Which Chevrolet sedan replaced the Cavalier for the 2005 model year?

The Chevrolet sedan that replaced the Cavalier for the 2005 model year was the Chevrolet Cobalt.

Chevrolet positioned the Cobalt as a compact car offered in sedan and coupe forms. It replaced the long-running Cavalier in Chevrolet’s North American lineup and used General Motors’ Delta platform, which also supported several other compact models.

The Cobalt was sold with four-cylinder engines and was available with front-wheel drive. A high-performance Cobalt SS version later became notable for its supercharged or turbocharged four-cylinder engines, depending on the model year.

The Cobalt is sometimes confused with the Chevrolet Cruze, which followed it in the United States. The Cruze arrived for the 2011 model year and became Chevrolet’s next major global compact-car offering, while Cobalt production in North America ended earlier.
