Chevy is very excited about the upcoming Bolt EUV. Teasers for the upcoming electric crossover are coming before its debut next month left and right. With this recent teaser, we take a closer look at the crossover’s rear end, as we’ve already seen a headlight, a side profile and part of the interior. Roadshow reports that Chevy will partner with Disneyworld to unveil the crossover and presumably hope to grab the attention of family-oriented buyers – exactly the kind of buyer Chevy hopes it can convert to EVs.
In the teaser video, we get the back of the crossover clear, which clearly shows the Bolt-inspired design.
According to previous Roadshow reports, we can expect the Bolt EUV to have a lot in common with the Buick Velite 7.
Here’s how the Bolt and the Buick Velite 7 stack up from Roadshow:
Asked about the Velite 7 relationship with the Chevy Bolt EUV, a Chevy spokesman with Roadshow confirmed that the two models will share the same platform, but did not comment further.
As for the Velite 7 itself, Buick said it will drive 310 miles based on the New European driving cycle, but realistically expects a range below 300 miles. The NEDC is not only an outdated cycle, but according to its estimates very liberal. Slightly larger than the current Bolt EV Range of 259 miles seems more realistic. In fact, Buick calls it a ‘new modular high-performance lithium-ion battery’ for the Velite 7 with a higher energy density, so it’s likely to go a little further than a Bolt EV.

The Velite is currently only available in the Chinese market. We will know more when the new Bolt EUV makes its debut on 14 February in the most magical place on earth.
