Turns out, the Chevrolet Bolt isn’t dead just yet. Chevrolet has announced that it will be building a next-generation Bolt EV on the Ultium platform.
It looks like the Bolt isn’t dead after all. Only a few months after Chevrolet announced that it would be killing the Bolt EV, the company has reversed course and said that the Bolt will live on.
That’s not to say it’ll ever be the same again, though. On the contrary, Chevrolet says that it’ll be releasing a new-and-improved second-generation of the Bolt that’ll be built on General Motors’ Ultium platform. In other words, it might end up being a whole lot better than the already great-value current-generation Bolt — which will be super helpful in helping make for higher-quality cheap EVs.
It’s currently unclear if Chevrolet will be keeping the Bolt EUV too, though given the popularity of large cars these days, we’d be surprised if it didn’t keep the larger Bolt.
Curious to learn more about the next-generation Chevrolet Bolt? Here’s everything we know so far.2025 Chevrolet Bolt design
There’s almost nothing that we know about the design of the next-generation Bolt — though it’s likely it’ll keep some design cues from the current-generation model.
The current Bolt is known for its somewhat bulbous front and slanted headlights, along with the hatchback rear. We’re expecting that at the very least, the next Bolt will be a hatchback.
If Chevrolet keeps the Bolt EUV, like the current generation, it’ll likely be more or less a larger version of the standard Bolt EV.
Hopefully, both the Bolt EV and Bolt EUV (if released) will offer a slightly sleeker, more interesting design. The Bolt EV isn’t completely hideous, but it’s far from being stylish. Most of the best electric cars these days at least have a sense of style, even if they don’t all look that great. If the wildly revamped 2023 Toyota Prius taught us anything, budget cars don’t need to be bland.2025 Chevrolet Bolt price
The price is perhaps the best thing about the current Chevrolet Bolt. In fact, the car is one of the cheapest electric cars out there right now, making it a go-to for those who want the advantages of an electric car without having to pay an arm and a leg.
