I hate to say it, but I actually kinda dig this.

when push button start isnt good enough.

I could only stand 5 minutes.

Bolt EUV fatigue

Super cruise is 🗑

Doug is confused on the use of "effecting" and "affecting"

China’s stake in General Motors has apparently increased.

This car is way superior than the Kia Niro! Please review your points!

fetch the Bolt cutters

That garbage will break the places I take me subaru.

Isn't this "kind of an interesting and odd gear selector for an interesting and futuristic type of vehicle" almost the same as what Hondas have had for some time now?

Dough is type of guy who charges himself for CarsandBids mention at the beginning

4:55 what's with the terrible orange peel from GM factory paint?

Did Doug just use “suspect”?! Hahahahaha

It's kind of weird how normal electric cars have become in the past few years. Doug is reviewing this car as a small hatchback that just happens to be electric.

And since when is the Toyota Land Cruiser a "cool car" ?

Take a shot every time Doug says "EUV"

Sometimes I'll just never understand the popular opinion. The vast majority of people who review the Bolt and Bolt EUV say the EUV looks better, but I'm not seeing it... at all. To me, the EUV looks blander, frumpier, more family car-like. The Bolt looks sportier and more youthful. They also said the same thing about the second generation Volt when it came out. Every article I read people praised it for how good it looked, but to me, it just looked more boring. To me, the first generation Volt looked better and more unique.

It's a utility vehicle; why didn't he show the back seats folded down and show how much you can fit in it. Or he could have talked about any roof rack details, that would be utility, or he could have talked about towing capacity, that is utility. Another thing that is silly and misleading with all these electric vehicles, the settings and paddles for regenerative breaking; I have a Chevy spark ev and it has a L selection for more regen breaking. It is pointless because the break pedel triggers an uses regen breaking automatically. It only uses the friction breaks when you break really hard (and usually traction control at the same time). The other time it uses friction breaking is when you have slowed down to 1 or 2 mph. It Just uses friction breaks for the final stop. You can see it on the display as you are doing it. You can also feel the change. Using the break pedal is the best way to use regen breaking and getting long range. The stupid regen paddle things were only put in as a gimmick to keep up with the stupid paddle shifter things.

Can you explain the STUPIDITY of the US law about brake lights on a moving body work of a car. I can understand if the law stated that if there are brake lights on the part of a bodywork that can move, and they MUST ALSO have to be on a fixed part of the car (like the bumper)...but that shouldn't stop you from having brake lights on the moving bodywork as well. Minivans and SUV have these tiny lights on the sides of the rear for the brakes because the rear door takes up most of the back...and they have lots of wasted space on the door where they could have additional brake lighting. My parents had a Pontiac 6000 which had THREE brake light bulbs PER side...when you stepped on the brake pedal those lights screamed STOP! Then they got a Buick Century which only had ONE brake light bulb a side because half the rear lighting was on the trunk lid, which only whispered "stop"...and if you were making a turn it would only flash since brake and turn signal used the same bulb in 2002...you wouldn't know the brake was applied!!! There's also the STUPIDITY where the US stops cars from having amber rear turn signals (my family had a 1978 Concord that had them, and an 87 Pontiac 6000 which had them), and car manufacturers today not only have red turn signals which are confusing with the brake light, but the US still allows cars and trucks to have ONE light for BOTH brake and turn signal, like the 1950s!!! And the funniest thing is the cars that are German imports also have red turn signals; it's actually a requirement in Germany that they have to have rear amber turn lights...I remember seeing US cars like the Chevy Caprice in Germany (from the US army base) modified with amber turn lights when I've only seen them with red lights in North America.

On the regular Bolt putting the spot mode and TCS buttons right next to eachother ensures that you return to the dealer frequently for new tires.

I LIKE IT

Cool! Can you do a review on the Hyundai Kona EV?

people remember it's Bolt EUV

why not just put a 3rd pedal in the car and use it for regen.

i remember when the guys made a joke about tesla

Yes a very good bargain for almost the price of a Tesla Model 3.

Rearview camera mirror is great if you have ugly friends and/or family. You don't have to look at them . We added an aftermarket one to our Kia Soul

That q45 made me wet, I have regretted selling my 91 Q45 in the same color. They are amazing cars all around.

The 2021 Cadillac Escalade has enhanced super cruise but the Chevrolet Bolt EUV has Regular super cruise like the 2018 Cadillac CT6.

Im actually super excited for the rav4 prime review

you understand Super Cruise and all other semi/autonomous "features" are to remove decision-making from the Individual? .........ya'll' Get that Right? NWO not interested in your opinion/decision/ to go " straight, right or left" they will decide. They want sheep and some of ya are playing right into their (no pun...) hands..

No one: Doug: Bolt EEEEE-YOUUU-VEEEE

he said Doug store. :D

I love - LOVE - L O V E - L----O-----V------E - red turn signals!

It looks like....... a ford fiesta with questionable design choices.

So how did it have a top down view of the vehicle?

GM were trying really hard to make a VW ID3

I hope they give us 4 wheel drive

Vis

Push start button is considered a quirk, now?

Great review Doug. I own a 2017 Bolt EV which has been a great car. I actually think this EUV is better looking than the EV model, but that is a matter of preference. Seems like a great value and believe this will be a terrific vehicle for Chevrolet. The two things Chevrolet needs to add is all wheel drive option, and a faster charging system. I do think you scored it a little low for fun factor however as I find it very fun to drive and it has better acceleration than most gas cars. Thanks again!

CAFETERIA SEATS

Better than a Tesla, all of the practicality, none of the flashy faux green nonsense.

Not a big fan of signal lamps in the bumpers, as a truck driver it's not easy to see those little lights

Good grief 🙄

I cannot wait til we pass this awkward stage where the center console needs to devote 50% of usable space to gear selection. if they are just buttons.. just put them on the steering wheel and give me some cupholders or phone holder or something useful

2:05 SuS

Can you the 400z

Please review an electric Golf!

Piano black trim is dramatically inferior to cheap hard plastic, especially around switchgear

I think u said EUV about 50 thousand times. Jezzzzus!

This car has some nice features on the inside, but I can’t see many people buying this car for $38K. Sorry, looks like it costs under $20K.

The Bolt EUV would sell great here if GM just hadn´t pulled out of Europe. Curious what the Bolt would have looked like as an Opel.

"You only have one setting, on or off." (Bob Newhart voice) That... that's two settings.

Why couldn't GM bring back the Saturn and have that be GM's ev brand, like this bolt euv

As a current Bolt EV owner I think Doug really hits the nail on the head w this review. Very accurate review of the car.

Rear bumper is inexcusable. Low brake lights seem like a liability. Otherwise I'd buy one of these, the value proposition is great.

I rented a Bolt EV and absolutely loved it.

What if someone wants a gas car that looks like this.

This is guy with a lipse

No ground clearance, no all wheel drive, no towing capacity, less cargo space than an Honda Civic........ nothing practicle about this.

5:54 I absolutely hate that front grill, it looks like there was an actual grill at some point but the company decided to plaster packaging tape all over it. Except, you cant remove the tape....

I had to check, I thought my playback speed was set to 1.5x

The end was brilliant :)

I am convinced that GM intentionally made the Bolt, Bolt EUV and Volt all awkward so as to not threaten their ICE vehicle sales. They do all kinds of weird stuff to downgrade the cars in small but annoying ways. Like the Volt being so low, small and cramped, not making it into a larger model that would actually be comfortable. Then the Bolt not having adaptive cruise control or a sunroof, on any trim (maybe they have it now in year 5?), those ugly brake lights and turn signals. Or now the Bolt EUV's ugly plastic back part that serves no purpose and is not on any other car. The list goes on and on... Compare that to a Tesla where they actually want to make it nice, attractive and functional.

3:40 Why GM? Why? Edit: the way they did it was really ugly. I’d like them to change it, but I highly doubt they will

Which is it Doug, are you 6 3 or 6 4? You can’t be both

Doug doesn’t say supercruise he says supercruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuise

The base does not come with the super cruise option available.

I agree with everything you said... but you did not mention charging speed. Back in 2017 the Bolt EV had the longest range (238 miles), and fastest DC Fast Charging speed (55 KW) of any EV that didn't have a Tesla badge... Now for 2022, the Bolt has a whopping 12 miles more range and the exact same charging speed. That charging speed is now WORST in class rather than being BEST in class like it was back in 2017. The Bolt EUV is the perfect commuter car, but if you are going to be road tripping in an EV there are much better choices out there.

Is that police tape? lol

A volt was waiting to back up the other day, and I had no clue because the back up light is a triangle at the bottom of the bumper...gm sucks

It’s always disappointing to see auto makers go cheap ass with one-side-flashing-brake-light turn signals instead of a decent and separate dedicated amber turn signal.

Yummy Blazer EV (looks like a blazer lol)

My big takeaway from this video: there’s a RAV4 Prime review coming

ugh another car putting brake lights in hard to see areas, id really like to know why manufacturers are gravitating toward this "feature" when the whole point of a brake light is to be visible.

A pinch of trailblazer😃

For a moment i thought the car had a really big rear spoiler at 0:14

Wonder how many of these will get rear-ended in traffic because the break lights are below where someone behind you will be looking for it normally? Will also be out of view if following close in traffic. I see this design element as a real fail.

Just can't get excited about an EV.

Looks a bit like Nio from the front.

It's an oouev? lmao idk

The Bolt is slow for an EV. Very surprising to feel how lackadaisical it is.

US still hasn ditched the same light share by the brake/signal , that is super idiotic, it has been proven ages ago...2021 FFS....

EUV drinking game?

Eeee you veee will be engrained in me forever.

And it has bose sound speakers. Those tend to be quite good. It maters to me, although Doug rarely talks about audio quality.

BACKSEAT BONANZA 2.0

Doug didn't even mention the Chevy Volt when he discussed the confusion, disappointing

Doug kept quoting the base prices, but he never mentioned how much this loaded car is! The base models are great values, but this is not nearly a base model.

Chevrolet makes some of the most unattractive vehicles ever. They need to fire there entire design team!

As a "new" Volt owner, it is a little surprise that the 2021 Bolt has so much similarity to my 2017 Volt. Although the Volt is dead, I still think I prefer Volt over Bolt since I can drive it as an EV most of the time, but don't need to worry about range since I can always pump some gas and go anywhere without worry about charging station. Maybe Doug should review a Volt next time.

Glsd I watched this

It’s a shame this thing still only DC-fast-charges at 50kW in 2021.

That auto pilot super cruise is too much big brother shit for me.

The aging tech and cost of ownership on one of these in the future is gonna make the value of these drop like a brick!

16:45 gun compartment.

GM needs to come up with some more names that are related to electricity, the Volt, Bolt, Bolt cruze project, and now this

bro if i had a dime for every time he said euv
