Size Comparison with Similar Cars

I found this very useful in understanding the size and shape of the Bolt EV:

The shadow outline in this comparison is the Honda Fit:

Ad this is the Bolt EV compared to the Kia Soul (which has an EV version):

The Bolt EV is about 2.5" wider than the Fit, and about 1.5" narrower than the Soul.

So, Bolt EV has a slightly modified shape than both of these cars. Any articles on how that changes things?

Re: Size Comparison with Similar Cars

The article also compares the Bolt EV to two other cars - the point is to have a frame of reference, to gauge the its size. I am glad it is not big.

I wish they compared it to the i3 and the Leaf and the e-Golf; as those are the competitor EV's.

I agree. But these pics were pretty awesome too. Thanks for sharing with Chevy Bolt Forum.

Nicely done. I wish there were a side by side photo of the Bolt EV and Spark EV.

Yeah both look good. I like the SUV look of the Soul for sure but the Bolt has a sleek compact look to it that is also pleasing

The Bolt is 18" longer and 5 " wider than the Spark, and pretty much the same height.

Wow that's pretty low for a car that much larger than my Spark EV.
