However, only the Premier model offers driver assist features such as blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning, rear cross-traffic alerts, forward collision warning, automatic low-speed emergency braking, lane departure intervention, and adaptive headlights. The two trims have identical performance and engines, and differ mostly in accessories. These are the same trim levels offered on the Chevy Bolt. The Volt is available in two trims: the LT and Premier. Reportedly, the hybrid engine was expensive to produce and despite the Volt's mass appeal, it never saw enough profit to continue it. GM decided to decommission the Volt in 2019 as part of a larger strategic move away from the sedan body type and towards full electric vehicles. In 2017, the second generation Volt was available across the country with 53 miles of electric range and a combined range of 420 miles. It had a single redesign in 2016, with production models of the updated version available only in zero-emissions states that adhered to the California Air Resource Board (CARB) standards. By 2013, the EPA had recertified the first generation Volt at 38 miles all electric. When the first Volt rolled off the production line in the end of 2010, it had a modest all electric range of 35 miles. It has won multiple awards and is credited with helping to bring electric cars to the mainstream. This hybrid engine configuration is referred to as a "series" hybrid, and the Volt was the first such hybrid made by a major automotive company. It runs exclusively on electric energy until the battery is low enough to kick off a gasoline motor that recharges the battery. It was designed to be an affordable, everyday car.

The Chevy Volt is a hybrid electric plug-in vehicle that is EPA-rated between 38 and 53 miles of all electric range when new, depending on model year.
