I hardly consider the Volt "superior to the Leaf in almost any way".
It has a claustrophobic cramped interior, shallow trunk, poor visibility, low ceiling. Less than half the electric range while still at a much higher price. Center console is a buggy usability nightmare (Leaf isn't that great either but not as bad). Also the beating when back windows are open is horrendous in the Volt. The Volt has the measly 3.3kw charger and no quick charge option. Its impressive because it has a gas engine which contradicts the whole reason for getting a BEV. Its a compromise in many ways. I like the Cruze. The Volt, built on the Cruze platform, has less space, less trunk space, worse gas mileage while costing a ton more.
What hump? The Leaf's charger was moved in the 2013 to be under the hood in case thats the hump being referenced.
Uh, right. And I've got a 2013 Leaf SL. The charger hump is gone. Now the rear shock tunnels and Bose subwoofer are in the way. Sheesh.
