Sonic's available 1.4L turbocharged ECOTEC^® engine makes turbo power affordable. Turbocharging directs substantially more air into each cylinder, enabling it to optimize each combustion cycle. At the same time, an intercooler cools the air entering the engine, allowing for more complete combustion.

Ready to make some noise? The the all-new 2012 Chevrolet Sonic is designed and built for you - and your world. Goodbye run-of-the-mill. Hello to a car that dials up the fun - and your expectations. How? With an attention-grabbing global design and performance that'll also make you stand up and take notice, highlighted by an available highly fuel-efficient 138 horsepower 1.4L turbocharged ECOTEC^® engine. As for the connectivity and sound system technology - let's just say with a name like Sonic, it makes its presence felt loud and clear. With driver control features like the standard StabiliTrack^® system and ABS, plus up to 10 available airbags, Sonic lets you focus on fun by giving you genuine peace of mind. The all-new Sonic Sedan and Sonic 5-Door. Louder is definitely better.

You're not shy about demanding a ton of personality from a new car. Neither were Chevrolet's global team of designers, who collaborated to create a unique style that mixes European flair with distinctive accents like the pronounced circular headlight design. That's not the only way Sonic stands out - by bringing the wheels close to the corners it has a planted stance that exudes confidence. Take Sonic out on the street and you'll recognize how performance turning and nimble handling makes for a more engaging way of zipping around city streets or out on the open road. Sonic's style - it not only strikes a chord, it's a chord that reverberates with it's own dynamic approach to driving.

Sonic has plenty of room for attitude - both yours and its own. But it also leaves room for all the necessities of life you never want to be without. In other words, it isn't just equipped with a good sound system; it also offers the space to bring the musical equipment with you - whatever you need to bring your own music to life. To be specific, Sonic's intelligent use of space creates a trunk capacity of 397L in the Sedan. Sonic 5-Door takes capacities to another level altogether, offering 539L with the rear seats upright and substantial 869L with the rear seats folded down. And you can divide and conquer the space in back, with split-folding rear seatbacks that let you fold down either seat individually, or both together to maximize your loading options. Versatility is created with real imagination in Sonic - because you need your own space.

Sonic taps into your dual nature: fun, yet responsible. It does so by going beyond predictable engineering solutions. The standard 1.8L ECOTEC^® four-cylinder engine generates 138 horsepower, while at the same time it's remarkably fuel efficient, thanks to the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) that optimizes combustion to generate the most power using the least amount of fuel. But here's where things get really interesting. Sonic also offers an available 1.4L turbocharged ECOTEC^® engine that produces the smae amount of horsepower as the base engine but increases the torque, making it much more responsive across a wide range of engine speeds for quicker acceleration and passing. And it's ridiculously fuel efficient - earning a highway fuel consumption rating of just 5.1L / 100km. Sonic - it really zips.
