2013 Chevrolet Sonic Information in Chicago, IL

Sonic Hatchback was made to be on the move. You can see it in the dynamic lines and aggressive, ready-to-pounce stance. Or feel it with the available ECOTEC® 1.4L turbocharged engine with 6-speed manual transmission, the only turbocharged engine in its class. It's the most fun-to-drive car and offers 40 MPG highway1. You'll feel the difference within seconds, because Sonic offers the most available torque in its class, achieved 0-to-60 mph in 8.2 seconds on the test track, and boasts fine-tuned ride and handling.

Sonic keeps every detail in mind, including you and your passengers' comfort and safety—it's the first and only car in its class18 with 10 standard air bags2 and comes with the support of OnStar®3, standard for six months. No wonder it's also a 2011 Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). There's also flexible cargo space in the back so you can find the right configuration for just about anything.

Stay connected while you're out and about. Bluetooth® wireless technology4 allows you to stream your favorite audio services on select smartphones, and connect to your Sonic through mobile apps5. It's the power of Sonic in the palm of your hand.

Sonic wants to go for a ride. Are you game?
