TrueDelta Reviews the Powertrain of the 2014 Chevrolet Sonic

2014 Chevrolet Sonic Powertrain: Pros
YearComment
2013 The character of the Sonic RS's powertrain, unchanged aside from shorter gearing, suits that of its chassis. Long on competence, a bit short on thrills. Boosted by a turbocharger, the small four-cylinder engine possesses the plump midrange so clearly absent from all current competitors, including the Hyundai. For accessible grunt, nothing else in the segment comes close. Peak torque, 148 pound-feet, arrives at just 2,500 rpm (and at 1,850 with the automatic) vs. 123 at 4,850 in the Hyundai. But if you enjoy winding an engine out, well, there's no point in the Sonic. It's not that kind of engine. Owing to the tiny, lag-reducing size of the turbo, the 1.4 runs out of breath early, peaking at just 4,900 rpm (vs. 6,300 with the Accent's 1.6). A shame, as the shifter is more pleasant to operate than the crunchy, balky unit in the Hyundai. Ford is taking a different approach with the upcoming 2014 Fiesta ST, which will be powered by a 197-horsepower turbocharged 1.6-liter engine. Both Chevrolet and Hyundai have similar engines in their arsenals. If the Fiesta ST sells well, perhaps they'll offer these engines in the Sonic and Accent. see full Chevrolet Sonic review
