Chevrolet’s Plans for 2012-2014: New Vehicles, Fuel Economy, and Redesigns
The next 30 months are going to be busy for those employed at Chevrolet. The General Motors brand will bring several new products to market, and is slated to redesign almost all of its products between now and 2014. Here’s a rundown of what changes are in store, as predicted by Automotive News and our sources.
Sonic: The Sonic serves as a welcome replacement for the Aveo. Production begins this August, with both a four-door sedan and five-door hatchback on the ordering sheet. The Sonic is far more mature than the Aveo, and is predicted to record up to 87,000 sales annually. Engine choices are the same as in the larger Cruze sedan: a 1.8-liter inline with 138 hp and 125 lb-ft of torque, and a turbocharged 1.4-liter inline-four with 138 hp and 148 lb-ft. The sedan is expected to account for about 60 percent of Sonic sales; Chevrolet hopes the hatchback version will compete with the Honda Fit and Ford Fiesta.
