Chevy Volt DC

Car shoppers have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of the 2011 Chevy Volt in DC because of all it has to offer. It is a one-of-a-kind, all-electrically driven vehicle designed and engineered to operate in all climates. Powered by GM’s revolutionary Voltec propulsion system, it consists of a 16-kWh lithium-ion battery pack and electric drive unit that can drive on electricity only for a range of between 25 and 50 miles, depending on terrain, driving techniques and temperature. A 1.4L gasoline-powered engine extends the range up to an additional 310 miles on a full tank of fuel by operating the vehicle’s electric drive system until the car can be plugged in and recharged or refueled.

Every major element of the Volt was designed and analyzed for efficiency, including its highly aerodynamic exterior, lightweight wheels, specially designed tires, energy-saving premium stereo system, and more. This attention to detail makes the Volt one of the most aerodynamic and energy-efficient vehicles in the market.

The 2011 Chevrolet Volt makes the electric driving experience for DC Chevy drivers as productive, efficient, intuitive, safe and fun as any premium vehicle its size in the market today. Visit Pohanka Chevrolet today to test drive the one-of-a-kind 2011 Chevrolet Volt.
