The mass car buyers will always look for a car that will offer them a value based package wrapped in a stylized shape while the cabin will haul people and their luggage without a hitch, and all these coming at a price range that is affordable. The demand is common, but the cars that fulfill all of them aren’t that common to be found. But that doesn’t imply that there’s none. In this perspective, the first model name that should top the search results, is the 2019 Chevrolet Sonic.
The 2019 model year edition of Chevrolet Sonic carries an age, that stands as a solid proof of its reliability and demand in the market. It has now entered its eighth year of survival in the tough market that shows no sympathy for the non-committal vehicle models. At the same time it continues to be one of the best choicesfor those who are looking for an inexpensive vehicle that serves all the purpose of a compact car with its surprising pack of technologies.This subcompact car series is available both as sedan and hatchback models while its lineup spreads wide with varied options of features.
However, the 2019 Chevrolet Sonic came out to be more of a city-friendly vehicle option rather than trying out adventures on off-road terrains. At the Smithfield Chevrolet dealer showroom, we got the opportunity to explore the entire lineup of the 2019 Chevrolet Sonic, and here’s our take on it, in a nutshell.
New for 2019 Model Year Release
For the year 2019, Chevrolet has prepared the entire lineup of Sonic with an additional paint color, which is named as “Shock,” and the trim levels are continued as the LS, LT, and Premier models that are all made available both in sedan and hatchback shapes.
Even with too many rivals crossing its path, the 2019 Chevrolet Sonic doesn’t feel it difficult to catch the viewer’s attention through its recentlyrefreshed visual appeal, newly introduced active safety features in addition to the existing ones, good fuel economy rating approved by the EPA, and the level of comfort assured in every model, climbing higher as you raise the price bar.
Powertrain Choices
Coming to the choice of powertrains, Chevrolet has offered a couple of engine options, that completes the circle of its performance capabilities. There are two capacitive 4-cylinders you get to choose from. Onehas the capacity to hold a 1.8-liter of gas in its naturally aspirated engine while the other comes as a 1.4 liter turbochargedoption. With the turbocharged engine, Chevrolet gives you a 6-speed manual transmission to ensure more driving fun, but the sales team of the Smithfield Chevrolet reported that the majority of buyers go for the 6-speed automatic one.
Driving and Riding
On the road, the 2019 Chevrolet Sonic moves with surprisingly silence, that makes the driver feel at ease, while the passengers can soak in its comfort zone without a jerk. Chevrolet has enhanced the styling accents for the interior of the 2019 Sonic that uses premium materials to make you feel valued with a spacious cargo area gulps in every luggage you throw in.
