2027 Chevrolet Bolt: What's New, Trims, Range & Specs
The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt returns with 262 miles of EPA-estimated range and 210 hp from its GM X76 electric motor. The new RS trim debuts this year as the first-ever Bolt RS, adding a unique grille, Black wheels, and Red-stitched Evotex seats. This page covers trims, specs, and tech so you can compare before visiting ASA Auto Plaza of Jackson.
What's New for 2027
The biggest change for 2027 is the introduction of the first-ever Bolt RS trim. It is a purpose-designed variant that brings a gloss black grille, 17-inch Black aluminum wheels, Gloss Black roof rails, Black Evotex seating with Red stitching, multi-color ambient lighting, and RS badging as standard content. That combination gives the Bolt a distinct personality it did not carry in prior years.
Alongside the RS launch, both trims receive a redesigned front and rear fascia, updating the exterior proportions while keeping the same 262-mile range and 65 kWh battery pack that made the outgoing model strong. The native NACS (North American Charging System) charge port is standard on both trims, replacing the need for an adapter at most public DC fast chargers.
The 11.3-inch center touchscreen with Google Built-In and the 11-inch digital driver information center also carry over with a Gemini AI in-vehicle assistant added to the Google Built-In suite, a notable step up in voice and assistant capability.

Trim Lineup
The 2027 Bolt is offered in two trims: LT and RS.
LT
LT is the entry trim and it is not a stripped-down starting point. Standard features include the 11.3-inch Google Built-In touchscreen, the 11-inch digital driver information center, an 8-way power driver seat, heated front seats, heated steering wheel, automatic climate control, Keyless Open and Start, 5G vehicle connectivity, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, and DC fast charging via the native NACS port. Available additions on the LT include Super Cruise hands-free highway driving assistance, HD Surround Vision, a dual-panel power sunroof, wireless phone charging, and a Rear Camera Mirror.
Exterior color options exclusive to the LT include Relic Green Metallic. Wheel choice on the LT is a 17-inch Silver painted aluminum wheel.
RS
RS includes everything on the LT and layers on the first-ever Bolt RS appearance package. That means the gloss black front grille, 17-inch Gloss Black painted aluminum wheels, Gloss Black roof rails, RS badging, Black Evotex seating with Red stitching, and multi-color ambient interior lighting as standard equipment. The RS also adds ventilated front seats as standard content. Atomic Yellow is an RS-exclusive exterior color. The interior rearview mirror shifts to an auto-dimming unit on the RS, which carries a manual day/night mirror as standard on the LT instead.
Both trims seat five and share the same powertrain, range, and core safety suite.
Performance & Powertrain
The 2027 Bolt uses GM's X76 permanent-magnet electric motor producing 210 hp and 169 lb-ft of torque, driving the front wheels through a single-speed direct-drive unit. The 65 kWh battery delivers EPA-estimated 262 miles of range, rated at 134 MPGe city, 106 MPGe highway, and 120 MPGe combined. EPA fuel economy ratings
Charging is a strong point. The native NACS port accepts DC fast charging at up to 150 kW, taking the battery from 10 percent to 80 percent in approximately 25 to 26 minutes. The onboard Level 2 AC charging module handles up to 11.5 kW, and the vehicle supports vehicle-to-home capability, which lets the Bolt serve as a power source for compatible home equipment.
One-Pedal Driving mode is standard, allowing most deceleration to happen through regenerative braking without pressing the brake pedal in typical stop-and-go driving.
The curb weight is 3,776 lbs on the LT and 3,807 lbs on the RS.
Interior, Comfort & Cargo
The 2027 Bolt seats five across two rows. Front head room measures 40.00 inches and front leg room reaches 44.27 inches. Rear passengers get 37.80 inches of head room and 39.10 inches of leg room, which is competitive for the compact hatchback segment.
Cargo behind the second row measures 16.2 cubic feet. With the 60/40 split-folding rear seat flat, maximum cargo expands to 56.3 cubic feet, making the Bolt genuinely useful as a small utility vehicle.
The LT comes standard with cloth seating. The RS uses Black Evotex material with Red stitching. The RS adds ventilated front seats as standard and heated seats as standard on both trims. Both rows have USB-C data and charging ports. Wireless phone charging is available on both trims.
An available panoramic sunroof package adds open-sky feel without significantly affecting headroom. The tilt-and-telescopic steering column, rear center armrest, and automatic climate control are standard across both trims.
Technology & Infotainment
The 2027 Bolt centers its tech experience on an 11.3-inch color LCD touchscreen with Google Built-In. That means Google Maps, Google Assistant, and access to the Google Play app store are native to the vehicle, not reliant on a paired phone. The Gemini AI assistant is integrated into Google Built-In, responding to natural-language commands for navigation, media, and vehicle settings.
The 11-inch digital driver information center is user-configurable, allowing different display layouts based on driver preference. SiriusXM with 360L trial subscription is standard.
When parked or charging, the Bolt supports in-vehicle streaming through apps including HBO Max, Tubi, Prime Video, and YouTube. Wi-Fi hotspot capability is standard via the 5G connectivity system.
Available Super Cruise provides hands-free highway driving assistance on compatible roads. The HD Surround Vision system, digital rearview mirror, and Rear Camera Mirror are available to further extend situational awareness. Rainsense automatic wipers and IntelliBeam automatic high beams come standard.

Safety & Driver Assistance
The 2027 Bolt carries more than 20 standard safety and driver-assistance features. Standard items across both trims include:
Forward Collision Alert with front pedestrian and bicyclist detection, Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Braking with emergency braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Automatic High Beams (IntelliBeam), Rear Park Assist, Reverse Automatic Braking, Safety Alert Seat, and Teen Driver technology.
Available items include HD Surround Vision, Front and Rear Park Assist as an upgrade package, Traffic Sign Recognition, Driver Attention Assist, and Rear Pedestrian Alert.
The battery and electric drive system is covered under an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty, which is one of the stronger EV powertrain guarantees in the segment. GM warranty terms
Who It's For vs the Prior Year
Shoppers who looked at the 2026 Bolt and wanted a more expressive exterior now have a reason to step up: the RS trim did not exist before. It delivers distinct styling at a modest premium without changing the core range, charging capability, or safety content. If exterior style matters and a sport-look cabin is appealing, the RS is a meaningful upgrade.
The LT remains the sensible choice for buyers who want maximum range per dollar, particularly those in Jackson, MN or surrounding areas driving longer daily routes where 262 miles of range covers a full workweek without needing a public charge stop.
Both trims gained the new fascia design, the Gemini AI assistant, and the native NACS port, so upgrading from a 2025 or 2026 model brings tangible charging and technology improvements regardless of trim.
Drivers doing regular interstate trips across southern Minnesota will appreciate the 150 kW fast-charging speed, which makes longer drives practical with a 25-to-26-minute charge window.
