We've known this was going to happen for several months, but only now has General Motors officially confirmed that the Chevrolet Sonic subcompact sedan and hatchback is officially being discontinued. At the moment, examples are still rolling off the production line at GM's Orion manufacturing facility in the Detroit, Michigan area, but a company spokesperson has just confirmed with Electrek this will soon change.
"We notified Chevrolet dealers of our plans to end production of the Chevrolet Sonic in October, due to declining demand," the official said. "This action also paves the way for the Orion Township Assembly Plant to prepare for the production of the refreshed Bolt EV and Bolt EUV, which will go into production in 2021. With this shift, it would make Orion an all-EV manufacturing facility, with the ability to build ICE vehicles as needed in the future."
