How to distinguish the Chevrolet Bolt EV 2022 from the Chevrolet Bolt EUV 2022

The Chevrolet Bolt EV is getting a makeover for 2022 and to serve the brand's customers, it will no longer be alone as a utility variant of the model also emerges for the new year; the Bolt EUV (Electric Utility Vehicle).

Aesthetically, the two products are similar, because they adopt the same stylistic language. However, we are surprised to learn that no body panel is shared by the two vehicles. It’s amazing.

In this case, how to differentiate them, then? Well there are a few visual tricks that are not lacking, plus on the equipment side, the Bolt EUV has things that aren't on the menu with the Bolt EV.

Let's take a look at this.

At first glance

To differentiate the two models if you see them individually, it's quite simple. If roof rails are present, you have in front of you a Bolt EUV 2022, as this feature is unique to this vehicle.

If the headlights are surrounded by body panels, the same is true, because with the Bolt EV, the unit that groups the headlights meets the fog lights. A black band even extends to the mirrors.

Finally, at the rear, the waistline of both vehicles climbs towards the roof. With the Bolt EUV it's a gradual rise. With the Bolt EV, it's very pronounced, like a hook.

And if you see them side by side, you can always take out your measuring tape; the Bolt EUV is 6 inches (15 cm) longer, which translates into more room inside (3 inches for the legs of the occupants in the rear).

Characteristics

With the Bolt EUV, Chevrolet offers a vehicle that is intended to be bigger, but also a little more upscale, which is reflected in the price. Fortunately, you get more for your money. For example, on board, it is possible to wirelessly connect (option) its Apple CarPlay and Android Auto applications. The model also comes with a pad for wireless charging of your phone, as well as a two-function cable for charging. In fact, it is possible to plug your Bolt EUV directly into a 240 V outlet, in addition to a traditional 120 V outlet.

For the rest, you will benefit from the same capacities, or almost. The Bolt EUV 2022 offers a range of 402 km compared to 417 for the Bolt EV 2022. Both creations enjoy the same 65 kWh battery and the same power, ie 202 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque.

And for a comparison that could not be clearer, come see us at the dealership to see how Chevrolet has come to us with two winning products on the market for 2022.
