2027 Chevy Bolt Trims Compared NWA AR

The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt keeps its lineup simple: two trims, the LT and the RS, both front-wheel drive, both carrying the same 65 kWh LFP battery and up to 262 miles of EPA-estimated range. The gap from the LT to the RS is about $4,000, and every dollar of it goes to sport styling rather than to range, power or battery size. That makes this an unusually easy trim decision — the question is not how much car you get, but whether you want the blacked-out look.

George Nunnally Chevrolet stocks both trims, so Northwest Arkansas shoppers can line an LT up next to an RS in one visit and see the difference in person. This guide breaks down each trim, lays them side by side, walks through the LT-versus-RS question buyers actually ask, and names the value pick; for the wider picture, start at the 2027 Bolt research hub.

The Lineup

2027 Bolt Trim Lineup at a Glance

Both figures are MSRP including the $1,395 destination freight charge; they exclude tax, title, license and dealer fees, and George Nunnally Chevrolet sets the final price. The two trims share every mechanical spec — a 65 kWh LFP battery, 210 horsepower, front-wheel drive and up to 262 miles of range — so the ladder here is about appearance, not capability.

Each Trim

Trim-by-Trim Breakdown

Bolt LT — from $29,990

The LT is the foundation of the lineup, and it is far from a stripped model. It opens at $29,990 with the $1,395 destination charge included and settles to $28,995 as production scales; those prices are MSRP and exclude tax, title, license and dealer fees. Every LT drives the same single front motor making 210 horsepower and 169 lb-ft, drawing on a 65 kWh LFP battery for up to 262 miles of EPA-estimated range, and it is front-wheel drive — the Bolt is not sold with all-wheel drive. The LT's standard equipment includes an 11.3-inch touchscreen with Google built-in, an 11-inch digital driver display, 17-inch wheels, one-pedal driving with a Regen on Demand paddle, and a heat-pump HVAC system. The LT and RS both come standard with automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist and a NACS (J3400) charging port. It is the right pick for value-first buyers and anyone stepping into their first EV.

Bolt RS — about $32,995

The RS is new for 2027 and it is an appearance trim, not a performance one. At about $32,995 MSRP it runs about $4,000 above the LT, and for that step it adds sport styling: gloss-black roof rails, gloss-black 17-inch wheels and a unique grille badge. Everything under the skin is identical to the LT — the same 65 kWh LFP battery, the same 210 horsepower, the same front-wheel drive and the same up-to-262-mile range. The 11.3-inch Google built-in touchscreen, the 11-inch driver display, one-pedal driving and the standard NACS port all carry over. Both the LT and RS can be equipped with Super Cruise hands-free driving. Choose the RS if the darker, sportier presentation is worth about $4,000 to you.

Compared

Side-by-Side Comparison

Read down the two columns and the story is clear: the RS changes the rows that describe how the Bolt looks and leaves every row that describes how it drives untouched. Both trims are five-passenger hatchbacks with 16.2 cubic feet of cargo behind the rear seats.

The Pair

Common 2027 Bolt Trim Comparison: LT vs RS

The LT versus RS decision is the only trim question the 2027 Bolt asks, and it is a styling question. The LT gives you the complete package: up to 262 miles of range, 210 horsepower, the 11.3-inch Google built-in screen, one-pedal driving and the standard NACS port, all from $29,990 including destination. The RS takes that same car and darkens it — gloss-black roof rails, gloss-black 17-inch wheels and a unique grille badge — for about $4,000 more.

Because the RS adds no range, power or battery capacity, this is not a step up in capability the way a bigger engine would be; it is a lateral move to a different look. If the sport appearance matters to you, the RS is money well spent. If it does not, the LT delivers every mile and every feature that makes the Bolt worth buying, for less, right across Northwest Arkansas.

The Bolt Value Verdict and Step-Up Guide

Which 2027 Bolt Trim Is Right for You?

A single interstate carries most of the region's traffic while the parallel business route crawls, and that stop-and-go is exactly where an EV's regenerative braking and one-pedal driving recover the most range — a commuting reality that favors either Bolt over a gas hatchback. A daily driver running I-49 or the Razorback Regional Greenway corridor will feel the same 262 miles whether the badge reads LT or RS, so let the styling, not the spec sheet, break the tie.
