Euro-Ride and Driver Shift Control

Chevrolet engineers went through hundreds of suspension variations to discover the right blend of handling and response for the new Sonic. The result is an amazing agility and athleticism. The ECOTEC engine delivers 100 horsepower and 130Nm of torque and is mated to a 6-speed Automatic Transmission with Driver Shift Control – putting power and control back into your hands.

Enjoy the adrenaline rush when you push the Sonic to test its limits. The responsive Euro-Ride Tuning Suspension and on-axis design in the Sonic lets you take complete control of the road with agile and precise handling.

At the touch of a button, the driver can activate Driver Shift Control (DSC), a system that takes the Sonic out of its smooth-shifting 6-speed Automatic Transmission and puts it into semi-manual mode – encouraging you to fine-tune each and every gear shift.

Styling and Space

The Sonic Sedan offers 14.9 cubic feet of trunk space – which is more room than you’ll find with other cars in its class. It also gives you unique storage solutions for everything and puts them all within easy reach.

But it’s the manner in which the Sonic presents the roominess and practicality to you that is truly rewarding. Once you step inside, you’re greeted with great and well-thought out design. The unique dual-cockpit design features 2-tone upholstery and an ice-blue instrument cluster featuring digital and analog dials.

Space is used ingeniously as an ingredient of truly good styling and design – the way it should be.

Chevrolet Sonic comes with a comprehensive safety system that includes driver and passenger airbags and a reinforced frame (Body Frame Integral) that is designed to resist bending forces in the event of a collision. For added peace of mind and assurance, the Sonic also comes with an advanced braking system using Electronic Brake-Force Distribution (EBD) to evenly distribute braking force and maintain optimum control based on weight and road condition, and a 4-channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) to prevent the wheels becoming locked when braking suddenly or firmly.
