The Volt will initially only be available in the marketing areas for Vancouver, Victoria, Toronto, Oshawa, Ottawa-Gatineau, Montreal, and Quebec City, with first deliveries for these areas set for the third quarter of this year. But the revolutionary new vehicle will arrive at dealers nation-wide within twelve months of the retail launch, according to GM Canada.
Only one trim level will be available to Canadian customers, but two optional packs will add extra comfort to the mix - a Premium Trim Package and a Rear Camera and Park Assist Package.
The Volt will arrive at dealerships with a three-year or 60,000 km (whichever comes first) bumper-to-bumper coverage, five-year/160,000 km roadside assistance, courtesy transportation and limited engine coverage, plus an eight-year/160,000 km limited warranty on the Volt’s 16-kWh lithium-ion battery.
The extended range electric vehicle is powered by GM's revolutionary Voltec propulsion system, which consists of a 16-kWh lithium-ion battery pack and electric drive unit that provide pure electric range. A 1.4-liter gas engine provides extra range by operating the vehicle's electric drive system until the car can be plugged in and recharged or refueled.
"Our customers are making a commitment to technology that will help reduce our dependence on petroleum," said Micky Bly, GM executive director, global electrical systems. "In turn, we commit to deliver the highest standards for value, safety, quality, performance and reliability to our customers."
