CHEVY BOLT EUV VS BOLT EV

If you’re shopping for a fuel-efficient vehicle in White Marsh, Maryland, you may want to check out the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV and 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV at Koons White Marsh Chevrolet. These two vehicles operate exclusively on electricity, which eliminates the need to go to the gas station. Although they’re similar in many ways, they have distinct differences that may make you prefer one of them over the other. Take a look at this detailed comparison between the Chevy Bolt EV and Chevy Bolt EUV to determine which model is right for you.

TRIM LEVELS

The main difference between the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV and the 2022 Chevrolet EUV is that they compete in different segments. The Bolt EV is a subcompact hatchback, while the Bolt EUV is a subcompact SUV. 

If you decide to buy the Chevy Bolt EV, you have two trim levels to choose from: the 1LT and the 2LT. The Chevy Bolt EUV, on the other hand, is available in three trims: LT, Premier, and Launch Edition. 

EXTERIOR

While they share many exterior design elements, the Chevrolet Bolt EV and Chevrolet Bolt EUV are easily distinguishable from one another. With its two-tiered headlights, black lower body cladding, and floating rear roof pillars, the Bolt EV expresses the robustness of a crossover to a certain extent. However, it also has a sleek and modern styling that makes it look somewhat athletic. 

The Bolt EUV looks tougher and more aggressive than its smaller sibling. It features more SUV-like proportions, a more dominating front fascia, and a longer and more muscular hood. Additionally, it’s fitted with a faux skid plate that enhances its outdoorsy appeal. It’s also about six inches longer than the Bolt EV.

PERFORMANCE

Both the Chevy Bolt EV and Chevy Bolt EUV are equipped with a single-motor powertrain. This unit delivers 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque to the front wheels via a one-speed automatic transmission. With this setup, the two electric vehicles are able to respond instantaneously to accelerator inputs and provide adequate low-end torque to get you off the line quickly. With their impressive acceleration, they make overtaking and merging with highway traffic a cinch. 

Unlike some other electric vehicles on the market, the Bolt EV and Bolt EUV are surprisingly fun to drive. They offer a smooth and composed ride under almost any circumstance, from moving over uneven surfaces to negotiating sharp turns. With their potent powertrains and agile handling, they can also provide an engaging driving experience when the situation calls for it. In addition, they come with a one-pedal driving mode that can increase regenerative braking to the extent that you seldom need to apply the brakes to slow down. 

FUEL ECONOMY

The 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV is slightly more frugal than its larger counterpart, delivering 131/109 MPGe (city/highway) and a driving range of 259 miles. It can provide a maximum of 100 miles of range with 30 minutes of DC fast charging. In comparison, the Chevrolet Bolt EUV achieves 125/104 MPGe and a range of 250 miles. Its driving range increases by 95 miles with 30 minutes of charging. 

INTERIOR

Seating capacity is five for both the Chevy Bolt EV and Chevy Bolt EUV. However, being the larger vehicle, the Bolt EUV offers more passenger space. While its front seats are equally roomy as those of the smaller Bolt, its rear seats provide an additional three inches of legroom. 

Both the Bolt EV and Bolt EUV come standard with cloth upholstery, automatic climate control, push-button start, and remote start. If you want a more comfortable and pleasant ride, you can opt for available features such as leather upholstery, a heated steering wheel, ventilated and heated front seats, and heated rear outboard seats.

CARGO SPACE

Despite its smaller size, the Chevrolet Bolt EV has a slightly larger cargo area than the Chevrolet Bolt EUV. It offers 16.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind its rear seats and 57 cubic feet behind its front seats. In contrast, the SUV version gives you 16.3 cubic feet behind the back row and 56.9 cubic feet behind the front row. 

INFOTAINMENT FEATURES

Whether you decide to get the Chevy Bolt EV or Chevy Bolt EUV, you’ll have a wide array of infotainment features at your disposal. The smaller Bolt offers a 10.2-inch touch-screen display, a six-speaker audio system, satellite radio, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Bluetooth as standard equipment. Available features include a Wi-Fi hot spot and a wireless device charger. 

The base trim of the Bolt EUV is equipped with a 10.2-inch touch-screen display, an 8-inch digital gauge cluster, a wireless device charger, HD radio, and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. You can upgrade your experience with optional features such as navigation, a Wi-Fi hot spot, and a Bose premium audio system. 

SAFETY FEATURES

The new Chevrolet Bolt EV received a number of safety updates for improved crash prevention. It now comes standard with automatic emergency braking, forward-collision alert, pedestrian monitoring, lane-keeping assistance, lane-departure alert, a rearview camera, and automatic high-beam headlamps. The 2LT trim offers additional features such as blind-spot detection, adaptive cruise control, rear cross-traffic warning, and a surround-view parking camera system. 

The Chevrolet Bolt EUV has the same selection of standard driver-assistance features as the hatchback Bolt. However, it comes with a longer list of optional features, which include GM’s semi-autonomous Super Cruise system. 

If you want to save money on fuel, you won’t go wrong with either the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV or the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV. Your main consideration should be the amount of passenger space you need.
