It is the first electric vehicle, the mass-engine extended range, the most aerodynamic of the history of Chevrolet. It is equipped with high technology, premium materials, refined and energetic performance luxury sports sedan. It has navigation, entertainment and cutting edge information.
Chevrolet presented at the International Motor Show in Buenos Aires 2011, the Volt electric vehicle. This opens a new vehicle segment in the global vehicle market. It was designed to provide the benefits of an electric vehicle without the limitations of autonomy associated with other electric vehicle market. The Chevrolet Volt looks and drives like a luxury midsize sedan with sporty look.

The Volt is not just the most efficient vehicle for Chevrolet in it’s nearly 100 years of history, but also is extremely well equipped, with a complete set of technologies and luxurious standard features.
“We were determined to complement an innovative propulsion system with an equally revolutionary design,” said Bob Boniface, design director Volt. “We focus on body posture with inward and outbound wheels that generate dynamism and elegance.”

The Chevrolet Volt electric car is. This is a unique vehicle total electrical performance, designed and developed to operate in all climates. Made with a revolutionary propulsion system Volte GM, which is a unit of electric propulsion and a rechargeable lithium ion 16-kWh, which provide electric-only range of about 60 kilometers, depending on terrain, techniques conduction and temperature.

How much is that old Volt? According to Kelley Blue Book, the 2011 Chevrolet Volt will have a resale value of more than $ 17,000 after 36 months, the average time for financing.

That is only 42 percent of the manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $ 41,000, the hybrid. For what its worth, KBB’s projection assumes that the price for a gallon of gasoline will remain at $ 4 now and the next 36 months.

Eric Ibara, director of consulting residual values ??Kelley, told Automotive News that the estimated residual value can be a bit low, but the former 200.000 Volts sold qualify for a federal tax credit of $ 7500, effectively reducing its price to $ 33.500 (well, maybe not.)

Using this figure of $ 33,500, KBB’s projection means that the Volt will retain 51 percent of its value. That compares with 46 percent of Toyota Prius 2011 to 37.5 percent of Ford Focus 2011. As we see, the $ 7500 tax credit is nothing, but we’ll leave to your decision.

KBB estimate the waste waiting for Leaf Nissan valued at $ 32,780, also qualify for federal tax credit of $ 7500, later this year.
