The Chevy Volt has been discontinued.
Chevrolet retired the Volt after the 2019 model year as part of a broader realignment toward electric vehicles and a stronger emphasis on SUVs and trucks. This article explains what has been discontinued and why, and what Chevrolet is prioritizing in the near term.
Acknowledging the change: Notable discontinuations
Below is a concise look at one of the most notable discontinued models in recent years and why it matters.
- Chevrolet Volt — discontinued after the 2019 model year; a plug-in hybrid that helped Chevrolet introduce electrified driving before the brand pivoted to all-electric and more popular SUV options.
The Volt's retirement underscored Chevrolet's shift away from traditional passenger cars toward electrified crossovers and full-electric models.
Why Chevrolet is changing its lineup
Chevrolet's strategy centers on electrification and higher-demand body styles, aiming to build a broader and more profitable lineup as consumer preferences tilt toward SUVs and EVs.
Electric options now available
For shoppers seeking electrified vehicles today, Chevrolet offers core electric options and a growing array of utility-focused models.
- Bolt EV — Chevrolet's main affordable electric hatchback.
- Bolt EUV — A slightly larger, more versatile electric crossover in the Bolt family.
These Bolt models form the backbone of Chevrolet's current EV lineup as the brand expands with more capable electric trucks and crossovers in the coming years.
Looking ahead: what’s on the horizon
Beyond the Bolt, Chevrolet has unveiled or announced several electrified models that will broaden its EV footprint, including the Silverado EV pickup and the Blazer EV crossover. The company plans to continue expanding its electric offerings while phasing out older passenger-car lines.
Summary
Chevrolet has discontinued the Volt, reflecting a broader pivot away from plug-in hybrids and gasoline-powered sedans toward full-electric vehicles and popular SUVs. The Bolt family remains Chevrolet's entry point into EVs, with future electric models like the Silverado EV and Blazer EV on the horizon as part of a larger electrification strategy.
