Daniel Breton et Sylvain Juteau sont arrivés à Détroit où la nouvelle Chevrolet Volt vient d’être dévoilée!
GM a déclaré que la Volt 2016 aurait une autonomie électrique de 50 milles (80 km) avec une batterie plus grosse, mais plus légère de 18,4 kWh qui présente une nouvelle composition chimique (192 cellules au lieu de 288 cellules). Le nouveau bloc-batteries a donc une meilleure efficacité, même s’il est moins lourd de 20 livres.
Pour l’arrivée de cette nouvelle voiture, GM parle de la deuxième moitié de 2015. Le prix de base demeure inconnu pour le moment, mais GM souhaite qu’il soit inférieur à celui de l’actuelle Volt.
Les deux moteurs ont une puissance de 111 kW/149 hp, mais ont un couple de 298 lb/pi. La moteur à combustion est maintenant un 1,5 l – 4 cylindres qui a 75 kW (101 hp) @ 5 600 RPM.
Concernant l’efficacité, la Volt 2016 affiche 5,74 l/100 km (ville et autoroute combinées) en mode d’autonomie prolongée et un taux moyen de 2,31 l/100 km. À noter également, il n’est plus nécessaire d’utiliser de l’essence super. Selon GM, le nouveau groupe motopropulseur est 12 % plus efficace et pèse 100 livres de moins.
Le 0-100 km/h se fait maintenant en 8,3 secondes (comparativement au 9 secondes de la Volt actuelle). La vitesse maximale est maintenant limitée à 157 km/h. L’autonomie totale (y compris en mode électrique) se situe à 420 milles (675 km).
Une des information les plus importantes est assurément la cinquième place qui est maintenant disponible!! Des sièges chauffants à l’arrière ainsi qu’un volant chauffant sont maintenant des options disponibles.
