Buying the 2018 Chevrolet Volt
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2018 Chevrolet Volt for sale by us right now. 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 you buy the 2018 Chevrolet Volt, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Recalls and complaints
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Reading the spec sheet
The engine is the 1.5L 4-cylinder hybrid, with front-wheel drive and 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.
It is rated 5.6 L/100 km combined: about 17 litres every 300 km. On electricity alone it is rated for about 676 km before the gas engine takes over. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $8.68. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$1,600 a year for 15,000 miles.
Inside and out
Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. With 538 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Best uses
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Drive it on your own roads
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Try the Volt on your commute, then decide. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
What it costs to run
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $8.68 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$1,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Picking a year and a trim
Within the 2018 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
