The car can reach a top speed of 106mph, which is average for a small family car. It is sluggish at making speed as it takes 13.4 seconds for this vehicle to travel from 0mph to 62mph. The car’s power output is 85bhp and its torque is relatively weak at 85 lb-ft.
Unfortunately, noise refinement of the engines is low as they need to be pushed hard in order to achieve results. This means there is some disturbance experienced within the cabin, limiting the smoothness of the drive. The dimensions of the car should make it agile on the road but heavy steering impairs this and body lean is also noticeable. However, the suspension does do a good job of eliminating the effect of bumps and imperfections in the road.
Electric door mirrors and electric front windows are standard with this car, as is air conditioning and a CD player.
Other than these basic features very little is provided many customers will be unsatisfied with the low level of technology.
The Aveo is a fairly attractive vehicle with smooth and sleek lines, although this model is not enhanced with alloy wheels.
The car's safety has been well constructed. It is fitted with a driver airbag, passenger airbag as well as airbags in the front side area of the vehicle. In terms of secuirty the Aveo comes as standard with central locking and an alarm.
The Aveo is a fairly practical model. It can seat five occupants and has five-door access, which is convenient for rear passengers. The boot space is typical of a small car, as when the rear seats are up there is a limited 290 litres of free space and when the rear seats are folded there is 943 litres.
Chevrolet provide a favourable 5 year warranty for up to 100,000 miles.
The Chevrolet Aveo 1.2 LS is available from £9,995. Whilst this seems fairly reasonable drivers must remember very little is included with the purchase price of the vehicle.
However, the car performs on exceptional fuel economy at an average of 60.9mpg, so drivers will make great savings when refuelling. The car also produces 111g/km of CO2 emissions, which is very good and far more environmentally friendly than many rivals.
Overall the model represents decent value for money, but buyers will have to decide how important in-car technology is to them.
