General Motors (GM) posted an official sneak preview of the redesigned 2027 Chevrolet Bolt on Tuesday. The vehicle is back by popular demand, GM says, and it’s been completely refreshed and redesigned.
Here’s why it matters:
The Chevrolet Bolt was one of the first long-range, mass-produced EVs on the market, known for its affordable price. It received numerous awards, including “Car of the Year’ from Motor Trend.
While the price of the redesigned 2027 variant is still under wraps, if it’s offered at an affordable price again, it could be incredibly attractive to consumers who want to go electric even after the federal EV tax credit has long expired.
Key takeaways:
- The Chevrolet Bolt is returning in 2027 with a brand new redesign
There will be updates to the vehicle’s front dascia, rear tail lamps, and it will be equipped with a NACS charging adapter port. - It was one of the first long-range EVs on the market
When the Chevy Bolt first entered the market in 2017, it was the first long-range, mass-produced EV offered at an affordable price for consumers who wanted to go electric. - It’s coming back due to popular demand
Production for the Chevy Bolt wrapped initially in December 2023, but due to popular demand, GM is bringing it back to market. - Additional details in the coming months
GM’s sneak preview did not include any additional information regarding production details, availability or costs. The carmaker will offer further details in the coming months. - GM continues to push forward towards an electric future
Although the carmaker has tempered its plans for EV development, such as scrapping its EV plants at its Orion plant, the company is still committed to electrification.
