We previously had a clue to the new Aveo’s design with the helped of 3D patent renderings that were leaked a few months ago. Chevrolet has now released full details of the car and images to go along with it. The new Aveo is bigger in size than the previous model. A redesigned front end has been worked into the equation along with a new bumper and hidden rear door handles.
Structurally, the Aveo uses a tight body frame integral (BFI) structure offering more rigidity. Inside, the Aveo is said to contain multiple storage space that is coupled with quality materials used in the interior.
Under the hood, customers will have the option of petrol or diesel engines. This is made out of a 70hp and 86hp 1.2 litre, a 100hp 1.4 litre as well as a 115hp 1.6 litre. The diesel engine will consist of a 75hp 1.3 litre engine or a slightly uprated 95hp version, both of which will come with automatic start-stop technology.
Power will be transferred to the road via a 5 or 6-speed manual, with an option of a 6 speed automatic as well. It will also feature safety such as ABS, Electronic power steering (EPS) and Electronic stability control (ESC). Chevrolet will launch the Aveo hatchback and the sedan variant some time in mid-2011. It will also make an appearance at the Paris Motor Show this year.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Nice looking car…the front looked great
good looks,nice design,wont sell here,will be obsolete in 1 yrs time like curent model,end of story !
chevy should revised their price..its more expensive than other korean brand here..tho the brand is american..but the car is korean.
What would make this model obsolete?
Lawsuit from Mitsubishi! That front end is all Mitsu! Looks more like what the next Colt should look like
actually oso bits of cruze to be fair…but the logo really looks awkward the way it’s put btw the upper & lower grille.
mitsubish also copy volvo s40. everyone is a freaking copycat!
A Mitsubishi Lancer-wanabe?
It’s too compact to have dat look…
wow, this is actually much better than myvi, even the new coming one i bet…how come other model evolved so much with each generation but we r still getting shitty k car with more n more premium prices….
not sure whether I like it or not.. the design look good but if the pricing here around RM70K like last model, I would go for other brands..
Wonder how much it’ll cost
huh,r u guys sure this model is not in production yet,coz i saw a SG plate,yellow colour,at seremban PD highway this morning……and its the same chevy aveo
u sure or not… haha
yalah,same one,i saw a yellow one…..
Tried to be shark-nosed but kalah kepada Lancer.
Even a car this size has ESC (ESP), why most of 2.0 liter cars here don’t have it. One have to go for the high spec 2.4 for it.
u think msian model will have esp? urmm..i dont think so..
what about honda’s VSA for civic 2.0…..
i think u need to do a bit more research before jumping into conclusion ; )
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_stability_control
ESP is available on many new small cars in Europe.
The New Fiesta LX 1.6 and Sport 1.6 are also available with ESP.
Why wont Proton has?
Oh please!! Your english really sucks dude…
@thgh,
Well, probably to keep prices low.
that’s because most of those car have it but with different name…Honda (VSA) Toyota (VSC) Nissan (VDC) and banyak lagi…
Hexagonal grill ?
It would look too much like a Lancer if they made the grill Trapezoidal.
even the headlight looks like a lancer’s…
looks like the GM’s from transfORmer
why every design goes around VW? !!!
Ishh… 3-door does make the sales for malaysian …
5-door hatch back will do the job …
XD
this car is five doors la dude
dude read the article properly…. Hidden door handle….
i mean 3-door doesn’t make the sales …
holy cow
the front reminds me of sirocco
front like Chey Cruze
It’ll be easier for drug addicts to steal the light bulbs of the headlamps and tail lamps, after they pretty much stole all the bee-sting antennas around….
Overall, looks like a nice car to own…
How the hell do you open the rear door? Where’s the handle? Rendering fail or do you open it like the RX-8?
You open it like an Alfa 147.
if you look carefully…there’s some kind of flap is the black area near rear fender.. that is the the door handle…RX8 also use the same concept..but I think Alfa is the pioneer..
No, the RX8 doesn’t use the same concept. The suicide (rear) door handle is hidden when both doors are closed and is located on the inside of the door. You can only open the suicide doors when the front door is open.
i’m lil bit curious…this new Aveo is similar to Chevy Beat?
http://www.chevrolet.co.in/content_data/AP/IN/en/GBPIN/001/beat-model.html
The Aveo is a B-segment car, same class as the Hyundai Getz. The Chevrolet Beat is a smaller A-segment car, in the same class as the Hyundai i10. It replaces the Chevrolet Spark (the car which the Chery QQ ripped off).
thanks Paul…means this new Aveo is bigger than Beat,..has similar design too..but both are cute … i saw a lot of Beat while i was in india..those painted with Green apple are very very nice
I checked out the new Chevy Spark with those hidden frame mounted rear door handles.
It really feels awkward to use.
the rear three quarters look exactly like the new spark/beat
is this a proton lancer? oh god i can’t believe chevy puts up such a similar face
it’s destined to doom and it will always be for this sad chevy
I like how it tries very hard to copy Alfa 147s rear door opener, and yet leave the front badge HANGING IN MID AIR :0
thats happened when they copycating lots of other models, i bet they couldnt t the emblem at the middle is due to limited opening for the radiator grille. Lower, they will hit the plate no mounting, so no choice, they ended up with hanging emblem… Some called hungry ghost design
the front looks like lancer but compress a lil’ bit
lol
SO IT LOOKS DAMN GOOD. BUY OR NOT TO BUY…BUY IT IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT. DON’T BUY IF IF U’RE TOO CONCERNED ABOUT THE RESALE VALUE N THE NITTY GRITTY STUFF LIKE THE FRONT END COPIES MITSU’S NOSE N BLA…BLA..BLA….THIS GM LATEST BABY IS A GLOBAL MODEL. IT’S AMERICAN’S PRODUCED IN KOREA. JUST LIKE A HONDA’S PRODUCED IN AYER KEROH MELAKA (CRV THAT IS). IT’S SO ADVANCED IN MANY ASPECTS. WHY SETTLE FOR OUTDATED JAP MODELS WITH 4 SPEED N A LIST OF OTHER DEFICIENCIES WHEN U HV OTHER BETTER CHOICES??? JAP’S T AND H BRANDS ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF MALAYSIA’S GLUED MINDSET. THEY PRICE THEIR CARS RIDICULOUSLY HIGH WITH MANY ADVANCED FEATURES STRIPPED OFF COZ THEY KNOW MALAYSIANS ARE LOYAL ENVIES OF T & H. WHAT FOOLS HV WE BECOME….WAKE UP MALAYSIANS!!!
This idea of hidden rear door handles is nifty. How well does it work in real life?
Overall nicely done, but the top-rear spoiler should angle slightly upwards. It’s a little too bald like this.
Only thing I’d say is the front reminds me of the Cruze, but while the design similarity is good, it looks like it’s pretending to be a big car in the front…
The look doesn’t attract me. For me, the most beautiful Aveo is still the one which was designed by ItalDesign. It’s the first generation pre-facelifted version I guess. I think everything looked way more cohesive than the versions come after that, including this new look.
looks like baby scirocco in the front…..@.@
anybody feel the same like me?
eh i thought segment c and above only can apply 5 lug?
euwwww… kinda looks ugly to mee..previous design looks way better.
You’ve got to be kidding me. I hate it. They took a fantastic looking concept Aveo RS and completely uglified it.
It looks like they changed it just for change sake. And they did it WRONG!
The movement is the heart, or engine, of any watch. The crown in fake Frank Muller watches does not have engravings on them while one shall find an engraved crown in any replica wristwatch. The purpose of fitting a filter to it is the fact that while drinking, water undergoes a filtering process and is then passed to the sipper.
