Keep in mind that while shape optimization is the "obvious" path to achieving low drag, the other important part is detail optimization. Two identically shaped vehicles can have drastically different Cd's based on differences in things like: cooling system capacities, wheels/tires, underbody design, trailing edge treatments, side mirror design, wiper location, etc.
All of which makes it hard to predict Cd based on a roof line/profile shot.
That said.... realistically, this will probably be very close to the Volt. Because: with a range-extended EV, efficiency will be an important design goal, and it'll have similar drivetrain/cooling requirements as the Volt.)
