2016 Chevrolet Volt Test Results Via Motor Trend

To 30 MPH...

Testing by Motor Trend has shown that the 2016 Chevrolet Volt easily beats figures listed by General Motors. As we reported on previously, the Volt can zip from 0 to 60 MPH in 7.1 seconds, much quicker than GM's official time of 8.4 seconds.

But what's perhaps even more impressive is how quickly the 2016 Volt gets from 0 to 30 MPH: 2.2 seconds.

For comparison, here are the Motor Trend test results for the non-performance Tesla Model S 85.

  • 0-30 MPH - 2.3 seconds
  • 0-60 MPH - 5.0 seconds
So, the 2016 Volt is quicker to 30 MPH than the non-performance Model S 85, not a result we expected to see.

However, the performance version, the P85, smokes the 2016 Volt to 30 MPH with a time of 1.7 seconds. But still, the Volt's quickness to 30 will make the new plug-in car seem very zippy in around-town, city driving.
