The Chevrolet Aveo Sonic is a subcompact car that was produced by General Motors from 2011 to 2017. It was a global model, sold in various markets under different names, including the Chevrolet Aveo, Chevrolet Sonic, and Holden Barina. The 2012 model year marked the introduction of the second generation of the Aveo, which featured a more modern design, improved interior quality, and enhanced safety features. The Sonic's styling was a departure from the previous generation, with a more aggressive and sporty look. The front fascia featured a large, chrome-trimmed grille, swept-back headlights, and a pronounced hood line. The sides were characterized by sculpted lines and a rising beltline, while the rear showcased taillights that stretched across the width of the vehicle. The interior was also redesigned, featuring a more driver-focused layout with a prominent center stack and a more ergonomically designed dashboard.

The 2012 Chevrolet Aveo Sonic was available in both sedan and hatchback body styles, each offering two engine options: a 1.6-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and a 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine. Both engines were paired with a five-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. The Aveo Sonic was equipped with standard safety features like anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, and multiple airbags. Higher trim levels offered additional safety features like rear parking sensors, lane departure warning, and a rearview camera. The vehicle's compact size, fuel-efficient engines, and competitive pricing made it an attractive option for buyers looking for a practical and affordable car. The redesigned Aveo Sonic aimed to provide a more refined and engaging driving experience, with improvements in ride quality, handling, and cabin noise suppression.
