Chevy Volt wins Green Car of the Year!

Each year, the Green Car Journal evaluates a number of green vehicles based on multiple factors, some of which include fuel efficiency, certifications from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board, performance, price, and availability. The 2016 Chevy Volt offered impressive capability and performance in all challenges.“Chevrolet has long stood for offering affordable and innovative electrification options for Canadians, and that is exactly what the next-generation Volt brings to the table”, said Laura Pacey, Chevrolet brand director for Canada in a press release shortly after the award was announced. “This recognition as Green Car of the Year, is further testament that Chevrolet is committed to being a leader in technologically advanced, environmentally friendly, electric vehicles in Canada.”

A new 1.5-litre engine which can burn regular unleaded fuel can combine with the electric engine to offer an extended range and even more driving versatility. The new engine offers a combined city and highway driving fuel consumption of 5.6 L/100km.
