Bolt is not a sedan. It is a subcompact SUV.

Aren't you referring to the Bolt EUV, which is distinct from the subcompact hatchback Bolt? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevy_Bolt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevy_Bolt vs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Bolt_EUV https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Bolt_EUV

  We're kinda splitting hairs here. The significance, to me, is that the bolt does not have a very compelling drag coefficient compared to e.g. the Tesla M3 or the Ioniq 6.

    This about sums it up, doesn't it? >"Give us a budget EV that does this or that and we will buy it! >"How about the Chevy Bolt?" >"Sorry, the drag coefficient isn't as low as I'd like." It's always something. This is why auto companies aren't building cars for these people: they have lots of opinions, but don't actually buy cars.

      Wtf are you talking about? I said budget sedan. Bolt is not a sedan. It doesn't compete with vehicles like the Tesla Model 3 and Hyundai Ioniq 6, which have much lower drag coefficients and consequently significantly longer range despite comparable battery sizes. You're generalizing, and it is disingenuous.

        >Wtf are you talking about? I said budget sedan. Bolt is not a sedan. It doesn't compete with vehicles like the Tesla Model 3 and Hyundai Ioniq 6 I'm talking about things exactly like this: "these cars don't compete because one you put the luggage in the trunk!"

It's 2024. How are sedans still a thing?

  Plenty of people don't want the higher fuel consumption, worse visibility, and higher cost associated with larger vehicles.

    The OP use Tesla as an example. The Bolt is smaller and lighter than the Model 3.

      And for that smaller size and lower weight you'd expect much better range... Right? Right?? Also we'll see what the new LFP bolts weigh...

        >And for that smaller size and lower weight you'd expect much better range... Right? Right?? You called it a "larger vehicle". In no way is it "larger" than a Model 3. Right? Who said anything about range?

        Literally the first thing I put in my comment was "higher fuel consumption".

  >It's 2024. How are sedans still a thing? It's an irrelevant distinction, agreed.
