2008 Chevrolet Aveo Models
The Aveo comes in two models and three trim levels. The Sedan offers the LS and LT trim whereas the Aveo5 offers the Special Value and LS. According to GM the Special Value trim is the Lowest-priced car in America! Based on MSRP of lowest-priced models. Level of equipment varies, but college bound adults will find this money saving and fuel efficient car very attractive.
Small in size, Big on fuel
This compact car made its debut in 2004 and has become a national best seller for Chevrolet, and a wise choice for budget minded consumers looking to cut back on fuel consumption without sacrificing style, features or passenger comfort.
Compact Cars Are Roomy
The interior of the Chevy Aveo was designed with comfort in mind. The taller cabin allows for great head space and an excellent view from the theater style seats in the rear of the vehicle. The Sedan has a little over 12 cubic feet of storage space in the trunk, but can be expanded by folding down the rear passenger and side passenger seats. The Aveo5 also has the fold down rear seat option and can carry up to 42 cubic feet of cargo storage.
Manual vs. Automatic
The Aveo has two options for the tranmsission. Automatic or a five speed manual shift, which comes standard. Both versions of the Aveo are powered by a 1.6 liter, four cylinder engine that produces 103 horsepower and 107 pound feet of torque!
