We’ve been patiently waiting for the Chevy Bolt EUV for quite a bit now, learning more and more details about the upcoming electric hatch-crossover along the way, while also bringing you the latest spy photos. Today, we have more details of the Chevy Bolt EUV interior via a set of new spy shots.
Overall, it would appear that the design of the upcoming EV’s cockpit will remain similar to that of the current Chevrolet Bolt EV, but with a few notable changes. For instance, the central display seen in these shots is definitely larger than the 10.2-inch LCD in the current Bolt EV.
Additionally, the Chevy Bolt EUV interior appears to feature a center stack that either removes or repositions the physical buttons for the audio and HVAC controls, as well as the hazard button. Doing so creates more space for the larger infotainment screen.
We can now see three buttons/knobs on the driver’s side edge of the display, and the hazard button on the front passenger-side of the display. The changes result in a more square-shaped space than the narrower, landscape orientation of the current screen on the current Bolt EV.
As GM Authority exclusively reported last August, we fully expect the upcoming Chevrolet Bolt EV refresh to also get these changes, along with new seats and various other updates.
Additionally, it’s worth noting that the Chevy Bolt EUV will have an entirely different cockpit from its corporate platform mate – Buick Velite 7, which will be a China-only affair. The interior of the Velite 7 features an upright, tablet-style display positioned at the top of the dash, while the Bolt EUV’s center display will be more smoothly integrated into the center stack. Both the Velite 7 and Chevy Bolt EUV will share the same version of the GM BEV2 platform, along with the general vehicle shape and electric drivetrains.
Set to launch sometime in 2021 as a 2022 model year vehicle, the Chevy Bolt EUV will be a slightly larger variant of the current Bolt EV, thanks to (roughly) an additional 12 inches of length. The Bolt EUV will also feature a slightly taller ride height and extra plastic cladding around the wheel wells and doors, giving it a more rugged, crossover-like appearance. Both the Bolt EUV and EV will be sold concurrently in the North American market.
The Bolt EUV will be the first Chevrolet (and first non-Cadillac GM vehicle) to offer the Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving system.
Chevy Bolt EUV production will take place at the GM Lake Orion plant, replacing the Chevy Sonic that will be discontinued in late October.

Are you sure this isn’t the second gen Bolt? It looks like the same size.
There is no such thing as a second gen bolt.
Size and price will determine whether the GEN 2 Bolt EV will be successful because if it is like Cadillac’s upcoming Lyriq that has a projected price of $200K then the GEN 2 Bolt is doomed for failure and this is because the number of people willing to spend $200K for a car is extremely small especially when competitors are selling their top tier EV for less than half.
the lyriq will not cost 200k the celestiq will. and the celestiq isn’t primarily looking to be “a seller” since 1.2 are being made a day.
Am I the only that doe snot understand why Chevy needs a tiny Bolt and an ever so slightly bigger Bolt?
here I the true CUV?
Yet GM puts a 7 inch screen in their cash cows the Silverado and Sierra. Lol!!!!!!! Mary Barra is a genius I tell ya!!!!
I doubt Mary Barra is designing the interior of the vehicles.
That said, I must be the only person that doesn’t really care how big the entertainment screen is in a car, assuming it does what I need.
The trucks are going to get the new interiors with larger screens. These are different vehicles with different life cycle and price points and product characteristics, so the fact that they don’t have the same screens is only natural.
By the way Crocker, none of what you or other critics have said about the GM trucks have prevented them from selling like gangbusters. Pretty much ends your already thin argument.
Sorry Charles but GM has been offering fourth quarter like discounts since January.
Not exclusive to GM in anyway…..It’s always “Trucktober or Truckuary or Trucktember….” at every brands dealership with $15,000 OFF STICKER!!! everywhere…..Ferd, DogdgeramSRTFargo and whatever the other 2 are, Nissan or something…..I don’t recall…..
Kill the ugly outdated Bolt!
The Velite 7 is 3.8 inches longer than the Bolt (164×167.8). Something isn’t right, why two models so similar and small? Ford will outsell both with the Mach-E.
If the EUV is a rebadge Velite 7 (and it looks like) something is wrong. The Velite 7 is just 3 inches longer than the Bolt, not 12.
If GM releases 2 models similar in size and price, I guess Ford will outsell both of them with the Mach-E.
