2013 Chevrolet Sonic RS


The new Chevrolet Sonic RS amplifies the Sonic's youthful style and driving experience with unique exterior and interior features matched with a 138-horsepower (103 kW) Ecotec 1.4L turbo engine. Sonic is the only vehicle in its segment to offer a turbocharged powertrain. It goes on sale in late 2012, after making its public debut at the North American International Auto Show Jan. 14-22.

"The new Chevrolet Sonic RS pushes Chevrolet's performance heritage in a new direction, for a new generation of drivers," said Chris Perry, vice president of Global Chevrolet Marketing. "It takes the Sonic's great design and latest connectivity features and combines them with a more performance-oriented look and feel."

The Sonic RS is offered exclusively in the five-door body style. Chevrolet's exclusive MyLink infotainment system is standard. It enables navigation directions downloaded through a smart phone to be shown on the radio's large display, and offers the personalized connectivity of Pandora and Stitcher Internet radio.

Sonic RS exterior features:

* New front fascia with new fog lamp design
* New RS-specific grille
* New rear fascia
* New rear spoiler
* New rocker moldings
* Unique mirror cap finish
* Retuned sport exhaust with chrome outlet
* Unique 17-inch five-spoke wheel design
* Lowered and stiffened suspension with performance-tuned dampers
* RS badging.

The more-aggressive look of the Sonic RS is inspired by the concept that debuted in Detroit in 2010. The Sonic RS will be available in Victory Red, Summit White, Cyber Gray Metallic and Black Granite Metallic, which is a new exterior color for the 2013 Sonic.

"The Sonic RS remains true to the progressive spirit of the concept and brings an unmistakable attitude to the segment," said John Mack, design director for the Sonic. "From every angle and every touch point, it is a car that is unabashed in its performance statement - and one that drives Chevrolet's performance legacy into its second century."

One of the most-dramatic cues from the concept carried into the production model is the Sonic RS's front fascia, which has a deep air dam design that enhances the car's road-hugging stance. Vertical intakes at the edges of the fascia reinforce the wide, low proportion and house the fog lamps.
