Apart from the two trims, there are 6 Package options as well namely Power Convenience Package, Driver Confidence Package, Comfort Package, Winter/Summer Floor Mats Package, Interior Protection Package, Blackout Package. The list of standard features is quite extensive, but that also drives the cost of this compact sedan beyond the segment. What a GD day.There are two trims in the 2019 Chevrolet Volt: the base LT variant, and the upmarket Premier variant. With the guard pacing, we hand the keys to Victor and he drives away. Although the Volt's 120-foot emergency stopping distance is so-so, the vastly better brake feel is great for briefly scrubbing speed. Never did the new, bigger engine sweat and scream to redline to recharge the battery-it's too smart to let itself get painted into an awkward operational corner like that. How its sense of battery weight now feels more like solid, road-quieting ride motions. I'd forgotten from our press drive along Pacific Coast Highway how nimble it is. But it heaved heavily over road undulations, and its engine sometimes went into a panicked, roaring regen frenzy when the battery got too low. The original Volt had some real strengths-finger-snap torque off the line being the best. The car moves as a coherent whole, balanced, responsive, reminding me of how suited a properly integrated electric drivetrain is for serious driving (see every story written about Tesla for more information). I squeeze the Regen on Demand paddles behind the steering wheel to whoa-down the car with my fingers. The steering effort is slightly heavy-I like that. "Um, golly, this is a really fun." I dip in and out of the throttle, ginning and rotating the cornering car exactly so.

Even a kid would complain about this spot, but it's a check in the box next to the words "conceivably, I could."

In back, I folded myself into the new, temporary middle-seat perch that requires straddling the battery but expands the car into five-seater territory (though there's no center headrest). We all became befuddled as the screen showed the map to one destination while the voice gave directions to the other).

The seats are torso-wrapping, the twin 8-inch displays are brightly high-res, the center-stack controls are easier to use, and my first brush with Apple CarPlay was a thumbs-up (though during the press drive, I'd directed the car's nav to the hotel while simultaneously routing the CarPlay map to a coffee shop. While waiting for the battery's state-of-charge graphic to slowly rise, I climb around the interior. I'm feeling terrible about this guy, as I know he knows that a Volt doesn't actually need to be charged. Back at the ChargePoint station, Victor points out that the orange Fiat 500e was now parked next to the Volt, its charge port again open.
