Chevrolet Aveo UV-A

The hatchback is based on the old generation Aveo which is still sold in Europe and Asia as the Kalos. Its wheelbase of 2480mm is 25mm more than that of the Getz and 90mm more than that of the swift. It will be powered by a 1.4 litre engine from the same family of GM engines as the 1.6 on the Optra and at 90 odd PS, will be the most powerful hatch as well. Tha car is just about as old as the Getz so the design does not seem dated as compared to the other hatches on the road and will might look dated only once the new Indica arrives, which may take a lot of time in coming.

Suspension layout is the nearly the same as seen on the Swift and the Getz with Macpherson struts upfront and torsion beam at the rear. The interiors though spacious are slightly dated as compared to the Aveo sedan. The usage of carbon fibre finish for the door inserts and central console is nice and the utilitarian features for a small hatch are great.
