2014 Chevrolet Sonic

For 2014, the Chevrolet Sonic adds available advanced crash-avoidance technologies and enjoys the first full model year of enhanced connectivity, including access to Siri Eyes Free voice recognition (for customers with compatible iPhones), BringGo in-dash navigation and TuneIn global radio.

A new, advanced safety package including Forward Collision Alert and Lane Departure Warning -- crash-avoidance technologies typically found on cars costing more -- is available on all but base Sonic models, as well as a rear vision camera.

Ten standard airbags and Bluetooth phone connectivity across the Sonic lineup, as well as standard remote vehicle start on automatic transmission-equipped LT, LTZ and RS models, further enhance Sonic's value.

Sonic is the first and only car in its class to receive a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score for safety from the National Highway Traffic Administration, and was named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

Customers can choose between two body styles: a four-door sedan and a five-door hatchback in LS, LT, LTZ and RS (five-door hatchback only) models.

From every angle, Sonic conveys sportiness, strength, stability and refinement. Performance-themed design elements include its wheels-at-the-corners proportions, fender flares and motorcycle-inspired round headlamps.

Sonic's cabin complements its motorcycle-inspired exterior with a detailed instrument cluster featuring a large, round analog tachometer set within an asymmetrical LCD readout, with a large digital speedometer display.

The 2014 Sonic has an available turbocharged engine. When paired with the six-speed manual transmission it produces 138 horsepower and 148 lb.-ft. of torque.

Sonic's standard engine, the Ecotec 1.8L engine, is rated at 138 horsepower along with 125 lb.-ft. of torque.
