Dimensions of the Chevy Bolt and Tesla Model 3

When you’re traversing the crowded streets of Ohio during your morning commutes to the office, it’s important that your vehicle can manage the crowds with ease. That’s why you’re looking for a commuter car like the Chevy Bolt or Tesla Model 3.

Something we love about both these vehicles is that they’re small, agile cars that are well-suited to weekday drives. However, you may find that the Bolt offers a bit more wiggle room, especially if you’re trying to parallel park, as you can see in the table below:

As you can see, the Chevy Bolt is considerably more compact than the Tesla Model 3. However, that doesn’t take away from its cargo space. As a hatchback, the Bolt can accommodate up to 56.6 cubic feet of cargo with the rear seats folded down. The Tesla Model 3, on the other hand, is a sedan, so it only affords 15 cubic feet of trunk space.

So, while either EV may be a good ride to work, the Chevy may offer more utility when it’s time for a weekend getaway.

Safety and Convenient Tech Features

Safety comes first, always. That’s especially true when you drive EVs like the Chevy Bolt or Tesla Model 3. Both cars have standard or available driver-assistive features that are designed to increase your awareness of your surroundings when you’re out on the road. These features include:

• Pedestrian monitoring and automatic braking
• Smart cruise control and autopilot features
• Lane keeping

They also come with a standard rearview camera that shows the area directly behind your vehicle when you’re in reverse. This makes it safe and more convenient to back up, whether you’re backing out of your driveway or parallel parking in a tight spot.

Only the Chevy Bolt, however, comes with the available Rear Camera Mirror. With the press of a button, this will turn your rearview mirror into a live video feed outside your rear window. This way, if your Bolt is packed full of suitcases, furniture, bedding, and more, you’ll still have a clear view of what’s behind you while you drive.
