Manchester, CT -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/22/2011 -- As the only dealer in the Hartford area to deliver a new Chevy Volt, Carter Chevrolet is filled with excitement for the innovative vehicle. Critics and Hartford Chevy enthusiasts alike cannot stop raving about the all-new Chevy Volt, which was recently named the “2011 Car of the Year” by Motor Trend magazine. The car of the year title is one of the highest honors a vehicle can achieve and perhaps it is no surprise given that the Volt is one of the most innovative vehicles on the market.

The Volt Wows Hartford Chevy Fans

Designed with efficiency in mind, the all-new Volt is powered by electricity without being tethered to an outlet. Even more remarkable is its ability to drive gas and emissions free for most commutes. Its small quiet on-board gas generator creates electricity that will power the Volt on battery and gas power for hundreds of miles.

The Volt can travel up to 35 miles on battery power alone and has a range of 379 miles when using both the engine and battery. Aided by its aerodynamic exterior, Goodyear Assurance fuel max tires, and an innovative 16-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, the Volt will take Hartford Chevy owners anywhere they want to go.

The Volt’s superior battery is the heart of the car. Tested and built to withstand the toughest elements, Chevy backs its battery with a 100,000 mile / 8-year warranty. With the ability to easily plug-in and charge at home on any standard 120V household outlet, the all-new Volt is not only a greener vehicle but also more cost effective. Unlike standard cars, an average daily commute in the Volt will only cost about $1.50 of electricity a day.

The Volt’s interior is also equipped with innovative features sure to impress any Hartford Chevy shopper. A re-imagined dashboard will make driving more fun and informative. In addition, an available Volt mobile app can help you drive more efficiently. Other features available in the Volt include: a Bose Energy Efficient Sound System, an Audio Hard Drive with 30GBs of audio data storage with DVR-like time shift capabilities, BlueTooth connectivity, a USB port for MP3 players or flash drive devices, and a remote keyless starter.

Carter Chevrolet expects further allocations of the Volt by late spring—all the while receiving customer inquiries. Visit your Hartford Chevy dealership’s website to see what Carter Chevrolet’s first Volt customer had to say.
