Where is Chevy Sonic manufactured?
The Chevrolet Sonic is manufactured primarily at GM’s Orion Assembly plant in Orion Township, Michigan, for the North American market.
Beyond the United States, the Sonic lineage traces back to the Daewoo Kalos design, which GM Daewoo built in South Korea. Production for other regions has varied over the years as GM reorganized its global manufacturing network. In short, U.S.-bound Sonics have traditionally come off the line in Michigan, while the broader Kalos/Sonic family has origins and production ties in Korea and other GM facilities depending on market and model year.
