Chevrolet tried to make its presence on the European market as long as possible and offered a budget vehicle based on the old Daewoo platform.
While the Daewoo brand was phased-out from the European market, Chevrolet took its place and introduced the Aveo/Kalos lineup as a bigger brother for the Chevrolet Spark, formerly known as Daewoo Matiz. Giugiaro Studios penned the new lineup, and it was available as a four-door sedan or a three- and five-door hatchback.
It was considered a good city vehicle for a family that needed a car to take them back and forth from their work and leave the kids at the school in the process in its five-door version. Its narrow, horizontal headlights were complemented at the bottom by a set of bumper-mounted turn signals. An additional turn-signal found its place on the front fenders. Chevrolet knew how to attract its customers and played it safe with body-colored door handles and mirrors.
Inside, it was room enough for four adult-sized passengers of average European height (1.75m – 5.75 ft). The tall and slim seats allowed enough legroom for the rear passengers. Thus, despite the short wheelbase, the Kalos/Aveo hatchback provided enough legroom for the rear occupants.
Under the hood, Fiat installed a choice of four engines, depending on the market. Their power ranged between 71 hp and 105 hp. A 4-speed automatic was on the options list for specific models, while the standard gearbox featured a 5-speed manual.
