What’s new, trim levels, optional equipment, and safety info for the 2008 Chevrolet Aveo.
Manufactured for Chevrolet in Korea by Daewoo, the subcompact Aveo is a basic-transportation car whose chief virtue is affordability and inexpensive operation. It’s offered in sedan and five-door hatchback (called the Aveo5) body styles, with a 103-hp, 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine driving the front wheels via a five-speed manual transmission (standard) or four-speed automatic (optional).
The sedan is the bigger of the two, and a little more stylish, but the hatchback—about the size of a Honda Fit—provides more cargo capacity and is cheaper.
Neither version comes close to matching the Fit’s all-around drivability, braking distances are substandard, automatic-equipped models are exceptionally sluggish, and fun-to-drive is largely conspicuous by its absence. On the other hand, the Aveo does deliver a respectable level of standard comfort and convenience features. It is adequacy priced to sell.
What’s New for 2008
Chevy has added a tire-pressure monitoring system to all models. Fifteen-inch aluminum wheels are now standard on the LT, optional on base models.
