GM Authority Offers up Visual Comparison Between the Chevy Bolt EUV and Bolt EV

The time in automotive history has most definitely arrived for all-electric vehicle efforts to ramp up, and Chevy is going to do just that, with an arsenal of brand-new battery-powered models. The Bolt EUV is one choice that is framed as an “electric utility vehicle”, and will be closely related to the Bolt EV in terms of makeup and mechanics. The two will still differ on some major styling details and although the new Bolt EUV is not on lots yet, several prototypes have been seen via spy shots.

The GM Authority blog posted a red-hot feature this week honing in on some of the differences, remaining as always a useful authority to refer to before making a purchase here at West Chevy of Knoxville. The shape of the EVS is quite similar, with a 5-door body style that offers four doors for the passengers, and a large rear hatch for cargo. The Bolt EUV stands out for sporting a taller, more upright grille and fascia when compared to the EV.

The hood on the EUV is also flatter when compared to the angled hood on the EV, falling back to a windshield line that is steeply raised. When viewed in full profile, the EUV is just a bit longer than the EV, stretching out with an additional seven inches of length. The EUV has a bit more squared cargo section and straighter roof, and the EV has a slanted roof line as well as lower hatch. The new Bolt EUV is expected to come with styling inspired by the Chinese-market Buick Velite 7, which is based on the GM BEV2 platform – identical underpinnings as the current Chevy Bolt EV and the new EUV.

Even due to global events and cutbacks, GM still says manufacturing of the electric vehicle line is still on track to release the refreshed 2021 Bolt EV by the end of this year. In other news reported this past month, the upcoming Bolt EUV will offer a hitch-mounted bike rack, providing a perfect solution for those buyers interested in using it as a way to get access to their favorite park or trail. Paying close attention to the active lifestyles that buyers of electric vehicles have, this offering will no doubt attract many who are the exact types of buyers that appreciate the benefits and social activism factor of electric.

We believe that so many different buyers will enjoy leaving the “pain of the pump” behind and relying on the electric charge for their transportation form and to-do-list. The electric range is anticipated to be around 259 miles for this ingenious and fun-to-drive on the daily pair. We will keep you posted right here on the blog regarding any news of release and updates, and will keep an eye on the future excitedly as more planet-saving models reach the development phase!
