Another very interesting feature of the 2016 Chevrolet Volt is its onboard gasoline range extender engine, which does not start until the driver had travelled more than 56 miles on battery power alone.
There was even a time when the battery transported the driver and passengers of the 2016 Chevrolet Volt for 63 miles before the gas engine kicks in.
The 2016 Chevrolet Volt also has a 1.5-liter engine, which is an improvement from the first-generation’s 1.4-liter engine. The new engine is also an all-aluminum design, making it lighter and quieter too.
The new engine is also more fuel-efficient too. The first-generation Volt got 37 miles per gallon using its gasoline engine while the 2016 Chevrolet Volt is rated at 42 miles per gallon on the highway. It also accelerates faster than its predecessor model, going 0 to 60 kilometers in 8.6 seconds as opposed to the nine seconds for the former.
The 2016 Chevrolet Volt is also a historic car as it is the first affordable electric car with an internal combustion engine tucked in to wipe away fears of running out of battery while still some distance from home where the charging station normally is.
