2017 Chevrolet Sonic Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 2017 Chevrolet Sonic leads with the turbocharged 1.4L DOHC inline-four of 83 cubic inches and adds the naturally aspirated 1.6L of 98 cubic inches and the 1.8L of 110 cubic inches on flex fuel or gasoline. Hatchback and sedan bodies are both covered, in LS, LT and Premier trim.
