2020 Chevy Sonic Review

What's New for the 2020 Chevrolet Sonic?

Once known as the Aveo, the Chevrolet Sonic has consistently been a top pick among local small car shoppers for many years. The 2020 Sonic is a first-generation version that shows off a few notable updates. The 6-speed manual transmission has been replaced with a 6-speed automatic transmission for 2020. Another vital improvement to the 2020 Sonic is the introduction of two beautiful exterior color options.

What are the 2020 Chevy Sonic Trims & Features?

There are three trim levels to choose from: the LS, LT and Premier. The LT and Premier are available in sedan and hatchback configurations. The LS Sedan and LT Hatch are now offered with cloth material, a 6-speed auto transmission, a manual climate control system, a sound system, and ten airbags. The Sonic LT Sedan has standard equipment like SiriusXM technology, powered and heated side mirrors, six speakers with a premium sound system, and 15-inch painted alloy wheels. The Premier Hatch and the Premier Sedan add a few extra features to the mix, and these are an upgraded driver's information center, a keyless ignition button, 17-inch wheels, keyless open, and leatherette seating.

Raw Power and Stellar Performance

The 2020 Chevrolet Sonic has been engineered to deliver spirited, spunky performance. Regardless of the body style and trim that you select, your new Sonic will receive 138 horsepower from an EcoTec 1.4-liter turbo engine with an auto transmission. The Sonic's exceptional performance is elevated further by front-wheel drive, hill start assist, rear drum brakes, front disc brakes, 4-wheel ABS, panic brake assist, electronic brakeforce distribution, and electronic traction control.

2020 Sonic Safety Technologies

The 2020 Sonic sits as an entry-level option in Chevy's car lineup, but its safety features extend far beyond essential equipment. For example, in some or all of the trims, the Sonic could be equipped with rear child door locks, advanced airbags, a rear vision camera, LED daytime running lights, a forward collision alert, a LATCH system for child seats, StabiliTrak, an emergency trunk release handle, a tire pressure monitoring system and more.
