OSHAWA, Ont. (Thursday, October 9, 2025) – By popular demand, General Motors is bringing back the Chevrolet Bolt, building on the formula that made its predecessor one of the industry’s most popular electric vehicles. Bolt joins the Chevrolet Equinox EV, currently one of the market’s best-selling EVs, solidifying Chevrolet’s position in the affordable EV segment.

Starting at $43,470³ ($39,999 MSRP) the 2027 Bolt LT is Canada’s lowest price EV¹ with over 400 km of estimates range². It is now available from $35,123 cash purchase price⁴, which includes a $4,000 cash purchase rebate⁴ and $5,000 EVAP incentives⁵ for eligible customers on select models configured at $50,000 or less.

“The Chevrolet Bolt made history as Canada’s first widely accessible, long-range electric vehicle, earning a fiercely loyal following for its affordability, versatility, and everyday practicality,” said James Hodge, Chevrolet Canada’s brand director.

“Since production ended, we’ve listened closely to our customers—and the passion for the Bolt has been loud and clear. That’s why we’re bringing it back, and it’s better than ever. This return is a tribute to everything the Bolt represents to our drivers and to Chevrolet. If you’ve been holding out, now’s the time to make it yours. Don’t miss your chance to own one of Canada’s most popular EVs,” Hodge added.

Motivated by efficiency

The 2027 Bolt may have a familiar shape, but underneath it’s sporting the latest GM EV technology. The X76 electric drive unit powering the 2027 Bolt was designed in-house at GM, and the Bolt benefits from the latest wave of continual improvements made by GM.   

The X76 drive unit was designed from the ground up to maximize driving range and deliver improved efficiency in cost and energy usage. The permanent-magnet motor uses minimal rare-earth materials for improved costs. Segmented magnets reduce heat build-up and energy loss, and silicon carbide inverter materials minimize energy loss between the battery and drive unit.  

The 2027 Bolt is the 10^th GM EV model to use the X76 drive unit. Sharing this component across GM’s vast EV portfolio allowed us to pass the cost savings on to the customer. The 2027 Bolt features our most advanced X76 variant to date, benefiting from extensive and rigorous testing both in the real world and virtually.   

The Bolt benefits from a blended regenerative braking system for even more efficiency. Whether or not the driver engages One-Pedal Driving¹⁰ mode, software in the Bolt prioritizes technology that returns braking energy back to the battery for improved range. The braking system has been optimized for consistent pedal feel during both regen and friction braking, a key improvement over the previous Bolt.  

Tech titan

The 2027 Bolt’s integrated infotainment system features Google built-in⁶ and the latest suite of entertainment apps, powered by OnStar Connectivity¹¹, to deliver capability, convenience, and fun for every journey.

With Google Maps embedded with vehicle systems, your drive route automatically includes information on battery range. On longer drives, Google Maps will give you smarter routes and charging recommendations, factoring in real time charging station status and range estimates based on driving style. If DC fast charging is available along your route, automatic battery preconditioning gives your battery a warm-up for optimal charging performance.  

Google Maps also syncs with Super Cruise⁷ driver assistant technology to show Super Cruise capable routes and indicate how many minutes of your trip can be driven hands-free. Enhancements to the Super Cruise-Google Maps integration ensure you’ve navigated to the correct lane at exit ramps or interchanges.

With “Hey Google” voice assistance, you can control cabin temperature, seat warmers, voice-to-text, hands-free phone calls and more, all without taking your hands off the steering wheel. You can even integrate your smart-home devices, using voice commands to open your garage door as you’re arriving home.

When you’re parked or charging, the 2027 Bolt offers premium in-vehicle entertainment apps¹² like Angry Birds, Chrome, GameSnacks, Tubi, Prime Video, and more, so you can stream, game, or browse the internet from your dashboard¹³. And the list of apps available for download via Google Play keeps growing.

Charging ahead

The 2027 Bolt is Chevrolet’s first vehicle to offer a native NACS charging port, increasing drivers’ opportunities to access the ever-expanding public charging network. The 2027 Bolt can take advantage of DC public fast charging up to 150 kW, charging more than 2.5x faster than the previous Bolt. With DC public fast charging, drivers can now go from 10% to 80% battery charge in 25 minutes³.

According to NRCan and the Clean Energy Canada reports, over 80% of Canadian EV drivers charge at home. With the average Canadian driving roughly 50 km per day, and a GM-estimated battery range of up to 422 km, the 2027 Bolt is capable of handling the everyday needs of most Canadian EV drivers with ease.

Refined new interior

“Fans love the space and practicality of the Bolt’s roomy hatchback layout,” said Phil Zak, executive design director, Global Chevrolet. “We took feedback directly from customers to make sure the 2027 Bolt delivers improved technology and expanded features without compromising space, usability or style.”  

The new, driver-centric interior is anchored by an 11.3-inch-diagonal center-dash infotainment screen, plus an 11-inch-diagonal driver information center with user-configurable display.

The new column shifter allows for more space between the front seats, and an available panoramic sunroof provides natural light, accentuating the airy, spacious feeling. The dashboard has an intentional mix of physical and virtual controls, ensuring that the most frequently-used features – like climate control or audio volume – are immediately accessible.   

Open storage spaces below the instrument panel and between the front seats provide easy grab-and-go access. Standard heated seats and a heated steering wheel, along with available ventilated front seats and wireless phone charging, embody Bolt’s mission to provide a premium EV experience at an affordable price.

Style for miles

New exterior styling gives a fresh take on Bolt’s iconic presence. Seven available exterior paint colours and 17-inch wheels available in three finishes allow Bolt customers to choose the best expression of their style. 

For the first time, the 2027 Chevy Bolt is available in Chevrolet’s sporty RS trim, with unique grille badging, high-gloss black wheels and roof rails. Bolt RS is available in an exclusive color combination of Atomic Yellow exterior with red interior accent stitching.  

Everything Bolt Fans Love, And So Much More

From its introduction in model-year 2017, Bolt was a game-changer – the first long-range, mass-produced EV available at a truly affordable price. In Canada, the Bolt EV was recently recognized with the 2025 Canadian Black Book Best Retained Value Award in the Mainstream Electric Car category—highlighting its lasting value for Canadian drivers.

Today, General Motors leads the Canadian EV market, driven by Chevrolet’s expanding lineup of electric vehicles. Our loyal Bolt drivers played a key role in that success, helping establish Chevrolet as an EV leader. The Bolt returns for the 2027 model year with everything customers loved—and everything they've been asking for—in this genre-defining vehicle.
