I really like the outside and inside appearance of this car better then the Bolt. I wish they would have made this car with the 200 mile fully electric range instead of the Bolt. Just not fan of the Chevy Bolts body style.
I agree, seems that every time they come up with an electric vehicle(Tesla exception) they want to make them look like a bug or something. Why not make them sporty or elegant so you sell them.
The Prius is 10 seconds to 60 mph, and the Volt can do it in 7.7. That is a huge difference. The car actually has to accelerate well to handle well, so I don't think the Prius gets to say it handles. It's obvious how this car is driven in this video that it handles well and is fun to drive. I have 121 mpg lifetime average on my 2014 Volt. It has 58,000 miles on it. Completely flawless vehicle. It's been to the dealer for two oil changes since I purchased it 2.5 years ago. There is really no service for this car if you drive mostly electric. My gas motor probably has 5,000 miles on it. My battery range is 42-44 miles per charge. I would expect 60 miles per charge in a 2016 Volt. Oh, and I don't drive like a Prius driver. I constantly blow every car off the line at every light. They say road and track clocked the 2016 Volt at 2.3 sec to 30 mph. That is faster than a 2013 Tesla p85. Totally fast car off the line with all the torque at 0 rpm. Like a fighter jet on a catapult.
The reason why the mk4 Prius feels more buttoned down is due to its rear suspension setup. Prior mk1 Volt & mk3 Prius both used a Torsion beam semi-independent rear suspension. The mk2 Volt carries over as it is based on the GM Delta 2 platform which underpins the Cruze which probably GM picked to use a Torsion beam as a cost saving measure. Toyota opted the mk4 Prius to use the TNGA platform which underpins larger products in the future, using a more expensive & better handling independent multi-link setup at the rear. I haven't driven either the Prius or Volt, but I think this is the main contributing factor.
GM made the electric busses for Detroit in the 50s so they know how to do it. I know one of these would be perfect for me. Round trip to work is 38 miles and we have 4 charging stations.
Hey just wanted to tell you this was a great review. I bought a 2017 volt last week and I your review is what got me interested in it. I love to drive fast and I was worried this car would be a dog but MAN is it fun to drive! Seeing you ripping around in the video convinced me to go test drive...... Fast, tons of torque and quiet! Thanks!
Thanks for this video review. I just ordered one from the factory 2 days ago (May 1st/2017). It will be here in 6 to 8 weeks. I'm hoping to pull some serious MPGs out of it. I chose the Volt over the Prime because it gets twice the miles out of a charge. Anyway... Thumbs up! = )
Remember that movie: 'Why did they kill the electric car?' ? Well, imagine you were able to go back in time and buy one of those electric cars? YOU CAN, here it is, made just for you to buy. Get one before they stop production in 3 years time.
Thanks for the first person perspective. I was wondering what it would look like inside while driving the Gen 2 Volt. Hopefully GM advertises it a little more so more people are aware of its existence.
Another fantastic video, but just wanted to ask you if I may, what do you have to do, to be able to prettty much stay on the batteries and not touch the gas engine, and secondly, I see how the ring on the outside ghoes from yellow to green, taking a guess when it is green that means you are just using the batteries right, and then when it turns to yellow, it means that the gas engine is kicking in>>>> ]
I would not consider a new car that didn't include CarPlay or Android Auto. The new Volt looks great and has tech that should last well into the future.
I love this car. It's pretty practical for your everyday driving routine. I was wondering if you could show how to drive manual, cause I don't understand when you go down gears. Thanks!!!!
43 miles on a charge seems low. I get that in my 2014 volt. The way you drive definitely affected your range and you mentioned it was cold. You must have been using the heater.
An electric car you DON'T have to worry about running out of juice in the middle of nowhere. And now with a half-decent range, and a NORMAL LOOKING DASH also (with knobs and buttons, instead of touch-pads like the previous Volt). You know, I can actually see myself driving one, it is now a NORMAL car.
Prius more sporty?? You are kidding right? The new Volt crushes the prius for the money and the lease options are crazy. You can get a Volt with no money down for around $285.00 a month
+ClubbySuperCharged It's a wheelchair accessible van. I believe they jack up the rear suspension so they can fit the machinery for the wheelchair lift inside and underneath the van.

looks like if you want the sedan/hatch design with that range you need to wait for the Buick regal electric.
My new dream car!!

I really appreciate what you guys do! Keep up the great work fellas!!!
from my screen I'm already in love with this car
When I'm hunting for reviews of a car and realize the people I work with make the best ones =)
Tedward I still want one of these.
Can't believe I'm saying this but it seems pretty cool
I love this channel so much

That interior looks sexy...we are in the future
Yes! Talking review again. Thank you!!!!
I saw one of these the other day and thought it was a civic! When I saw it was a volt I was impressed

i really like how you guys started talking

The interior looks good !
Nice video gave a good idea how fast the volt accelerates!
the best youtube channel!! make more bmw pov driving please!!
thanks dude
Great work guys!!
Any thoughts on the Bose system? Electric cars make for good listening cars due to the minimum background noise.
That’s good I’m a big music while I drive kinda guy
Oh my god he speaks!
I love these reviews

theyvmade a sequel that talks about electric cars comming back. can't remember the name of it tho
U guessed it... they cancelled the volt
More reviews like this plz!
Felt a sense of Deja-Vu a few minutes in -- realized that I know exactly where you are lol.
Thanks for the first person perspective. I was wondering what it would look like inside while driving the Gen 2 Volt. Hopefully GM advertises it a little more so more people are aware of its existence.
Could you review the Malibu 2.0T?
that boot space though!
The last gens engine turns on in off randomly to cycle the Gasoline in the fuel lines.
I feel like it would smell like Barnes & Noble in there
exactly right, anyone who drives this is a bitch
@@raccooneggs9883 jesus christ 😭
@@raccooneggs9883 no one cares that u can drive a manual dude, your anything but cool
Helpful stuff. Thank you.
nice video :) if i may ask, which do you prefer 2 doors or 4 doors?

What was the rough sound? Did he rub the bottom of the car against the asphalt? 3:30

Please make more videos with comments)

Cool car, I'm looking forward ordering it in US because it is inaccessible on EU market. What the price in US on top set is?
Here's an after thought... They should incorporate solar panels onto it somehow so it can regenerate during sunlight hours. Call me crazy..
+sn00ch wouldn''t even be enough to charge the stereo :)
+igrenade Yup. Indeed. Thx ;-)

i understand 2016 volts weren't as readily available as other years.
you should do 2016 Chevy 2500hd
the camera makes the volt looks like whale XD lolololol

It does drive more sporty and less relaxing. Drive one buddy. He's not lying.
I don't want to drive one. Have my Volt on order.
+igrenade not pretending I have a 2013 volt and have a 2017 on order.
WTF at 3:04 ? This is not a Raceway... And what was the sound ?
7:23 E-Vtec?
What's with the minivan @4:48 ?
+ClubbySuperCharged It's a wheelchair accessible van. I believe they jack up the rear suspension so they can fit the machinery for the wheelchair lift inside and underneath the van.
bokkey45 Ahh, I see. Thanks for the clarification.
Looks like a Civic from the back.
But it does looks miles way better than civic
I want to go electric with my next car. This won’t be for a few years. What shall I chose?
Can it Spontaneously combust by itself?
I like
So this car is only for Apple users? 15:30
it might have android auto aswell
+larry Spiller It does for 2017 and 2016s can be updated for it.
Cory Stansbury thanks.. I'm not getting a car that requires me to use a specific phone :)... That would be very Apple-esque
I just ordered mine today :)
lol he can talk
Chevy volt sounds better than BMW i3 REx
your video make me sleep
is it me or this guy seems hot
хули так медленно???

My dodge dart gets 40mpg on the highway...
until the transmission starts having issues and it begins struggling to get 32
