Pricing on the all-new Chevrolet Sonic to start at $14,495 in Canada
• Offers more safety equipment than any vehicle in its class with up to 10 airbags and the security and convenience of OnStar
• Available 1.4L Turbo expected to achieve best-in-class acceleration and 5.1 L/100km on the highway
Chevrolet introduces the all-new 2012 Sonic to Canada with an MSRP beginning at just $14,495. Sonic comes with the most standard safety equipment in the sub-compact class, including 6 air bags (up to 10 available) and OnStar with Directions and Connections. Bluetooth, power door locks, remote keyless entry and Hill Hold Assist also are standard.
The Sonic delivers 5.1 L/100km highway fuel consumption with class-leading acceleration when paired with the 1.4L Turbo and six-speed manual transmission.
The Sonic is offered in two body styles: a four-door sedan and a five-door hatchback. Each delivers outstanding rear-seat roominess and cargo space.
"The Sonic will further build on the Cruze's success in redefining what people can expect from Chevrolet," said Kevin Williams, president and managing director of General Motors of Canada. "Sonic brings agility and a fun-to-drive feel that is rare in the small car segment, along with an unexpected level of standard equipment so that every customer will have the comforts and amenities they desire."
