DETROIT – Edmunds.com and Parents magazine say the Chevrolet Cruze Eco and Sonic are
two of the Best Family Cars for 2012. Both the Cruze Eco and Sonic deliver fuel economy of 40
mpg or more on the highway and offer consumers the comfort, safety and advanced technology
they expect at a value.

“With every new Chevrolet, we are able to deliver the technology and powertrain solutions that
offer consumers the best fuel economy, performance and safety, making vehicles like the Sonic
and Cruze Eco ideal choices for families,” said Chris Perry, vice president, Chevrolet Global
Marketing.

“The Cruze Eco and Sonic are the best small Chevys ever built,” said Scott Oldham,
Edmunds.com editor-in-chief. “They are fun to drive, attractive, well-built and extremely fuel
efficient, making them excellent choices for anyone shopping for a compact of subcompact car.”
Said Dana Points Parents editor-in-chief: “At Parents, we know that buying a new car is a big
family decision, so we want our guide to make the process easier. The Cruze Eco and the Sonic
scored high safety marks, and parents using the vehicles were impressed with the
responsiveness and the family friendly features.”

The Cruze – Chevrolet’s best-selling car around the world – provides the amenities, quietness,
safety features, infotainment and roominess expected of a larger, more expensive sedan, but
with the efficiency of a compact car. The first car in its class with 10 standard air bags, the
Cruze received an overall five-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, the highest score possible. The Cruze is available in LS, LT and LTZ trim levels,
as well as the Eco model that achieves an EPA-estimated 42 mpg highway.

Cruze Eco achieves its hybrid-like highway fuel economy using a 1.4L Ecotec turbocharged
engine, six-speed manual transmission and features that improve its aerodynamics, minimize
weight and reduce rolling resistance.

Sonic is proving to be a popular choice among consumers with sales steadily rising to place it
among the leaders in the subcompact segment. It delivers an EPA-estimated 40 mpg highway
with class-leading acceleration when paired with the 1.4L Turbo and six-speed manual
transmission. The Sonic is offered in two body styles: a four-door sedan and a five-door
hatchback. Each is designed to deliver outstanding rear-seat roominess and cargo space.

Sonic, the only subcompact built in the United States, is produced at the General Motors Orion
Assembly Center in Michigan, which received a $545-million investment in upgrades and
retooling and helped restore approximately 1,000 jobs in the Detroit area.
