2016 Chevrolet Volt Test-Driven by Mark Reuss

General Motors previously stated that the Chevrolet Volt “improves upon its predecessor in every way. We kept everything that our first generation Volt owners loved and listened to what they wanted.” In the video attached below, that statement according to which improvements were made based on input received by the company from first-gen Volt owners.

Mark Reuss, the executive vice president of global product development, purchasing & supply chain, doesn’t appear to be that fond of driving by the book (gesticulates with the right hand while driving, with the left hand squeezing the steering wheel at the granddaddy 8 o’clock position, not the correct 9 sharp).

Nevertheless, Reuss and the Volt's chief engineer do offer some details on the new 2016 Chevrolet Volt

For starters, Mark tells that the tire roar of the first Volt was taken care of with the new one. Andrew Farah, chief engineer for the 2016 Volt, also disclosed that his team worked hard on improving NVH (noise, vibration & harshness), as well as low-end acceleration, what you need to quick sprints.

Both General Motors officials boast about bettered dynamic aspects, new steering calibration and such, with Reuss impressed at the end of the video by the 2016 Chevrolet Volt’s range/fuel economy, without disclosing what the trip computer indicated. Boo and hiss! We previously covered what’s under the skin of the all-new Volt, but the detail that gives us fidgety feet is the mainstreaminization of the new model.
