Used 2020 Chevy Bolt EV Hatchback Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

There are only two trims available: the LT and the Premier. Both models are equipped with the same 66-kWh lithium-ion battery pack under the floor, sending power to a single electric motor (200 hp, 266 lb-ft) and a single-speed transmission. There is no difference in range either — 259 miles comes standard.

The LT comes well-equipped with standard features. There is a 10.2-inch color touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, plus keyless start and ambient interior lighting. The rearview camera is now pleasingly high-definition. An optional Comfort and Convenience package brings heated front seats and a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel into the fold.

The added niceties on the Premier are small but impactful. You get the Comfort and Convenience package as standard, plus a surround-view parking camera system and a rearview mirror that can turn into a full camera display. The rear seats are also heated, and the door handles feature a chrome strip.

Optional advanced driver safety aids for the Bolt include blind-spot monitoring, lane keeping assist, and forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking. We recommend getting the optional DC fast charger, which gives drivers access to SAE Level 3 charging stations and makes out-of-town road trips much more feasible.

Which Bolt EV trim does Edmunds recommend?

Because the Bolt no longer qualifies for the full $7,500 federal tax credit for a new vehicle purchase, the higher-end Premier trim begins to look less enticing. The base LT has a more attractive starting price, and you can add the nearly the same optional safety and infotainment packages as the Premier if desired. Unless you need a luggage rack, surround camera and heated rear seats, enjoy the impressive range and acceleration of the Bolt LT and keep a few extra dollars in your pocket.
