CHEVROLET SONIC FAMILY ADDS NEW RS MODEL AND CONNECTIVITY
Since its introduction in late 2011, the Chevrolet Sonic – the only subcompact built in
America – has been making a name for itself as a small car with big attitude. For 2013,
an all-new, performance-inspired, Sonic RS five-door hatchback model joins the Sonic
family.
Sonic RS goes into production in the fourth quarter of 2012. (Please see separate
release for details.)
Sonic also adds an available version of Chevrolet's MyLink infotainment system, which
uses owners' smartphones to personalize delivery of music, video, photo galleries,
phone books and other information into the vehicle – including full-function navigation via
an available smartphone app.
