I took a look at the owner's manual of a 2018 Chevy Sonic and it did not specify any model that could not be flat towed although to make absolutely sure I do recommend contacting your local Chevy dealer who should be able to tell you that information definitively.
There are a number of parts you're going to need in order to do this, starting with compatible base plates. I recommend the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-523192-4 if you have a sedan with a 1.8L engine or the Roadmaster... view full answer...

If your vehicle has a 1.4 Liter engine and an automatic transmission, then it cannot be flat towed and must be towed using a tow dolly, like part # RM-2050-1. If it has a 1.4L engine and a manual transmission, or has a 1.8L engine and is automatic or manual, then you can flat tow your vehicle.

If it is not an RS automatic then you can flat tow it using the following 5 components: base plates, tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking.
For base plates use # 523173-4. The base plates... view full answer...

We do carry everything needed to tow your Sonic starting with a tow bar. I like Demco tow bars because of the built in rise or drop and the independent arms. The arms moving independently of one another makes it easier to hook up especially on uneven ground. The Demco Commander II, part # DM9511012, is a great tow bar for your Sonic;... view full answer...

The Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11240 you are inquiring about will only require the use of a drawbar such as the Curt Drawbar part # C45520 when towing a trailer.

The support strap is designed to stabilize the rear bike rack or cargo carrier while in use.
