Expert Reply:
You could certainly use a Blue Ox flat towing setup on your 2013 Chevy Sonic. The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1703 would be an excellent choice for a base plate kit and is compatible with the Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar # BX7380 that you also referenced.
I would still recommend using the Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass # RM76511 so that you do not have to pull a fuse every time you flat tow.
Most states now require supplemental braking on the vehicle being flat towed. For an easy to use system I recommend the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR.
I have also included some helpful flat towing links for you.
Lastly, you will want to check your owners manual for any restrictions on flat-towing.
