News: Chevrolet Sonic in Malaysia


Front end seems to shout at you
For those of you still fretting over the choice of cars in the B segment, there's a new car coming to make it all the more harder for you. The Chevrolet Sonic. According to Chevrolet Malaysia, this car will arrive at our shores at the end of this year and since this car is currently assembled in Thailand, I'm pretty sure that the information wasn't gibberish.

Pretty good looking aye?
You get dual tone interior choices too. I hope the piano black plastics do end up in the Sonic too.
With its cartoonish name aside, this newcomer seems like the real deal. Its predecessor, the Aveo was a total let down with cheap interior and an average looking exterior. The Sonic though isn't that. Instead, it is anything but boring. The front end looks aggressive and the interior looks interesting with an upmarket feel. Notice the gauges in the car. Funky ay?

Ricers be ready
You only get an engine choice, the 1.4 Ecotec with 100 hp and 130 Nm of torque but you can pair it with a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic. I do hope both the hatchback and sedan version make it here in Malaysia but who knows? *fingers crossed* Still, the Preve is very tempting, isn't it?
