Gm and the industry at large is really ramping up its commitment to EVs. Gm's Opel brand, sold in Europe, offered a rebadged version of the Volt in the past, but it didn't do well and the company has said that it will not be doing that again. Instead, the brand will likely rebadge the Chevy Bolt. Here is what the Opel Bolt could look like.
This render was made by RM Design and uses bits from both the i3 and the Astra K.
It has been suggested that this Opel model could be called the Trixx as the brand trademarked the name and introduced a Trixx concept back in 2004.
The rendering actually looks better than the Chevy Bolt but if they do Trixx , I hope they don't stick with the 2 door concept. It reminds me of the smart car but slightly larger.
I like the way it looks, slightly better than the Bolt. Maybe it's just the color, but it appears a little more upscale. Though I don't know about the name Trixx. I couldn't take it seriously. I'd have conflicting visions of a lone pole on a stage with Jessica Rabbit dancing and fruity cereal in bowls at the bar usually reserved for peanuts.
Always liked the wheels on Opel's but too bad the cost of shippping out a set will cost quite a bit, enough that you'll likely find something just as nice though an aftermarket brand.
Well, maybe “additions” or “modifications” would be a better way to put it.

My local dealers have this:
2020 Bolt Premier for $29,800
or
2020 Bolt LT for $26,100, DCFC and Convenience and Confidence 1 Package
Which is the better deal or are they both not great deals?
There is a test done in cold conditions (-19 C) with 2 Bolt EV who have the same tires, same tire pressure, same AC conditions, same speed used, same SOC at charging and... the Bolt EV 2020 is charging faster up to 55% (looks like the cold temperature of the battery doesn't have an influence)...
Just picked up our 2017 Bolt EV after two weeks in the shop. Left us stranded at the gym by not starting, moving and giving weird messages. Towed into the dealership and 2 weeks later we now have it back. Was the drive motor battery high voltage manual disconnect lever. Many DTC’s showed...
