2016 Chevrolet Sonic Trims

The base trim of the 2016 Chevy Sonic is designed to accommodate a diverse range of driving needs:

• Phenomenal Powertrains: The 2016 Sonic LS comes equipped with a ECOTEC® 1.8L 4-cylinder engine capable of 138 hp and 125 lb.-ft. of torque, as well as the choice of either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission system.

• Prolific Fuel Efficiency: Properly equipped, the 2016 Sonic LS earns an EPA-estimated 26 mpg/city and 35 mpg/highway. Combined with a 12.2 gallon fuel tank, this year’s LS can take you anywhere without breaking the bank at the gas pump.

• Prodigious Cargo Space: Inside the cabin, the LS trim offers a maximum of 47.7 cubic feet of cargo space with collapsed rear row seating. With front legroom estimated at 41.8 inches and 34.6 inches in the rear, you’ve got more than enough space to stretch and recline with ease.

The LT is the next step up, and it improves the previous trim’s features at just a modest increase in price:

• Upgraded Engine Power: The LT and the LTZ step up their respective powertrain capacities with an optional 1.4L Turbocharged I4 engine capable of dispensing up to 138 hp and 148 lb.-ft of torque, when mated with either a 6-speed automatic or 6-speed manual transmission.

• Re-bolstered Entertainment Suite: Both the manual and automatic transmission-outfitted variants of the 2016 Chevy Sonic LT are equipped with the Chevrolet MyLink Radio which includes standard AM/FM stereo, Bluetooth audio streaming, and voice-command phone integration.

• Power Features: Drivers of the Sonic LT trim enjoy upgrades like power windows with driver Express-Up and Down, as well as heated power-adjustable body-color mirrors.

The 2016 Chevy Sonic’s penultimate trim variant is the LTZ, which includes the features present on the above trims while adding more like:

• Rear Vision Camera System: The 2016 Chevy Sonic’s Rearview Vision Camera System sends a real-time reverse-activated video feed directly to the 7-inch color touch-screen of your Chevrolet MyLink dashboard system.

• Integrated Wi-Fi Hotspot: The 2016 Chevy Sonic LTZ features newly-added 4G LTE Connectivity functionality, transforming this tier of the 2016 Sonic into an in-car mobile hotspot offered through the available OnStar Roadside Assist and Navigation Assist Package.

• “Dusk” Package: For drivers looking for a classier vibe, the 2016 Chevy Sonic LTZ is offered with the choice of a premium luxury package which includes 18-inch wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, unique exterior accents, and optional leather and/or simulated suede upholstery.

The 2016 Sonic’s highest-level trim, the RS, encapsulates all that sets the Sonic apart from its competitors, upgrading its features to include:

• Sport-tuned Suspension: Optimized for superb handling in situations that range from 180-degree turns and sloping terrain elevation, to exquisitely precise brake-stoppage.

• Leather-appointed Interior: With leather-appointed seating and a leather-wrapped steering wheel, your Sonic RS looks just as good on the inside as it feels.

• Piano Black Accents: Thanks to elegant exterior accents decorated in a lusciously smooth tint of obsidian coating, the 2016 Chevrolet Sonic RS makes a bold statement through its presence alone.
