How much room is in the backseat of a Chevy Bolt?
The backseat in the Chevy Bolt family provides a practical amount of legroom for a subcompact hatchback: roughly 36 inches in the Bolt EV and about 39 inches in the longer Bolt EUV. Real-world comfort depends on seat position and passenger size.
Backseat dimensions at a glance
Manufacturer specifications and independent reviews summarize rear legroom for each Bolt model. The numbers here reflect typical seating in a normal driving position.
Bolt EV
Rear legroom: approximately 36 inches (about 91 cm).
Bolt EUV
Rear legroom: approximately 39 inches (about 99 cm).
Note: Dimensions can vary slightly by model year and trim, and the middle seat tends to feel tighter due to a lower center tunnel and narrower width.
Practical implications for passengers
In everyday use, the backseat is comfortable for two adults on commuting trips and errands. Three adults in the rear can be workable for short journeys in the EUV, but the middle occupant may feel cramped depending on body size and seat adjustments.
Additional factors to consider
Other aspects that influence rear-seat comfort include headroom, shoulder room, and seat cushion depth. The EUV generally provides more rear legroom and slightly more headroom thanks to its longer roofline, and it also offers similar or slightly improved cargo-accessibility when the rear seats are folded.
Summary
Overall, the Chevy Bolt EUV offers more rear legroom than the Bolt EV—roughly 39 inches versus 36 inches—making it the more comfortable option for adults in the back on longer trips. For everyday use with two passengers, both models provide adequate space, with the EUV delivering extra room when needed.
