New Chevrolet Aveo Hatchback Revealed
Press Release

• New Chevrolet Aveo celebrates its world premiere in Frankfurt
• Launch in Europe as of March 2008
• Two petrol engines with 84 or 98 hp; manual or automatic transmission

Chevrolet Europe will present the Kalos’ successor at the Frankfurt Motor Show (13 to 23 September 2007). The most significant features of this completely reworked model are its striking exterior, its high-class interior and a new, even more efficient petrol engine. Like its notchback stable mate, the new hatchback model will now bear the Aveo name throughout Europe. Sales will start in March 2008.

The Aveo hatchback sports Chevrolet’s new design features, as characterised by the big horizontally split radiator grille with a body-coloured crossbeam and the brand logo sitting prominently in the center. The dynamic detailing includes large, curved, clear-glass headlamps and fog lamps that project like spotlights from the lower part of the bumper. In profile, the body’s prominent shoulder lines catch the eye, while the back of the car is dominated by the solid bumper and the round tail lamps in a clear-glass housing.

There is a choice of two petrol engines: a new 1.2-litre unit with an output of 84 hp, and the existing 1.4-litre engine, which now develops 98 hp and is available with automatic transmission.

Another proof, Americans are worried about gas-prices ...!

They say it's new, but of course you don't need any Koënig, Nagler, Plössl or RKE eyepiece to find out it is no such thing. The "new" Aveo 2008, still is the same old rubbish car that failed the EuroNCAP and ANCAP crash-tests, except now it's got a Victorian Radiator grille at the front.
