#2019 CHEVROLET VOLT PREMIER REVIEW UPGRADE#
One notable upgrade this year is the Volt's newly optional 7.2-kWh onboard charger. It accelerates quickly, brakes well and even handles well on curvy back roads. The Volt is also surprisingly good to drive. Fill it up with gas, drive until you run out, then fill it up again and keep on moving. The Volt is the best bargain in the US, and worth much more than any Prius or Honda Insight, yet cost less.Īfter that, it's like any other hybrid on the road.

We don’t let him drive the Tesla because he doesn’t know how to handle a car that is four times faster from 0-60 or 0-100 than a Prius, and can reach speeds of 162 mph. My son drives the Prius now and constantly asks to drive the Volt. The Tesla has incredible performance for a sedan but costs twice as much as the Volt. Overall the Chevy Volt is worth $10k-15k more than any Prius, yet costs less because of better tax incentives, and is much more fun to drive.

While safety features of the Volt are impressive, the Tesla autopilot reduces driver workload significantly as long as you aren’t weaving through heavy traffic like a lunatic. The Tesla performance is on another level all together with 0-60 times 50% faster than a Mustang GT HO V8 and faster than a stock 2019 Corvette, and seats four 6’5” people comfortably. We average 120 mpg equivalent on battery when we actually pay to charge which is only 50% of the time and 48 mpg on the gas engine which is used less that 20% of the time. Most places we go have all free electric charging at work, Cisco, and public parking garages have free charging in Monterey. We have the higher voltage 230v charger in the garage so we only pay $1.52 for 60 miles of driving. After the $7500 dollar Fed tax credit the total cost is $25.7k for twice the car the Prius is. Already received the $800 PG&E rebate and the $1500 state credit check. The Volt was MSRP was $41.5k, but the dealer took $6k off the price so it was $35.5 out the door. At 70 mph on a tank of gas the Volt achieved 47 where Prius got 43 if you actually checked the real mileage by comparing the gas used and mileage driven. The Prius computer clearly lies about the mileage it was getting where the Volt on board computer was correct in computing mileage. Volt handles much better and in a ride from CA To IN (2000 miles) it managed 3-4 miles better on a gallon of gas than our Prius following me at 65-75 mph. The Prius feels cheap, with a poor suspension that cannot manage the … winding road or a rough surface road.
which is very noticeable in real world driving. The difference in performance between the Prius and Volt is huge. We own a 2017 Prius plugin hybrid, Tesla Model 3 dual motor Performance Package with Extended Range, and a new 2019 Chevy Volt Premier with all the options for safety. Why did Chevy discontinue this great car? No other maintenance was necessary at this time. It has over 10,000 miles on it, mostly electric. I took it in recently for a minor recall service. I'm not sure what the problem is, but it is minor. Likewise with lock / unlock start / stop and sound the horn or turn on the lights Locate vehicle now works without a subscription. Well it's been a year and a half of hybrid happiness. There is really no reason to buy the navigation option. It handles well and has a surprising amount of power. For a small car it has a lot of trunk space. Unfortunately it doesn't remember the settings for alternate drivers.

It has an electric drivers seat to make it easy to … adjust your position. Consequently I almost never buy gas for it. Damn shame that Chevy has decided to discontinue this model. require a $15 / month payment with Chevy. Features that are free with other manufactures, like location, remote start, charge, etc.
