Chevrolet Sonic Discount Cuts Price By $2,000 In September 2019

September 11, 2019 10:12 am

Chevrolet Sonic sales decreased 12 percent to 4,024 units in the second quarter of 2019, sinking the subcompact model to last place in its competitive set by volume and demonstrating the Bow Tie brand’s weakness in the space. While the Bow Tie brand has announced that it will discontinue the Sonic in Canada and has already done so in Mexico and Korea, the Sonic continues being available for the United States. And now, a Chevrolet Sonic discount takes $2,000 off 2019 Sonic models during the month of September 2019.

It’s worth noting that a nearly identical incentive was offered in August. Both offers pale in comparison to the 19 percent discount offered in March.

The Incentives

Nationwide Chevrolet Sonic discount offers in September 2019 are applicable to 2019 sedan and hatch models, and are as follows:

2019 Sonic combined financing offer: $250 APR Cash + 0 percent APR (interest-free) for 60 months when financing through GM Financial
2019 Sonic cash allowance: $1,000 customer cash + $1,000 purchase bonus cash = $2,000 total cash allowance

For reference, here are the applicable 2019 Sonic trim levels and their corresponding starting MSRPs:

Sedan
- LS – $16,295
- LT – $18,795
- Premier – $20,895

5-Door (Hatch)
- LT – $18,895
- Premier – $20,895

The $2,000 Chevrolet Sonic discount as it applies to a 2019 Sonic 5-door Premier model with a $20,895 MSRP lowers the starting price to $18,895, making it just as affordable as a 5-door LT model.

About ChevroletÂ Sonic

The ChevroletÂ Sonic is aÂ subcompactÂ family of vehicles that include a four-door sedan and five-door hatchback. HavingÂ replaced the Aveo in the Chevrolet lineup,Â the SonicÂ is currently Chevrolet's second-smallest car, slottingÂ above theÂ Chevrolet SparkÂ city car but below the compactÂ Chevrolet Cruze, midsizeÂ Chevrolet MalibuÂ and full-sizeÂ Chevrolet Impala.

The current model was introduced for theÂ 2012 model year and represents theÂ first generation of theÂ Sonic nameplate. The model rides on theÂ GM Gamma platformÂ shared with theÂ Chevrolet TraxÂ andÂ Buick Encore.

The SonicÂ was given a midcycle refresh for the 2017 model year. The 2018Â ChevyÂ Sonic represents theÂ sixth model year of the first-generationÂ Sonic. The vehicle remains fairlyÂ competitive in its segment and the 2018 model year bringsÂ a handful of changes, including a new exterior color, aÂ change to theÂ Sun and Sound Package, and the standardization of the seven-inch diagonal color touchscreen.

For the 2019 model year, the Sonic gained one new exterior color (while losing two other colors), the removal of the base 1.8LÂ naturally-aspirated Ecotec engine, andÂ several other minor equipment-level changes.

The SonicÂ isÂ assembled at the following plants:

GM Lake Orion plantÂ in Orion Township, Michigan, USA operated byÂ GM USAÂ supplying United States and Canada
GM Bupyeong plant in South KoreaÂ operated by GM KoreaÂ supplyingÂ Korea (previously supplied Holden Barina for Australia and New Zealand)
GM Cairo plant in Egypt operated by GM Egypt (plant idled)
GM Hanoi plant in Vietnam operated by GM Vietnam (plant sold and no longer producing GM models)

AÂ March 2017Â rumor statedÂ thatÂ GM wouldÂ discontinue theÂ SonicÂ as soon as 2018. As of this writing, it'sÂ unclear whether or notÂ the nameplate will see a second generation.Â In November 2018, General Motors announced that it will discontinue the Chevrolet Cruze, along with five otherÂ passengers cars. Though the Sonic was not on that list, the model was discontinued in Canada. The move leavesÂ the United States and South Korea as the only two marketsÂ where the model is currently available.
