General Motors just unveiled the all-new 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV, expanding the Bolt lineup with a more practical, SUV-style body variant.
Outside, the 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV brings its own distinctive styling, standing apart from the Bolt EV with unique sheet metal and exterior dimensions, including an extra 6 inches of length when compared to the Bolt EV. The 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV also features a sculpted front end and LED headlamps, as well as sequential turn-signal indicators.
Inside, customers will also find an extra three inches of rear legroom compared to the Bolt EV. Tech features include a 10.2-inch infotainment screen and 8-inch digital gauge cluster, plus an electronic gear shifter.
The 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV options list includes ventilated and heated front seats and a panoramic power sunroof. Notably, the Bolt EUV is the first Chevrolet model to offer General Motors’ Super Cruise semi-autonomous driver assist system, which enables drivers to remove their hands from the steering wheel during extended highway driving on 200,000 miles of roads throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Additional tech features include standard Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian Braking, Automatic Emergency Braking, IntelliBeam, and Following Distance Indicator. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also offered.
Range per charge in the 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV is rated at 250 miles, with an onboard 65-kWh lithium-ion battery providing the juice. Customers can get up to 95 miles of range in 30 minutes using standard DC fast charge capabilities.
The new Bolt EUV also comes standard with a Dual Level Charge Cord, which includes a changeable plug with a standard 120-volt three-prong plug for Level 1 charging, and another plug for Level 2 charging up to 7.2 kW.
Motivation is sourced from a single-motor drive unit producing 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque.
Chevrolet is offering to cover the installation of Level 2 charging capabilities for eligible customers who purchase or lease a 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV. Further charging is available through the EVgo network, with 2,700 chargers slated to open by the end of 2025. Customers will also have access to location data on a further 80,000 chargers throughout North America through the myChevrolet app.
Pricing for the 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV starts at $33,995, including destination. Availability will open up this summer.

Why did they bother doing a Bolt AND a Bolt EUV?
I have been staring at this for several minutes and can’t tell the difference.
They cut the price of the standard Bolt by about $5k. We don’t know if there will be any re-thinking of the EV tax incentives. If there is, an already good car will IMO sell very well.
What’s very well to you? I bet Chevy doesn’t sell 50k a year. The charge times are so damn slow.
I bet you don’t charge at all now.
They sold 20k in 2020 with periodic incentives of 10k off.
You might want to READ the article and then put on a new pair of glasses
Only after reading your comment did I realize there were two of them so I obviously agree. My guess would be that it’s because Mary promised to launch a whole bunch of EVs over the next five years so two are needed to meet her numbers.
The cross over and SUV market is heavily segmented with 7 or 8 different sizes where before there was small medium and large!
My point exactly, Chevrolet goofed I wouldn’t pay $25,000 for either one of them UGLY EVs that will drop in value faster than a Yugo
A 2 year old Bolt can be had for 12k. Nice.
The dimensions between the two vehicles are different, you can really catch it on the other article that covers the differences between the two which basically talks about the same topic.
Next stop sb optometrist then
Before the standard anti-electric / anti- Mary Barra comments come in, I want to say this is a HUGE improvement over the current Bolt design language both inside and out and on a slightly larger model. The slight differences from the smaller model do enough to separate the two.
Yes, it looks slightly better.
Not a fan of the grill though. It looks like someone stretched aluminum foil over it.
It’s so close in size to the Bolt EV. Why not something bigger?
This is still on the older Bev2 platform. Bev3 Vehicles will come in larger and more verity.
Variety*
Right. Chevy already has a larger crossover similar in size and proportions to the Lyriq coming in the near future.
That does seem to be a theme with GM.
“Oh, just wait! Eventually we’ll have somthing that doesn’t suck!”
Brand new tech takes time.
Hopefully it’s the “Vette SUV “
The Vette SUV is only an idea at this point, but it is currently being strongly considered. The upcoming midsize Chevy crossover is an entirely new model, new name.
I love the dash layout !
Put that into the Cadillac CT5 and I will be in line.
10.5″ screen and in the dash is a win, win with me !
I DO NOT like the screens lying on or sticking out of the dash.
I also like the ability to clean the dash as one surface and not 300 like the dash in my 2020 Denali !
Still not a Bolt buyer, yet not bad for a certain buyer.
The interior is pretty good. But given the excellent design potential of GM the exterior styling is brutally underwhelming. I am seriously unimpressed by how these new Bolt EVs look.
They are intentionally leaving the designs of the Bolt siblings pretty plain. This general theme is going to define all future Chevy EV products, but they’re waiting for the Ultium versions to go bold with the styling.
Just for your info, the larger the vehicles, the more bold and eye-catching the styling. That’s Chevy’s plan. You’ll like how the large crossovers, SUVs and trucks look, as well as a particular sports coupe.
That’s ridiculous. That’s like a conspiracy theory.
They are purposely sabotaging their products by making them look boring?
Lol, not at all. What styling is more extreme/dramatic, a Ranger or an F-150 Raptor? A Renegade or a Wagoneer? A 2 Series or an 8 series?
The only one saying sabotaging anything here is you. It’s common knowledge in the industry that the smaller and cheaper the model, the less extravagant the styling. Though in your defense, you may not be in the industry.
Like I said, you’ll see exactly what I mean in the coming months. I won’t say I told you so as it happens.
I’m sabotaging things? I’m just bummed that GM can’t do any better than this.
It’s funny the difference between this site, where everyone fawns over everything GM does, and the EV sites or thedrive where the commenters are currently tearing this thing apart.
True on that last point. Though it’s a fact that EV evangelists like Tesla fans have always hated on anything GM does, electric or not, due to the fact that A.) its fashionable, and B.) they’ll always be pissed (even if they have no clue) about the EV1. GM was vilified as a truck and SUV global warmer, and they apparently always will be to these people. Irrational hating.
I’ve had the benefit of being middle of the road on GM for years now. They do many good things (C8 Corvette, full-size SUVs, Hummer EV, etc) and many stupid things (killing off CT6/Blackwing, ignition scandal, general bean counting), but there’s also much in between. I’m just saying that you need to sit back and buckle up, the Bolt siblings are just a minor placeholder for the product tsunami that’s coming in the very near future. It’s very exciting stuff.
G8Burnout,
You said “….the Bolt siblings are just a minor placeholder for the product tsunami that’s coming in the very near future.” Isn’t that the story of gm’s (formerly GM’s) life though; there’s always something great around the corner? Just you wait! That’s always the excuse. Season after season, the mantra is always for fans to wait. How foolish we all were to believe all the hype about a new product every six months for Cadillac a couple of years ago. People actually believed that this time, finally, they were going to get it right, they were going to win. The red, white, and blue would send the Germans back to the drawing board. It didn’t happen. Cadillac is in worse shape than ever.
Trouble is, gm always cheaps out, they make grandiose promises and never deliver, usually cost cutting is the named culprit. Why is the brand new, as of today, Bolt EV and Bolt EUV already so underwhelming? Why are we once again saying wait’ll next year. The Bolt is the beginning of gm’s big EV push. It should impress. Mightily. If it doesn’t, why should anyone expect next time will be different?
sooo Ci2Eye you’ve been ignoring the differences between the BEV2 and BEV3 platforms and the previous press releases from gm….
@Nebula
Exactly. That was the point I made.
Updating the Bolt and Bolt EUV was not only cost-effective for GM, but profitable. There was no reason not to. But again, they’re only placeholders.
The Ultium BEV3 and BT1 products are going to be the fruits of billions of dollars in investments, the Bolts are just carryovers. And those vehicles are going to be extremely desirable, both in tech, range, power and design.
yup!
Ci2Eye. Damn, you and your endless drama. Are you ever satisfied? Maybe you should start to make your expectations something more realistic.
Cadillac did release product every 6 months over the time period they specified. Are they 750 horse gas guzzlers that 99.9% of the population doesn’t want/need? No. But they are about to release two track monsters that blow the doors off their competition. Sadly, you still whine endlessly, creating new reasons why they aren’t good enough.
Now you’re complaining the Bolt and Bolt EUV are such let downs. Have you driven either one? Show us a lower priced Brand new EV on the market that is better than the Bolt/Bolt EUV. One that is available with Super Cruise. They don’t exist.
Time you learn to accept that not all models are built to your requirements. Reality is, no car maker can meet your requirements because you’ll change those requirements to suit your endless complaining.
You’re either guessing or have some inside info. Hopefully the later. Tell me a about this sports coupe 🙂
I’m not guessing lol, that I can tell you. At this point, little can be said about design, etc., but I can say the name will be very familiar 😉 Also, Cadillac will be getting a coupe as well, but it will be very different from the one Chevy is getting. Totally different mission, and rightly so.
@G8Burnout
I know I will be crucified by this but I have been saying for the last two years that Fortunately or unfortunately for the Camaro name to survive it will have to go to EV. I just do not see another Platform they can use for it to keep it ICE. So in my book I am assuming it is the Camaro you are speaking of.
I can neither confirm nor deny that it is the Camaro. Though I will say this, the ICE Camaro will only be around for a few more years before it ends production. The CT4 and CT5 will almost certainly go with it, but that’s fluid as of now. Maybe a refresh for the two, but definitely no second generations.
“but I can say the name will be very familiar 😉 ‘
Beretta?….
On a serious note some type of Camaro?.
You said it, not me 😉
I just want them to bring the Volt name back xD
Definitely not ruled out! It was the perfect name for an electrified car
Well they be built in the US?
Yes. In Michigan.
LGR?
Orion! The Bolt has been built there since 2017.
Tell me more about this EV Monte Carlo.
Hahaha, well played.
I think it looks good. Improved especially at the rear. Let’s hope GM replaced the narrow-ass front seats of the first-gen Bolt with some legitimately comfortable ones.
They did.
I am wondering if this is a bit late consider VW ID4 is not that much more expensive.
The VW starts at $39,995 and the Bolt starts at $33.995. That equates to a 17.6% difference. Add in additional sales tax and the additional finance charges and you’re close to a 19% difference. I would love to have a19% salary increase
That is true however VW can claim the 7500 government credit for now.
There is legislation in the works to give GM and Tesla another 400000 cars for the tax credit.
There is also State and Local credits people can take advantage of.
That would be great news if it can be passed.
Yes … we should help American companies …
Right now we are paying foreign companies all this taxpayer money to dump elec cars here while they put huge non tariffs on the vehicles we try to sell in their markets … ie: a Chevy Volt after unfair trade cost $80,000 in Japan , China, UK etc … if you wanted to buy this new Bolt in Japan , China etc it will cost $80,000 also. We have to stop unfair trade.
Stopping unfair trade is not going to happen. I agree that it should but it isn’t in the cards for the foreseeable future.
GM don’t have to worry about reaching 400,000 units with this it’s not going to happen
You mean TAXPAYER credit? There are no magical money trees growing in D.C.
And lets not forget that VW has already committed to the id.4 starting at 35K once the Tennessee plant is up and running next year. So yes I agree that this Bolt EUV and the Bolt EV will be seeing a lot of Rebates most likely. As I have been stating GM better have a Chevrolet Ultium CUV ASAP.
What does Bolt cost in Germany!
We should do the same to VW vehicles !
I believe that Chevrolet has no ambition to sell its electric models in Europe!
At least VW intends to manufacture ID models in the USA, unlike Chevrolet, which would have to export its models.
Without All Wheel Drive this will not sell as well as it needs to.
It really doesn’t need it, and there is no room for a rear motor.
They should have thought of that though. GM went too cheap again.
For the target market of this Small CUV it isn’t needed.
Where’s the Hemi option?
In a Dodge product.
Since this is obviously just a Buick Velite 7 with a Chevy badge, are they at least building it here? Like at Lake Orion or something?
Yes it’s being built at Lake Orion along side it’s smaller cousin Bolt.
I think they should have saved their money. There isn’t anywhere near enough change in these cars to justify the investment unless they were able to redesign them for better manufacturing costs etc . Hopefully Biden will buy enough of these until the next gen comes out.
The EUV looks weird. The regular Bolt screams ‘change for change’s sake’…and not to good effect.
Yeah I don’t see the public caring about this. There just isn’t anything compelling about it.
That won’t stop the government though, so maybe they’ll order up a bunch of them.
I agree
Disagree
Then you’ll complain that GM never updates their models. Or, they left another segment and now they’ll never be a leader again in any model they build.
As a 30 year plus, fan-boy of GM, this vehicle inspires as much excitement in me as a bowel movement I had an hour ago.
Exactly! I KNOW GM is capable of doing a more inspired Chevy design for these EVs, but they didn’t raise the bar at all. That is what frustrates me, GM design is extremely formidable, so when they fail to reach their capabilities I have to call them out.
I’d like some evidence that GM design is still formidable.
Take a loot at full-size trucks and SUVs. While the keyboard warriors were sitting here trashing the Silverado redesign, it actually increased sales.
with tax credits, these are a credible alternative to gas powered vehicles. good job gm!!!
These don’t qualify for tax credits.
i think it is just a matter of time before biden expands the program and gm/tesla will qualify again for the tax credits.
so if they get the 7500 federal + ??? state, that is a compelling price.
GM has been developing the Bolt since 2011 I would say. Maybe even earlier. There are hardly any improvements over 10 years. The exterior looks better but it’s not great. They tried to copy the Mach Es front bumper which doesn’t look that good to me. The charging times are absolutely pitiful. There’s no available awd. I bet it stil doesn’t have power seats. And it definitely has a terrible audio system. The infotainment is already 3 years old. 10 years into development and we get this. Wow! It’s simple, make the Blazer electric and I’d bet it would sell twice as much as these two vehicles combined.
I’m with you on wishing there was an AWD option. Power seats don’t really matter to me since I tend to be the only one that drives my car.
The infotainment in the 2022’s is completely different from the pre-refresh Bolt. It looks like they are using the mylink system instead of using the one created with LG. The cluster might be mostly the same but there’s definitely some things new about it.
They took the Cluster and Infotainment3 system from the 2019 Volt and gave it a slight lick of paint to change it over for Bolt use.
The designers lacked a little creativity regarding the design of the taillights! They are very similar to the crossover designed by VW in Brazil, Nivus!
This looks pretty nice.
It is priced correctly (although I was hopeful it would have been 30K)
It is a great way for GM to add more rear legroom for customers at a minimum investment as this is just a Chinese Buick Velite 7 with a different front, rear end, and interior. It is also a great way to recoup some money on their OLD Battery and Motor Tech prior to Ultium powering everything.
Having said all that, GM better have a Chevrolet version of a Mustang Mach-E, Nissan Ayria, and VW id.4 ASAP.
This Bolt EUV will simply not get it done. It is for city use only. People will cross shop this and will not want to DC Fast charge at up to 50 MPH…..That is just NOT competitive at all anymore. GM needs Ultium vehicles ASAP. For all of their Brands.
GM cannot allow Ford, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, and VW to leapfrog them in the mainstream EV Market. If they do, it might become a real uphill Battle. Lets not also forget that Elon Musk has announced a 25K car is on the way. GM better Speed these EV vehicles up or get left behind.
Great discussion thread! No politics…
Eating popcorn.
Am I one of the only ones that thinks the GM designers are having a tough time figuring out how to design something that looks good. I mean the new Chevy HD trucks, non High Country look like they got beat by the ugly branch from the tree they fell out of and this EUV looks like a revamped Pontiac Vibe.. Come on GM get it together and design something that is different but in a good way. How about a revamped EUV that looks like the Aztec. I mean if people like the looks of the Cybertruck, maybe that would be a hot item too….sigh
You’re not the only one. This site is obviously extremely pro-GM though.
I used to be a huge fan of GM, but I’m getting used to them missing the mark.
The ticket if you want to sample the electric world (IMO) is a two year old 12K miles volt for around 14K.
Well another dud from GM, can’t say I’m surprised. Not sure why this wasn’t the Bolt to begin with. All this will do is take away from regular Bolt sales. Combined sales barely 35k!
Ok first a question: Why are the EUV and EV batteries 65 kwh when brand new – the current BOLT EV has 66 kwh? Long term, my 2017 Bolt ev that was 60 kwh when new is ‘rated’ long term at 57 kwh. Long term, likewise the current bolt’s new 66 kwh battery should be 62.7 kwh.
Assuming these are all the same batteries since the EPA range of the NEW Bolt EV is still 259 miles (250 for the EUV), why the ‘nomenclature change’?
It was not mentioned, other than saying the new ‘occasional use cord’ is 7.2 kw standard in the EUV and optionally available with the EV, I wonder why the main charging ‘improvement’ (Fast charging for both cars remains at 55 kw) the at-home charge rate is now supposedly 11 kw (with a 48 ampere wall box).
I have heard no one ANYWHERE complain about the existing 7.7 kw on-board-charger the car has had since the 2017 model. Unless GM got a good price on this larger 11 kw model and plans on using it as the base charger on ALL electric vehicles from now on, with an optional 19 kw unit for the Caddy Lyriq and presumably also for the more expensive GMC hummers..
Myself, If I was buying a 2022 BOLT EV (seeing as it has many better dimensions and a lower-price than the EUV) 1LT super-basic trim level – I would just like to have some of this stuff that I’ll never use remain optional..
With the Toyota Rav4 PRIME – buyers will have the OPPOSITE problem. Those who want a ‘BIG’ 6.6 kw on-board-charger, and a 1,500 watt inverter (to cook bacon or whatever when camping) have to spend almost $10,000 extra to get these features over the base model sold in the USA. If they spend less than $10,000 then they get a S-L-O-W 3.3 kw charger and a 400 watt inverter – enough to charge up a big laptop, or a fast charging tool battery – but that is it.
Time to buy an aftermarket ‘Harbor Junk Tools’ cheapie inverter for the bacon.
I think the 48A charger is going to be the baseline from now on for GM EVs. Most people won’t need the faster charge but I could have used it to save time in at least one occasion in my 2018. Personally if there was a higher cost option to get a full 80A onboard, I’d take it. Quite a few public places I know of have 80A EVSEs and only being able to charge at 32A on them seems unnecessarily slow in comparison. You’re not obligated to have faster equipment installed in your house if you truely don’t need the faster charge rate.
For the battery question I think it’s just rounding. In hearing the engineers talk about the 2022 models they almost always say 65″+”.
Hi Nero :
Of course it depends on the discharge rate….If anything like the 2017 BOLT ev I currently have (60 kwh rating when new), I could get over 60 kwh out of it when discharging it slowly, – however aggressive or fast driving with the heater on full blast would prevent even getting 60 – due to the esr (equivalent series resistance) of the battery… The chemical energy was heating the battery instead of appearing as electricity.
I do not understand arbitrary changes like this, and I wonder how come adults cannot make up their minds initially as how to rate things.
Unless of course, IF the 66 kwh battery has not lived up to its capacity rating even when brand new – that would be the only rational reason to change it.
Still not practical to me as an all. Too long to charge and too short a range. If you are a multi vehicle family it might be ok but if it’s your only vehicle no way.
With this push to EV’s what are apartment dwellers or people who have to park on the street supposed to do.
Can you answer this GM.
Complain to your management company that they don’t provide options for you to charge your car. Or find a new place to live that solves your problem.
What do you expect, GM is supposed to solve every challenge in life that you encounter?
Missed the point didn’t you.
These cars are not for everyone…. Although I only have 3 plug-in vehicles (1 BEV, 2 PHEV) by GM, certain people with absolutely no access to a charging power source would probably prefer to choose one of GM’s or another manufacturer’s ICE or Hybrid gasoline powered vehicles.
These cars are for those who have a very reliable source to recharge the vehicle at least every other day. Many people fall into this category and then many do not.
It is rather like the purchase of a Toyota Murai outside of California. where there is almost no chance to refill the thing with Hydrogen… 3 years free fuel Toyota provides is of no use to someone without access to it.
Come on it’s the future, let’s look for solutions rather than stay where we are! Does your apartment block still have stables for horses?
Looks great, good job Chevy. very sporty looking, this is a good answer to the Mustang Ev IMO
Good Job GM!!
This is a good test for all the electric cars they plan for the US, grid not doing real good in the cold is it!
This isn’t the worst of the EV dream…
China is the only country that mines the minerals for the EV batteries. US stopped mining years ago based on the environmental protection.
US buys these minerals from China. A couple years back when Toyota was really the only manufacturer selling EVs, Prius batteries was put on hold until Toyota caved into China’s price increase demands.
This will be another clog in the EV dream. Options, re-open mining in the Northwest and be self dependent, make a different type of cell, or continue to buy from China until they demand something from the US. Just another example from not being prepared i.e. China manufacturing US medicines.
Until then, ICE all the way…
China isn’t the only country mining the minerals needed for Batteries. There are several countries, China just happens to be the largest supplier for now…
It’s the same old same old. They couldn’t even come up with a name for it. Another sub-compact EV from GM, what a surprise. When they get around to EV’s in the current Traverse size, at the current Traverse price, give me a call.
As was already reported on this very website months ago, the Bolt EUV is essentially the same as………….the Buick Velite 7 EV. Hmmmm, where do those sell? CHINA!!
Once again many, many folks here ask why do this vehicle? Why this size? Why not use the new Ultium platform/battery? Once again the answer to these questions is the same, China. The Velite 7 EV is already on sale over there, has been for months. Here we get the rebadged Chevy version, end of story.
I will repeat the obvious once more……most future Buicks and Cadillacs will be designed and developed with the Chinese market as the primary influence.
The Bolt EUV is simply a re-badge of the, already on sale in China, Buick Velite 7 EV. Because many, many more of those will be sold than the Bolt EUV, that vehicle dictates many of the design and development parameters. China again!
If you’re not as well skilled as an online poker participant you can enter the low stakes tables. Keep in mind that you do not know what goes with that move, or the technique behind it.
