2007 Chevrolet Cobalt: Big Lineup of Small Cars Gets More Power, Features And
Accessories
‘The Cobalt lineup of premium, sporty compact cars offers more horsepower, features and accessories for
the 2007 model year. Already a popular nameplate known for delivering affordable performance ard
refinement, Cobalt offers a high number of configurations as diverse as the customers who seek and buy
‘small cars.
Cobatt's expressive design, dynamic driving experience and wide array of features appeal to a diverse
audience ~ from those desiring a feature-packed, fuel-efficient, value-driven commuter to the youthful
sport compact enthusiasts who view their car as a canvas for personalization. It has quickly earnec a
following by outperforming competitors in key areas including horsepower, features and value proposition.
Cobalt sales in 2005 totaled more than 212,000 unit.
For 2007, Chevy offers eight Cobalt models: the LS, LT, LTZ and SS sedan; and the LS, LT, SS and SS
Supercharged coupe. This broad portfolio includes three different GM-proven Ecotec engines, ranging
from 148 horsepower (110kW) to 205 horsepower (153 kW), three transmissions and three suspensions.
The 2.21 and 2.4L Ecotecs get a slight horsepower increase for 2007.
This new model year Chevrolet Accessories provides Cobalt customers with an expanding range of
personalization tools that include popular horsepower-boosting stage kits.
Cobalt features a strong foundation, rigid body structure, well-isolated chassis and low interior noise
levels, thanks in part to the use of Quiet Stee! laminated sheetmetal, a premium material not normally
found on vehicles in the compact segment. The strong foundation also enhances occupant protection.
Precise electric steering, tuned to each tire/wheel combination, further contributes to the dynamic criving
‘experience.
T he Cobalt range of sedans offers stylish looks coupled with a comfortable ride. The Cobalt coupe
design mimics the sedan from the A-pillar forward, but differs from the A-pillar rearward with a tapered
reverse C-pillar that leads to Corvette-inspired four round taillamps. Several wheel options also are
offered, including standard 15-inch wheels and avaliable 16-inch, 17-inch and 18-inch wheels, all with
unique designs.
Cobalt’s exterior color palette for 2007 now includes a new Sport Red Tint.
Expressive design
‘With a rakish yet refined silhouette and excellent attention to detail, Cobalt has a stylish design that
reflects its sporty, fun-to-drive character.
‘Available in coupe and sedan body styles, Cobalt features smooth and sleek exteriors with fast rooflines.
Cobalt is light in the air, 100, with a coefficient of drag of just 0.324 for both body styles. A myriad of subtle
details, such as aircraft-style doors that integrate the door frames into the exterior surface for a tighter,
flush fit, contribute to Cobat’s overall feeling of strength and solidity. Jewel-like headlamps and taillamps
exude a premium appearance. The coupe features additional upscale cues, such as Corvette-inspied
taillamps.
A sporty look for all models is achieved with a low-slung body and a curvaceous roofline; particularly in
the coupe, which has tapered, reverse C-pilars that lead to Chevy's signature four round taillamps.
Cobatt's other carefully executed design details include:
+ Monochromatic details on all models, including door handles, bumpers, grille, B-pillars and roof
‘molding for a more finished look
+ Single-cavity headlamps with all forward lighting functions contained in the same unit (except
foglamps)
* Different fascias for sedans and coupes creates distinction in lineup
+ Chevy-signature horizontal grille bar and gold bowtie insignia for base, LS and LT models
+ Available stanchion-mounted rear spoiler

‘Available 16-inch high-vent steel wheels for LT
‘Available 18-inch high-polished wheels for SS Supercharged
Body-color ground effects fascias and rocker moldings for SS Supercharged
Front wheelhouse liners with molded-in mudistone guards for LS and LT models
Nine available exterior colors
Dynamic driving experience and safety
From the outset, engineers designed Cobalt to be a responsive, fun-to-drive car. Cobal’s underbody uses
high-strength steel as welded members in strategic locations for maximum strength, structural integrity,
‘mass optimization and crashworthiness. The underbody boasts a rigid bending frequency of nearly 27 Hz.
‘All Cobalt models feature a strut-type front suspension, semi-independent torsion beam rear suspension,
and front and rear stabilizer bars for more exact body roll control. Speed-sensitive electric power steering
is tuned to match the performance levels ofthe various tire and suspension packages.
‘The Cobalt rides on a MacPherson strut front suspension and a semi-independent, torsion beam rear
suspension. Front and rear stabilizer bers — uncommon features for compact cars in Cobalt's price cange
~ are standard on all models. Suspension tuning for each model, including steering feel, spring rate and
stabilizer bar diameter, is dialed in to provide distinct driving and handling characteristics. Three
suspension settings are available:
FE1 suspension - standard on LS, LT and LTZ models, it provides a smooth ride and includes a 19-
mm front stabilizer bar and a 16-mm rear stabilizer bar
FES suspension - standard and available only on SS models, it delivers a firmer, more direct de
and includes 22-mm front and rear stabilizer bars, four-wheel disc brakes, monotube shocks ard 17-
inch wheels and performance tires
FEG cuspension — standard on the SS Supercharged, it was developed on the racetrack to deliver
sports car levels of handling and grip; 24-mm front stabilizer bar and 22-mm rear stabilizer bar,
higher-rate springs and bushings, four-wheel disc brakes, monotube shocks and 18-inch forged
aluminum wheets with complementing performance tires
Cobalt's struttype front suspension is compact yet provides long whee! travel, with 90 mm of
‘compression travel and 87 mm of rebound, which is substantially more than most competitors and
‘enhances overall ride and handling. Monotube rear shocks are used for a more precise road feel. L-
shaped front control arms contain a forward pivot bushing, which transmits most of the cornering force,
and a larger, high-damped composite rear elastomeric bushing that allows rearward movement to
minimize harshness from road surface impacts. The front control arms are made from stee! on the FE1
suspension and are aluminum on the FE3 and FES suspensions.
‘The direct-acting front stabilizer bar connects to each strut for precise steering response and improved
‘cornering agility with decreased body roll. All front suspension components are mounted to a new, rigid
cradle assembly comprised of four large hydroformed steel tubes and two side members that are
integrally welded to front and rear cross members. The cradle is mounted to the Cobalt’s space fran at
four widely spaced points.
Cobatts torsion beam rear suspension provides excellent ride and handling, while maximizing interior
space. A hydraulic rear suspension bushing is employed on the FE1 suspension to improve the ride and
suppress road noise. Rear wheel travel, at 126.5 mm in jounce and 68.5 mm in rebound, is longer than
most vehicles in the segment.
Vented front disc brakes with single-piston calipers and composite rear drum brakes are standard on LS,
LT and LTZ. Four-wheel anti-lock brakes (ABS) are standard on LT and LTZ models, and optional cn LS,
Four-wheel disc brakes with ABS are standard on SS and SS Supercharged models. Cobalt also offers,
‘an enhanced electronic traction control system on all models equipped with an automatic transmission
and ABS; this system is standard on LTZ.
Enhanced traction system (ETS) is integral with automatio-equipped Coballs with ABS. ETS enhances
traction by adjusting engine torque if wheel slip is detected,
Page 22007 Chevrolet Cobalt Restoration Kit
Safety and security
The tigid body structure that lays the foundation of Cobalt’s dynamic driving experience also reinforces
occupant safety. In addition to the solid unibody structure, dual-stage frontal air bags are standard and
side head curtain air bags are available, Front seat belt pretensioners, rear center shoulder belts and the
LATCH child seat retention system are also standard.
‘Additional security is provided by the standard PASS-Key Ill Plus thefl-deterrent system, which prevents
vehicle operation if the right key is not used. Remote keyless entry and power door locks (not available on
LS) provide lockout prevention, delayed locking and programmable operation.
Continuous safety is provided by OnStar. OnStar-equipped Cobalt models feature OnStar dual-mode
(analog-digital) equipment. OnStar's digital equipment also includes enhanced hands-free voice
recognition capabilities including more intuitive continuous digit dialing and improved voice recognition
accuracy. OnStar is the leading provider of in-vehicle safety, security and information services in the
United States and Canada . Using the GPS satellite network and wireless technology, OnStar features,
core safety services and OnStar Hands-Free Calling that allow drivers to make and receive voice-
activated phone calls using an externally mounted antenna for greater reception.
‘The OnStar service standard on the 2007 Cobalt includes the General Motors Advanced Automatic Crash
Notification (AACN) system (excluding SS models), making crash data available to the participating 911
centers to help them dispatch the appropriate live-saving personnel and equipment to crash scenes
faster.
Plentiful powertrains
Cobalt offers buyers a variety of segment-leading powertrain combinations that deliver distinct levels
ranging from maximized economy to race-inspired performance. Cobalt's GM-proven Ecotec 2.2L and
2.4L engines receive slight horsepower increases for 2007.
‘The 2.21 engine of the LS, LT and LTZ models is rated at 148 horsepower (110 kW) at 5600 rpm* and
152 lb.-ft. of torque (260 Nm) at 4200 rpm.* Cobalt SS features a 2.4L engine rated at 173 horsepower
(129 kW) at 6200 rpm* and 163 lb.-ft. of torque (221 Nm) at 4800 rpm." The 2.0L SC engine of the Cobalt
SS Supercharged produces 205 horsepower (153 kW) and 5600 rpm and 200 Ib. of torque (272 Nm) at
4400 rpm.
‘All Cobalt engines are from the technically sophisticated Ecotec family. Each has distinct performance
‘and hardware differences, but all share a basic all-aluminum architecture and construction that includes:
Dual overhead camshafts (DOHC) and four valves per cylinder
‘Twin counter-rotating balance shafts
Low-rition, roler-finger follower valvetrain with hydraulic lash adjusters
Zero-maintenance chain camshaft drive
Extremely compact dimensions and low mass
Direct mounting of all accessories to the engine structure to eliminate common sources of noise,
vibration and harshness
+ Full circle transmission attachment is more rigid than most 4-oylinder powertrains for reduced
noise and vibration
‘+ GM Oil Life System for optimum oil change frequency
+ No routine maintenance apart from oilfilfiter changes
* Catalyst located close to the exhaust manifold to speed catalyst “light-off" and reduce
hydrocarbon emissions
* Innovative cast-in ol fiter housing eliminates crawling under the car to perform oil changes The
design also eliminates throwaway oll-fiter “cans” that retain used oll and typically end up in
landfils
‘The Cobalt's standard transmission on LS, LT and SS is a Getrag F23 five-speed manual, known for
‘smooth shifting, The F35 five-speed manual transmission in the SS Supercharged has a higher torcue
capacity than the manual transmission found in other Cobalt models. A short-hrow shifter and 4.05 1 axle
Page 32007 Chevrolet Cobalt Restoration Kit
ratio complement the performance-oriented transmission and performance characteristics of the engine,
giving the Cobalt SS Supercharged exhilarating acceleration,
Available on LS, LT and SS models and standard on LTZ is the Hydra-Matic 4745 electronically
controlled four-speed automatic transmission. Like the standard F23 manual transmission, the 4T45 is.
renowned for its smooth and durable operation. In the Cobalt, this transmission uses full perimeter
fastening directly to the engine block and oil pan to increase driveline stiffness, resulting in reduced noise
and vibration, The 4T45 uses the new Dexron VI fluid and is “fled for life,” meaning there is no scheduled
‘maintenance required for the transmission under normal operating conditions.
Cobalt SS
Cobalt SS invokes Chevy's performance heritage, and is part of a larger family of Chevy SS models.
Highlights of the SS coupe and sedan models include:
2.4L Ecotec VVT four-cylinder with 173 horsepower (129 KW) and 163 lb.-ft. of torque (221 Nm)*
Standard five-speed manual transmission
Available Hydra-Matic 4T45 four-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission
‘Seventeer-inch alloy wheels and performance tires
Performance-tuned suspension
Standard four-wheel disc brakes with four-channel ABS system
‘SS-specific front and rear fascias, rocker moldings (similar to SS Supercharged)
SS exterior badging
‘+ SS-specific interior appointments, including instrument panel appearance and trim
Cobalt SS Supercharged Coupe
With impressive performance from its 205-horsepower (153 kW) 2.0L supercharged Ecotec engine, this
‘compact powerhouse is at home on the racetrack as well as the street. The suspension was tuned at
Germany's Nurburgring racetrack.
At the heart of the Ecoteo 2.0L SC is an Eaton M62 supercharger. Maximum supercharger boost
pressure is 12 pounds per square inch (psi), and the system includes an air-to-water intercooler that cools
the incoming air charge to increase intake-charge density, which in turn enhances power and reduces the
engine's propensity to “knock” at high boost levels.
Cobalt SS Supercharged achieves 0-60 mph in 6.4 seconds, and the quarter-mile in 14,9 seconds, with a
top speed of 143 mph,
It features distinctive exterior and interior elements that also make it stand out from the crowd, including a
high-mount spoiler, lower rocker extensions and fascias with one-inch extensions; as well as titanium-
face gauges, A-pillar-mounted boost gauge and leather- appointed seats with perforated color-keyed
inserts
Interior refinement and comfort
Separate trim levels for each Cobalt model provide distinction and a tailored appearance. In keeping with
Cobait’s premium positioning, many features are standard, including air conditioning and electric rear
defogger. New for 2007 is an AMIFM stereo radio and CD player with MP3 playback and auxiliary input
jaok; and driver information center.
Surprising amenities - such as an optional remote vehicle starter system new for 2007 (when an
‘automatic transmission is ordered) - also lend an upscale feel to the Cobalt’s interior, as many of tre
standard and available features aren't generally found within the vehicle's competitive set.
The available factory-installed remote vehicle starter system, which is new for 2007, is integrated wth the
remote keyless entry feature and allows the driver to get a head start on the car's interior heating and
cooling from a range of up to 200 feet (61 m).
‘Additionally, Cobalt features plenty of interior comfort and flexibilty, including easy access to the rear
