2027 Chevy Bolt Technology and Safety AR

This page covers what the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt gives a Northwest Arkansas driver behind the wheel: the Google built-in infotainment, the driver-assistance features that come standard, and the hands-free driving option. The one thing shoppers get wrong is Super Cruise: it is an available feature, not standard equipment, and it only works on compatible, mapped roads. For the full lineup and pricing, see the Overview and the LT vs RS trims pages.

George Nunnally Chevrolet stocks the 2027 Bolt for shoppers across Northwest Arkansas, and this page keeps its safety position plain up front: the NHTSA and IIHS have not yet published crash-test ratings for the new 2027 Bolt, so no star or award figure is claimed here. What follows is the equipment as it is documented, and where to read the ratings when they post.

2027 Bolt Infotainment and Connectivity

The 2027 Bolt centers on an 11.3-inch touchscreen running Google built-in, which puts Google Maps, Google Assistant, and apps from Google Play directly in the dash without tethering a phone. A separate 11-inch digital driver display sits behind the wheel for speed, range, and driver-assist status.

Wireless phone charging and USB-C ports are available convenience items; confirm the exact equipment on the trim you are considering with the team at George Nunnally Chevrolet.

Super Cruise and Hands-Free Driving

Super Cruise hands-free driving is available on the 2027 Bolt. It lets the driver take their hands off the wheel on compatible, mapped divided highways while a driver-attention system watches that the driver stays engaged with the road. It is an available feature on the Bolt rather than standard equipment, and it operates only on the road network Chevrolet has mapped for it.

For a driver commuting from Tontitown or up from Fayetteville, the relevant stretch is the divided-highway running of I-49, the spine that carries traffic north and south through the metro; Super Cruise does not operate on undivided two-lane roads such as much of US-412, and it does not run in town. Treat it as a highway-cruising aid, not a self-driving system, and keep your attention on the drive.

Standard Driver Assistance Features

Every 2027 Bolt comes standard with automatic emergency braking and lane-keep assist, the core of the driver-assistance suite. One-pedal driving is included as well: lifting off the accelerator slows the car and recovers energy, which does most of the stopping in stop-and-go driving and eases the load on the brakes.

Available Driver Assistance and Packages

Above the standard suite, the headline available upgrade is Super Cruise hands-free driving, covered in its own section above. Both the LT and the RS can be equipped with it, so the choice of trim never gates access to the technology. Additional driver-assistance content varies by how a given Bolt is configured, so confirm the exact package on any specific vehicle against its window listing before you buy. The team at George Nunnally Chevrolet can pull the equipment list on any in-stock Bolt and walk through which aids are fitted, which is the surest way to match a car to the way you actually drive rather than to a brochure.

Feature Availability by Model

The 2027 Bolt comes in two trims, LT and RS. The technology core is shared; the RS is a sport-appearance step, not a technology step.

Legend: S = standard, O = available. The full trim walk lives on the Trims Compared page.

Crash-Test Ratings and How to Read Them

Crash ratings are the one place a safety page can mislead, so here is the plain status: the NHTSA and IIHS have not yet published crash-test ratings for the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt, a new-for-2027 model. When ratings are posted, they appear first at the rating bodies themselves. Read them at the source before you buy.

Which 2027 Bolt Has the Technology You Want?

The technology decision is short, because the LT and RS carry the same screens and the same standard aids. Route by how you drive:
