It also has new low and regen on demand calibrations that are meant for smoother drivability.Īnother new feature is the ability to defer the engine-assisted cabin heater to now activate at much lower temperatures than before. There’s a new Energy app that helps drivers adjust their driving style and accessory usage to maximize efficiency. The new 7.2-kW charger is standard on the Premier trim level for the Volt and optional on the lesser LT model.Ĭhevy also updated a few other minor things for the 2019 Volt 2019, mostly aimed at improving efficiency. Range and efficiency are unchanged - the Volt is still rated to go 53 miles on a full electric charge (although we have been known to get more than that) and 420 miles on a combination of electricity and gasoline. The gasoline engine in the Volt remains unchanged and still kicks in when needed to either keep the car going once the battery has been depleted, or to provide a little extra propulsive force when needed. With charging now a speedier affair, owners can remain in all-electric mode, something Volt owners generally prefer to be in as much as possible. The new 7.2-kilowatt charger is double the capacity of the old model, and when the car is plugged into a 240-volt Level 2 outlet, it will enable the Volt to recharge its lithium-ion battery pack in just 2.3 hours - down from the roughly four hours it takes now.Ĭhevy says that this is meant to help owners who take advantage of “opportunity charging” - plugging their Volt in at places other than their home or office, perhaps while out running errands around town. Take one for a drive yourself, and see what the Blazer is really all about.Chevrolet has released details about the 2019 Volt plug-in hybrid compact hatchback, which now features an updated onboard charger that allows it to recharge its battery in half the time of the 2018 model. So far I am super happy with my purchase, the gas mileage has been pretty reasonable as well considering how much fun I have been having driving it around, even sometimes utilizing the AWD Sports Mode haha. I am getting lots of looks when I am driving around, I am sure people are caught off guard initially with the name badge "blazer" especially with the new look. My Blazer is equipped with the Continental ContiCrossContact tires, and even though they are all seasons I find it handles confidently in all weather conditions. The seats are pretty comfortable, and the cabin is rather welcoming, lots of space for traveling with friends and family, and they love that you can recline, and move the seat back and forth for more leg room. But Lane Keep Assist, Collision Avoidance, Adaptive Cruise are MUSTS, and GM really needs to start adding that across the entire line up. The only downside is I feel like at the price point, it really is missing a lot of safety features. I feel comfortable driving around the city, and on the highway with the new Blazer. I can merge with a breeze, as soon as I hit the accelerator, the blazer responds with adequate power. I passed on a Terrain Denali for this thing, why? Because the damn V6 provides me with over 300HP. I took this thing for a test drive and instantly fell in love. After addressing it with local dealers, and most of them dismissing my concerns, except one saying it was due to the way you drive and the vehicle is getting used to that.okay but I had 44,000km on the odometer.Īnyways … this review is about the BLAZER. I previously owned a 2018 GMC Terrain with the 1.5L Turbocharged 4 cylinder, I honestly can't express how much I hated that engine because it had a MASSIVE turbo lag.
