Why Commuters Love the 2020 Chevy Sonic

Sporty Look 

The entry-level Sonic has 15-inch steel wheels, and the LT adds 17-inch painted alloy wheels. This mid-level trim also has heated and power-adjustable side door mirrors. Stepping up to the Premier adds 17-inch alloy wheels and a sporty rear deck spoiler.

Fuel-Efficient Powertrain

The Sonic gets its strength from a 1.4-liter turbo four-cylinder engine that produces 138 horsepower and pairs with front-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic transmission. The four-cylinder has plenty of power to quickly get you up to cruising speed on the highway, and it easily passes slower vehicles as you zip down the road to work. The Sonic is quick and responsive, with handling that helps you feel confident when driving in traffic.

Superior Technology 

Even the base Sonic comes with lots of tech features to keep you connected and informed while you drive to work. A 7-inch touch-screen display sits in the dash and works with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You also get Bluetooth, a Wi-Fi hot spot, and the updated Chevy Infotainment 3 system that you can operate using voice commands. Sirius radio and cruise control come in the LT trim and above. If you opt for the LT Convenience Package, you’ll gain keyless entry and start.

Comfortable Cabin 

Your ride to work will be comfortable at any time of year with standard air conditioning in all models. The Premier has all the creature comforts, including heated front seats, a six-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, a heated steering wheel, and leatherette upholstery. In the back, the sedan has 14.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, and the hatchback has 19 cubic feet. Fold the seats down in the hatchback, and you get more than 47 cubic feet of cargo space.

Unsurpassed Safety 

Drivers feel safe in the Sonic, thanks to its five-star overall crash test rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It comes standard with a rearview camera, stability control, anti-lock brakes, and 10 air bags, more than other vehicles in its class. The Sonic also has crash-collapsible pedals to help protect the driver’s feet and legs in the case of an accident. If you choose to add Chevy’s Driver Confidence Package, you’ll get rear park assist, a forward-collision alert, and lane-departure warning. The 2020 Chevy Sonic is fuel-efficient, fun to drive, and has an easy-to-use infotainment system, making it the perfect commuter car. Image courtesy of chevrolet.com
