2009 Chevrolet Cobalt
The 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt gets more standard horsepower and a few new features. Chevy's compact car comes as a 2-door coupe or 4-door sedan in LS, LT, and high-performance SS trims. The SS sedan is new for 2009. LS and LT have a 155-hp 2.2-liter 4-cylinder engine, an increase of 7 hp from 2008. The Sport model with its 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine has been discontinued. The SS has a turbocharged 260-hp 2.0-liter 4-cylinder. All Cobalts have a standard 5-speed manual transmission. Non-SS Cobalts with that transmission and 15-inch tires are called "XFE," which stands for "Xtra Fuel Economy." XFE versions have low-rolling-resistance tires and other drivetrain tweaks designed to increase fuel economy. A 4-speed automatic is available on the LS and LT. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, and curtain side airbags. Among the newly available features on the 2009 Cobalt include a wireless cell phone link and USB port for controlling iPods. Note that Pontiac sells a re-trimmed version of the Cobalt coupe as the G5.
