| Overview - Chevrolet Chevrolet Aveo |
Aveo 1.4 , one of the four versions of the Chevrolet Aveo from
General Motors India (GMI) is a small car which makes you want to drive it on
the first sight itself. The car made with aerodynamic design and
a heavy look has great space inside which makes it stand apart. The seats are
nice and high which makes your driving comfortable. It has electric adjustment
for the far side mirror but manual control for the driver’s side. Simple,
uncluttered and a whole generation better than its competitors in terms of quality
of switchgear, overall layout, quality of materials and the look. Braking is
one of the most impressive features of Aveo. It stops in a confidence-inspiring
manner with the pedal feel and bite being good. The 1.4-litre petrol
engine is pretty refined at low revs but press beyond 4000rpm and it takes on
a rough edge but not to the point where it becomes intrusively coarse. Low-end
torque wasn’t impressive and the Aveo needed a bootful of revs to make urgent
progress but again, it’s likely that the engine will be recalibrated and gear
ratios modified to give the necessary low-end grunt for Indian conditions. With
its well-planted feel and decent top-end performance, the Aveo would make a
good cruiser, especially with large 14-inch wheels and tyres (185/60-R14s) to
soak up bumps. It generates plenty of power in 1st and 2nd gear.
2nd to 3rd takes little extra time to deliver.
Rear is not curvy as Fiesta but the stylish rear lights
give Aveo a class touch.
