In a 2013 review, journalist Patrick George called it the best compact car ever made by General Motors, and a potential 'future classic'. The Cobalt SS received generally positive reviews, particularly the turbocharged and supercharged versions. Production of the supercharged coupe continued until 2007, and after a brief hiatus the SS relaunched in the second quarter of 2008 with a more efficient and powerful turbocharged 2.0 L engine producing 260 hp (194 kW 264 PS) before all Cobalt production ended in 2010.

The following year, a naturally aspirated 1SS model equipped with GM's new 2.4 L 171 hp (128 kW 173 PS) engine was added in both coupe and sedan body styles, including automatic and manual transmission options. The Cobalt SS was GM's first foray into the tuner market, launching as a 205 hp (153 kW 208 PS) supercharged 2.0 L coupe in late 2004, paired only with the F35 5-speed manual transmission of Opel. SS is an abbreviation of Super Sport, a historic moniker used by Chevrolet to denote high performance upgrades that meet certain criteria. The three versions included two forced induction inline-four Ecotec engines and a third naturally aspirated engine that was later called the Cobalt Sport. The Chevrolet Cobalt SS comprises three sport compact versions of the Chevrolet Cobalt that were built on the General Motors Delta platform at Lordstown Assembly in Ohio, United States.
