The 2017 Chevrolet Volt for buyers

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2017 Chevrolet Volt; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before buying the 2017 Chevrolet Volt, read what the figures say and how to try one first.

Recalls and complaints

A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year.

What the specs mean

Power comes from the 1.5L 4-cylinder hybrid, driving through an automatic (CVT). 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.

The EPA rates it at 5.6 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 17 litres. On electricity alone it is rated for about 676 km before the gas engine takes over. That works out to about $8.68 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$1,600 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

How big it is

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. The trunk holds 538 litres by the EPA's count: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

A good match for

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

Try before you buy

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the Volt for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent the Volt first, and buy only if it fits your life.

What it costs to run

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $86.80 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$1,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Year and trim

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Within the 2017 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
