Chevrolet Aveo (2011)


The latest edition of the Chevrolet Aveo is an all new vehicle that includes a completely redesigned exterior and passenger cabin, a newly developed chassis and body structure, as well as an upgraded range of fuel efficient, low emission engines.

Featuring a sporty exterior that speaks Chevrolet’s global design language, the all new Chevrolet Aveo appeals to the young and the young-at-heart. This holds true for both body styles, but especially for the five door hatchback, with its aggressive, flowing body lines. Meanwhile, the all new four door version conveys a more mature, upscale feel. The notchback is aimed at young families in particular.

The Chevrolet Aveo has been engineered to make everyday driving in a small car a more dynamic and enjoyable experience, while delivering practical, hands on solutions and value. In order to ensure responsive handling, engineers developed an all new chassis for the Aveo that is among the most rigid in its segment.

“In many regions of Europe, and chiefly in parts of south and eastern Europe, small sedans play an important role as they are often bought by families where the car is the only one in the household,” says Wayne Brannon, explaining the significance of the Aveo notchback within the Chevrolet product range.


A small car with great performance and handling and a distinct, youthful appearance, the new Aveo also challenges competitors with a stylish, user friendly passenger cabin. Its interior craftsmanship and refinements are designed to engage passengers with everything they see, touch or hear.

“The Chevrolet Aveo is filled with features customers wouldn’t expect in this class. That’s what value for money is all about,” said Wayne Brannon, President and Managing Director of Chevrolet Europe.


Today, a new car, and particularly a new entry to the small car segment, is expected to offer excellent fuel economy and a low carbon footprint, along with great performance and durability.

The Ecotec 1.2 and 1.4 liter gasoline engines make their debut in the new Aveo, while a new 1.3 liter turbo diesel will be the first diesel in a Chevrolet’s small cars in Europe. It debuts this autumn and features a high performance common rail fuel-injection system and advanced, electronically controlled variable geometry turbocharger with intercooler.



In line with its agile, athletic disposition, the all new Aveo exhibits a purposeful, assertive appearance. From every angle, the redesigned Chevrolet Aveo Sedan and five door models feature exterior forms that convey strength, stability and sportiness. A 114 mm offset between the roof rails and shoulder line, along with a track width of 1509 mm and pronounced wheel arches, ensure a confident, grounded posture. Progressive, raked body lines imply performance and suggest swift movement even when the car is stationary.

“The new Aveo is the modern, sporty face of Chevrolet around the globe,” said Taewan Kim, Vice President, Design, with GM Korea. “It is a car which represents and appeals to the younger generation’s sense of style and enables them to express their individuality while experiencing a vehicle that is fun to drive.”

The hood surface features a subtle centerline crease and crisp outboard scallops, running from the cowl to the forward hood line for a swept, aggressive appearance. A more forward positioned cowl line and the Chevrolet Aveo’s sharply inclined windshield result in a bold, aerodynamic expression.

All wheels feature Chevrolet’s five spoke design and are available in 15 inch steel, as well as 15, 16, and 17 inch alloy styles.
