Following an early preview at CES, GM has now unveiled the all-new 2016 Chevrolet Volt at Detroit Motor Show (NAIAS). The old Volt was a fairly successful car, but still, Chevy went ahead and revamped the car from the ground up in the new version.

You still get a 1.5 liter range-extender, but the batteries are upgraded and have more capacity, and the electric motor is 12 percent more efficient than before. What’s more, the whole system is up to 100 pounds lighter (45 kg) than the first-gen Volt’s.

2016 Chevrolet Volt is also said to be stiffer, more refined, and generally more together than the old model. It is a lot more convenient too, boasting features like location-based charging via GPS, more intuitive charge status indicators, and Portable cord set enhancements. The car also features 10 airbags, rear-view camera, and a whole host of electronic aids including lane departure warning, side blind zone alert with lane change alert, rear cross traffic alert, forward collision alert and …
