OKEMOS, Mich. –– Producing vehicles with the environment in mind matters more than ever, so it says something about General Motors' and Chevrolet's ambition that Green Car Journal named the Chevrolet Volt as its Green Car of the Year for the second time at the Los Angeles Auto Show earlier in November 2015.
The Chevy Volt first won the award after its debut in 2010 before hitting dealership lots as a 2011 model. This year, Green Car Journal's 11-member panel named the Chevrolet Volt as its Green Car of the Year for the second time based on the electric vehicle's fuel efficiency, Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board certifications, performance, affordability, availability, and accessibility.
“Chevrolet’s all-new Volt is a milestone, building on an already-technologically advanced ‘green’ car and delivering what buyers have longed for, including an impressive 53-mile driving range on a single charge,” said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com.
The 2016 Chevy Volt was able to beat out a number of popular green vehicles for the Green Car of the Year award, including the Audi A3 e-tron, Honda Civic, Hyundai Sonata, and Toyota Prius. The difference is in the 2016 Volt's total driving range capability of 420 miles, and an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 42 mpg highway.
“Chevrolet is all about bringing affordable electrification to our customers, and that is exactly what we did with the Volt” said Steve Majoros, Chevrolet marketing director. “For Volt to stand out in Green Car’s evaluation, it reaffirms Chevrolet’s commitment to being a leader in electrification.”
Green Car Journal aren't the only ones who have noticed the 2016 Chevy Volt's impressive eco-friendly orientation. Independent surveys conclude that Volt owners are more satisfied than drivers of other vehicles, and 70% are new to GM.
