2011 Chevrolet Volt is  the most efficient car in terms of fuel consumption but at the same time it is costly. In normal driving, its fuel cost is low with a maximum range of 300 mile and even its standard features are appealing. 2011 Chevy Volt is very much anticipated for its hybrid model of plug-in battery and gasoline where the car can be driven up to 40 miles in electric-only mode.

2011 Chevrolet Volt’s power is 1.4 4-cylinder flex-fuel engine mated to an electric-motor fueled by a 16 kWh lithium-ion battery system. That will allow the Chevy Volt to produce a total of 150-hp with a maximum torque of 273 lb-ft. The extended range electric-vehicle will have a top speed of 100 mph with a 0-60 mph time of around 9 seconds.On a full charge, the 2011 Volt can drive up to 40 miles on electric-power alone. Extended range capabilities will allow it to travel 300 miles on a full tank of gasoline.
