Chevrolet Sonic
Much like the previously mentioned Chevrolet cars, the Chevrolet Sonic is a prime pick when it comes to overall driving comfort. Since Chevrolet is a company famous for its love of innovative interior technology, it is no wonder that the 2017 Chevrolet Sonic comes with the best possible luxury a driver can get out of a fairly cheap subcompact. The technologies included with this car are the following: new impressive styling, rear fascia, LED daytime lamps, power driver’s seat, heated cloth seats, seven-inch screen infotainment system, heated steering wheel, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, 4G LTE connection and WiFi hotspot.
The Chevrolet Sonic sports a rather race-ish design that’s been improving over the last couple of years, especially in 2017. It was originally a replacement for the Chevrolet Aveo, but now it’s a trademark of its own. The two variants of the Sonic are either a 5-door hatchback or a 4-door sedan. The hatchback version was greatly improved in terms of design, as it now features various angle adjustments and the hidden back-door handles. It seems that Chevrolet went for a sport-looking family car with the hatchback Focus, and what they’ve achieved makes an ordinary everyday vehicle look more than what it is. The sedan kept its old rear door style and got a longer roof and a larger trunk. Since the styling of the sedan didn’t go as well as that of the hatchback, Chevrolet sells a lot more of the latter kind.
The primary engine of the Chevrolet Sonic is a gravelly 1.8-litre inline four-cylinder. While the initial cost of the vehicle is reduced if this engine is part of the bargain, we still recommend opting for a better variant, such as the 1.4-litre turbocharged 6-speed automatic gearbox engine. Although there’s less fuel capacity, the second engine was made to be extremely efficient, and it thus reduces the overall consumption, which allows for better mileage. Both of these engines reach up to 138 horsepower and feature the same gearbox. There are, however, possible variations when it comes to both of these engines, as the 1.8l comes with a 5-speed manual and the turbocharged 1.4l features the 6-speed manual option.
With 25 mpg in the city and 33 on the highway, as well as a 5-star NHTSA safety rating, the Chevrolet Sonic is always a recommended pick. When its virtues are coupled with its initial and spare part affordability, we simply can’t give you a reason not to go ahead and purchase it.
