Surprisingly for an eco-warrior, the Volt boasts an unexpected proclivity for poised but high-spirited handling, giving it another quality that has it outshine the competition.

Pacific Blue Metallic has been added to the exterior color palette, and a Jet Black/Porcelain Blue interior is now offered on the Premier. A six-way power-adjustable driver's seat is now standard on the Premier and available for the LT, while adaptive cruise control with forward automatic braking has been added to the options list for both trims, and the available wireless charging pad has been relocated ahead of the shifter for easier use. Standard-fit on the Premier trim and available for the LT is a 7.2 kW charging system that cuts recharging times by almost half. An HD rearview camera replaces the previous analog system, decorative seating patterns are offered on cloth seats, and a tire fill alert system is now standard.

All trims are outfitted with Chevrolet's Infotainment 3 system with an eight-inch touchscreen that incorporates an all-new, Volt-exclusive Energy App. With the Volt's upcoming demise, Chevrolet has gone ahead and applied some considerable tweaks and upgrades for the 2019 year model. Has the Volt run its course, or is GM simply killing it off too soon? Equipped with a hybridized 1.5-liter inline-four gasoline engine and dual electric motors, total outputs of 149 horsepower and 294 lb-ft of torque are forwarded to the Chevy's front-wheel-drivetrain via a continuously variable automatic transmission. Nevertheless, there are now more competitors within the segment than ever before, and even with top brands such as the Toyota Prius Prime, Kia Niro, and Honda Clarity plug-in holding strong positions within the segment, favor is high for the new Chevy Volt. However, with the clean-living popularity of pure-electric vehicles growing throughout the US and, considering the market's expeditious progression of all-electric vehicles in general, the 2019 Chevrolet Volt that has been deemed the crowning glory of Chevrolet's hybrid range will be discontinued from production as of late 2019. The 2019 Chevy Volt is one of the compact segment's foremost plug-in hybrids, offering an unparalleled all-electric range of 53 miles.
