The Sonic is all-new nameplate in the U.S.A. for 2012, replacing the Chevy Aveo. Designed for the young in body and the young at heart, its sharp good looks and carefree nature have made it a hit with public and press alike. Its success is well-deserved thanks to its fuel efficiency, perky performance and lavish interior.
The Chevy Sonic offers a base 1.8-liter inline four-cylinder engine capable of 35 mpg, and an optional 1.4-liter turbocharged inline-4 with 23 extra lb-ft of twist and a stellar 40 mpg EPA-estimated highway rating. Thus equipped, the FWD Sonic swiftly speeds to 60 mph in just 8.8 seconds. Expert drivers are impressed with the Sonic’s engineering legerdemain, offering the efficiency of a compact car with the spicy flavor of a rally racer.
The all-new Sonic has not only fared well driving on a track, but crashing on it as well. Outfitted with a whopping 10 airbags, OnStar and other standard safety features, the 2012 Chevy Sonic gained a prestigious IIHS “Top Safety Pick” recommendation for its class.
Despite its categorization as a compact car, the five-passenger Sonic sedan offers accommodations worthy of a midsize label. It has a spacious 14-cubic foot trunk and some of the roomiest rear dwellings in its class. The cavernous and stylish interior is well-appointed, with standard equipment distributed throughout three trims: LS, LT and LTZ. The LTZ includes everything from heated front seats and Bluetooth to satellite radio.
