The 2016 Chevrolet Volt: before you buy
No 2016 Chevrolet Volt is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. The 2016 Chevrolet Volt for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
What to check on the Volt
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 170 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, fuel/propulsion system and power train; have those parts checked.
Reading the spec sheet
The 1.5L 4-cylinder hybrid is what moves it, with 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.
At 5.6 L/100 km combined, it is easy on fuel: about 17 litres for 300 km. On electricity alone it is rated for about 676 km before the gas engine takes over. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $8.68 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$1,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
What to expect from the Volt
As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. With 538 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
When the Volt makes sense
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. Its low fuel use suits long commutes and high-kilometre weeks.
Drive it on your own roads
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. A week with the Volt answers more than any brochure. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $8.68 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$1,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Narrowing it down
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
