2011 Chevrolet Volt

Basic features

The Volt has lived its introductory fame four years ago as a rare-tech idea in motoring. This has seen its sales maintain a considerable high in the production cars segment.  Through testing of the 2011 Chevrolet Volt in various conditions has proved that the car is really worth the fame and your try.

Key features

The 2011 Volt has been assembled as an electric vehicle. However this does not inhibit the car in its performance; the car can cover very long distances without any hitches as may be presumed from it high-tech features. Instead, the new features have been observed to give the 2011 Volt high reliability on the road.

Hints from the car maker GM suggest that the 2011 Volt is derived from a concept first displayed in the 2007 Detroit auto show but has taken numerous additional features from elsewhere which define the 2011 version. This has seen a number of features being carried from the concept version to the production version. Such a feature is the closed front grille which is an eye catching feature in the production version. Other features such as the front tapered corners up and line markings the back have been designed to suit the aerodynamics of the Volt.

Ideas behind features as the revolutionary power train which enable the Volt to operate as an electric vehicle or what may fit for a plug-in hybrid seem to have been conceived and applied in later stages of design. The volt is the first one in the Chevrolet series which you can recharge by plugging into a socket. The 2011 Volt has an impressive compact hatchback and is a quiet drive car. The Volt has considerable space with its interior having a seating space ample for four. The car also displays very swift performance on the road.

To put it into figures, the Volt can run for 340 miles on its battery and gasoline engine without any hitches. The car can charge up for up to 40 miles exclusively on its battery power. The input of the gasoline engines enables the volt to run for a further 300 miles. These figures clearly depict the impact of the new auto- tech on the performance of the 2011 Chevrolet Volt.

The only deterrent factor on the 2011 Chevrolet volt is the introductory price which is arguably inevitable as the market is yet to brace up for the auto technology used in its design. The introductory price hits a high of up to $41,000. Much of the expense is represented in the new technology involved with the lithium-ion battery package taking half of the total expense of a new 2011 Chevrolet Volt. However, the huge chunk is surely worth the tale.
