What Changed
The new Sonic replaces the Aveo in Chevrolet's lineup. Although identical to the next generation Aveo sold worldwide, the US version was renamed Sonic and will be built in America. Compared to the Cruze, the sedan is about 8 inches shorter in length, 6 inches shorter in wheelbase and 2 inches narrower. Like the Cruze, the Sonic is offered with either a 1.8l four-cylinder engine or a turbocharged 1.4l. Both engines have similar output.
