Aveo5
Overview
Happiest when driven.
Bold, striking and sporty. The new Aveo5 not only inspires with its looks but rewards the owner with reliability, functionality, spirited performance and plain good economic sense. It’s proof that budget cars needn’t look nor feel cheap. When you’ve test-driven the Aveo5, you’ll understand why it’s often called the big small car (seats 5 big adults comfortably).
The same applies to the ride – it has the handling and comfort of bigger cars and there’s little to remind you that it didn’t cost you a hefty sum. Agile, spirited, fun, friendly and fuel efficient – long road trips or short escapades need not be expensive adventures with the Aveo5.
As a top local motoring site, oneshift-com, concluded in a recent head-to-head road tests of 3 compact hatchbacks – the Chevy Aveo5, Suzuki Swift, and the Mazda 2…
“In terms of value for money, the Aveo5 wins simply because it provides no-frills driving experience at an affordable cost. Not only that, it’s also well-packaged and has an interior level that’s on par with the Swift and Mazda 2 – despite costing way cheaper than the two.”

Exterior
Untiring enthusiasm – even at standstill
The Aveo5 strikes an imposing profile on the road – even for a car of its size. From any angle, its design makes a clear statement that the car is built to be driven…and enjoyed.
Clean, purposeful lines cut an exceptional “hothatch” profile and are accentuated with great design details. Its wide and prominent grille, for example, is representative of the Aveo5′s willingness to be driven around town or along highways.

Interior
All the room to fit your lifestyle
The interior of the Aveo5 is downright surprising. Created to maximize space and comfort, it features plenty of headroom for taller drivers and and generous shoulder room for both front and rear passengers.

More space in more places
Whatever you want to take along for the ride, you can count on the Aveo5′s creative generosity. Open the trunk and you’ll find an impressive 220 litres of cargo room – plenty of space for everything from suitcases to your weekly shopping. And thanks to the wide opening hatch, loading and unloading is a breeze. For life’s little etceteras, you’ll find innovative storage compartments.


Safety
Safety without compromise
Like the thousands of Aveo5 owners around the world, you can rely on the safety features of the Aveo5 to keep you and your family safer on the road. The design and engineering of the car is built around numerous active and passive safety technologies – so it’s not only great looking but also re-assuring. Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) for greater stopping power in any road and weather condition, re-inforced safety cage and special crumple zones are standard, of course. Visit Chevrolet Centre to find out more about the other safety features (such as the choice of the door handles) that make the Aveo5 a confident ride for every one.
