8. Chevrolet Volt

Chevrolet Volt operates slightly differently than other hybrids. Most use a combination of gasoline and electric power but Volt uses two electric motors. The motors provide powerful acceleration and steering, which is quite impressive for a hybrid car running solely on electric power. But once the electric power diminishes, gasoline kicks in and that’s where the efficiency drops. However, driving the vehicle is pleasant with sensitive steering and quick acceleration. Chevrolet Volt also lacks a comfortable seating arrangement and reviewers have constantly complained of its lack of space for passengers. The interiors are stylish but the climate control buttons are oddly-placed and can be activated accidentally. Volt is also deemed as one of safest vehicles by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
