Chevrolet Sonic Discount Cuts Price By $2,000 In September 2019
0Sponsored Links
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 Chevrolet Sonic
The Chevrolet Sonic is a subcompact family of vehicles that include a four-door sedan and five-door hatchback. Having replaced the Aveo in the Chevrolet lineup, the Sonic is currently Chevrolet's second-smallest car, slotting above the Chevrolet Spark city car but below the compact Chevrolet Cruze, midsize Chevrolet Malibu and full-size Chevrolet Impala.
The current model was introduced for the 2012 model year and represents the first generation of the Sonic nameplate. The model rides on the GM Gamma platform shared with the Chevrolet Trax and Buick Encore.
The Sonic was given a midcycle refresh for the 2017 model year. The 2018 Chevy Sonic represents the sixth model year of the first-generation Sonic. The vehicle remains fairly competitive in its segment and the 2018 model year brings a handful of changes, including a new exterior color, a change to the 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 1.8L naturally-aspirated Ecotec engine, and several other minor equipment-level changes.
The Sonic is assembled at the following plants:
- GM Lake Orion plant in Orion Township, Michigan, USA operated by GM USA supplying United States and Canada
- GM Bupyeong plant in South Korea operated by GM Korea supplying 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)
A March 2017 rumor stated that GM would discontinue the Sonic as soon as 2018. As of this writing, it's unclear whether or not the nameplate will see a second generation. In November 2018, General Motors announced that it will discontinue the Chevrolet Cruze, along with five other passengers cars. Though the Sonic was not on that list, the model was discontinued in Canada. The move leaves the United States and South Korea as the only two markets where the model is currently available.
