2017 Chevrolet Sonic Premier

The Sonic is Chevrolet's subcompact, offered as a sedan or hatchback for city driving and easy parking. It's nimble and eager in town, with light steering that makes darting through traffic feel effortless. The cabin is snug for taller folks, but the hatchback's folding rear seats give you flexible cargo space. MyLink brings a touchscreen, Bluetooth, and smartphone connectivity to a car that's easy on the wallet. The Premier is the top trim, adding niceties like a leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated front seats, and a sunroof that the LT leaves out. Its 1.4L I4 makes 138 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic and front-wheel drive, which feels peppy around town and returns 30 mpg combined.
