What’s new on the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt?
Technology
Google built-in forms the foundation of the infotainment experience, delivering Google Maps navigation, Google Assistant voice control, and access to entertainment applications through OnStar Connectivity. Navigation planning accounts for battery charge status, automatically incorporating energy considerations into route suggestions and displaying range impact for selected destinations.
For trips requiring charging stops, Google Maps identifies charging station locations and provides current availability information. The system factors in driving style and conditions to estimate range more accurately. When DC fast charging stations appear along your planned route, battery preconditioning activates automatically to warm the pack for optimal charge acceptance. Voice commands through “Hey Google” control cabin temperature, seat heating, phone functions, and messaging without manual input. Smart home integration extends voice control to devices like garage door openers. During charging or parking stops, occupants can stream video through apps like Tubi and Prime Video, play games including Angry Birds and GameSnacks, or browse using Chrome. Google Play access allows downloading additional applications as they become available.
Exterior
The 2027 Bolt retains the hatchback configuration that made earlier versions practical for daily use. Fresh exterior styling updates the appearance without abandoning the recognizable silhouette. Buyers select from seven paint options, each complemented by 17-inch aluminum wheels offered in three distinct finishes to match personal taste.
The RS trim level brings specific design elements to differentiate it from the base model. High-gloss black wheel finishes create visual impact, while black roof rails enhance the sporty character. RS-specific grille badging identifies the trim from the front. An exclusive exterior colour option pairs Atomic Yellow paint with red accent stitching inside the cabin, available only on RS models. The vehicle measures 169.6 inches in length with a 105.3-inch wheelbase, dimensions that balance interior space with maneuverability on city streets and highways.
Interior
Inside the cabin, attention centers on two prominent displays. The 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen handles navigation, media, and vehicle settings from its center-dash position. An 11-inch diagonal driver information center sits within the gauge cluster, offering customizable layouts for trip data, energy consumption, and vehicle status information.
The column-mounted shifter design opens up the center console area, eliminating the traditional floor shifter and creating more usable space. Storage areas beneath the dashboard and between the seats provide accessible spots for phones, wallets, and other frequently needed items. Climate and audio controls blend touchscreen functions with physical switches, keeping the most common adjustments immediately available. Standard equipment includes heated front seats and a heated steering wheel on both LT and RS trims. Options expand to include ventilated front seats, wireless charging capability for compatible phones, and a panoramic sunroof that floods the cabin with natural light.
Powertrain
The X76 electric drive unit represents GM’s tenth application of this in-house electric motor design. Operating as a single-motor front-wheel-drive system, it generates 210 horsepower and 169 lb-ft of torque through a permanent-magnet motor configuration. The 11.59:1 final drive ratio translates motor output into wheel motion efficiently.
Engineering choices in the motor design focus on cost control and energy efficiency. Rare-earth material usage stays minimal, keeping production expenses down. Segmented magnet construction reduces heat accumulation and associated energy losses during operation. The inverter employs silicon carbide materials to minimize power loss as electricity travels from the battery to the motor. A 65 kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate battery pack stores energy in prismatic cell format, covered by an 8-year or 160,000 km warranty. The braking system blends regenerative and friction methods, recovering kinetic energy during slowdowns and feeding it back to the battery. Pedal feel remains consistent whether the system uses regenerative or mechanical braking.
Chevrolet offers the 2027 Bolt in two configurations. Both use identical electric drivetrains and battery packs, delivering the same range and charging capabilities. Differences appear in styling details and available equipment.
Bolt LT: Starting at $43,470, the LT includes heated seats front and rear, heated steering wheel, dual digital screens, Google built-in connectivity, and multiple USB-C ports for device charging. Options include wireless phone charging, ventilated front seats, and a panoramic sunroof.
Bolt RS: Beginning at $46,070, the RS adds sporty visual elements including unique grille badges, high-gloss black wheels, and black roof rails. The Atomic Yellow exterior with red interior stitching is exclusive to RS. All LT standard features are included, with identical options available.
