Chevrolet has unveiled the first pictures and details of the new three-door Aveo which will be displayed at the next Geneva Motor Show.
The new three-door version is based on the five-door Aveo revealed last year at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The new Aveo will be available with a choice of two petrol engines, gasoline engines: a 1.2-litre unit with an output of 83bp and a 1.4-litre unit with 100bp. The car will hit the showrooms in June.
With the five-door model due to go on sale next month, the three door Aveo is Chevrolet’s serious attempt to take on established rivals such as the Peugeot 207 and the Vauxhall Corsa. Chevrolet didn’t go wild with the design and the Aveo exterior styling is aggressive at the front and a little tame at the rear end. The interior styling looks a bit outdated. With a competitive price, Chevrolet will likely sell the Aveo quite well in aster Europe. On our shores, the challenge will be higher.
