The 2016 Chevrolet Volt best features: 1. Electric Range and Efficiency: The 2016 Volt has a significant all-electric range of around 53 miles, making it ideal for daily commutes without using gasoline. After the battery depletes, the gasoline engine kicks in, extending the total range to over 400 miles, which eliminates range anxiety often associated with pure electric vehicles. 2. Performance and Handling: Equipped with an electric motor that provides instant torque, the Volt feels quick off the line and responsive in city driving. The regenerative braking system, which recharges the battery while slowing down, is also smooth and contributes to an overall pleasant driving experience. 3. Interior and Comfort: The 2016 Volt offers a well-designed, comfortable interior with a modern look. The materials used are of good quality for this price range, and it seats four adults comfortably. Tech features like a large touch screen, Apple CarPlay, and a user-friendly infotainment system add to its appeal. 4. Value for Money: As a plug-in hybrid, the Volt can help drivers save significantly on fuel costs. Additionally, with the availability of government incentives on hybrids and EVs (depending on location), it often becomes an even more economical choice. 5. Safety and Reliability: The 2016 Volt comes with a strong safety record, including features like multiple airbags, a rearview camera, and available advanced options like lane departure warnings and forward collision alert. Overall, the 2016 Chevy Volt is a versatile, fuel-efficient, and eco-friendly car, especially appealing for those looking to reduce their fuel usage without going fully electric.Nov 15, 2024

Love the plug-in hybrid feature. The car drives nicely and the premier model with driver package has many safety features that help with the many blind spots in the car in how it is designed. Jun 08, 2020
