Interior and Passenger Space
Interior and Passenger Space Rating:
Although spacious and practical, the Chevy Bolt EV's interior quality and appearance don't befit its $30,000-plus price point. It looks and feels more as if it belongs in a cheaper economy car. It's clear where General Motors spent its money: on the Bolt's big battery.
What's New for 2019?
The Bolt enters 2019 without changing the interior design and materials or updating the standard features and options. While it remains incredibly spacious inside-and crossover lovers will enjoy its raised seat height-the Chevy's many hard plastics and unremarkable list of features (no power-adjustable seats are one example) continue to draw comparisons with cheaper consumer cars.

Blind Spots, Visibility, and Obscured Roadway
Roof pillars protect occupants in a rollover crash, but they also create blind spots. We determine visibility by measuring the location and width of each pillar using an H-Point Machine and a laser beam (surrogates for a driver and eyeball, respectively). Front and rear visibility are calculated by subtracting the viewable area blocked by the pillars from a perfect 180-degree score.
The cabin of the 2019 Bolt EV is the same as the 2018 version. For more information on the interior, read our in-depth review of the 2018 Chevrolet Bolt EV.
