The closer we get to the launch date, the more expensive might be the future Chevrolet Volt. After a target price of £15,000/$30,000, then raised to £20,000/$40,000, the Volt will cost £24,000/$48,000.
In an interview with Business Week, Bob Lutz said that GM has to raise the price once again if the carmaker wants to make a profit. Thus, the future Chevrolet Volt might cost £24,000/$48,000. For this price, what are the alternatives on the American market? BMW sells the 535i saloon for $49,400 or a M3 saloon for $53,900. You can get an Infiniti M45 for $49,700 or a G37 for $34,500 and keep the rest in the bank. Suddenly the Volt appears less appealing than initially thought.
Along with the rising price, GM has also reduced its production output from 60,000 to 10,000 for the first year.
