The plug-in hybrid that was ahead of its time. It's a series hybrid with a 1.4L generator and an electric motor. The battery is robust; the drivetrain is reliable. It's a cult classic.
The Volt is a plug-in hybrid (series hybrid) with a front-drive, unibody design. It has a 1.4L I4 (84 hp) or a 1.5L I4 (101 hp) and an electric motor (149 hp). It has a 16-18 kWh lithium-ion battery pack and a 35-53 mile electric range. It uses a planetary gearset for the e-CVT.
The Volt is surprisingly reliable. The battery degrades slowly. The drivetrain is robust—it's derived from the Prius system. The 1.4L and 1.5L engines are reliable. The main issues are the infotainment system (MyLink is slow) and the door handles breaking. The Volt is a cult classic—a well-engineered car that GM didn't market properly.
