The 2012 Chevrolet Volt is a one-of-a-kind hybrid vehicle that offers incredible efficiency without compromising performance. This Volt runs on the potent combination of a rechargeable lithium ion battery and 1.4 liter internal combustion engine to go the distance. A combination of electric power steering and a Stabilitrak stability control system provide responsive and precise handling.
Take one look at the Volt and you'll know you're in for something different. Forged painted aluminum wheels and a rear spoiler provide superb performance, and bi-functional halogen projector headlamps offer excellent visibility under any conditions. Because the Volt operates so quietly, it's equipped with a pedestrian friendly alert system that includes an integrated horn chirp function in the turn signal lever.
With the Volt's long list of interior amenities, you'll feel right at home. Take your favorite tunes on the go with a high-quality AM/FM stereo with a CD player and a 6-speaker system. It also has an auxiliary input jack and a USB port for you mobile devices. Three separate auxiliary outlets can easily power your cell phone, laptop, or GPS. You'll enjoy exquisite comfort thanks to a premium cloth seat trim, comfort grip steering wheel, and automatic climate control.
The Volt is up to date with modern technology and features interior ambient-LED based lighting for excellent visibility throughout. But it also offers classic, tried and true safety features, like frontal and side impact airbags and 3-point seat belts for all seating positions.
| Base Standard Equipment |
| Interior Standard Equipment |
| Air bags, dual-stage frontal, side-impact and knee for driver and front passenger and roof-rail side-impact for front and rear outboard seating positions - Includes Passenger Sensing System (Head curtain side air bags are designed to help reduce the risk of head and neck injuries to front and rear seat outboard occupants on the near side of certain side-impact collisions. Always use safety belts and the correct child restraints for your child's age and size. Even in vehicles equipped with air bags and the Passenger Sensing System, children are safer when properly secured in a rear seat in the appropriate infant, child or booster seat. Never place a rear-facing infant restraint in the front seat of any vehicle equipped with an active frontal air bag. See the Owner's Manual and child safety seat instructions for more safety information.) |
