Chevrolet Bolt EV is motor trend car of the year

Fourth MOTOR TREND award in three years for Chevrolet

MOTOR TREND has recognized the #chevrolet Bolt #ev — the all-new affordable electric vehicle offering an EPA-estimated 238 miles of range on a full charge — as its 2017 Car of the Year®.

The editors based their selection on the Bolt EV’s performance in six evaluation categories: advancement in design, engineering excellence, efficiency, safety, value and performance of intended function.

“Chevrolet is the fastest-growing full-line retail brand in the industry thanks to an exceptional vehicle lineup, which includes ground-breaking products like the Bolt #ev,” said Alan Batey, president of GM North America and Global #chevrolet brand chief. “Being recognized once again as MOTOR TREND Car of the Year is a great honor for the entire #chevrolet team.”

It is the fourth MOTOR TREND award for #chevrolet in three years, with the Camaro recognized as the 2016 Car of the Year and Colorado named the 2015 and 2016 #truck of the Year.

“Chevrolet is on a roll with new and compelling vehicles that have reset the bar for trucks in 2015, trucks and sports cars in 2016, and for 2017, electric cars,” said #edloh, MOTOR TREND Editor-in-Chief. “The Bolt #ev is certainly a game changing vehicle and we look forward to seeing whether we’ll be recognizing another #chevrolet next year in our annual awards.”
