You Thought you Knew GM? Think again.
A few weeks ago some of us had the amazing opportunity to experience the brand new Chevrolet Sonic and Orlando. These two new models will make it tough competition for the rest of the market and provide a stylish, fuel efficient way to travel at an affordable price. |
|
Chevrolet Sonic
The Sonic is a vehicle with no compromises; "you have it all" - price, performance, styling, fuel economy, safety and practicality. This sub-compact car is the smallest car built in the United States and offers sophisticated features at an unbelievable price, which is going to make it a fierce competitor for the small-car market.
The Sonic offers more standard safety equipment than any vehicle in its class. All Sonic models come equipped with 6 airbags (with optional front knee and rear seat side airbags for a total of 10 airbags), Roadside Assistance, four-wheel anti-lock brakes, StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System and Traction Control along with the security and convenience of Onstar's 6-month Directions & Connections package. The Sonic's available 1.4L Turbo is expected to achieve best-in-class acceleration.

It is extremely quiet, has 14 cubic feet of trunk space, and Bluetooth is standard. Your phone can sync to the system and streams wirelessly.Its seats are very comfortable, and has more torque, more HP, better powertrain warranty (5 yr/160,000km), and more legroom than the Ford Fiesta and Hyundai Accent.
AND! CORVETTE Engineers tuned the Sonic's suspension for a YEAR. That alone makes us want to drive it! It's bigger, it's bolder, and the styling is much improved. It comes with an unexpected level of standard equipment so that everyone will have the comforts and amenities they desire.

Chevrolet Orlando
The new Chevrolet Orlando totally reinvents the term "multi-purpose vehicle" and is targeted to be the most fuel efficient 7-passenger vehicle in Canada ideal for families and small business owners. The Orlando is for those who want space, versatility and practicality without giving up style. The best way to describe the size of this vehicle is that it is in between the Pontiac Vibe and the Chevrolet Equinox. It is also not classified as a van! It has four full swing out doors.
The 2nd and 3rd row seats fold flat, offering impressive interior cargo space. The standard audio system includes a CD player, MP3 playback and an auxiliary audio input jack that is located behind the radio! A hidden compartment behind the radio faceplate gives room for storage and keeping valuable items (such as your iPod or phone) out of view.

The Orlando is also loaded with in-depth safety features with Stabilitrak Electronic Stability Control System, ABS & Traction Control. The body is reinforced and has 6 airbags and OnStar also comes standard on all models. It's 2.4L 4 cylinder direct-injected engine is paired with a 6 speed manual or automatic transmission, making it easy to maneouver, fun, and fuel efficient. There are also headrests on every seat, Lower Anchors and Top Tethers for children, and power rear door child security locks.
While no official prices have been released, we do know that pricing starts from $19,995 + tax and additional fees. For more information on the key standard features available in all models and packages available check out the photo in our Facebook album . |
