Why it stands out

The 2017 Chevrolet Volt stands out because it sits at the intersection of electric driving and everyday practicality. In this generation, the Volt became more of a plug-in hybrid than a range-extended electric vehicle, with engine torque sent directly to the wheels through a mechanical connection. That setup helped boost the EPA-estimated all-electric range to around 53 miles, which is a major part of its appeal for buyers who want to cover short trips on electricity while still having gasoline backup for longer drives.

It also brought a useful mix of modern features. The 2017 Volt seated five, got Apple CarPlay, and could run on regular fuel. Standard equipment on the LT trim included automatic climate control, remote start, passive entry, a built-in WiFi hotspot, an eight-inch infotainment touchscreen display, a rearview camera, cruise control, and Apple CarPlay. Available features included heated leather seats, a heated steering wheel, ambient lighting, blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking. For shoppers, that combination of efficiency and technology makes the 2017 Volt feel well equipped even by current used-car standards.

There are trade-offs, though. The pros listed for the Volt emphasize electric-only driving for short distances, a perfect size for urban streets, and lots of standard features, while the cons point to cramped rear seats, a small cargo area, and cheap interior materials. Owner feedback also lines up with the car’s strengths and weaknesses: drivers praise its fuel economy and electric range, but some wish for power seats and better rear-seat comfort.
