Today, the most important thing to consumers when purchasing a car is MPG and it's obvious why. With rising gas prices and a slow moving economy, people are paying more attention to how much they spend at the pump. The award-winning 2012 Chevy Volt is a symbol of the radical evolution that has taken place in the mobility industry because of these factors. Whether you live a "green" lifestyle or simply want to save money on gas, the Volt is a great vehicle option. It offers incredible fuel savings, low-emissions, high-tech features and more. These are just a few of the reasons why it is a great alternative to the Toyota Prius, Nissan Leaf, Ford Focus and Mazda3.
With the Volt, you won't have to sacrifice fuel economy for performance. The electric range-extended, plug-in delivers excellent MPG, even on battery power alone. Its cutting-edge storage battery is managed carefully, and when it needs to be re-charged, a range-extending gasoline engine is on board to generate electricity for the electric powertrain. The Volt's range is 340 miles with a full tank of fuel and fully charged battery. The Volt comes with a 149 horsepower electric motor that produces 273 pound-feet of torque. The motor is powered by a 16-kWh lithium-ion battery pack until it reaches a 70 percent depletion rate. At this point, a 1.4-liter four-cylinder internal combustion engine takes over. If you are cruising along at a high speed, the four-cylinder also kicks in to help directly power the wheels.
