The 2015 Chevrolet Sonic was introduced as the successor to the Aveo, available in both sedan and hatchback body styles, both of which boasted an attractive design.
Drawing inspiration from motorcycle design, the Sonic’s aesthetic was particularly evident in its headlight design and the interior center console.
Despite its budget-friendly positioning, the Sonic delivered commendable performance, featuring efficient fuel consumption and a 6-speed automatic transmission. The well-insulated cabin provided a comfortable experience for long journeys.
Safety was a major highlight, as the Sonic received a perfect 5-star rating from the National Highway Safety Administration. Standard safety features included blind-spot mirrors, an optional collision avoidance system, and an impressive array of ten airbags.
A range of optional features was available, such as keyless entry, a 7-inch color touchscreen infotainment system, voice recognition technology, 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities, and Bluetooth connectivity.
Priced starting at $14,000, the Sonic offered excellent value for money, positioning itself as an affordable sporty sedan. Power options included a base 1.8-liter engine producing 138 horsepower or a more efficient 1.4-liter turbocharged engine.
For those seeking enhanced performance, Chevrolet introduced the Sonic RS variant, exclusively available as a hatchback. This sportier version came with a lowered suspension setup, a redesigned exhaust system, a stylish flat-bottom steering wheel, and sport seats to elevate the driving experience.
