During this presentation, we will take a 1st person look at what the vehicle is all about beginning with the start up, performance data, fuel economy, the occasional track data, and build quality. Also, I will teach you how to use most of the interior and exterior features in a detailed fashion, that before, you could only get from going to a dealership yourself! Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion with rev and exhaust note with interior and exterior perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHANNEL SEE BELOW: In this channel you will find in depth educational videos of automobiles from all over the world, presented in a more detailed fashion than ever before. This gives the viewer the chance to view the most detailed 1st person look you can get without seeing it in person. Every video is consistent in the way I present so viewers know what to expect. I treat every vehicle with the same respect regardless of the year and pricepoint. I film all types of vehicles from the past, present, and future while broadening the knowledge of the automotive enthusiast. You will see everything from vintage, brand new, exotic, mainstream, old, etc. I am very proud of this channel and have built it up from amateur videos years ago to what you see today. I wanted to share my love for the automotive world with the rest of the world. Be sure to explore the massive video variety, have fun and enjoy The Driver's Seat of CZcams!
Great video! One of the most underrated cars on the market.
Just saw one of these on the road on my way back from work and man, I have to say these look stunning.
12 days and 800 miles with my Volt Premier so far,. love the ACC in it.. could be better, but it works ok. Love the car.
Colin Sevier i thinking getting this im currently own lexusct 200 kinda small
Colin Sevier, I'm sure loving my '19 Volt Premier!
Really impressive and thorough review. One of the best I've seen on CZcams about the Volt. Thank you!
Except the part about where he says it can seat five people... forgot to mention the fifth person has to be a quadruple amputee.
No more comments. I found one at 26k$ in craigslist in 2020 with 20k miles. How is this car still a good value in 2020. Many Thanks Kylie ! Uncompetable review.
1:47 love that classic seat belt chime even in a plug in Hybrid still awesome
you are the best car reviewer that i seen
Thank you!!!
Probably the most detailed video car review I've ever seen, great job
Great video!!! Such high quality and no shaky camera! Chevy volt is my dream car and I love watching car tours of it! This is the best one I've seen yet!! Thank you so much!
Kyle has the best job in the World!
His job isn't as easy as it look mate.
He has to script and edit his videos and find dealerships that a willing to allow him to use their cars for his videos. It looks like a tough job to me.
He didn't say it was easy, he said it was the best job in the world. The best jobs don't always have to be the easiest.
Any dealership that finds out about the amount of subscribers Kyle has will most likely allow him to use their cars. Free advertisement.
+Joker Why so serious? J/K
This IS what I do for a living, I've been doing this full time for three years now. It was only going to be temporary at first, but the channel grew so fast that I decided to go full steam ahead with it, now it's fast approaching a million subscribers!
Very professional review. Appreciated the public park setting and sounds - sunlight, birds chirping, etc. One day I'll drive one of these. Before we all go electric , this is the perfect segue car.
I test drove one of these today (wasn't planning on it; went to test drive a fusion hybrid but saw this there, too). I was blown away. The Prius has this beat in only one place: rear cargo area access and volume. The Volt's is ample, but the Prius is a barn. The torque of the Prius makes it drive like a corolla, while the torque of the Volt makes it drive like...a faster Corolla. Very nice for real world driving, I loved it. I didn't see that coming and my Kia Niro dreams may have just been put on the back burner.
I nominate Kyle to take over Motorweek. Has same demeanor as Pat Goss, and extremely informative. I keep watching. This Volt is extremely impressive BTW. Americans have caught up IMHO.
Hey Kyle, i want you to know I really appreciate your videos, your a great you tuber and I love how you manage to pack in so much information without making it boring
im am so glad i have a 2017 volt
Did that comment age well? How is it holding up on reliability and resale value these days?
How is it now @yenzyori?
@@Bemi281 it was a really good car, never hd problems with it, smooth ride, good stereo, recently bougjt the chevy bolt which is just electric
@@yenzyori3903 That's great to hear. I'm gonna give it a shot soon. The prices are great. It'll mostly be a work car. Work is only about 28 miles from home. Does it lose a lot of battery sitting for 8 hours?
@@Bemi281 i just got used 2018 volt lt w/ 36k miles for 14k. I have 500 miles on it so far. I love it.
Brilliance in every detail
love how you go into deep details on how the car works and what features is included , good review ! 👍🏽
I like how kyle responds to haters with great politeness and respect!
I respect you kyle for your personality first then your channel performance
Yours sincerely
A true fan ;)
Thank you my friend!
Excellent review as usual Kyle, keep up the good work. When I cross shopped this with its' direct competition, I easily came to the conclusion that this is the best overall package. That's why one's in my garage now, but I drive 13 miles on city streets to work round trip, and my 'smaller' garage also has to fit a Honda Odyssey.
Wow! I just bought one.. This video is more detailed than the test drive. Thank you
that tan and black interior looks really nice! But unfortunately i've yet to see a used one with this color, was this an expensive option or something?
A great electric car for the non-urban driver. While long range EVs are coming, the Volt gives the option of running long distances without being at the mercy of the charging network. Looks great too; take note Toyota.
Nicely done. Great video quality and nice POV shots.
Another great video review! It led me to seek out the two-tone interior for my Volt. Also, the chirping birds in the background are quite pleasant.
Thank you so much for this. I was considering a tesla model 3 which is really at the high range of my budget (probably over it) and really overkill for my needs, I think I am going to pick up one of these used for less than half of the price.
Wise decision, tesla is so overrated imho
I can't wait to see your review of the 2017 Bolt! Yours is the one I'm most looking forward to seeing.
Thanks for the video about the 2017 Volt! I will buy one someday!
Love your videos Kyle. Great attention to detail, you go over almost every single feature. Very well scripted, quick and to the point. Almost to 1M subs congrats!
Thanks so much!
At 3.26 you mention the drive has a CVT transmission. As far as I know the drive is direct without a transmission at all. Good review. I myself own a 2013 volt. I live in the Netherlands and only a 1000 were sold here. And GM has left Europe altogether. It is sad that we cannot buy the volt anymore in Europe. My Volt drives perfectly.
I hope they bring this as the Opel Ampera to Europe.
This was such a good review
Great job Kyle!!!! What do we have here...? A 2017 Chevy Volt with turn signals of bulbs intead of LED...? Come on Chevrolet we are in the LED era... Even the leds save more energy rather than a bulb!
LED sucks
@@joshualepp8095 huh?!
That is nice. Chevrolet really did a good job with the Volt I must say. I'd prefer this over a Prius. But not over a Tesla, oh no. Anyways, keep your epic car reviews going, I love them to death, can't wait for more and don't forget, you're awesome! Take care.
Need a pure sound of this.
Thats the joke. Hah
Good review Kyle. I like the honesty about the backseat passenger accommodations.
Thanks bud!
@saabkyle04 you are one of the dopest car reviewers i have ive been following your videos since you started i love how you review every car with a passion i bought a camaro ss after you reviewed it keep up the awesome work. ☺
DAMN! I barely got my 2016 volt lt blindly. It was in preowned lot and i took a liking to it. ID NEVER SEEN A CAR LIKE IT so i got it bc price was reduced. Now im trying to learn about the car bc it wasnt wat i was looking for but i do love it.
how much was it?
The materials used in the first generation Volt's upper doors and dash feel higher quality than in the new Volt. The first generation Volt used padding, whereas the second generation Volt is solid plastic.
Also, the first generation Volt has rear door pockets with bottle holders. The second generation doesn't.
very good review, I did watch the redline review also. Between these two reviews I felt very prepared for the dealership. Thank you.
Thank you for the very in depth and thorough review of the volt.
What camera and in what setting do you use to make your wonderful HD videos?
that car is so good
Lovely to hear so many birds in the background!
I can drive this thing for more than a year on battery alone.
That's not true, the Volt will first send up a warning and then force gasoline usage, because otherwise you would get fuel sludge buildup, and its very bad for an engine to go more than a year without circulating oil in it which stops corrosion and sludging.
Questions: So we bought a 2017 Volt with about 37,000 miles on it right as California was going into quarantine. I've only driven it 15 miles since March 13, 2020. Since I'm in my 70s and this kind of car is quite different than what we are used to, I'm trying to learn about it online. I have only driven it in electric mode. How long will the gas be good? If I want to drive it using gas before the electricity is used up, do I just put it in the Hold mode? Is it bad to use up all the electricity or does it not make any difference? Thanks!
@Jim Patriot I've now driven 500 miles (in 6 months) and know more about it. The car was only charging to 52 miles and then went down to 51. I was disappointed but thought it was only because it was a used car. However, we drove to the local mountains and on the way down I put it in mountain mode. It recharged the battery on the way down the hill to 55 miles (only supposed to be 53.) Now when I recharge it, it charges to 54 miles the last three times.
Amazing Car!
finally a proper review!! good job
Really enjoyed this highly-detailed review. Thanks!
Very thorough review. Nice work.
Could you do a review on a 2011-2014 Porsche Cayenne turbo. There seems to be a lack of coverage on these and I would love your type of in depth review on it!
which one would be better from 2013-2016 energi plugin or 2017 volt..? any thoughts- primary factor quality of ride.
Great looking car
Terrific review. I like this car.
I would like to know if the vehicles you test out are fuel efficient during longer drives?
very thorough review, I really enjoyed. Thank you!
My gaaaad maaaan! I'm just vaiting on the review on the all new Tacoma. I can't buy one until you put out a video.
I am sooo behind with editing, I'm sure I'll have it up soon, say in the next couple weeks. Apologies for the delay, lot of filming opportunities and projects to finish up lately.
+Saabkyle04 thanks buddy keep up the good work.
Thank you sir! I heard that the Volt is no longer in production! Why did Chevy stop producing this car, I was considering one in 2018. Can you still buy them?
I love your reviews of new and old cars! Do you think you're going to review the new Cadillac CT6 Sedan?
Nice review - Well Done! Very informative. Volt seems like an awesome car. Thanks a lot for your hard work. : )
Kyle I love this video it is soooooooooooo amazing I didn't know they made 2017 cars this early into 2016 I just want to inform you I'm your biggest fan it would mean so much to me if you would reply to this comment you have made my life of cars much better -Anthony Neely
Why is the check engine light on?
Great review. A very interesting car, but the MSRP vs a high MPG compact or midsize makes it difficult to justify, though it may be a great lease option.
You'd be surprised. Here in California, you can knock the selling price (of an LT) down to around 30k. Factor in state and federal incentives (7.5k + 1.5k), you're looking at a $21,000 car! Lease are also a good deal. I'm currently leasing a 2016 for $174/month with $0.
and that's what most people are spending on fuel per month... additional savings!
I got my 2017 for 30K and after the tax credit will pay no more than an econo-box that's a dog to drive and gets half the mpg.
One question does it come in black and with black interior
thanks for review~What's the overall average fuel economy?
Better looking than that Toyota thing
not really looks worse than a Prius I hate the new Chevys that they have I don't like the new GM cars they don't look that good like they use too:(
Toyota is better than GM in any competition except body
I’m still amazed how you have an electric vehicle and still have bulbs in it. 🤦🏽♂️ great view thank you
I'm in love with this Chevy Volt, getting rid of my 2010 Toyota Prius soon, never soon~!
You are an amazing reviewer. Thank you.
It's going fine thanks, Robert.
How are you?
Who's Robert? Lol
the volts back is so improved man it is
JDM_Rulez88 lol true
I can only imagine what awful things you had to do to the Volt in order to get the engine to run. It’s not a pretty sound and it’s the primary reason I try to keep the battery charged as much as possible. Good video.
The engine will always run when the hood is open
Considering getting one of these
My dream car!
TN MUSlC me too
Can you do a 2013 toyota highlander
Nice interior
1:28 I hope it doesn't make that sound everytime
If I'm right, you should be able to turn it off.
Do a review of the 2016 Malibu premier
Kyle I wish I had your job too but can you try the chevy Bolt for us it is smaller but would like an idea of the back seat and performance
thank you
Thanks for the new video.
Kyle, what is your opinion on GM's ignition bong that's straight out of the 1980's? Easily the most irritating, ear piercing sound in the industry. I'm buying the car of the future, so why does it sound like an Oldsmobile Ciera?
What cheverlot Dealership did you get the volt from
Awesome review!
Hey Kyle, great video. Can you review the Ford Transit Van (medium or high roof)?
Couldn't help but notice how the two-tone dash reflects on the windshield. It must get very annoying... Should be even worse with the white/gray dash. Looks great, but it'd rather get full black just because of that
I don't get everyone's obsession with power seats. Are the manual controls that inconvenient to use?
the weird thing is our 2016-2017 cars you dont even need to switch gears by shifting mostly they have a knob to switch gears
Question for the community: 2017 LT or 2017 LZ (Premier)? I'm buying tomorrow, soooo... tick tock.
Oh, and why is the LZ worth it/not worth it?
Please review the all new Prius.
I have an interesting question for you; do you know if that regenerative brake paddle on the steering wheel activates the brake lights as well?
I'm sure it does but I didn't double check it.
***** can you do a Ford F-150 Raptor (2017)
Hey Hey
Yes, it does. I've been told that the brake lights are activated when the braking force reaches a certain level. The brake lights can also be activated in L mode (again, depending on the amount braking force).
It does. My wife and I checked on ours. We love our Volt
Dont care about this chevy, just wanted to say thanks for the variety. I appreciate you making these for the people who actually want to buy them and are interested in them, so they can check it out and see how its like before making a decision.
Thank you my friend, I appreciate that!
***** No problem! Thanks for replying!
good car
I hope that welcome chime/sound can be disabled.
cintula82 yea
beautiful and great Car.
Hey Kyle how are you? You should try and review a Land Rover Defender if you could!
New subscriber. Great review, helped me make up my mind and it will be delivered on Wednesday Nov. 13.
Outstanding video!
Do you plan to film any more 2017 cars. Like the 2017 Toyota rav4 or the 2017 Honda odyssey elite?
Much improved camerawork and editing from previous years' videos. Two points you missed: automatic emergency braking is optional and the car can park itself. Otherwise, a very thorough review. It is indeed a fantastic car.
Do you know if Opel will offer an updated Ampera based on this Volt?
Great video, and a really nice car! But, i was wondering if you could try and find a Chevrolet Bolt EV to review. I'm a big supporter of EVs and plug-in hybrids like the Volt. Would be nice if you could review some more Electric Vehicles like the Mercedes B-class electric, the newer generation Nissan Leaf, the Ford Focus electric and Fusion Energi. You seriously make the best car reviews on CZcams, and i would love it if you could do some more green vehicles. #EV4life
Great car. Great video.
Thank you for doing the volt!!
