The Sonic is a subcompact car produced by General Motors, under the Chevrolet badge. For the first time, this nameplate appeared five year ago. However, this model is internationally known for much longer time. It is known under Aveo name, and it is present for about fifteen years. Sonic came with the second generation of Aveo, and it is the name which is used for North America, Japan, Mexico, Middle East etc. Those two models shares pretty much the same characteristics and only differ in offer of powertrain, trim levels and similar stuff. When it is about 2017 Chevrolet Sonic, bigger changes are not expected, compared to current model.
