Chevrolet Aveo is another fruit of a combination of Korean and American technologies under the control of the American company General Motors. This car arose as a deep modification of the Daewoo Lanos extremely popular in the space of the former Soviet Union. It was on the basis of this model that the Italian designer Jorgetto Juaro created a project of a new car, later called Chevrolet Aveo.
Thanks to the use of the cheap Lanos base and the technology purchased for a penny from the bankrupt Daewoo, the cost of Chevrolet Aveo is at one of the lowest levels among all manufacturers of small budget cars, except Chinese. Aveo is a rather deep modification of Lanos, but it is a modification, not a fundamentally new car, so it carries both many advantages and the disadvantages of his predecessor. That is why it will be quite appropriate to compare Aveo with Daewoo Lanos, which can often be found in salons, where they sell a car with a mileage in Ufa. After all, it is in Ufa that the service for selling a car with mileage has been developing very actively and becomes convenient for sellers and buyers. There is a wide selection at any convenient price.
The Lanos car, recognized in Ukraine with a “folk” car, was distinguished by one very important quality – reliability. Lanos could not boast of a progressive design and, moreover, high -quality filling, however, the engine and suspension of the car allowed him to drive at least one hundred thousand kilometers, which is a very good indicator for a budget car. Unfortunately, Aveo only partially adopted this strong side of its predecessor. The installed Aveo engine, like the Lanos engine, completely depends on the country in which the car is assembly. So, if the American version is equipped with a proprietary engine from General Motors, with a volume of 1.4 to 1.6 liters, then Ukrainian – by a motor from autosaz. The main claims to Aveo, as well as to her older brother Lacetti are in the field of using an automatic gearbox. AVEO automatic transmission uses cheap details that reduce the quality and durability of the automatic transmission, condemning the owners of the car into frequent and expensive repairs. AVEO and Lanos aerodynamic and speed characteristics are practically identical.
Aveo’s undoubted advantage over Lanos is its design. Italian designers really did a great job, making a modern and well -recognized car. Aveo looks especially successful in the back of the hatchback, which gives the car more massiveness and integrity.
The interior decoration in Aveo is also pretty good. Cheap creaking plastic used in Lanos has gone the past. Aveo salon is quite spacious, the materials used are pleasant for the eyes, and the design of the front panel looks quite modern and relevant. The weak place in the interior decoration is the assembly quality, literally after a few years the salon elements begin to cry, and the cause of the unpleasant sound is often difficult to determine.
The “filling” of the basic version of Aveo is practically no different from the similar Lanos model and does not correspond to modern ideas about the car. In addition, security standards in the SHEVROLET Aveo remain at a fairly low level (2 out of 5 points in the Euro-system).
Chevrolet Aveo took a step forward compared to predicting models, significantly updating the design and improving the level of the car interior, but the model still looks quite behind and is uncertainly compared to emerging analogues. The only advantage of AVEO is the price that allows it to compete only in countries with low and average income levels, without counting on global recognition.
