The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt EV RS FWD marks the return of Chevrolet’s popular affordable electric hatchback with updated technology, faster charging, and a new sporty RS trim. Built as a front-wheel-drive compact EV, the Bolt focuses on delivering strong efficiency, modern connectivity, and everyday practicality at an accessible price point.
Power comes from a single permanent-magnet electric motor producing 210 horsepower and 169 lb-ft of torque, driving the front wheels through a single-speed transmission. The vehicle uses a 65 kWh lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery, offering an EPA-estimated driving range of about 262 miles on a full charge.
