An easy entry to EV ownership
Interested in an electric car, but worried about range anxiety or local fast-charging reliability? The Chevrolet Volt is the answer here. As an extended-range plug-in hybrid, the Volt has an electric range that's suitable for most commutes. If you deplete the battery, the small gas engine acts as a backup. If you only drive a Volt to work and back, you might only need to fill up every few months. The exterior blends in with non-hybrids, while the interior styling is an interesting avant-garde for the era.

5 reasons to buy the 2014 Chevrolet Volt
1. Electric range
Tired of visiting gas stations? The 2014 Chevrolet Volt has an all-electric range of 38 miles when fully charged.
2. Gas range extender
Maybe you drive a bit more than average. Maybe a lot more. The 2014 Chevrolet Volt is still worth a look thanks to its gas range extender. A 1.4L gas four-cylinder starts up when needed to recharge the battery and extend your mileage. Regenerative braking also refills the battery. Run the battery completely flat, and you’ll still get an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 37 mpg combined.
3. Solid driving dynamics
Hybrids used to have a seemingly mandatory hit to driving character, with slow acceleration, sloppy handling, and numb steering. Throw out all those assumptions, as the Volt will impress with V6-like acceleration, sharp steering, and a confident chassis in corners. Even at 70 mph highway jaunts, it’s as quiet and composed as a luxury car. The 2014 Chevrolet Volt isn’t just a good hybrid, it’s a good car.
4. Cool interior
The 2014 Chevrolet Volt has a stylish interior with comfort for four and excellent outward visibility. Sliding behind the wheel, you’ll notice a digital driver information display that looks borrowed from motorcycles. The center stack of controls and seven-inch infotainment touchscreen have a unique vertical element.
5. Loaded up
If you like tech, you’re in luck here, as the 2014 Chevrolet Volt has only one configuration (no trim levels), with few options. Nearly everything is standard. Look for: Bluetooth®, available remote start, navigation system, chrome trim outside and piano black trim inside, heated exterior mirrors, 17-inch alloy wheels, and a rear spoiler.
