2006 Chevrolet Aveo Overview

Introduction

Zippy performance and sharp steering make the Chevrolet Aveo fun to drive, while a decent ride and reasonably quiet cabin make for pleasant everyday transportation.

The Aveo comes in three trim levels, each of which is available in the four-door sedan and five-door hatchback body styles. All are powered by a 103-horsepower 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. A five-speed manual gearbox comes standard; an automatic is an option for LS and LT models. Safety features include optional anti-lock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution available for LS and LT. All models come with side-impact airbags and advanced dual-stage airbags that use Chevy's Passenger Sensing System.

For 2006, the Chevrolet Aveo gets a host of upgrades and refinements, including side-impact air bags as standard equipment and a retuned suspension.
