2027 Chevrolet Bolt Safety & Driver-Assist Technology
The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt offers Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology¶, and it is available on both the LT and the RS. Chevrolet calls the Bolt America’s most affordable vehicle to offer hands-free driving capability, which puts a technology that debuted on six-figure luxury sedans inside a compact EV.
Super Cruise is only part of the story. Every 2027 Bolt arrives with over 20 standard safety and driver assistance features¶, including the six-feature Chevy Safety Assist suite. Below is what comes standard, what has to be ordered, and what it actually costs to put hands-free highway driving in your driveway.
Our team at Buchanan Chevrolet helps EV shoppers in Waynesboro and across south-central Pennsylvania evaluate how these systems behave in everyday driving. Stop by our showroom or call us to see the technology in person.
¶ Driver-assist and safety systems are supplemental aids and are not a substitute for safe, attentive driving. Their effectiveness depends on weather, road, and traffic conditions and other factors. Always obey traffic laws and stay attentive to the road. See your owner’s manual for system details and limitations.
Does the 2027 Chevy Bolt Offer Super Cruise on Both Trims?
Yes. Super Cruise is an available option on the LT and the RS alike. It is not standard on either one, and it is not restricted to the upper trim.
On compatible roads, Super Cruise handles steering, acceleration and braking¶ while helping maintain a selected following distance from the vehicle ahead. It operates on more than 600,000 miles of compatible roads across the United States and Canada, and that network is no longer limited to divided interstates. Pre-mapped non-divided highways and rural corridors are included, which matters more in Franklin and Adams counties than it does in a metro area.
Google Maps integration shows Super Cruise capable routes before you leave and indicates how many minutes of the trip can be driven hands-free.

What Super Cruise Costs to Equip on the 2027 Bolt
The hands-free hardware arrives through the Super Cruise Package, which bundles Super Cruise itself with Driver Attention Assist and Front and Rear Park Assist. The package costs the same on both trims. What differs is the prerequisite equipment each trim needs first.
The RS is the shorter path. It already carries the content the LT has to add, so a single Technology Package unlocks the Super Cruise Package. Choosing the LT means layering on the Evotex Package, the Comfort Package and the Technology Package before the hands-free option becomes available. The practical takeaway for a Bolt shopper: the RS starts higher, but it is the less expensive way to end up with Super Cruise.
| Super Cruise by trim | 2027 Bolt LT | 2027 Bolt RS |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | $28,995 MSRP† | $32,995 MSRP† |
| Super Cruise availability | Available | Available |
| Super Cruise Package price | $3,255 | $3,255 |
| Prerequisite packages required first | Evotex Package, Comfort Package and Technology Package | Technology Package |
| Total added cost to equip Super Cruise | $6,660 | $4,450 |

Chevy Safety Assist: Six Features Standard on Every 2027 Bolt
Chevy Safety Assist¶ is standard across the Bolt lineup. Neither trim pays extra for it, and the six technologies are identical on the LT and the RS.
Automatic Emergency Braking
Works with Forward Collision Alert to help you avoid or reduce the severity of a front-end collision with a detected vehicle ahead. The 2027 Bolt carries Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking as standard equipment.
Forward Collision Alert
Monitors the gap to a detected vehicle ahead and provides visual and audible warnings when a front-end impact appears imminent.
Front Pedestrian Braking
Can help you avoid or reduce the severity of a collision with a pedestrian detected directly ahead at speeds between 5 and 50 mph. On the Bolt, forward detection extends to bicyclists as well.
Following Distance Indicator
Displays the gap time in seconds between your Bolt and the vehicle ahead on the 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center, so you can judge whether you are following too closely.
Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
Provides gentle steering input to guide you back into your lane if you begin drifting across detected lane markings without signaling.
IntelliBeam
Automatically turns the high beams on and off at speeds above 25 mph according to surrounding traffic conditions.
Standard vs. Available Driver-Assist Equipment on the 2027 Bolt
Because the standard equipment is identical across the lineup, trim choice on the 2027 Bolt is a question of styling, interior material and the Super Cruise path, not a question of how much active safety technology you get. Adaptive Cruise Control and Rear Park Assist were optional on the outgoing Bolt EUV and are now included. Note that the HD Rear Vision Camera is standard on every Bolt, while the Rear Camera Mirror in the Technology Package is a separate feature that replaces the conventional mirror image with a camera feed.

| Adaptive Cruise Control | Standard on LT and RS |

How Super Cruise Monitors Driver Attention
Hands-free does not mean eyes-free, and the Bolt enforces that. Super Cruise uses a Driver Attention System¶ built around a camera mounted on top of the steering column and infrared emitters integrated into the steering wheel, which track the driver’s head position. Because the system works with infrared light, it functions in darkness and through most sunglasses.
If the system determines you are not watching the road, it escalates in stages.
| Stage | What the vehicle does | What the driver should do |
|---|---|---|
| First prompt | Steering wheel light bar flashes green | Return your attention to the road ahead |
| Second prompt | Steering wheel light bar flashes red | Take hold of the steering wheel |
| Third prompt | A voice prompt sounds | Take control of the steering immediately |
| No response | The vehicle slows in its lane and brakes to a stop, and an Emergency-Certified OnStar Advisor calls into the vehicle | Take control of the vehicle |
Super Cruise runs on an OnStar data connection that supplies real-time precise positioning and periodic map updates. A new Bolt equipped with Super Cruise includes three years of OnStar One service. After the trial ends, continued hands-free operation requires an eligible OnStar Super Cruise plan, currently $39.99 per month.
