| Ward's Top 10 Engines |
 |
The 2.0L ECOTEC engine in the Cobalt SS Supercharged Coupe was listed in Ward's Top 10 Engines for 2006. The engine is paired with an M62 Eaton supercharger. The combination produces 205 hp and 200 lb.-ft. of torque. Major league power wins major league recognition.
|
| Quite A Model Lineup – Quite An Engine Lineup |
 |
It isn't only the range of Coupe and Sedan models that separates Cobalt from the rest of the compact car class. It's also the range of engines, from the exceptionally fuel-efficient 148 hp 2.2L ECOTEC to the 173 hp 2.4L ECOTEC with variable valve timing. Which proves that it's not only the 205 hp SS Supercharged Coupe that offers advanced engine technology.
|
| It's Red Hot – Even In Yellow |
 |
The look of the Cobalt SS Supercharged Coupe couldn't be hotter, with 18" flangeless aluminum wheels, a rear aero wing spoiler, road-hugging ground effects sport fascias and fog lights. No matter which Cobalt model you choose, sporty styling is an integral part of the package. So turn up the heat – with Cobalt.

| A Matter Of Convenience |

| Cobalt Model Overview |
Choosing Cobalt over the mundane compact cars out there is easy. Choosing your particular Cobalt model may require a little more attention, with four Coupe and four Sedan models to choose between. All deliver remarkable value — the question is: which model best reflects your personality? |
| Cobalt Coupe |
 |
Cobalt Coupe LS and LT models provide an impressive standard equipment list, featuring a fuel-efficient 148 hp 2.2L ECOTEC engine, a standard CD player with an auxiliary audio input jack, 15" wheels and a Driver Information Centre. All Cobalts are also backed by the 5 year/160,000 km Powertrain Limited Warranty (whichever comes first). |
| Cobalt Coupe SS |
 |
Ramp up the performance with Cobalt SS Coupe. The 173 hp 2.4L ECOTEC engine with torque-boosting variable valve timing increases the power under the hood. A 260-watt premium amplified sound system with seven speakers, a 10" subwoofer, plus XM Satellite Radio** increase audio power inside SS. |
| Cobalt SS Supercharged Coupe |
 |
Set a blistering pace with the 205 hp 2.0L ECOTEC engine that's mated with an M62 Eaton supercharger. The styling is just as hot, with 18" flangeless aluminum wheels, and a rear aero wing spoiler. A 260-watt premium sound system and XM Satellite Radio** complete the package. |
| Cobalt Sedan |
 |
Cobalt Sedan makes other compact sedans look exceedingly ordinary. The list of standard features also separates Cobalt from the pack, with a fuel-efficient 148 hp 2.2L ECOTEC engine, a standard CD player with an auxiliary audio input jack, 15" wheels and a Driver Information Centre. LTZ models add many luxurious touches, including heated, leather-appointed front bucket seats. |
| Cobalt Sedan SS |
 |
It just may be the most affordable authentic sport sedan on the road. The Cobalt SS Sedan will stoke your enthusiasm for driving with a 173 hp 2.4L ECOTEC engine with torque-boosting variable valve timing and the enhanced control of 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS. |
