2017 Chevrolet Bolt
The 2016 CES is proving to be a
popular platform for automakers, with GM choosing the Las Vegas consumer
electronics show for the world premiere of the production 2016 Chevrolet Bolt.
You could call the all-electric Bolt America’s
answer to the BMW i3 at a much lower price tag, as GM has previously said that
it will be priced under US$ 30,000 after federal tax credits when it goes on sale
in the USA before the end of 2016.
The production car remains true
to last year’s concept model gaining a bit of height for improved passenger
space and a more mainstream-friendly interpretation of the study’s face with
less aggressive headlamps and a dual grille.
While most details are likely being
withheld for next week’s Detroit show, GM said that the Bolt will offer more
than 200 miles (+ 320 km) of range on a full charge. It will also feature advanced
connectivity technologies “that make owning a long-range electric vehicle
easy”, such as a navigation system that shows routes that maximize range and
provides locations of nearby charging stations.
