that will only be available as a sedan. 

The car gets a new body kit, rear spoiler, 18in wheels with nickel finish and an exclusive paint color that Chevrolet calls Ashen Grey. The upper and lower grilles, door handle inserts and rear license plate trim matte black, and there is stainless steel trim around the windows. 

Inside, the Dusk has Jet Black leather-trimmed seated with Mojave tan inserts and suede accents. The door panels and instrument panel have Mojave stitching. It comes standard with Chevrolet's MyLink infotainment system. 

 “The reaction to the Sonic Dusk concept last year was overwhelmingly positive and proved customers are interested in a more-refined subcompact. We’re moving quickly to bring Sonic Dusk to Chevrolet showrooms," said Chris Perry, vice president of Chevrolet marketing.

Power comes from Chevrolet's 1.4-liter turbo engine with 138hp and 148lb-ft of torque and either a six-speed manual or automatic. 

Chevrolet has not said exactly when the Sonic Dusk will be available but expect it sometime in 2013.
