Used 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV for Sale near San Diego, CA

The Bolt gets bigger, but does it get better?

The original Chevrolet Bolt EV debuted for the 2017 model year as General Motors’ first mass-market electric car. Now Chevy is back with not one, but two Bolt EV models.

The 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV is an updated version of the original hatchback, with new exterior styling and a redesigned interior. It’s joined by the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV, an enlarged version that aims to provide a more SUV-like experience. The Bolt EUV is also the first non-Cadillac model available with GM’s Super Cruise driver-assist system (the standard Bolt EV doesn’t get it).

Chevy needed to give the Bolt EV a major update because the competition is getting tougher. The Hyundai Kona Electric, Kia Niro EV, and Nissan Leaf Plus now offer more than 200 miles of range, as does the recently-launched Volkswagen ID.4, and more affordable EVs are on the way as automakers get serious about reducing emissions.

Since it’s a new model, and since it gets Super Cruise, Chevy offered us a test drive of the Bolt EUV first. The EUV is available in LT, Premier, and limited-edition Launch Edition trim levels. We drove a Premier model.
