Some Woodward ‘Silent Cruise’ Attendees Received Rides In The 2017 Chevy Bolt EV

This past Tuesday marked the second iteration of General Motors’ Silent Cruise down Woodward Avenue, a precursor to the noise and congestion that is the Woodward Dream Cruise.

As part of the event, GM and Chevrolet brought along a handful of pre-production 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EVs for some lucky attendees to take for a ride. From the passenger seat, one individual recorded his experience and also uncovered a few additional details about the upcoming electric vehicle.

The details, sorted out by Inside EVs, are as follows:

  • The Bolt EV produces more power at higher RPMs than the Nissan Leaf or Chevrolet Volt
  • A more powerful heater will be included for quicker warm-up times
  • Michelin Energy Saver, all-season tires will be standard and also identical to the Volt’s
  • The orange hue found on the Bolt EV show car is not intended for production, but an orange will be offered
  • The “L” setting on the gear selector will bring the Bolt EV to a halt, but does not have a creep function. Drive, however, does.
