Chevy Sonic Pricing

[Sonic-Mike]

What is your expected purchase price for the Chevy Sonic - Hatchback and Sedan?

How much are you willing to pay before it becomes too expensive?

How many model levels do you expect to see?

 

[MaxRPM]

I would like to see the car for starting around $15,000. I couldn't see a fully loaded one selling for anymore than $25,000.

Probably will see 3 models for each version - hatch and sedan. Your base, a mid level and then a high end.

 

[SonicBoom]

If I could walk away with a fully loaded Sonic for 23,000 I would be very happy.

 

[ChevyNut]

I think Chevy must be VERY careful with pricing when it comes to such a small car. This is evolving from the Aveo which is Chevy's cheapest car.
Give me a fully loaded one for 18,000 and a base for 14,500 and I am a buyer and many others would be too.

 

[Spincycle]

Would I be crazy to want to have this car for 16500 ?!

 

[canteen green]

I agree with ChevyNut 18000 for everything and i'm sold. If it's any where near 23,000 i'm getting a Mazda 3 speed (bad car) but i'd much rather give my $ to chevy

Why do you choose the Mazda 3? ... just curious

I've got a wife two kids and a dog. 4 door hatch is a must as we go everywhere together. journey is the vaca car. You can walk into any mazda dealer and get a 3 speed for 23500. It has more hp and torque then the rest of the 4 door hatch turbos on the market for less money. It's got 260 hp and 280 ft torque.

WOW! Never really have looked into or heard much about the Mazda 3 but that is very impressive numbers for the price tag. Not sure I would ever go Mazda as I'm not a huge fan on the looks. Sometimes you have to just rate reliability and the drive though.

Price tag - $16000, not sure Chevy will dare go much higher.

 

[Roadkill21]

Around the $15,000 to $17,000 USD mark seems to make the most sense to me.

 

[OverDrive]

I think we will see a big price range for this car just due to some of the options that can be loaded on. $14,995 USD at the low end, $21,995 for the top of the scale.

The economy is in the tank. Imports have been around with an established name and reasonable prices. Hyundai keeps everything in check.
It would be a huge mistake for Chevy to price themselves out of the market. They need to get the name"Sonic"out and flood the market with a good car. The Fit is everywhere you look . Chevy could not compete with the Aveo . That is why they are having a name change. If they are past $15000.00 they will be saying BYBY in a few years with the competition. I hope they are listening.
Can't wait for the SONIC BOOM!

 

[Sonic Ray]

I want the six speed manual turbo model. I don't expect to purchase any electronic extras only what is base for that model. I don't expect to pay more than 16,500. They should have an automatic base and premium same as base manual and premium. It should not be much more for a manual turbo base compared to a 2011 aveo loaded.

Hey, can anybody help me with choosing the right chevy dealer? I am still looking to get a good deal and don't know which to choose... Right now I am still looking at Roadmaster Auto Sales, and I don't know if his car prices are reasonable? I mean - for sure they are, but maybe I can get it cheaper?
Is it worth visiting a dealer, or maybe it is better to look on craigslist or something similar?
Thanks

To bad they have priced themselves OUT! This car will fall by the wayside in a few years like many other half baked ideas by GM. Don't get me wrong I own 5 vehicles all AMERICAN. But I am now starting to look at the Fiesta.
Yes the Sonic is made right here in America and that's probably why it's thousands more then the competition. The fit, Yaris and Hyundai have nothing to worry about. Too Bad for GM on pricing. Maybe they will wake up and smell the roses that could have been.

You're kidding, right? The Fiesta starts at $500, and that's with no power locks, no keyless entry, and hubcaps. Factor all that in and the Sonic is actually slightly cheaper. And the Fit and Yaris are definitely more expensive. I smell a troll.

For what the Sonic is, what it is priced at, and how may features it has it truly is one heck of a car. Can't wait to get behind the wheel and drive one.

The Fiesta is a proven car! The Fiesta gets better gas MPGs. The Sonic has fallen short on price and MPGs. Don't see how that's trolling by telling the truth. I know sometimes the truth is painful and I smell a troll in YOU!! Do you work for Chevy? By the way I have owned almost every Chevy of any value since 1949!

Nice 7 month old thread bump.

Also, this thread was speculation when it was posted, but now we know the answer, so it has run its course. If you want to talk about comparing the Sonic to other cars, use one of the existing comparison threads.
