The Chevy Aveo Affordable Transportation For Everyone

The single thing American about the compact Aveo automobile is it’s Chevrolet name. Built in Korea [or in China] by GM Daewoo, the Aveo is America’s price champion coming in at slightly below 10 thousand dollars. That’s right; you can still purchase a new automobile in the United States for under ten thousand bucks excluding taxes, dealer prep, and destination charges. Let’s take a more detailed look at Chevy’s bargain basement folks hauler.

Available as either a 4 doorway sedan or as a 5 doorway hatch, the Chevrolet Aveo fills an important niche in the Chevy line up as an entry level econocar. Priced just about 5,000 dollars less than Chevy’s next most pricey model, the Cobalt, the Aveo allows for Chevrolet to say for a bit of the youth market. The Aveo is expressly centered to challenge against similar models from Scion, Kia, Hyundai, and Toyota.

So, exactly what do buyers get for their money, especially with a base model? To start, the Aveo comes with tires, a steering wheel, fenders, and safety glass. Seriously, standard plant for the Aveo is a 1.6L I4 engine twinned with a five speed manny tranny. Air will cost additional, but the base equipment list does include an AM/FM radio, rear wiper, a load cover, and side impact air bags for the driver and front seat passenger. Option packages include better sound, air, an automatic transmission, and a large number of other accessories.

With a 97 in. Wheelbase and a curb weight of almost 2350 pounds, the Aveo definitely is a challenger in the lightweight class. Headroom of nearly 40 inches allows taller drivers less complicated access, but one can only wonder if anyone would find the Aveo all that snug to begin with based on the auto’s size and the standard of the seating?

GM Daewoo [50.1% owned by General Motors] not long ago released a new version of the Aveo [called the Gentra in Korea] that currently is only available in Asia. The new Gentra/Aveo incorporates a rounder exterior departing from the dated jammed shape of this Aveo. No official word as of this writing if and when the new model will make its American debut.

While the Aveo is certain not to win many awards, it does provide for purchasers possessing limited means a cheap style of transport. For Chevrolet, who was lacking a basic home grown model, the Aveo brings in buyers who could have otherwise bypassed Chevy dealers and headed at once to Scion or Kia for their first car. Beyond that the Aveo is a truly forgettable car and first time buyers may want to consider a good used car instead.
