Thinking of buying the 2013 Chevrolet Volt?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2013 Chevrolet Volt for sale by us right now. This page puts the 2013 Chevrolet Volt in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
Recalls and complaints
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
What the specs mean
Power: the 1.4L 4-cylinder hybrid; drive: front-wheel drive. It is a plug-in hybrid: it runs on electricity for a short distance, then on gas like a regular hybrid. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Combined fuel use is 6.4 L/100 km: about 19 litres for 300 km. On electricity alone it is rated for about 612 km before the gas engine takes over. At our price setting, it costs about $9.92 to drive 100 km. The EPA estimates US$2,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Inside and out
Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. At 510 litres, the trunk fits a family's bags for a long weekend.
Good uses for the Volt
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Drive it on your own roads
Drive the Volt on your commute before you commit to it. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Volt answers the big questions. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Running costs
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $99.20 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Picking a year and a trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
Next step
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2013 Chevrolet Volt from us first.
