The new Chevrolet Aveo sedan: more versions than the hatch, cheaper than state employees Hyundai and Kia

The four-door will go on sale in three trim levels, while the hatchback has two. The technology is the same for the whole family.

The world premiere of the fresh five-door and Chevrolet Aveo sedan took place last spring: they are only presented in Mexico so far, the hatch started there in the spring. Now, the local division of General Motors has announced prices and equipment for the four-door version. Recall that as a new generation Aveo, the company is positioning cars developed together with its longtime Chinese partner, SAIC. Production has been established in the Celestial Empire. By the way, the hatchback was previously lit up there under the local brand Wuling (part of the joint venture of the American and Chinese concerns), but the state employee has not yet appeared in the gamut of this brand. But back to Aveo.

In Mexico, the sedan is available in three trim levels — LS, LT and LT Plus. The “five-door” has a similar line, but unlike the four-door Aveo, there is no cheapest hatch in free sale — it is offered only to corporate buyers. Be that as it may, all Aveos have six airbags, disc brakes, ABS, an 8-inch multimedia system and a rear-view camera by default. The top-of-the-line Aveo LT Plus adds two-tone 15-inch wheels, climate control and an additional USB port for rear riders. Neither fashionable now virtual tidy, nor LED headlights are provided for the model even for a surcharge (only running lights were made diode).
