Performance & Handling
Making its debut during the 2012 model year, the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic comes in two builds-sedan and four-door hatchback-spanning three different trim levels: LS, LT and LTZ. All trims come standard with an ECOTEC 1.8L 4-cylinder with Variable Valve Timing, which offers 138 horsepower and 125 pounds-feet of torque. The Sonic really shines, though, with the LT- and LTZ-available ECOTEC 1.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder with Variable Valve Timing. This turbocharged engine ups available horsepower to 138 and a more-important 148 pound-feet of torque. All trims come standard with a five-speed manual transmission and offer the option of a six-speed automatic transmission, while models outfitted with the turbocharged engine solely offer a six-speed manual transmission. Fuel economy varies: 1.8L engines with automatic transmission offer 25 city / 35 highway MPG, while the turbocharged engine provides an impressive 29 city / 40 highway MPG.
Standard Features & Options
On the exterior, the Sonic offers standard specs including 15" aluminum wheels, body colored accents and black beltline moldings. Looking inside, the spacious-feeling Sonic includes single-zone manual air conditioning, adjustable seats with rear bench 60/40 split for added storage space, sport cloth seat trim, tilt and telescopic steering column with sport steering wheel, manual windows, AM/FM stereo with equalizer, an auxiliary audio input jack, and a Driver Information Center. The LT upgrades to heated side mirrors, chrome beltline moldings, deluxe cloth seat trim, power windows, SiriusXM Satellite Radio with three-month trial, and an AM/FM stereo with CD player (optional on the LS and includes MP3 playback, seek-and-scan, digital clock, auto-tone control, Radio Data System (RDS), equalizer, and auxiliary audio input jack). |
