According to General Motors, the new Chevrolet Sonic fitted with the 1.4-liter turbocharged unit producing 138 horsepower and 200 Nm of torque returns a highway fuel consumption of 5.8 liters/100 km and a city economy of 8.1 liters/100 km.

The four-cylinder engine is available only with a six-speed manual gearbox and we can say that these figures are not bad at all mainly considering we talk about a turbocharged unit which develops more than 100 horses.
