must still be using a blackberry phone since you couldn't adapt to using todays smartphone touchscreens. Get with the times man, the times has changed.
@@dman357 you do you, I’ll do me. You don’t have to be an ass about it. Don’t buy this car then. Are you going to complain about the rear wiper too? Because it’s been a trend to not put one on to reduce cost.
But thank you for pointing out the real reason cars are made with all touch controls - they cost less money! It’s not because it looks more elegant, based upon the cluttered UI they design for the screens or the aesthetics of the styling. It’s great GM is investing some money in response to customers request versus cheaping out like many others!
Touch controls are fine for some things, but it’s proven they are highly distracting and make drivers less safe because you have to take your eyes and attention away from driving longer to operate them than dedicated tactile controls you can find by touch or a very quick glance.
@@dman357 Using my phone does not involve piloting a 2-3 ton mass down a road at 75mph. The more I can do by feel without having to take my eyes off the road the better.
These new EVs are sooo much better than Teslas its not even close
@@dman357 That's nice, I don't recall anyone asking you though. Stick with diving through multiple menus to change common things, the adults will stick with the higher cost items that work better.
Please use a mic or turn on closed caption. You have a deep voice and I can barely hear you.
Great first look! Thank you!
How is the back leg room area and how are the door handles? I like that they went with a manual charge door like all EVs should have. This is definitely an EV I am considering when my lease is up on my Kona EV.
How did you like your Kona?
@@hermanwooster8944 I love my Kona EV. The range is great since I leave it on the max level 3 regen breaking and drives smooth. The only thing I don’t like about it is it’s small size. Didn’t realize how small it was when I started my lease. Gets the job done but definitely want a bigger car or possibly a mid size pickup.
@@DoubleCTech Thanks for the update. I remember being surprised at the Kona's size when I first saw it in person -- it somehow seemed bigger to me online.
Can't open the door handles because it's a prototype
Great car but your video quality needs work.
This is one of the new vehicles I'm really looking forward to, as the new Blazer & Silverado are probably going to be a little outside of what I can justify. Really glad to see the push button drive modes not getting carried over, genuinely hate them. I am very glad to see that there will be some physical buttin/knobs for some of the frequently used features. Some things just work better as an analog interface & if it costs a little more do be it.
Could you do a side-by-side comparison breakdown with the Blazer EV?
Thanks! Looking forward to the car.
Sad that it doesn’t seem to have a trunk pass through or the ability to put only the middle rear seat down and leave the other 2 rear seats up. Great looking car though.
does the front passenger fold flat? the 60 40 split in the back is backwards.. why would you want the large seat behind the driver. duh.
Great job GM! Good size for most people. For Bolt EUV, it's size is a little small for most people to really want to have it. If it's a bit bigger, I think GM wouldn't have enough for 2022-2023 demands. GM gets the cars at the right time, but wrong size, everything is good good for the time/price just only a little bit smaller..
i can hear you just fine. i hate over powering audio with extra mics. Perfect Video thank you!
Do you know if in Canada it will still get the $10,000 rebate and some provinces?
It should be eligible for the federal $5k assuming GM applies for it. Not sure about the rules in your province. Here in MB we've got nothing.
BC gets 9k and then another 1k if you scrap your car, but trade in would be better value
Yes would be nice if it still applies here in New Brunswick may get $5,000 from the province and $5,000 from the Federal. If by the time vehicle comes out and they still have it for this vehicle.
This looks like a great car and thanks for the review. However, as John McEnroe would say ..."you cannot be serious"; a review without sitting in the rear and showing us the rear seat packaging, i.e., the room or, tight room?? What's up? No review complete without it. Thanks.
Just curious about this overview
Would have been nice to have opened the hood.
I’m looking for specs on the car. He says 3 inches wider than the bolt but how long is it? I read that it would be about the size of the current Blazer which is around 190 inches. Does anyone know if they have firm numbers yet? I think if they have a $30,000 base model that gets 250 mile range it would be amazing. I’d pay a lot more for bells and whistles and AWD but if they offer a lesser model for those who don’t care that much about all that stuff I think it would be popular. If the car is as big as I think it might be I don’t think their HP specs on the top model are quite where they should be to compete with other similar cars like the Ioniq 5 that has about 320 horsepower. I’m greedy for horsepower because these electric cars are heavy.
250 miles of range means the base model must have a 85-90kwh battery. I doubt a base model for 30k has such a big battery.
@@Scrap-press ? Should be able to do 250 miles with under 80kwh. Hyundai & Tesla do. They benchmarked both and its quite obvious
186" long/wheelbase 116................Paul
@@Scrap-press Base model battery is 70 kWh. Larger battery is 88 kWh.
@@bahamatodd yeah then forget about 250 miles of range w/ a 70kwh battery. 200 miles on a full charge is realistic.
250 miles with 88kwh battery is also realistic.
Didn't sit in the rear seat?
Should probably redo with voiceover and reupload. Also what's up with that metallic door slam, GM? Sounds like a 90's civic
Prototype
Love to have one. I also wanted the Maverick. The low pricing hype turned into a low inventory and jacked up prices over MSRP. I think the same thing will happen to the equinox ev.
Preorder dude
So what happens to the Bolt EUV? I mean the price at $33k and it has way less miles.
Bolt has longer range than the base model equinox
GM lowered the pricing of the Bolt EUV to $27,300 and the Bolt EV to $25,600. Equinox EV will start in the $30,000s with 300 miles of range.
@@justinsmith2598 but the problem is that is not 300 miles range at $30k, it's 250 miles at that price.
GM is actually making cars that will sell not promises
Not a fan of that steering wheel shifter. I'm guessing it will lock you out of reverse unless you're at full stop and whatnot, but I really like controlling the windshield wipers from that side.
Will it have V2G though…?
Some websites say yes. Vehicle-To-Grid and Vehicle-To-Load
Optional only on the the 3RS ( highest price :-/ ) trim level with a 19.2kw level 2 charger: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Equinox_EV
Can’t hear him and bro ain’t even show the back seats
In other videos, It shows two usb c ports back there and rear ventilation in the center console.
Are no reviewers going to show how the totally flush door handles work??????
Preproduction show car. Lots of stuff aren't to final design/spec. Hell the screens aren't even active at this point in the development.
Un, OMG, um… I lost count of how many “umm” and “uh” he used!
please dont have background music on and use a separate mike. Your speech is difficult to hear in places.
Background music was the venue, not put on in post. Sadly that's probably the best audio they could get considering the environment.
Wish they engineered a front trunk when they were designing it to give additional storage. :(
I rarely use mine in the Y.
Prefer more space in the passenger and main cargo areas. Frunks are over-rated.
The whole front trunk thing while neat is mostly a fad. A large % of people do not use it enough as has been seen over time.
Frunks are simply "911 Envy", people want them because they desire the "cache" of owning a Porsche but recognize they can't afford a Porsche. Porsche after all is where Tesla (Franz Von Holzhausen's surname is obviously German) stole the idea from in the first place.
Frunks are gimmicky, having all the mechanical and electrical components closer together (in the front) saves wiring and maintenance hassles, also weight distribution over FWD is better for winter. Also frees up a bit of extra space for storage in the back like GM has done is smarter.
Bolt so tiny. Just a little larger than
Mini Cooper. This is a bigger vehicle
COULDN'T help but notice when He slamed the door/Sounded like JUNK.....Hope demo only......Paul
It's a pre-production model, of course it's not going to be like that, he mentioned it
I don't believe that is 30k...that looks fully loaded
No he said this is the higher trim one
Yeah, good luck getting one for $30 k. Just like the $50k Vet is selling for $90k.
Infotainment is a step backwards from the Bolt.
Bolt's battery architecture becomes obsolete as soon as the Ultium vehicles hit the road. It's scheduled to sunset in 2024.
Will be interesting to see how many of their 3 Ultium models they can produce from the 40GWh of Ultium batteries GM will have available in 2024.
In 2024 they should have 3 Ultium battery factories up and running, with about 90GWh to 120GWh of capacity.
Um, Um, Um, Um....enough with all the Ums!
Yo wtf you whispering for
That is kind of dumb far as how you shift this vehicles gearing. I prefer the 2023 Bolt way of doing the shifting, easy to see the controls in front of me, and easy to do.
You say $30,000 dollars, but what is the exact pricing with that super cruise and what ever other options the vehicle has in the video.
You people are very misleading when it comes to pricing.
I want to know exact pricing of each model and what is standard and how much the options are.
Until then, I am going with the 2023 Bolt EV LT2. And I know all the pricing of the Bolt EV's
This video has too many unknowns at this time.
Ah...just like any other GM car. Most of the buttons and screens don't work...LOL!!
Please improve the sound quality, there are many similar videos and attention span of TH-cam viewers is not great
This looks like a promising car, but wow this is an unprofessional video. You really need to work on your audio solution so we can actually hear what you're saying. I would have appreciated a little bit more time with the walkaround too; there are videos from many other creators who went into much greater detail on this car compared to you.
But this is “NOT” a $30,000. Car!!!
Dear followers!! Don't let the beautiful pictures confuse you . Anyone who buys a new car from GENERAL Motors the chance you threw your money into the trash is very large. In this company there is no customer service, the company's management does not care at all, if you have a problem or a malfunction, you can only pray to God there is a chance that the help will come faster. GM is a very dangerous company, be careful and keep your money safe.!!!👎👎👎👎👎😬👎😬👎👎Share so more people don't get screwed.GM is a big bluff
GM will AGAIN GO BANKRUPT - they never paid back the first bailout - it’s a bloated company -
Why would GM continually have as an example these Cadillac EV commercials with a rapper music overlay themed when they are all sold out for 2023, (at a very low production number BTW) and the flag ship Cadillac EV they just announced with all the bells and whistles and its maxed out at only 300 mile of range goes for over $330K . The Hummer is one big giant joke as well, it can’t tow anything without losing half of its EV range. The Chevy BOLT cost GM and LG over $1billion dollars to replace all of the batteries in those clunkers SO FAR.
So it’s not a $30,000 car. It’s much more expensive and taxpayers already pay $8,000 to subsidize it.
I'm done with electric cars, I went back to gasoline because of all hassle associated with electric cars and trucks ! No more for me , I've learned my lesson and my " ELECTRIC CAR ANXIETY SYNDROME IS GONE " ... Happy days are here again !!
Very unprofessional. Couldn't hear s word!!!
For the love of god, US manufacturers, standardize your stalks! I get into any Japanese or Korean car, I know what the controls are. I get into any US car, and I have to relearn and find everything. This is terrible when I rent cars. I've actually put in my rental profiles to give me only Japanese or Korean cars so I don't have to relearn the controls.
Hideous
The blue color is not my favorite, reminds me of what the Guidos drove on their 80s Camaros.
This is hilarious "so the first look at the $30,000 vehicle but this one is trimmed just a little higher" But mentions no price point.
When rumors say the top trim dual motor larger battery will be 50-55k. 😂
So it's not really starting at just 30k, Chevy has hemmed n hawed at around a 30k starting price. 2 it doesn't even exist yet.
Order books aren't even open and production in Mexico is only planned to start from late 2023. No pre production builds have been made on an actual line. 🤔
I never expect much from you elektrek folks and I'm rarely disappointed either. Especially Fred hating on tesla. 😀
Electric cars are supposed to be cheaper because they have less parts 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
The cheaper part is less time with other breakdowns and maintenance. They will get cheaper overall as more and more are purchased. Just like original HD TV's in the early 2000's.
