A Larger SUV: The Bolt EUV

Despite all the interest in the Bolt, it is impossible to ignore the importance of SUVs in today’s market. That’s why the American automaker is coming up with a new electric SUV, the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV.

This one is presented in two versions, LT and Premier, the latter incorporating some additional technologies and comfort features, such as:

• Leather upholstery
• Ventilated front seats
• Heated rear seats
• Ambient lighting in the doors, etc.

The Chevrolet Bolt EUV starts at $42,098 for the LT version or $45,598 for the Premier.

What often pushes towards the SUV is the increased passenger space; thanks to its extended body and wheelbase, the vehicle offers 35 mm more legroom in the back.

On the cargo side, there’s very little difference. The Bolt EV offers a generous 470 L to 1,614 L of space with the seats down; on the other hand, the Bolt EUV offers 462 L in its trunk and 1,611 L of total cargo capacity.

Despite some differences in size and options, the Bolt EUV is based on the same platform as the Bolt and has the same features.

Electric Performance and Comfortable Driving

Both vehicles are powered by the same electric drivetrain, powered by a 65-kWh lithium-ion battery, allowing to deliver an instantaneous 201 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque.

In addition to generous power, the cars also offer a comfortable ride.

“It is fast and energetic and good news: GM has worked on its suspension.
It’s smoother and more comfortable than the model it replaces.”
