Used 2023 Chevy Bolt EV Hatchback Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Bolt is available in two trims: the 1LT and 2LT. Both models are equipped with a 65-kWh battery pack under the floor, sending power to a single electric motor (200 horsepower, 266 lb-ft) that drives the front wheels. The EPA's estimated range is the same on both trims: 259 miles on a full charge, though we've exceeded that during our real-world testing. The slightly larger Chevy Bolt EUV is reviewed separately on Edmunds. Feature highlights for the Bolt include:

1LT
This entry-level Chevy Bolt comes with:

  • LED headlights
  • DC fast-charging capability (50 kW)
  • 17-inch alloy wheels
  • Keyless entry with push-button start
  • 10.2-inch central display screen
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration (both with wireless connectivity)
  • Six-speaker sound system
  • Single-zone automatic climate control
  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the Bolt back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)

Main options for the 1LT include:

  • Comfort and Convenience package
    • Power-adjustable driver's seat
    • Heated front seats
    • Heated and leather-wrapped steering wheel
    • Auto-dimming rearview mirror
  • Driver Confidence package
    • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing)
    • Rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible behind the vehicle when parking)

2LT
Comes with all of the above plus:

  • Standard Comfort and Convenience and Driver Confidence packages
  • Roof rails
  • Leather seats
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Bolt and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

The 2LT is available with a few options including:

  • Infotainment package
    • Seven-speaker Bose audio system
    • Wireless phone charging pad
    • Additional USB ports
  • Adaptive cruise control (requires Infotainment package)

Which Bolt EV trim does Edmunds recommend?

Go for the Bolt's 2LT trim. It adds a considerable number of tech and nice-to-have features, as well as unlocking some options not available on the 1LT model. One of those options is the Infotainment package. It adds an upgraded Bose stereo, a surround-view camera system, a wireless charging pad and more USB ports. To that we'd also get the adaptive cruise control system to make traffic jams just that much easier.
