The all new 2012 Chevy Sonic Sedan brings more styling and value to the compact car market than the competition. The Sonic has a snappy exterior appearance with a bold interior design that entices drivers to get behind the wheel. Combine that with up to 40 MPG on the highway and a starting MSRP under $15,000 and what you get is a winning combination ready to take on the old establishment of boring fuel efficient cars.

2011 saw Chevrolet return to prominence as a builder of quality passenger cars that Americans would want to drive. As the year ended Chevrolet stood at the pinnacle of new passenger car sales outselling all other makes. The Chevy Sonic builds on the momentum generated by the Chevy Cruze and delivers on the goal of providing an American made choice to compete withToyota, Honda and Nissan.

Chevy Sonic Interior

If it has been a few years since you have driven an American made compact car you will notice right away that the Chevy Sonic was designed and built to a higher standard. Every aspect of the interior was carefully thought out and designed to offer comfort, ease of use and excellent fit and finish. One of the first things you will notice when you get behind the wheel is the dual cockpit design with an instrument cluster inspired by a performance motorcycle. No more boring plastic panels in mundane shapes.

Everything is within easy reach and ready to respond to your commands. Options that used to be extras on many compact cars are now standard like remote keyless entry, floor mats, rear window defogger, auxiliary power outlet, anti-theft system, auxiliary audio input jacks, passenger side vanity mirror and air conditioning. You are also protected by ten airbags including driver, passenger, rear body, head curtain side impact airbags for the front and rear.

Chevy Sonic Dash

The Chevy Sonic dash has garnered a lot of attention from the automotive press for its bold motorcycle style instrument panel. The dash sports an aggressive tachometer with large numbers and a big red needle that surges with the press of the accelerator. To the right of the tachometer you have a digital display for fuel, speed, driving range, compass and odometer. Your speed is displayed in the middle in a large, bold display.

The dash is laid out in a way that resembles a dual cockpit setup resembling the cockpit of an airplane. For models equipped with Bluetooth connectivity you have convenient controls on the right side of the steering wheel. The climate controls are conveniently located between the sporty shifter and the audio controls. Of course your Onstar features are integrated into the rear view mirror.

When you slip into the comfortable bucket seats get ready take control of the road and your wallet at the same time. Chevrolet has managed to build a fuel efficient, fun to drive, safe car at a great price.
