2018 Chevrolet Volt consumer reviews

This is an electric car with a hybrid backup. It is an amazing car, it is pretty much free to operate, as in it almost never needs gas, and the electric to charge it cost very little. But mostly it is so fun to drive, great acceleration, great turning radius, feels like driving a sports car, it is high tech and can do so many things. I just love to drive it, and it is so silent, even when the gas engine is running it is very quiet. It's solid and well build. I can't say enough good things about this car, love it!

Effectively I drive 90 % of all trips electric only. Electric is quiet and all acceleration is smooth and powerful. Good to know you always can go to gas power.

great car super gas saver quiet reliable its so sad that they discontinue such a great car no regrets only regret is that i did not get one sooner

19k miles and no problems. I get way more miles on the batteries than advertised 65 to 70 miles a charge. I love the driver confidence features and the adaptive cruise control. So fun to drive. I live in the mountains and it does great and handles very good in the snow.

Bought this LT new in March 2019 with 2 weeks to go with a $7,500 tax credit, trading in my 2014 Premier. Didn't drive it for the first 16 months while I flirted with a used Chrysler convertible that I bought for a Route 66 trip to start on B-Day #66. Thanks to Wuhan, China, that never happened, so who needs a drop-top. In Texas heat and judicious use of the regen paddle and the Hold mode, I'm getting 60, not 53, miles on a full charge and nearly 50 miles per gallon on gasoline. My only 4 of 5 is the comfort, but that's mostly my fault, as I need to lose 50 pounds and decrease the size of my butt! Let me tell you that it's far more comfortable for my posterior than the Chevy Bolt. And I have no reservations about taking 2,000 mile road trips - maybe even Route 66 starting on the LAST day of being 66 next April. I highly recommend this car and only the Kia or Hyundai EVs might lure me away.

I love everything about this car. This is my first electric vehicle and I have no regrets in getting it and will never go back to a gas car. I have always leased and leased this in the end or 2018 unsure of how I would like it, and am now looking to buy it out. In 2019 I only spent $9 a week on gas. the EV range covers my entire 50 mile round trip commute to work so I rarely run on gas. I don’t pay much extra in my electric bill at home. The charger is easy to set up and plugs right into the wall in the garage. There are many public places in my city to charge my car for free. I love the features in the car, it’s a perfect medium between average car and luxury. I also like the fact that this is a heavier car. Coming from a Cruz to a volt I can feel that my volt is heavier. I live in upstate New York and never slide on ice anymore. My monthly payments in leasing look even better than they did with my Cruz which did not have as good features. Even with looking into buying the car the monthly payments are still within a good budget. I am very sad that this car has been discontinued and this is a part of my reasoning to buy out my lease. There’s nothing like this on the market. The next best thing in my opinion is the Chevy bolt, but that is a full electric commitment (not opposed for the future, though!) The volt really gives you the best of both worlds. I like knowing that I have that back up gas but rarely need to use it. I wish everyone could/ could have experienced the volt. I barley see any on the road. It has for sure been an under rated car, and it’s too bad. I love the electric car world and can’t wait to see what the future holds for it.

We have owned this new to us 2018 Chevy Volt for about a month but I can tell you I should have bought this car a long time ago! With an electric range of 53 miles, which is more than any other PHEV!! We’ve driven about 1,100 miles and we’ve only used 1 tank of gas!! The gas tank holds 8 gallons! I don’t worry about range anxiety as we have nearly 400 miles range! When I do run out of electric power the small gas engine generator comes to life and you never feel anything, it’s amazing! We have the Premier trim with just about every option with my favorite being the adaptive cruise.

Skeptical of buying an electric vehicle but thought a volt would be a good transition vehicle into the the electric car world as it has the on board generator when battery is depleted, I’m so glad I bought it and will never buy a new gas powered vehicle again because of this car, the technology in this car is amazing at least to me and so far it’s been flawless, way to go General Motors for making a great car that most owners love and now your discontinued it!

This car is great on gas. I bought a supercharger and now I only get gas every other week. The handling and features are great.

Traded-in my 2014 Volt Premier on a 2018 Volt LT before GM's federal tax credit is cut from 7,500 to 3,750 on April 1. The electronics, mileage, miles on battery and styling are all upgraded, even going down from Premier to LT with optional leather seating (this time "real" leather vs. suede). Old "Brownie" is gone and new "Whitey" is here!!!
