The 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt is an affordable small car, which can be priced at just over $ 15,000. Like most affordable small cars, the vehicle’s engine options are limited and lacking in a high-performance option. The 2010 car comes standard with a 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine that produces just over 140 horsepower. While the Cobalt comes with a small engine, many reviews point out that its acceleration is better than comparable cars. The car may come with a supercharged engine that increases acceleration and power.
The vehicle comes standard with a five-speed manual transmission, but can be upgraded to a four-speed electronic automatic transmission. While the car does not have a high-performance engine, its fuel efficiency is very economical. The 2010 vehicle with a manual transmission gets 22 miles per gallon in the city and 30 miles per gallon on the highway. When upgrading to an automatic transmission, fuel efficiency increases to 24 miles per gallon in the city and 33 miles per gallon on the highway. If the car owner opts for a turbocharged engine, fuel efficiency can decrease by as much as 20%.
The car can come in nine different finishes in total. Five of the vehicle’s models come as a two-door coupe and are the base coupe, LS coupe, 1LT coupe, 2LT coupe, and the Turbocharged SS. The other five models are four-door sedans and are basic sedan, LS sedan, 1LT sedan, and 2LT sedan.
The 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt uses the same engine the car has used since it was modified in 2007. The engine was modified to allow for better fuel efficiency.
