What year was the first Chevrolet Sonic LS?

My daughter needs a car. I was looking online and I found a Chevrolet Sonic LS for sale just a few miles from my house. I just want to learn a bit more about it. What was the first year the Chevrolet Sonic LS came out?

With excellent fuel economy and above-average safety ratings, the
Chevrolet Sonic LS
is a great option for a
teen driver
. If you want to save money, buying the inaugural version is definitely a savvy move. The first Chevrolet Sonic LS debuted in 2012 as the entry-level trim.
Even though the Sonic LS was an entry-level trim, it was a step up from the
Chevy Aveo LS
that it replaced. Some of the features of the 2012 Sonic LS included:
  • 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine with 138 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque
  • Five-speed manual transmission
  • 15-inch aluminum wheels
  • Up to 35 mpg
  • Cloth seats
  • Remote keyless entry
  • Air conditioning
The Chevrolet Sonic LS is an affordable option for thrifty drivers. But if your daughter is on a budget, you may want to suggest that she look for car insurance on the
