THE 2014 SONIC ENHANCEMENTS: 2014 CHEVROLET SONIC ENHANCES SUBCOMPACT SAFETY: Chevrolet just announced that the 2014 Sonic is available with even more advanced-safety features, including a rear-vision camera, Forward Collision Alert, and Lane Departure Warning. When activated, Forward Collision Alert warns drivers if they are approaching a vehicle too quickly. Lane Departure Warning gives an alert when the vehicle veers from a marked roadway lane. The rear-vision camera, enabled by the Chevrolet MyLink’s 7-inch digital touch-screen, helps give drivers a clearer view of stationary objects behind the vehicle. In MyLinkequipped Sonics, owners can press a button mounted on the steering wheel to initiate a voice command when a smartphone is paired. In Siri Eyes Free mode, the button allows sessions with Siri to begin and end without the phone’s screen lighting up, helping to minimize distractions. Sonic is the first and only car in its class to receive a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score in the New Car Assessment Program administered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The 2013 model was named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Sonic was the first subcompact to have 10 standard airbags. Sonic is one of Chevrolet’s best-selling vehicles among buyers under 35.
