About the Sonic Sedan (US) 1.4 100

The 2012 Chevrolet Sonic Sedan (US) 1.4 100 is a front-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,098 kg with 101 bhp, which works out at 92 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.91 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 12,160th quickest to 60 mph, and the 174th quickest of the 199 Chevrolets here. Its 74.9 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Chevrolet Sonic Sedan (US) 1.4 100 0-60 time?
The Chevrolet Sonic Sedan (US) 1.4 100 reaches 60 mph in 11.40 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 12,160th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Chevrolet Sonic Sedan (US) 1.4 100 quarter mile time?
18.35 s at 74.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.78 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.91 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Chevrolet Sonic Sedan (US) 1.4 100 have?
101 bhp and 1,098 kg, which is 92 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 177 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Chevrolet Sonic Sedan (US) 1.4 100?
Closest here on pace: Qoros 3 Sedan 1.6 126 (11.39 s), Saab 9-5 SportCombi 2.0 150 (11.34 s), Saab 9-5 SportCombi 2.0 T 150 (11.41 s). Each one can be raced against the Chevrolet Sonic Sedan (US) 1.4 100 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Chevrolet Sonic Sedan (US) 1.4 100 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
