2011 Chevy Volt : The North America Car of the Year
Detroit Auto Show was the witness of a big achievement reached by Chevrolet Volt. After previously Volt has been awarded as 2011 Car of the Year by Motor Trend, Car and Driver 10 Best for 2011, 10 Best Engines for 2011 by AutoWorld, 2011 Green Car of the Year by Green Car Journal, 2011 Automobile of the Year by Automobile Magazine, and 2010 Breakthrough Technology by Popular Mechanics, it’s now the 2011 North America Car of the Year.
Well, it’s not really a surprising news since the hybrid car has really cool and superb technology, combining electric power and gasoline engine as the back-up. The electric power is able to make the car run for about 40 miles before the battery pack runs out and replaced by four cylinder engine, which prolong the trip up to 300 miles.
With the winning of Chevy Volt as the Car of the Year 2011, it’s able to beat its two biggest competitors: Leaf from Nissan and Sonata from Hyundai. Meanwhile, Ford Explorer won the Truck of the Year award, beating its two biggest competitors: the Durango from Dodge and Grand Cherokee from Jeep.
Both of these awards were compiled by Deloitte, a national accounting firm in America, and presented by a panel of jury consisting of 49 automotive journalists.
