The Chevrolet Cobalt was introduced in July 2005 as the successor to the Chevrolet Cavalier and was offered by General Motors.

History

The first generation was based on the GM Delta platform . The first cobalt was produced in the GM plant Lordstown. A Pontiac version was sold in the US and Mexico as G5 Pursuit.

The vehicle was available as a 2 door coupe as well as a four-door. Both versions were available with either a 2.2-liter or a 2.4-liter Ecotec gasoline engine . The power is transmitted via a manual five-speed gearbox or optionally via a four-speed automatic transmission . With independent front suspension with MacPherson struts, and semi-independent torsion beam rear. 

The top model is the "SS Supercharged", which is equipped with a 2.0 l Ecotec compressor - and manual five-speed gearbox.Since the "SS Supercharged" no longer met the more stringent emission regulations in force in the US since 2008 , production was discontinued at the end of 2007. In early 2008 a new SS model was introduced, this time with a powerful 260 hp (194 kW) four-cylinder turbocharged.At the Nürburgring , the Cobalt SS / TC (TurboCharged) held in 2007 the class record for compact sports cars with front-wheel drive. 

The weight distribution of the coupe is 60: 40 and the four-door at 59: 41. In the summer of 2010, the production of Cobalt was discontinued.
