What’s new on the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt?
Technology
Google built-in forms the foundation of the 2027 Bolt’s infotainment system, providing access to Google Maps navigation, Google Assistant voice control, and entertainment apps through the 287 mm touchscreen. The embedded Google Maps system integrates with the vehicle’s electric powertrain to display battery range along planned routes, automatically suggesting charging stops on longer journeys and factoring in real-time charging station availability. When DC fast charging is detected along a route, the system automatically preconditions the battery to optimize charging performance.
Voice commands through “Hey Google” allow drivers to adjust cabin temperature, control seat warmers, send voice-to-text messages, and make hands-free phone calls without removing hands from the steering wheel. Smart home device integration enables commands like opening garage doors as you approach your North Battleford home. Available Super Cruise driver assistance technology integrates with Google Maps to display Super Cruise-compatible routes and indicate how many minutes can be driven hands-free, with enhancements ensuring proper lane positioning at exit ramps and interchanges. More than 20 standard safety and driver assistance features include Intersection Collision Mitigation, Rear Automatic Braking, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert with Braking. When parked or charging, the infotainment system provides access to entertainment apps including Angry Birds, Chrome, GameSnacks, Tubi, and Prime Video, with additional apps available through Google Play downloads.
Exterior
The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt maintains the familiar hatchback profile that made its predecessor so practical, while adding updated styling cues that give it a refreshed appearance. Measuring 4307 mm in length with a 2675 mm wheelbase, the Bolt offers a compact footprint that makes parking and maneuvering through North Battleford straightforward. The exterior design features a distinctive front fascia with Chevrolet badging, while the hatchback configuration provides both style and functionality.
Seven exterior paint colours allow buyers to personalize their Bolt to match individual preferences, complemented by 432 mm aluminum wheels available in three finishes. The new RS trim introduces sportier exterior elements, including unique grille badging, high-gloss black wheels, and roof rails. RS models can be equipped with an exclusive Atomic Yellow exterior paired with red interior accent stitching. Standard features include LED lighting, while the available panoramic sunroof adds visual appeal to the roofline. Ground clearance of 141 mm and an 11.5 m turning circle contribute to the Bolt’s maneuverability in urban settings and parking lots across Saskatchewan.
Interior
Inside the 2027 Bolt, the cabin prioritizes driver focus and passenger comfort through thoughtful design choices. The driver-centric layout centers around a 287 mm diagonal infotainment screen mounted on the dashboard, complemented by a 279 mm diagonal driver information center that offers user-configurable displays. This dual-screen setup provides clear visibility of vehicle information, navigation routes, and entertainment options without overwhelming the interior space.
The new column shifter creates additional space between the front seats, while the open console design and passenger dash storage provide practical solutions for everyday items. Front passengers benefit from 1016 mm of headroom and 1124 mm of maximum legroom, with second-row occupants receiving 960 mm of headroom and 993 mm of legroom. The hatchback configuration delivers 458 litres of cargo space behind the rear seat, expanding to 1594 litres with the rear seat folded flat. Standard heated front seats and a heated steering wheel address Saskatchewan’s winter conditions, while available ventilated front seats and wireless phone charging enhance comfort and convenience. Multiple USB-C ports ensure device connectivity throughout the cabin, and the intentional mix of physical and virtual controls keeps frequently-used features like climate control immediately accessible.
Powertrain
The 2027 Bolt features GM’s X76 electric drive unit, representing the company’s tenth application of this motor design. This permanent-magnet drive motor produces 210 hp and 169 lb-ft of torque, delivering power to the front wheels through an 11.59:1 final drive ratio. The motor utilizes segmented magnets to reduce heat buildup and energy loss, while silicon carbide inverter materials minimize energy loss between the 65 kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate battery and the drive unit.
The battery system delivers up to 410 kilometres of GM-estimated range on a full charge, making it suitable for daily driving patterns in Saskatchewan, where the average Canadian drives roughly 50 kilometres per day. The Bolt’s single-motor, front-wheel-drive configuration weighs 1713 kg at base curb weight, with the battery pack positioned low in the chassis to optimize handling characteristics. The regenerative braking system has been refined to provide consistent pedal feel during both regenerative and friction braking, addressing feedback from previous Bolt owners. One-Pedal Driving mode remains available, allowing drivers to modulate speed primarily through the accelerator pedal. The heat pump HVAC system actively manages cabin and battery temperatures, extending range in cold Saskatchewan winters by reducing the energy required for heating.
