2011 CHEVROLET Aveo Sedan 1.6L 6AT FWD (115 HP)

Vehicle Overview

The small sedan from Chevrolet was the last try of the American brand to conquer Europe. It represents the farewell to the old Daewoo platform and, in 2011, with a new design, the Aveo meant business.

The sedan version was a good offer for the East European market, where three-box vehicles are preferred. The budget cars were blooming and the economy was recovering after the world financial crisis. The four-door saloon was offering decent features and decent room for five adults and a separate trunk. The 2011 Aveo didn’t have anything in common with the older one. More aggressive styling was adopted and, on the upper trim levels, it offered light-alloy-wheels.

The engine range was ranging from a small, gasoline, fuel-efficient 1.2-liter unit that offered 75 hp or 86 hp, respectively. The top gasoline version was a 1.6-liter that offered 115 hp, which was not bad for a light small car. A 1.3-liter turbo-diesel version was available with two power options.

The interior materials were according to its class and price budget. Standard options were the AC, central locking and a stereo. The trunk was huge, with its 502 liters (17.7 cu-ft). The option list was generous, and an automatic transmission was available too.

But the car didn’t survive the market. It was too expensive as a base model and, with more options, had a sticker price higher than its competition.
