2012 Chevrolet Sonic Ride and Handling

At Art Gamblin Motors, your Auburn Chevrolet Dealer, we understand that engine power alone doesn’t make a vehicle great. A good vehicle needs good suspension in order to provide an enjoyable driving experience. The all new Chevrolet Sonic was designed with this fact in mind, which is just one more reason why we here at Art Gamblin Motors are so pleased to present the Sonic. The powerful and efficient ECOTEC engine in the Sonic is perfectly utilized by its expertly tuned suspension. Many of the same team members responsible for the world-class Corvette and Cadillac CTS-V suspension systems tuned the Chevy Sonic themselves; until it met or exceeded all the points of an extensive battery of rigorous benchmarks used to measure European subcompacts. These tests put the Sonic through tight winding roads and bumpy cobble stone streets, just to name a few of the tests that the Sonic easily aced—maintaining a comfortable riding experience throughout.

These expert engineers responsible for tuning the suspension of the Sonic have struck an unbelievable balance between vehicle stiffness, comfort and drivability on one side; with smoothness, comfort and drivability on the other. This has been accomplished through a combination of expert tuning, inspired design and high quality parts. The front of the Chevy Sonic has an independent front suspension with McPherson type struts with coil springs to absorb rough road conditions. The Sonic also has a tubular stabilizer bar that keeps the Sonic flat on the ground during tight turns. Finally, the Chevrolet Sonic’s rear has a semi-independent torsion beam multilink design with gas charge shocks. It is the above combination of expert tuning, design and high quality parts that has given the Sonic its world-class suspension.
 

But don’t take our word for it, or even the word of the expert engineers who designed and build the Chevy Sonic. Come down to Art Gamblin Motors and experience the Sonic’s splendid suspension for yourself with a test drive. You will be welcomed to a pressure free environment by expert sales associates.
