General Motors is gearing up to release a vast array of new all-electric models, including the forthcoming Chevy Bolt EUV. Now, one artist has gone ahead and rendered what the electric utility vehicle could look like.
Posted to Instagram by user @kdesignag, the new Chevy Bolt EUV rendering shows two angles of the crossover, including a front three-quarters view, and a rear three-quarters view. The front fascia looks as though it incorporates styling cues plucked from the 2020 Chevrolet Menlo EV, which debuted earlier this year as an all-new battery electric compact crossover built exclusively for the Chinese market.

Standout features include thin, drawn-back upper lighting elements and a silver lower fascia treatment similar to the Menlo, as well as large lower lamps, a chiseled rear fender, and an angled C-pillar similar to the all-new 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer.

Roof rails up top add to the practicality side of the equation, while large, five-spoke alloy wheels reside in the corners. Moving to the rear, the square tail lamps also take after the Menlo, while the whole thing is ringed with flat-black plastic cladding for the lower body treatment.
We’ve previously seen prototypes of the upcoming Chevy Bolt EUV out testing in the real world, and have even used images of the prototypes to do a visual comparison between it and its smaller sibling, the Chevrolet Bolt EV.
As we’ve covered previously, the Chevy Bolt EUV will be based on GM’s BEV2 platform, the same architecture as the Bolt EV. The Bolt EUV name is an acronym for “Electric Utility Vehicle,” per the model’s larger size, with an additional 8 to 12 inches gained over the standard Bolt EV. Production is slated to take place at the GM Lake Orion plant in Orion Township, Michigan.
The Chevy Bolt EUV will be GM’s first fully electric vehicle to offer the Super Cruise semi-autonomous driver assist system.

It’s a copy of the Buick Velite 7 electric SUV. Buick and Chevy should not be interchangable, they should have their own distinctive styling and characteristics.
It’s not going to be a copy of the Velite7.
The rendering predicts it to be.
The spy shots don’t.
Rendering, not even close
Very good looking EV, however, I’ve heard that it will come with the same 66 kWh battery the current Bolt has. That means it will get less than 259 miles because of it’s heavier weight. If it does not come with a 300+ mile battery option, I will NOT buy it. I’ll just continue to use my 2017 Bolt until they come out with a 300+ mile range EUV/CUV/SUV or whatever they want to call it. Or I’ll get the Ford Mustang Mach-E SUV with the 300 mile range option. GM YOU HAVE GOT TO STEP IT UP AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A 300+ RANGE OPTION WITH THE BOLT EUV OR IT WILL BE ALMOST WORTHLESS IN TODAY’S EV MARKET.
Added range would be nice, but more important to me is kicking up the fast charging speeds to at least 100 kW. The reason I didn’t choose that option on my 2017 Bolt was I’m just not patient enough for its existing slow paced “fast” charging.
Chevrolet Menlo vs Bolt as this is essentially the same vehicle with a different name as no one expects Chevrolet to re-design the C8 Corvette for international sales especially when everyone knows that the Menlo works and no need to make major changes which can be expensive.
It will be interesting to see whether this render is anything close to the real thing or not.
Let’s see, a new version of the Bolt. That means the latest and greatest EV from GM is a slightly larger version of the ugly CUV it already makes. What a giant step forward! So glad we will have waited three years past the intro of the Bolt to get this Bolt 2.0! Why is it China can get half way attractive EV’s and we get these ugly things from GM?
The upper rear door area above the handle and just before the “C” pillar looks terrible. Leave it just like the Trailblazer has at that same point.
I am a proud owner of a 2017 Bolt EV and I just past the 90K mark. I will be looking for a new EV in the next few years, but I hope this is not the final design of the new Bolt EUV. It’s to bland from a design stand point. The new Nissan EV SUV looks much better, but it looks to much like all the other gas SUV’s, Toyota RAV, Honda, etc… I think a sharper EV design version based off the Blazer design would raise more eye brows or a design with sharper lines. I chose a Bolt over a Tesla for the convenience of a hatch and this EV has been terrific, but not perfect. I hate the speed limiter on the Bolt. If you can reach a range of 350+ would be another big plus…
Looking for the chevy EUV for April 2021 ,my lease is due on May 4 2021.
Super Cruise is great. Won’t purchase a EV without it
