2016 Chevy Volt: The Next Generation of Hybrid Electric Cars?
The new Chevy Volt is better in every way.
TAMPA, FL, June 18, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- This year, Chevrolet published an ad on YouTube that provided consumers with a glimpse of its sleeker and sportier-looking second-generation 2016 Volt extended-range electric vehicle. The new model promises improved efficiency, stronger acceleration and proper five-passenger seating, among other details.
According to writer Mircea Panait of Autoevolution, the 2016 Chevy Volt is better in every way when compared to its predecessor. Panait says the combustion unit has been replaced with a 1.5 range extender that is designed to use regular unleaded fuel.
The Autoevolution writer also notes that Chevy's next-generation hybrid electric car uses an 18.4 kWh 192-cell battery that offers 50 miles of electric range. The automaker says the battery uses fewer cells and has shed more than 20 pounds compared to the outgoing model.
Other highlights include a new, lighter and 12 percent more efficient two-motor drive unit that enhances zero to 30 miles per hour acceleration strength by 19 percent, which Panait notes can be done in 2.6 seconds.
Fans of the 2016 Chevrolet Volt should also be pleased with the vehicle's stronger body structure, quieter ride and new braking system. Chevy's extended-range EV also features an eight-inch touchscreen, MyLink, a rearview camera and available active safety systems. In addition, the interior layout now allows for five-passenger seating and heated rear seats are available.
With improvements all-around, it is no wonder the automaker has named its video ad "2016 Volt: The Next Generation of Hybrid Electric Cars."
The new Volt will be available for purchase during the second half of the year. For details, visit Ferman Chevrolet of Tampa, Florida.
