The 2012 Chevrolet Volt is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) designed to offer both electric driving and extended-range capability. It features a 16-kWh lithium-ion battery pack that provides an all-electric range of approximately 35–40 miles before a 1.4L gasoline-powered generator kicks in to extend the total range to over 300 miles. The Volt’s electric motor delivers 149 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, providing a smooth and quiet ride.
Inside, the Volt offers a modern, tech-focused cabin with a digital instrument cluster, touchscreen infotainment system, and comfortable seating for four. Standard features include keyless entry, Bluetooth connectivity, and a premium sound system. The Volt's aerodynamic design enhances efficiency, and regenerative braking helps recharge the battery during deceleration.
With a combination of electric and gasoline power, the 2012 Chevy Volt is an excellent choice for drivers looking to reduce fuel consumption and emissions without range anxiety.
