2020 Chevrolet Sonic Review

Overview
Apple CarPlay standard; Lots of interior space; Peppy turbocharged engine
Interior trim feels entry-level; Manual gearbox no longer available
The Chevrolet Sonic is a four-door subcompact hatchback and sedan aimed at people who need an inexpensive commuter vehicle. The Sonic was previously known as the Aveo. As of 2012, it became the Sonic for its second generation. The EPA estimates fuel economy of 34 mpg in highway driving. Some rivals offer more standard driver safety technology, but the Sonic has a surprisingly spacious interior and standard Apple CarPlay.
