This article was pretty bad top to bottom. Comparing it to the Y and Mach-E was bad, pretending it wasn’t significantly cheaper, ignoring the actual changes and playing up perceived ideas about the car that don’t follow. 

I think hard opinions on things get clicks more than even-keeled stuff. So a regular article on this explaining both the good and the bad in a level-headed way would be too boring (or something).

Not if you’re older. Seniors love ‘em because it’s slide-in, slide-out right at hip level. Which is why old folks love crossovers.

I prefer cars to SUVs too, but “Lifted Chevy Bolt Loses 12 Miles Of Range, Gains Nothing” feels intentionally obtuse. Sure, the Bolt EUV is mostly just a lifted Bolt, but it’s a lifted, stretched Bolt. The 2.9" longer wheelbase (and 6.3" longer overall) yields an extra 3.1" of rear legroom. Depending on the size of…

It is critical to remember that the Bolt EUV is more or less competing directly with cars like the Tesla Model Y and Ford Mustang Mach-E,

More leg room, better seating position, and available super cruise is no nothing dude. They will sell far more of these than the Bolt, I’m sure. I kinda like the look of the EUV more myself as well. The way I see it, they should just keep the EUV and dump the regular Bolt. No reason to make two versions of close to…

You can go down to the local Chevy dealer here right now and drive off in a new Bolt LT for about $28k. That’s without any haggling or additional discounts you may qualify for.

It gains a thing that most people want - a better, more upright seating position and easier ingress and egress.  It’s non-trivial. 

Ah yes, the fabled Buick strategy.

Not gonna click through the slideshow coz we all hate those, but first gen Cayennes are proper tanks.

Yeah. He found a narrative to go after and ignored some pretty basic things. Chevy also discounts these like crazy and it’s no where close to the Y or Mach-E.

I’d hardly call 3" more rear legroom “slight” in a small car. The “lift” however, is 0.2" more, which is miniscule, and likely only due to the roof rails that the regular Bolt lacks.

Packaging and marketing aside, with 2.9" longer wheelbase, this appears to be a lengthened Bolt, not a lifted one.

What it gains is Super Cruise

I’ve been in the rear of the current Bolt. If the Bolt EUV has more leg room, even if it’s a few inches, it’s worth the price increase.

Even better, no one pays 34k for it. 

Nobody knows about it

Wait. GM (still) has a decent 34K EV?

1st: Fuck the slideshow
