The 2022 Chevy Bolt EV adds five new exterior colors to its palette: Bright Blue Metallic, Gray Ghost Metallic, Silver Flare Metallic, Ice Blue Metallic, and Cherry Red Tintcoat. Here’s our first look at the new Cherry Red hue.
Assigned RPO code GSK and touch-up paint code WA-252F, Cherry Red Tintcoat is one of seven exterior colors offered on the all-electric subcompact crossover/hatch. The complete color palette includes:
- Mosaic Black Metallic
- Summit White
- Bright Blue Metallic (new for 2022)
- Silver Flare Metallic (new for 2022)
- Ice Blue Metallic (new for 2022)
- Gray Ghost Metallic (new for 2022)
- Cherry Red Tintcoat (new for 2022)
The Cherry Red Tintcoat color is an extra-cost option that adds an additional $495 to the vehicle’s price. It is available on both 2022 Bolt EV trim levels – 1LT and 2LT. Jet Black is the only available interior colorway.
The 2022 Chevy Bolt EV represents the sixth model year of the first-generation Bolt EV, for which the electric model receives a refresh that consists of an updated exterior and interior. In addition, the 2022 model year expands the Bolt family by introducing the Bolt EV’s larger sibling, the 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV.
The refreshed exterior design of the 2022 Bolt EV adds entirely new front and rear fascias, with the most prominent change being a modernized forward lighting configuration that consists of a thin light at the top that represents the Daytime Running Lamps (DRLs) and turn signals. Meanwhile, the actual forward lights are located lower within the front fascia, inside the black vertical section. A reworked front “grille” completes the revised front end appearance.
Inside, the refreshed 2022 Bolt EV features a new cockpit, with a 10.2-inch-diagonal infotainment color touchscreen. Below the new screen are new HVAC controls. The infotainment screen features real-time EV displays with more details available on the eight-inch-diagonal reconfigurable color gauge cluster / instrument panel. The new interior also includes revised seats along with a sporty, flat-bottom steering wheel. Chevy Safety Assist is standard and includes various safety and advanced driver assistance technologies.
The Chevy Bolt EV and Chevy Bolt EUV ride on the GM BEV2 platform and utilizes the same single-drive electric motor, which produces 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque, fed by the 65 kWh lithium-ion battery, which provides 259 miles of range per charge. Production of both models was down during the past several months past due to a recall and stop-sale associated with battery issues. Luckily, both models have since restarted production on April 4th.

Same old joke Fireman red. DA.
This attractive Cherry Red Tintcoat colour seems to improve the Bolt’s look somewhat.
The only colour worth paying extra for. Improvement over the basic black and white common standard colours.
The Maroon Red colour is supposed to be the most popular automobile colour in 2021.
The similar Red Tintcoat 2nd Geneneration Chevy Volt looked fantastic. Too bad it’s a shame the Volt was discontinued!
Bring back a 3rd generation all electric new Chevy Volt.
GM promises about 30 new EV models in the next few years.
Hopefully, there will be a 3rd Gen Chevy Volt.
Also known as fire red.
LOVE THAT COLOR
