Today we have choices not available in May 2016 and December 2016. These are the cars we own, 2014 BMW i3-REx and 2017 Prius Prime, so I avoid speculating about something I can't test. No doubt the Volt has fine specifications and meets the requirements of others.
In our case, the BMW i3-REx gave us our first dynamic cruise control and accident avoidance braking. These were so much better than anything we'd had driven before, they became a mandatory requirement. But every BMW repair has a minimum 1-2 day delay to get the parts. So we replaced our Gen-3, 2010 Prius with a 2017 Prius Prime that comes with TSS-P standard.
The cruel irony is I tested a 2016 Prius only to discover the one I wanted, the Level 2 ECO, was the only trim that did not have TSS-P. So I bought the BMW i3-REx for the same price as the Level 3 Prius offered and never looked back.
