Chevrolet Volt data analysis

How Chevrolet Volt overall length varies

Across 6 configurations recorded for the 2015 through 2020 Chevrolet Volt, overall length runs from 177 inches to 180 inches. The strongest figure belongs to the 2016 Chevrolet Volt (VOLT 4DR HATCHBACK) at 180 inches, and the weakest to the 2015 car (VOLT 4DR HATCHBACK) at 177 inches — a spread of 2%. The narrow spread means any year of the Chevrolet Volt in this table behaves much like the others, so you can shop on price, condition and mileage rather than chasing a particular model year.

What changed for 2020

Average overall length for the 2020 Chevrolet Volt is 180 inches, against 180 inches for the 2019 car — it held flat. A carry-over year like this usually means no powertrain or structural change, so an older example is the cheaper way into the same specification.

How to read this Chevrolet Volt data

This page lists every 2015 through 2020 Chevrolet Volt record we hold for this measurement — 6 rows in total, one per configuration and model year rather than a single headline figure. Figures are published as the source agency records them: we do not round, average or interpolate missing years, and a year that is absent from the table is a year with no published measurement rather than a zero. Where a manufacturer offered several drivetrains or body styles in the same year, each appears on its own row, because those variants rarely share the same numbers.

Where these Chevrolet Volt figures come from

Every value on this page is loaded from federal open data — EPA fuel economy submissions, NHTSA vehicle and crash-test records, and manufacturer specification filings — rather than dealer listings or copied editorial content. The Chevrolet Volt record refreshes as the agencies publish, which typically means new model-year rows appear in the autumn and crash-test results follow through the model year as vehicles are tested. Because certification data is filed per configuration, treat any single headline number for this vehicle with caution: the figure that applies to a specific car depends on its engine, drivetrain, body style and model year, all of which are listed separately above. If a number here disagrees with a brochure, the brochure is usually quoting the best available configuration rather than the one being sold.

Will the Chevrolet Volt fit your garage and parking space?

Measured against a standard single garage door (8 ft wide, 7 ft tall, 20 ft deep stall) and a standard US surface parking space (9 ft x 18 ft). Measure your own opening before buying — older garages are frequently narrower.

Garage door width

Fits

71.3 in wide (body only, mirrors folded) — about 24.7 in of total clearance, so roughly 12 in per side.

Garage door height

Clears

56.3 in tall — 27.7 in of headroom before roof rails, antennas, or a roof box are added.

Parking space

Fits a standard stall

180.3 in long leaves 35.7 in to spare in an 18 ft space, and 36.7 in of side clearance in a 9 ft one.

Size drift: the 2020 Chevrolet Volt is 3 in longer than the 2015 car in our records. If you are replacing an older example with a newer one, check the garage clearance again rather than assuming the outgoing car's footprint carries over.

Its wheelbase (105.9 in) accounts for about 59% of overall length. A higher share generally means shorter overhangs — better approach and departure clearance on driveways and ramps, and more cabin space for the same parking footprint.
