Refreshed 2027 Chevy Bolt Spotted, Appearing Beyond Just a Redesign
The much-anticipated refreshed Chevrolet Bolt is set to make a comeback to the market, boasting significant updates and a renewed focus on affordability and performance. Here are the key details on the upcoming model:
Key Features and Changes
- Crossover Design: The next-gen Chevrolet Bolt will adopt a crossover body style, similar to the Chevrolet Equinox EV, featuring a more SUV-like appearance and split headlamps[1].
- LFP Battery: It will be equipped with LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery cells, offering improved longevity, better handling of temperature fluctuations, and lower costs compared to traditional Lithium-ion batteries, although they have a lower energy density[1][3][5].
- NACS Charging Port: The inclusion of a NACS (North American Charging Standard) port will provide access to Tesla's extensive Supercharger network, expanding charging options[1][2][3].
- Range and Charging: The new Bolt is expected to offer approximately 260 miles of range for early models, with potential improvements up to 300 miles in later versions, and faster charging times — 100 miles added in just 30 minutes of DC fast charging[1][3][5].
- Design Updates: The refreshed model will showcase new styling front and rear, with fresh designs for the headlamps and a newly shaped black wheel design[2][4].
Potential Release Date
The 2026 model is expected to be released later this year, while the 2027 model will start production in late 2025[1][2].
Pricing
The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt is anticipated to start at around $30,000, though pricing details are still pending[2]. The original Bolt was discontinued after the 2023 model year, and GM aims to reintroduce it as a more affordable option[4]. However, the absence of a federal EV tax credit may impact pricing strategy[3].
Overall, the refreshed Chevrolet Bolt focuses on affordability, improved charging capabilities, and a more versatile design, making it a competitive option in the electric vehicle market.
Note: - The exterior changes in the upcoming Bolt are minor, with only minor nips and tucks[6]. - General Motors is teasing a successor to the Chevrolet Bolt[7]. - The upcoming Bolt will only be sold as the EUV version in the American market[8]. - The new Bolt may not qualify for a federal EV tax credit[9]. - The upcoming model is not expected to be a full redesign, but a refresh of the Chevrolet Bolt[10].
