2027 Chevy Bolt Specs and Dimensions AR

This page is the hard-numbers reference for the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt: motor output, exterior and interior dimensions, weights, wheels, efficiency and warranty. It is the page a shopper opens when the question is a figure, not a feeling. For the wider picture see the Overview and the LT and RS trims compared pages. Nearly all of the region's traffic funnels onto a single north-south interstate, with the older business route as the stop-and-go alternative, and low-speed driving like that is exactly where an electric hatchback runs most efficiently.

Electric Powertrain (No Gas Engine)

The Bolt is a battery-electric hatchback, so there is no gas engine, no transmission and no oil to change. A single front-mounted motor drives the front wheels on every trim; there is no all-wheel-drive version. It draws from a 65 kWh lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) pack and makes 210 horsepower and 169 lb-ft of torque, with instant response off the line and one-pedal driving that recovers energy every time you lift off.

Heat-pump climate control is standard, which stretches winter range further than a resistive heater would, and a Regen on Demand paddle lets you add braking regeneration on grades without touching the pedal.

Exterior Dimensions

The Bolt is a subcompact, and the numbers show it: 169.6 inches long on a 105.3-inch wheelbase, 69.7 inches wide without the mirrors and 63.9 inches tall. That footprint is what makes it easy to thread through a parking deck or tuck into a short driveway.

Ground clearance and curb weight are pre-production figures for the returning second-generation Bolt; confirm the exact number for the build you are considering before purchase.

Interior Dimensions and Cargo

The Bolt seats five across two rows. Behind the rear seats there is 16.2 cubic feet of cargo space, and folding the 60/40 rear seatbacks opens up 56.3 cubic feet — enough for a Razorback Regional Greenway bike haul near Fayetteville or a big-box run without a trailer.

Capacity and Capability

As a single-motor passenger EV the Bolt is not built to tow, so there is no trailer rating. What matters here is how much it can carry: a gross vehicle weight rating near 4,650 pounds against an approximately 3,777-pound curb weight leaves roughly 873 pounds of payload for people and gear.

Payload, GVWR and curb weight are pre-production figures for the returning Bolt; treat them as guidance and confirm the door-jamb tire and loading label on the vehicle you buy.

Wheels, Tires, and Brakes

Both the LT and the RS ride on 17-inch wheels; the RS finishes them in gloss black as part of its sport look. Regenerative braking does much of the slowing in daily driving, so the friction brakes tend to see lighter use than they would on a gas car on the stop-and-go stretch of I-49 through Lowell.

Range and Fuel Economy Equivalent (MPGe)

The EPA rates the Bolt at up to 262 miles of range on a full charge. In place of a gas car's MPG, the EPA publishes MPGe — the fuel economy equivalent for an EV — and the Bolt earns 134 MPGe city, 106 MPGe highway and 120 MPGe combined. DC fast charging at up to 150 kW recovers a 10-to-80-percent charge in about 26 minutes, and the standard 11.5 kW onboard charger handles Level 2 charging at home, which covers most overnight needs for Northwest Arkansas drivers. It is the first Chevrolet EV to ship with a native NACS port.

EPA-estimated range and MPGe figures will vary with driving, temperature and charging habits. Range and efficiency figures are EPA estimates published at fueleconomy.gov. The full charging deep dive lives on the Range and Charging page.

Key Features by Trim

A compact decision grid of the equipment shoppers ask about most. The full per-trim breakdown and the step-up math live on the Trims Compared page.

Legend: S = standard, O = available, — = not standard equipment.

Safety and Compliance

Automatic emergency braking and lane-keep assist are standard across the lineup, and Super Cruise hands-free driving is available for compatible highways. Confirm the driver-assistance features on the exact build before purchase.

Warranty Coverage

The high-voltage battery carries the longest coverage, backed for 8 years or 100,000 miles. Bumper-to-bumper and powertrain terms follow GM's standard schedule; confirm the current terms at purchase.
