This look at the Chevrolet Volt 1.4 CVT keeps to one everyday subject: carrying other people. The notes below describe general habits and needs of shared travel rather than features attributed to this listing.
1 generation · Hatchback 5-door
Generation photo. Individual trim appearance may differ.
The highest speed a vehicle can sustain under manufacturer test conditions. Some cars are electronically limited below their mechanical potential. Glossary entry
161 km/h
Engine type
Hybrid
Transmission
Variable
Type of boost?
A turbocharger or supercharger compresses the air entering the engine so a smaller engine can produce more power. Naturally aspirated engines draw air without a compressor. Glossary entry
No
Type of drive?
Which wheels receive power: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive can send power to every wheel for extra traction. Glossary entry
FWD
Bore and stroke?
The diameter of a cylinder (bore) and the distance the piston travels inside it (stroke). Together they determine the displacement of the engine. Glossary entry
73.4 × 82.6 mm
Engine capacity?
The total volume swept by all pistons inside the cylinders, usually stated in cubic centimetres or litres. Larger displacement often means more power but higher consumption. Glossary entry
1398 cm³
Engine location
Not provided
Number of gears?
How many fixed forward ratios a gearbox offers. More gears can improve economy and refinement; continuously variable transmissions have no fixed steps. Glossary entry
Not provided
Maximum power?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
86 hp
Maximum power, kw?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
63 kW
Compression ratio?
The ratio between the largest and smallest volume of a cylinder as the piston moves. Higher ratios improve efficiency but may require higher-octane fuel. Glossary entry
10.5

Acceleration to 100?
The time a vehicle needs to reach 100 km/h from a standstill, a common shorthand for overall performance. Glossary entry
9 s

Distributed injection (multi-point)
Number of cylinders
4
Valves per cylinder?
The number of intake and exhaust valves in each cylinder. Four valves per cylinder is common and helps the engine breathe at higher speeds. Glossary entry

Engine and Transmission
Most journeys with other people are short urban ones, broken by junctions, crossings and parking manoeuvres. The everyday priority there is predictability at low speed, while the driver judges gaps and thinks about where passengers will step out.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Controls learned once become automatic, and that habit counts for more on busy days than on quiet ones. A driver who can change temperature or sound without looking keeps their eyes forward while answering whatever prompted the request.
Body and Practicality
Getting in and out is the part of a shared trip repeated most often. Convenience there usually comes down to where the car is stopped and how much room is left beside it, which is decided before anyone reaches for a door.
