The Chevrolet Bolt EUV has been crash tested by the NHTSA and earned top safety ratings of five stars in every field save from rollover tests, which only managed four stars. The IIHS has not taken a look at the crossover, and it has only rated the roof strength of the regular Bolt EV.
Each Bolt EUV comes with ten airbags, including knee airbags for the driver and front passenger and seat-mounted side-impact airbags for all outboard seating positions. Industry standards such as stability and traction control along with ABS braking and a reverse camera are also present.
Both trims get the Chevy Safety Assist suite as standard. This includes automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, front pedestrian braking, following distance indicator, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, and auto high beams. Teen driver and a pedestrian safety signal is also standard. The Premier adds an HD surround-view camera system, rear park assist, and rear cross-traffic alert.

Though it has no official reliability rating, the Chevrolet Bolt EUV has only been recalled twice, and neither of those recalls are valid for the 2023 model year. The previous problems included improperly fitted front airbags and battery-related fires that have plagued the regular Bolt EV for quite some time.
Chevrolet covers the Bolt EUV with a three-year/36,000-mile basic warranty (including a corrosion warranty) and an eight-year/100,000 electric component warranty. Roadside assistance is provided for five years/60,000 miles.
