2027 Chevrolet Bolt
Your Guide to the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt
Maple Ridge Chevrolet Buick GMC in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia, welcomes drivers to explore the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt, a compact electric hatchback built on a formula that earned its predecessor a loyal following across Canada. Returning as a limited-run model, the 2027 Bolt retains the roomy five-door layout and practical footprint that made it a staple of urban and suburban commutes, now updated with faster charging capability, expanded screen real estate, and Chevrolet’s first native NACS port. With a GM-estimated driving range reaching 410 km on a full charge, the Bolt addresses the daily needs of drivers throughout Vancouver Island and the broader British Columbia region, where routes often mix city grids, highway stretches, and varied terrain.
What’s new on the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt?
Technology
Google built-in integration powers the infotainment system, bringing Google Maps navigation, Google Assistant voice control, and access to entertainment apps through OnStar Connectivity. Google Maps displays real-time charging station availability, incorporates range estimates based on driving behavior, and automatically suggests charging stops on longer routes. When DC fast charging infrastructure appears along a planned route, the system preconditions the battery to optimize charging performance upon arrival, reducing the time required to reach 80 percent state of charge.
Voice commands activated by “Hey Google” handle climate adjustments, seat warmer settings, hands-free phone calls, and even smart-home device integration, allowing drivers to trigger garage door openers or adjust home thermostats as they approach. When parked or charging, occupants can access apps such as Angry Birds, Chrome, GameSnacks, Tubi, and Prime Video directly from the dashboard, with additional titles available for download via Google Play. Available Super Cruise driver assistance technology integrates with Google Maps to display compatible highway stretches and show how many kilometers of a planned trip can be completed hands-free, while lane-positioning enhancements guide the vehicle accurately through interchange ramps and exits.
Exterior
Measuring 4307 mm in length and 1770 mm in width (mirrors retracted), the 2027 Bolt maintains the compact hatchback profile that defined earlier iterations, making parallel parking and lane changes straightforward in tighter urban environments. A 2675 mm wheelbase and 141 mm of ground clearance support stable handling on paved roads, while the hatchback configuration facilitates cargo loading through a wide rear opening. Seven paint options allow buyers to select a finish that suits personal preference, and 17-inch aluminum wheels come in three distinct finishes to further customize appearance.
The RS trim introduces visual differentiation with high-gloss black wheels, unique grille badging, and roof rails finished in black. An exclusive Atomic Yellow exterior option pairs with red interior accent stitching on RS models, creating a contrast-focused aesthetic. Standard models and RS variants alike share the same body dimensions, ensuring consistent aerodynamic performance and cabin volume across the lineup. The hatchback design prioritizes utility, with 458 litres of cargo space behind the rear seat and 1594 litres when the rear seatbacks fold flat, accommodating weekend gear or larger purchases without requiring a larger vehicle footprint.
Interior
A driver-centric cabin centers on an 11.3-inch-diagonal infotainment touchscreen and an 11-inch-diagonal driver information display, both larger than the screens in previous Bolt generations. The column-mounted shifter frees up space between the front seats, where an open console layout and newly designed storage bins below the instrument panel keep frequently accessed items within easy reach. First-row occupants have 1016 mm of headroom (without the optional panoramic sunroof) and up to 1124 mm of maximum legroom, while second-row passengers receive 960 mm of headroom and 993 mm of legroom, suitable for adults on longer trips.
Standard heated front seats and a heated steering wheel address cold-weather comfort, and available ventilated front seats extend climate control during warmer months. Wireless phone charging appears as an available feature, reducing cable clutter, and multiple USB-C ports distributed throughout the cabin support device charging for all occupants. The dashboard balances physical controls for climate and audio with touchscreen menus, ensuring that critical adjustments remain accessible without deep menu navigation. An available panoramic sunroof introduces natural light and a sense of openness, complementing the cabin’s overall spaciousness of 2735 litres of passenger volume..
Powertrain
Under the hatchback floor sits a 65 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery feeding a single permanent-magnet motor that develops 210 hp and 169 lb-ft of torque. This front-wheel-drive configuration uses GM’s X76 electric drive unit, designed in-house to reduce rare-earth material content through segmented magnets that minimize heat buildup and energy loss. Silicon carbide inverter materials further improve efficiency by reducing conversion losses between the battery and motor, contributing to the 410 km GM-estimated range when fully charged.
A final drive ratio of 11.59:1 translates motor torque into usable acceleration for merging and passing, while the single-speed transmission eliminates gear hunting and delivers smooth, linear power delivery. The battery management system incorporates a heat pump HVAC setup, which actively heats and cools both the cabin and the battery pack to maintain optimal operating temperatures in diverse weather conditions. Blended regenerative braking recaptures kinetic energy during deceleration, regardless of whether drivers activate One-Pedal Driving mode, and the braking system has been tuned for consistent pedal feel when transitioning between regenerative and friction braking, addressing a refinement goal over earlier models.
The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt arrives in two core trims, each addressing different priorities within the compact electric hatchback segment. Both share the same 65 kWh battery, 210 hp motor, and 410 km estimated range, ensuring no compromise in driving capability when selecting between them.
