As part of the “Chevy Employee Discount for Everyone” holiday savings spree, a new Chevrolet Sonic discount lowers the price of select 2019 and 2020 models by over $4,000 in December 2019. While it may not seem like a large sum, the new incentive is about as generous as last month’s 20-percent discount offer.
The Incentives
Nationwide Chevrolet Sonic discount offers in December 2019 include employee discounts for everyone. To illustrate the potential savings, Chevy provides the following examples:
- 2019 Sonic Premier: $3,000 total cash allowance + $1,354 employee discount = $4,354 total discount
- 2020 Sonic Premier: $2,750 total cash allowance + $1,354 employee discount = $4,104 total discount
The price of the Sonic Premier model referenced in the above examples is $22,790 for both the 2019 and 2020 model years. As such, when the headline-making Chevrolet Sonic discount is applied, the price falls to $18,436 for the 2019 model, and $18,686 for the 2020 model.
For reference, here are the applicable 2019 and 2020 Sonic trim levels and their corresponding starting MSRPs, which include the $875 destination freight charge (note that pricing has remained the same for 2020):
- Sedan
- LS – $16,295
- LT – $18,795
- Premier – $20,895
- 5-Door (Hatch)
- LT – $18,895
- Premier – $20,895

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.
