Three Reasons to Consider the 2019 Chevrolet Volt

If you were on the fence with the 2019 Chevrolet Volt becoming your next car, there are some important considerations that may help to sway your decision. This model is highly fuel-efficient, a top safety pick and this could be your last chance to own this economic hatchback.

Fuel Efficiency

The Chevrolet Volt is the definition of fuel efficiency. With regular charging, the 2019 Volt can average 1,100 miles between fill-ups. On a full charge, running on pure electric miles, you can get up to 53 miles, while a full charge and a full tank of gas can stretch up to 420 miles. This vehicle can save you time and money in gas stops and extra money spent at convenience stores on your road trips. With less fuel usage, you’re also helping the environment, saving fossil fuels for future generations.

A Top Safety Pick

The 2018 IIHS Top Safety Pick Award was given to the Chevrolet Volt, thanks to new standard safety features as well as add-ons. Coming standard with the basic trim, the Volt owner is protected with 10 airbags, an HD rear vision camera, LATCH system, LED daytime running lamps, OnStar capability, pedestrian safety signal, and a tire pressure monitoring system. Optional upgrades on even the base trim include lane change alert with side blind zone alert, rear cross traffic alert, and rear park assist.

Opting for an upgraded trim opens up more safety options. You can choose forward automatic braking, forward collision alert, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, and low speed forward automatic braking. With all of the available safety features on the 2019 Chevy Volt, this is clearly a safe vehicle with options to make it even safer.

2019 is the Last Year for the Volt

General Motors announced in November 2018 that the Chevrolet Volt and Chevy Cruze will be discontinued. With the closure of the factories that produce both models, there has been much discussion about how the technology will be treated. Some ideas are that GM could build an SUV with the Voltec battery-electric hybrid system. It could have a bigger battery, or perhaps the vehicle would have less range than the smaller car due to the increase in weight. The technology could be sold to another automaker. This could open up many opportunities for more groundbreaking vehicles and potential improvements to these engines.

Whether you’re looking for your first hybrid car or would like to add one to your car collection, the 2019 Chevrolet Volt is a strong addition. The safety ratings will have you driving your family around without concern on road trips or enjoying your daily commute with minimal fuel stops and plenty of peace of mind. Take the opportunity to buy this model new while you can since the factory won’t be rolling more out after 2019.
