There are four basic configurations of sedans - from the initial Base to the sports version of the SS, and the Cobalt Coupe range - LS, SS and SS Super Supercharged.

The basic engine was a 2.2-liter 140-horsepower engine, and a 170-horsepower 2.4-liter engine is offered for the top version of the Cobalt SS.

One of the main innovations of this modification was the two-liter four-cylinder engine forced to 205 horsepower, which received the mechanical Roots Eaton supercharger.
