Is the Chevy Bolt coming back for 2027?
Yes -- after a three-year hiatus, the 2027 Bolt is back by popular demand. In fact, the 2027 Bolt is already at dealerships, awaiting your test-drive. This EV hatchback returns with a longer driving range, new body style, and redesigned cabin. Plus, the battery charges faster!
In fact, compared to the previous EV, the 2027 Bolt charges two-and-a-half times as fast! At a DC Fast-Charge station, you can recharge your Bolt from 10 percent to 80 percent in 25 minutes.
Bolt enthusiasts may recognize the new body style as the former Bolt EUV, a four-door hatchback that's shaped more like an SUV than a small car. Inside, the redesigned cabin offers a simple, clean design and newly updated tech. Modernized interfaces include a digital instrument panel and 11.3-inch central touchscreen. Unfortunately, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto aren't available, but Google Built-In features help you get around with navigation and voice assistant technology.
What's the 2027 Chevy Bolt driving range?
The 2027 Bolt can travel an estimated 262 miles on a full battery. That's not as long an EV driving range as some competitors offer, but it is the longest driving range for an EV in the under-$30,000* price range.
Is the 2027 Chevy Bolt a good car?
The formula that makes the 2027 Chevy Bolt so attractive is affordability plus electric power. After all, the EV segment isn't exactly known for its budget-friendly price tags. And as affordable EVs go, the Bolt is an excellent car, giving you a high-tech standard lineup, easygoing performance, and quick fast-charging capability.
Who shouldn't buy the 2027 Bolt?
In short, drivers who want a longer driving range, more smartphone integration, or extra luxury may be better served by another EV.
Competitors will cost you more, but most will get you closer to a 300-mile driving range. Also, the Bolt isn't available with basic Apple CarPlay or Android Auto connectivity, so you're going to need to love its Google Built-In infotainment features. And finally, while the Bolt offers niceties like ventilated front seats and Super Cruise hands-free driving, it never reaches the luxury level that offers genuine leather upholstery.
How much does the 2027 Chevy Bolt cost?
Right now, the 2027 Bolt LT starts at just $27,600*, making it America's most affordable EV*. The more exclusive 2027 Bolt RS adds comfort and style, starting at $31,600*.
*Based on current MSRP as of 8/24/26. Subject to change.
How long is the Chevy Bolt's "limited run?"
When Chevy announced the return of the Bolt EV, it came with a caveat: a limited run. And while the automaker hasn't said how long that run will last, reports suggest that it may be up by the end of 2028. That's when GM plans to move production of the Buick Envision to the Fairfax Assembly plant, where the Bolt is currently assembled.
