2019 Volt Interior
Occupants in the cabin are in for a pleasant experience as the Volt has been well assembled and feels surprisingly plush. The cabin is well isolated from exterior noise, and the solar absorbing glass windows help keep things protected. The upholstery is decent in quality, as are most of the interior trim elements, although it's not hard to miss how much of these are hard-touch materials and gloss plastics. The LT's standard cloth seating can be upgraded to leather-appointed upholstery via the Power Convenience Package, which is standard on the Premier. The seats themselves are suitably comfortable and supportive; however, some extended lumbar support would be appreciated. Though the rear outboard seats are nicely contoured and the armrests soft-padded for comfortable adult occupation, the rear cabin space is limited, even for average-sized adults. The front of the cabin is spacious though, and the ergonomics intuitive and practical; the driving position is optimal with all controls in easy reach and the driver's sightlines clear for good outward visibility.

Seating and Interior Space
The Volt is equipped to seat a total of five passengers - however, with limited overall rear cabin room, only two small adults or three children will find a suitable level of comfort there. The seats throughout the cabin are, nevertheless, well-padded and contoured for decent comfort and support. Head and legroom up front are suitable and the level of steering and seat adjustability sufficient for most physiques to find an optimal driving position. Newly standard in the Premier and available for the LT is a six-way power-adjustable driver's seat, which adds favorably to the Volt's versatility. Getting into and out of the front cabin is easy to live with, but the rear cabin is somewhat trickier due to the sloping roofline and small door openings.

Interior Colors and Materials
Although the Volt's interior exudes a contemporary design and minimalistic styling cues, the materials are only mediocre in quality, yet still, manage to give off a sophisticated impression. The LT's interior can be optioned in either Jet Black or Light/Dark Ash cloth seating with chrome and gloss plastic trim as standard, although $460 will upgrade the interior to feature a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob from vinyl, and adding leather-appointed seat upholstery. The Premier comes standard with the in-cabin leather-appointments and can be featured with either a Jet Black or a combination of Jet Black/Porcelain Blue interior.
2019 Volt Trunk and Cargo Space
With only 10.6 cubic feet of room available in the trunk of the Volt, there's not much offered in the way of practicality, albeit only marginally less than what's offered in the segment as average. That's about enough room to haul along a desktop PC, screen, and everything else you'd need for a good old fashioned LAN session. The rear seats are also 60/40 split-folding, offering some versatility for storing larger or odd-shaped cargo items. The liftback design of the Volt also benefits practicality by means of presenting a massive trunk opening for easy loading.
In-cabin storage solutions are plentiful in the Volt, with wide door pockets fitted on every door, seatback map pockets behind both front seats, dual cupholders up front and in the rear, a small storage tray in the front center console, a compartmentalized center armrest cubby, and an average-sized glovebox.
