Used 2017 Chevy Volt Hatchback Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2017 Volt is a five-seat, plug-in hybrid hatchback sedan offered in LT and Premier trims. Both come with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of twin electric motors (149 total horsepower), a 1.5-liter gasoline engine/generator and a 18.4-kWh lithium-ion battery pack. You need to plug it in to recharge fully, but the battery pack can also be partially recharged on the go from the gas engine/generator and regenerative braking. The LT comes reasonably well equipped, while the Premier is more upscale and provides access to more optional advanced driver safety aids.
Which Volt trim does Edmunds recommend?
There's not much choice when it comes to the Volt, but we think that getting the Premier trim level is the way to go. Though the base LT is reasonably well equipped and can be fitted with some optional upgrades such as leather upholstery, we like that these features (plus a few extras) come standard on the Premier. The Premier is also the only trim that offers optional advanced driver safety aids. Also be on the lookout for the Premier's available tan-and-black interior color scheme; you might like how it livens up the Volt's otherwise gloomy all-black interior design.
