Chevrolet Bolt EUV Interior Previewed In New Spy Shots

Earlier this week, GM Authority exclusively reported that the upcoming 2021 Chevrolet Bolt EV refresh will feature updates to the interior, including improvements to the seats. In addition to that, the Bow Tie brand is also expected to debut the Chevrolet Bolt EUV – its second battery-powered model – around the same time as the Bolt EV refresh. And now, we’re getting a sneak peek at the EUV’s interior thanks to new spy photos.

The big ticket item that we can see thus far is the redesigned dashboard when compared to the Bolt EV. It would appear that, as a result of that redesign, the Bolt EUV will feature a new center stack along with a larger infotainment screen.

Whereas the original Chevrolet Bolt EV features a screen that’s flush with the center stack, the new screen in the Bolt EUV appears to protrude from the center console, as evidenced by the visible “hump” at the top of the stack. This suggests that the screen will be positioned higher and in a more upright position compared to the Bolt EV.

That said, it’s also possible that the “hump” is the result of air vents being moved higher up on the dash. Such a configuration would fall in line with Chevrolet’s current interior design direction, as seen on the new Chevy TrailBlazer. The configuration should also enable an increase in overall screen width, which will undoubtedly help the Chevrolet Bolt EUV stand out in the growing electric vehicle segment.

For those who may be unaware, the Chevrolet Bolt EUV is an upcoming small crossover from the Bow Tie brand. It will join the Bolt EV, rather than replace it.

While related to the Bolt EV with regard to the underlying architecture, battery pack, and drivetrain, the EUV be larger in size and offer more practicality compared to the Bolt EV, which is essentially a subcompact hatchback.

Given that the Chevrolet Bolt EV is getting some additional range for the 2020 model year for a total of 259 miles, we would expect the Bolt EUV to get the same propulsion upgrade, while delivering similar amounts of range.

The 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV is expected to arrive at dealers this fall with a handful of minor changes, the most prominent of which is greater range. Meanwhile, the 2021 model year refresh is expected to drop in the fall of 2020 and deliver updates to the interior, along with a few other changes. The Chevrolet Bolt EUV should show up around that that same (fall 2020) timeframe.

  1. Can’t really see or tell too much yet from these pics, but it kind of has a similar look to the new Encore GX/Trailblazer twins. It would be great if Buick would get an all electric Encore model. I’ve ridden in Bolts for short trips and they seem nice and quiet enough. But with an all electric drive train, the Buick Encore would be fantastic. Any chance of this??

  2. good luck to any manufacturer selling an EV without the 7500 federal tax incentive.

    you might have a shot in the luxury market but amongst the value brands, that is going to be one tough sell when others have that tax incentive in their pocket.

    1. Unless they are priced competitively. Baltimore has currently 14k off sticker price. I would do that without rebate incentives but am waiting to see how the improvements are next year. So if price range is similar….

      1. Don’t expect $14k off a refreshed Bolt. I wonder if that Bolt served as a GM press vehicle

  3. I know the long swept windscreen is prolly for increased fuel eiffeciency, but it make the hood look so short and stubby in comparison. Doesn’t look much more aesthetically pleasing than the bolt. The Bolt is a decent car, but it is one of the ugliest things i have ever seen… and i drive a sonic.

    1. The looks of the Bolt have grown on me. I remember when I first saw it thinking “no way, I cannot drive that”. Then I started seeing them in person and thought “hmmm, that’s actually not that bad, bigger than it looks in pictures”. Then I did some test drives. vroom, vroom. I was sold. No regrets. 5 year total cost of ownership of a $20-$25k ICE car, but faster and more fun than anything in that segment. I cross-shopped with a GTI. Bolt was much more pleasant AND fun to drive.

  4. When did cars become so boring?

    1. Too many female buyers , outsourcing and phoney doomsday preparers, “Alpha” and MGTOW men in the US buy overcompensating pick-ups/SUVs and greedy US manufacturers claim nobody wants an affordable performance car while the Euros put out 9000 hp coupes and sedan (for a price) .

      The muscle car might be the next victim..

      1. So true. I live on a legit farm and I don’t own a pick up because I don’t need one. Tractors and an old suv get the job done. Yet the f150 is the biggest selling vehicle in the country. Pure marketing.

  5. When it’s all said and done, the spent energy cells go to, when no long to specifications ? Send them to a 3rd world country for disposal/recycled ? Diffenative answer the truth is still hugh carbon trail ?

    1. Most batteries when they outlive their useful lives in the car still hold a very significant charge and find reuse in grid or other battery backup solutions for builds.

      1. In a 3rd world country ? And Then they go ? It’s hazmat ! You do understand what diffenative means. Is that a good thing? I think not !

          Most EVs & PHEVs ever built are still on the road today. With their original batteries.
          The batteries were made to be recycled, but not enough have failed to make an industry out of it.
          I think most have ended up in research labs.

          1. Sounds good, then why my cellphone battery lasts only short time, phones still in working order, then makes it’s way to that 3rd world country to dismantle and recycle. Hopefully we’ll be better stewards soon. Thanks Peter G.

            1. Cell phone batteries are made much more energy dense. Are pushed to much higher and lower states of charge and contain no thermal management. So they see a lot more stress than an electric vehicle battery.

        2. I don’t think you know what it means either because “diffenative” isn’t a word.
