At least it comes in a lot of fun colours. Sure, the mileage is merely adequate (201 kilometres), and who knows what’ll happen to the battery in -40, but it seems okay enough.

Why is the Canadian version rated at 210km / 130 miles and the American version rated at 133km / 83 miles?

Because Canada > United States.

Surely there is a more scientific reason?

Maybe one is rated for 350lb passengers and one is rated for normal passengers?

Canadian miles aren’t as long as American miles.

I’d much rather have a GTE, better performance and less range anxiety. Shame we don’t get it in North America, although the A3 e-tron is basically the same car.

Many many colours. You won’t even believe how many colours. It’ll have the best colours. Tremendous.

It probably runs on strangled dolphins or minced kittens, depending on the trim level.

The Canadian version is the face lifted model with a bigger battery. We will get that one for 2018

I wish they sold the GTE Passat wagon here. The Volt needs more competition.
