After we showed you some of the designs a few days ago, the plainly-named Chevrolet Volt MPV5 crossover concept has rolled silently out of the gates.
Big things first: power comes from GM's lithium ion T-battery and a 1.4 liter engine generator, as one would expect. The battery will provide 51.5 km / 32 miles per charge, while the gasoline generator contributes an extra 482 km / 299.5 miles.
So, what is it other than a smaller Orlando with a Volt nose-job and power train? An expander, that's what. This model is GM's next step in creating a new sub-brand within GM, much like Audi's upcoming e-tron line.
Other fun facts: the Volt MPV5 sits on 19s, seats 5, and is extra aerodynamic "thanks to its closed grille and aero-optimized lower air dam,...a full-underbody belly pan, along with rocker claddings, creased tail lamps and specially designed blades on the rear quarter".
It also offers more passenger space all-around, a glass-panel roof, and even provides up to 1,764 liters / 62.3 cu ft of cargo space with the back seats down (863 liters / 30.5 cu ft seats up).
While this new Volt vehicle is neat (and definitely important), it would have been nice to see a modern take on the Volt's face (which is SO 2008).

Expect it on your Chevrolet dealer by 2020 :D
With the waterfall center stack and the low glass tailgate, Volvo's C30 has some company.
Cute.

"Expect it on your Chevrolet dealer by 2020 :D"
2020? Is this model being fast-tracked?
I still wonder why Chrysler stopped the PT Cruiser.
Hmm...nice..ah..ah..nice.
To Anonymous #6 ... because the PT Cruiser should've came with a HEMI V8 instead of a lowly I4 let alone an I4 shared with a piece of shit Neon (excluding the top of the line souped up version of it).
