The next Aveo will trade in its dowdy duds for a sharp new set of threads and and a brand-new identity: the Sonic.
Available as a four door and a hatchback, the new Aveo boasts a far more aggressive grille split by the bowtie emblem, clean polished flanks and huge scowling headlamps. Chevy boasts that the new car has been turned by the same engineers who work on its flagship Corvette.
Engines remain as before; in the US, there'll be a turbocharged 138bhp 1.4-litre unit, but we're likely to get the 1.8-litre 135bhp motor that's also in the Cruze. Five and six-speed manuals will be available, but everyone will no doubt pick up the six-speed auto to maximise every last drop of fuel from this thrifty commuter.
“The all-new Chevrolet Sonic blends the practicality of a small car with the passion for driving that Chevrolet vehicles like the Corvette are known for,” said Chris Perry, vice president of Chevrolet marketing. “Its combination of great design, fun driving experience and the latest connectivity features create a serious competitor with a fun spirit.”
