Sonic vs Fiesta

Vs Ford Fiesta

AWARDS & EFFICIENCY

“Most Dependable Small Car” Award – The J.D. Power Dependability Awards are the result of real owners evaluation their 2016 model year vehicles for 177 specific problems over the last 12 months. So when we say that Chevrolet vehicles are dependable, it’s not our words – it’s thousands of yours¹.

The 2020 Chevrolet Sonic is surprisingly fuel efficient, getting an EPA estimated 26² MPGs in the city and 34² MPGs on the highway. After all, the average American drives more than 13,000 miles a year - here's to more driving, and less stopping for gas³.

FEATURES

While they're not as popular in more mild areas, in frigid climates many drivers find heated seats, a standard feature on the 2020 Chevrolet Sonic⁴, quite necessary. If you want heated seats on the 2019 Ford Fiesta⁵, though, you'll have to pay extra for them.

Move forward, back, up, or down with the touch of a button, using the Power Adjustable Seats that come standard on the 2020 Chevrolet Sonic⁴. Power Adjustable Seats aren't standard on the 2019 Ford Fiesta, so be prepared to either pay more, or use that awkward bar under the seat.

No more parallel parking jitters - the optional Rear Parking Aid on the 2020 Chevrolet Sonic⁶ can help guide you into the perfect parking spot, signaling when you're getting too close to the curb, or other cars. Unless you enjoy the parallel parking jitters, in which case, choose the 2019 Ford Fiesta, which doesn't have a rear parking aid option.

SAFETY

If you're driving a 2020 Chevrolet Sonic⁶, and stray from your lane, no worries: the optional Lane Departure Warning System will give you an audio alert, possibly helping avert an accident. If you're driving a 2019 Ford Fiesta, this extra layer of safety isn't even an option.

The 2020 Chevrolet Sonic's² dedication to occupant safety has earned it the NHTSA's coveted 5-star Overall Crash Rating and 5-star Overall Side Crash Rating⁷.

The 2020 Chevrolet Sonic² offers side airbag protection to its rear passengers standard, but that same level of safety isn't even an option on the 2019 Ford Fiesta.

USABILITY

Offering more inches in combined rear head and rear leg room than the 2019 Ford Fiesta⁸, the 2020 Chevrolet Sonic⁹ is roomy enough for even the tallest of your passengers to travel in comfort. Bye-bye cramped "airplane-legs," hello rear passenger comfort.

No matter what you're stowing, from groceries to gardening gear, the 2020 Chevrolet Sonic's² increased storage volume means you'll have more room for all your stuff, from apples to zinnias, and everything in between.

Even an increase of just an inch or two in wheel base can mean more stability, and the 2020 Chevrolet Sonic² has 1 more of those stability-increasing inches.
