Being a college student means having a lot on your plate. Between classes, a job, and social engagements, the life of a college student can be busy and hectic. To make your busy college schedule less stressful, you need a reliable vehicle that’s not only fun to drive, but also dependable and comfortable. Let’s look at some of the reasons college students love the 2020 Chevy Sonic.
-
Efficient and Powerful
Thanks to its compact size, the Sonic is a fuel-efficient hatchback with nimble, responsive handling. You can get about 26 mpg driving around in the city, and when you take it out on the highway, you’ll enjoy an impressive 34 mpg. Every model comes with a 1.4-liter turbo EcoTec four-cylinder engine that generates 138 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive is standard. An available sport suspension system will give you an even smoother ride and upgrading to the performance exhaust will boost your horsepower and torque.

Up-to-Date Technology
With a schedule full of classes to attend, homework assignments to complete, and friends to stay in touch with, you need to stay connected wherever you go. This is easy when you drive the 2020 Sonic. It’s equipped with a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hot spot, so you can get important emails and scroll through your social media feed from anywhere. Bluetooth capabilities allow you to connect your smartphone to your vehicle’s infotainment system as well as stream audio right to your sound system. A 12-volt power outlet and USB ports ensure your devices stay charged and ready to use.
-
Safe and Secure
It’s important that you always stay alert and aware when you’re behind the wheel, and the Chevy Sonic has several driver-assist features available that help you do just that. A rearview camera gives you a better view of what’s behind you when you’re backing up, while available rear park assist gives you even more guidance to help you avoid hitting objects you can’t see that might be blocking your path. Other available safety features are forward collision alert, lane departure warning, and a tire pressure monitoring system. You’ll also find 10 air bags located throughout the cabin for added safety.

Stylish Design Inside and Out
Although how this car drives and performs is important, how it looks and feels is also something to consider. Its hatchback design means it has a large cargo area. In fact, when you fold down the back seat, you’ll have up to 47.7 cubic feet of space to store your gear. Upper trim levels offer comforts like a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, a leather-wrapped shift knob, keyless open, and leatherette seating surfaces.
Outside, the Sonic has sporty features like heated power outside mirrors, LED daytime running lamps, and 15-, 16-, or 17-inch wheels. These features don’t come standard on all models.
Before you head off to college, you need a new or used car that gives you confidence and peace of mind on the road. If you’re ready to find out how the 2020 Chevy Sonic can fit into your life, come see us at Toliver Brothers today.
