2023 Chevy Bolt EV Trims Comparison
2023 Bolt EV trim level differences
The 2023 Bolt is available in two trims: the 1LT and 2LT. Both models are equipped with a 65-kWh battery pack under the floor, sending power to a single electric motor (200 horsepower, 266 lb-ft) that drives the front wheels. The EPA's estimated range is the same on both trims: 259 miles on a full charge, though we've exceeded that during our real-world testing. The slightly larger Chevy Bolt EUV is reviewed separately on Edmunds. Feature highlights for the Bolt include:
Which 2023 Bolt EV trim does Edmunds recommend?
Go for the Bolt's 2LT trim. It adds a considerable number of tech and nice-to-have features, as well as unlocking some options not available on the 1LT model. One of those options is the Infotainment package. It adds an upgraded Bose stereo, a surround-view camera system, a wireless charging pad and more USB ports. To that we'd also get the adaptive cruise control system to make traffic jams just that much easier.
