The 2008 Cobalt is a 2- or 4-door, 5-passenger family coupe, or family sedan, available in 8 trims, ranging from the LS Coupe to the Sport Sedan.

Upon introduction, the LS Coupe is equipped with a standard 2.2-liter, I4, 148-horsepower engine. The Sport Sedan is equipped with a standard 2.4-liter, I4, 171-horsepower engine that achieves 22-mpg in the city and 32-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard on both trims, and a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is optional.
The 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt revises its model and feature lineup this year. This compact car is available as a 2-door coupe or 4-door sedan. LS and LT trims return, and are offered with a 148-hp 2.2-liter 4-cylinder engine. The Cobalt SS is renamed the Sport, and it has a 171-hp 2.4-liter 4-cylinder. The high-performance SS Supercharged is discontinued. A 5-speed manual transmission is standard on all models, and a 4-speed automatic is optional. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags. Note that Pontiac sells a retrimmed Cobalt coupe as the G5.

The Cobalt is the quietest, most refined small car GM has ever built. It’s based on a strong, stiff platform, a key element for crisp handling and a smooth ride.

The Chevrolet Cobalt is available in an array of distinctive trim levels in two body styles: two-door coupe and four-door sedan. Three different engines are available with suspensions tuned to match. The LS, LT, and LTZ models are powered by a 145-horsepower 2.2-liter engine and use the FE1 suspension. The SS coupe and sedan get a 171-horsepower 2.4-liter engine, the FE3 sports suspension. The SS Supercharged coupe features a 205-horsepower 2.0-liter engine and the high-performance FE5 suspension.
