The 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV’s high-tech electric drivetrain already qualifies it as an affordable tech wonder. There’s more to the electric SUV’s technology story, however. It’s one of the least expensive cars you can buy with an available hands-free semi-automated driving system.
That system is known as Super Cruise, and it can manage steering, braking and acceleration on roughly 200,000 miles of certified roads in the U.S. and Canada. Soon, the network’s size will increase to 400,000 miles of compatible roads. Unlike some semi-automated driving systems available today, Chevrolet’s system demands constant attention and the driver’s ability to regain control at a moment’s notice. If it senses you’re distracted, it reminds you to pay attention and will disengage when deemed appropriate.
The Bolt EUV holds a spot in the lower half of our electric SUV ranking.
