2016 Chevrolet Volt Wins Second Green Car of the Year Award
2016 Chevrolet Volt Wins Second Green Car of the Year Award LOS ANGELES (Thursday, November 19, 2015) – The Next-Generation 2016 Chevrolet Volt was awarded Green Car of the Year award from Green Car Journal today at the Los Angeles Auto Show. This is the second time the Volt has won the award. The Volt, which started arriving in dealerships this fall, also won the award when it debuted in 2010 as a 2011 model. Green Car Journal praised the Volt’s increased range, all-new propulsion system and bold design. The Green Car of the Year award is determined by an 11-member panel, and is based on fuel efficiency, Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board certifications, performance and affordability. Other criteria include availability and accessibility. The other finalists were the Audi A3 e-tron, Honda Civic, Hyundai Sonata and Toyota Prius. “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 (85 km) driving range on a single charge,” said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. “A visually appealing design, increased five-passenger seating, and an array of on- board electronics combine with the Volt’s inherent efficiencies to make the 2016 Chevrolet Volt a real winner,” Cogan said. The all-new Volt delivers a pure EV driving range of up to 85 kilometres and a new 1.5L range extender, designed to use regular unleaded fuel and offers a combined fuel consumption rating of 5.6 L/100kms.

HERITAGE, LEGACY AND 100TH ANNIVERSARY TECHNOLOGY AND DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS ACCOMPLISHMENTS SPECIAL EDITION SAFETY This culminated in its ﬁrst passenger car, the Mazda R360 Coupe.

Revealed in 1960, the Mazda 360 Coupe was so advanced that it broke industry convention and heralded the future of Mazda automotive engineering prowess for passenger cars. This is the Mazda DNA. Founded in passion, nurtured with dedication.
