Chevrolet has recently introduced the new Chevrolet Aveo family sedan, which will go on sale across China in June, 2o14. Jointly created by GM’s global design network, including the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Centre (PATAC) in Shanghai, the new Aveo sedan features Chevrolet’s new signature design language – “Designed with a Heartbeat.”

The front end has an upper chrome grille and newly designed front fascia. It features Chevrolet’s signature dual-port grille, which is higher and wider than in the present model, for a more striking visual impact. Headlamps are fully integrated into the upper grille, with dynamic accents that create a sharp and fascinating visual impact.

The distinctive grille features the same gold bowtie as the new-generation Cruze. Meanwhile, the vehicle’s spot-lights with chrome accents as well as an upscale matte black base create a subtle floating effect that complements the rest of the front end styling.

Belt lines extend outward from the middle of the sedan, where they converge at the slightly raised rear spoiler, balancing aesthetics with aerodynamics. This gives the vehicle a wide-looking stance that is in line with the aesthetic preferences of Chinese car buyers.

In addition, the new Aveo has stylish metal accents and body-coloured side mirrors with built-in turn signals that provide a premium look. 16-inch Bridgestone tyres and new 8-spoke wheels completes the overall look.

At the back, new horizontally sculpted lines converge with butterfly-shaped taillights that have a bowl design. This enhances the visual impact and sense of width. The design also has a concealed exhaust pipe design, which is rarely seen in small cars.

Under the hood, the Aveo retains the same 1.4-litre DVVT engine coupled with 6-speed manual gearbox.
