2027 Chevy Sonic Colors Guide: Full List – Note for U.S. readers: The original Chevrolet Sonic (subcompact car) was discontinued in the U.S. after the 2020 model year. The 2027 Chevrolet Sonic is an all-new subcompact crossover/SUV-coupe developed and produced in Brazil (Gravataí plant) for South American markets including Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia. It is not currently offered or planned for the U.S. market, where Chevrolet already sells the Trax and Trailblazer in the subcompact crossover segment. This guide compiles the exterior color information from official launches and regional sources for enthusiasts and those researching the revived nameplate.
What Is the 2027 Chevrolet Sonic?
The 2027 Sonic is a front-wheel-drive subcompact crossover (often called an “SUV coupe” due to its sloping roofline) built on GM’s GEM (Global Emerging Markets) platform shared with models like the Onix. It measures approximately 4.23 m (166.5 in) long, features a 1.0-liter turbo three-cylinder engine (around 115–116 hp), a 6-speed automatic, and comes in Premier and RS trims. Production began for the 2027 model year, with sales starting in Brazil in May 2026 and expanding regionally.
It debuts Chevrolet’s updated, more horizontal global Bowtie logo and emphasizes style, digital cabin features, and safety tech for emerging-market buyers.
Available Exterior Colors for the 2027 Chevrolet Sonic
Chevrolet offers six exterior colors for the 2027 Sonic. Most are metallic (bicapa metalizado), with Summit White as a solid. Names vary slightly by market/language (Portuguese, Spanish, English translations), but the palette is consistent across Brazil, Argentina, and related launches.
Here is the complete list with common English and original names:
- Summit White (Branco Summit / Blanco Summit / Blanco Cumbre) — Solid white. Often the most accessible or lower-cost option in some trims.
- Shark Silver (Prata Shark / Plata Shark / Sharkskin / Tiburón Plateado / Shark Silver) — Metallic silver.
- Black (Preto Ouro Negro / Negro Oro Negro / Negro Oro / Black) — Dark metallic black (sometimes linked to codes similar to prior Mosaic Black).
- Scarlet Red / Jinx Red (Vermelho Scarlet / Rojo Scarlet / Rojo Escarlata / Jinx Red) — Vibrant metallic red.
- Boreal Blue / Kinda Blue (Azul Boreal / Azul Boreal / Kinda Blue) — Metallic blue.
- Urban Gray (Cinza Urbano / Gris Urbano / Urban Gray) — New metallic gray introduced with this model.
Paint codes reported by refinish specialists (AkzoNobel MIXIT) include examples such as CHE85:5S (Summit White solid), CHE23:GXD (Sharkskin metallic), CHE16:GB8 (Negro Oro Negro metallic), CHE19:GAO (Azul Boreal metallic), CHE21:GFM (Rojo Scarlet metallic), and CHE19:GNO (Gris Urbano metallic).
Color Availability by Trim (Premier vs. RS)
Both Premier (more refined, with some chrome/silver accents) and RS (sportier, with blacked-out details, dual-tone roof on RS, red accents inside) generally have access to the full six-color palette.
In some markets (e.g., Argentina reports), Kinda Blue and Shark Silver may be exclusive or emphasized on the Premier trim. RS models often pair well visually with darker or bolder colors due to the black roof, black roof rails, and darkened exterior elements. Extra-cost premiums can apply to certain colors (e.g., higher fees noted for Scarlet Red or Urban Gray in Brazilian pricing examples).
No dual-tone body colors beyond the RS black roof option are standard in the base launch information.
Popular Color Choices and Visual Tips
- Summit White and Shark Silver offer a clean, versatile look that highlights the modern LED lighting and updated Bowtie.
- Urban Gray (the new addition) and Black provide a contemporary, understated premium appearance suited to urban use.
- Scarlet Red / Jinx Red and Boreal Blue / Kinda Blue stand out for buyers wanting more personality and sportiness, especially on the RS.
Colors interact with the full-LED headlights, distinctive taillight signature, 17-inch alloy wheels, and the coupe-like roofline. Darker shades emphasize the blacked-out RS elements; lighter ones showcase body lines and chrome accents on Premier.
Interior Color Pairings
Interiors are relatively limited and tied to trim:
- Premier typically features Jet Black and Storm Sky gray premium upholstery.
- RS uses predominantly Jet Black with red accents (including seatbelts in some descriptions).
These pair cleanly with all exterior colors.
Is the 2027 Sonic Coming to the USA?
Current reporting indicates no U.S. plans. The model targets South American needs (affordability, local production, emerging-market positioning between Onix-level vehicles and the Tracker). U.S. buyers interested in a small Chevrolet crossover should look at the Trax or Trailblazer instead. The Sonic name revival generates curiosity among fans of the previous generation, which is why color and specification details circulate widely.
Final Thoughts on Choosing a Color
Select based on your priorities: practicality and resale (white/silver/gray), presence (black), or statement (red/blue). Because availability, exact pricing premiums, and any regional exclusive colors can vary, check official Chevrolet dealers or configurators in the relevant South American market for the most up-to-date options and paint samples.
