2011 Chevrolet Aveo Review

Before launching the very successful Cruze, Chevrolet Aveo has been the best selling car in the world. A new Chevrolet Aveo will be sold in the summer of 2011 and is designed to enhance the success of the board in the small car market very competitive. Is proposed as a five-door hatch and a sedan, every trip features excellent handling and a sporty and sophisticated, and the livability and energy efficiency.

Equally at home on a daily commute for work or weekend, to lead the country, the Aveo is an irresistible choice for young and less young, style-conscious drivers - and will complement the exciting new Chevrolet models will be launched throughout 2011 Anniversary Chevrolet.

"It 'an exciting time to be a Chevrolet: Not only do we have the new labeling, and a compact MPV class, the Chevrolet Aveo, we have a brand new car that is ready to compete against the best in the small car segment, which is also the largest segment of Europe, "said Wayne Brannon, president and CEO of Chevrolet Europe.

The latest version of the Chevrolet Aveo is a brand new car, which includes a completely renovated the exterior and the interior cabin, a new chassis and body structure, and updated the range of fuel, the engines at low emissions.
 

2011 Chevrolet Aveo

Chevrolet Aveo is designed to make driving dynamics of every day a small car and a pleasant experience, but at the same time offers a practical, pragmatic solutions and value. To ensure the management, engineers developed a completely new design Aveo, which is a rigid class.

It comes with a sporty exterior design language that speaks of the global Chevrolet, a brand new Chevrolet Aveo appeals to young and young at heart. This applies to both body styles, but especially in the five-door hatchback, its aggressive, flowing body care products. At the same time, a completely new four-door version to convey a more mature, they feel a high level. Fair is aimed at young families in particular.

"Many regions in Europe, mainly in parts of southern and eastern small sedans plays an important role, because they are often purchased in families where the car is the only economy," said Wayne Brannon, explains the meaning Chevrolet Aveo sedan's within a range of products.

A walk along the road holding

Discover the new Chevrolet Aveo sporty driving is key to the appeal of the car. This is an exceptionally rigid body-frame structure integral with the upper body and chassis designed as a single unit, providing more efficient and more rigid mass. The steels used in the new Aveo has a tensile strength much higher, which improves the safety of passengers.

McPherson front suspension with stabilizer bar and coil springs, torsion axle, fitted and made link type rear suspension provides hardened, stable ride. Excellent feedback for the driver of the vehicle is improved electronic stability control (ESC) and a column mounted electric power steering (EPS), which is available on models equipped with 1.2-liter gasoline or 1.3-liter turbo-diesel. This is a sophisticated support system includes a wear compensating control to ensure consistently accurate as the age of the vehicle.

Meanwhile, the Chevrolet Aveo tight body-frame integral structure is also essential to the security features of the car. In the case of an accident, will generally be able to carry 4.2 times the weight of the vehicle. A carefully coordinated set of sensors are connected to six airbags which are standard in Europe, with a four-channel anti-lock braking (ABS) with Brake Assist. In addition, the driver can activate the cruise control with speed limiter. When the maximum speed is reached, the system triggers an alarm.

Chevrolet Aveo also offers a calm, relaxed driving experience. Noise control has sometimes resulted in a fine performance loss by 10 to 40 percent larger than previously used materials and techniques.

Two distinctive body styles

New Chevrolet Aveo exterior design brings a fresh breath of youth and sports sector. At the front, Aveo is a large, dual-port grille bowtie central location to identify as soon as the Chevrolet.

A key signature that distinguishes the Chevrolet Aveo is its presentation, moto-inspired headlights, with no lens cover. They are housed in tubes in duplicate, with dark glasses and high-gloss chrome rings. Pronounced wheel arch forms, 114 mm gap between the roof rails and short overhangs emphasize the backdoor planted, posture said.

As stated in the Chevrolet Spark, the rear hatchback door handles have been placed at the top of the door creates a coupe-like appearance. The sedan is not the lens taillamps, and play in harmony with the style of the car's front end. Instead, the tail lights of the sedan are enveloped by a double-element lens, which provides a touch of chic and elegant, aerodynamically sophisticated sedan. Chevrolet Aveo sedan is 360 mm longer than the sedan, which measures 4,039 mm in length.

All wheels have five spokes Chevrolet in design and are available in sizes and styles: 15-inch alloy steel and alloys, as well as 16 inches and 17 inches.

Sophistication in sports

A high degree of detail used in the design of the interior of the Chevrolet Aveo has led to a run higher-end vehicles typically seen in the upper segment. At the same level of finish, there is no difference in the design or style of the sedan and hatchback.

The Chevrolet Aveo is distinctive double cab is derived from the Chevrolet Corvette - a sports car world's most iconic. It has a distinctive design element of another - a script that flows surround the driver and the passenger door. To the left and right, Roundabouts proposed weatherization surface of the dashboard.

Dashboard can still bring a theme apparent motion towards the outside, with a round speedometer and a digital display. Ice blue backlighting adds an elegant contemporary atmosphere in the cabin.

Features storage so smartly designed Chevrolet Aveo attention to detail. With two glove boxes, one with an integrated USB connector, various small compartments and pockets door, and three cupholders in front, with lots of storage space for items in different sizes. All electronic devices mounted in the upper glove box can be operated via the steering wheel or radio interfaces.

Trunk sedan offers 502 liters of cargo volume, is ranked among the best in its class, corresponds to 653 gallons can be stored in the back of the tailgate, the rear seat is folded - more than sufficient for a weekend or state before the Mall.

Powerful engines and fuel

Fuel efficiency and driving pleasure, which creates a small footprint were key criteria guide the design of the range Chevrolet Aveo engine. 1.6-liter gasoline engine (115 hp) gives Aveo offers strong acceleration and an immediate sense of performance while driving at low speeds.

The range includes two versions of 1.2 liter petrol worth 70 hp and 86 hp respectively, a 1.4-liter unit (100 hp) and a 1.6 liter engine (115 hp). Starting this fall, the new Chevrolet Aveo is also offered with a 1.3-liter turbo-diesel - the first of a small Chevrolet in Europe - with the technology of common rail fuel injection Start / Stop and variable geometry turbocharger.

The 1.2-liter, 1.4 liter and 1.6 liter four-cylinder petrol engines feature dual overhead cams and variable valve timing. Its cylinder block cast iron is based on a hollow frame structure. 1.2 liters and 1.4 liter engines have a cast iron frame provides a rigid structure, resulting in quieter engine operation and smooth. The 1.6 liter engine has a timing belt teeth have a change interval of every 10 years or 160,000 miles.

Fuel consumption in combined cycle is 5.1 litres/100 km version of the 86 hp 1.2-liter and 6.6 liters per 100 km case, 1.6-liter engine, in combination with manual transmission. Ecotec 1.2-liter gasoline emits 119 g CO2 per kilometer.

The Aveo is the first Chevrolet small car to sport a six-speed automatic transmission. One of its main advantages is the location of tools, devices that were placed on the same axis as the axis of the engine crankshaft. Among the benefits of this change is a short train, a lower hood line and increased livability.

Ride & Handling

The Chevrolet Aveo offers a comfortable ride and handling characteristics that are designed to match the best in the segment. This is a car developed for global markets, but the engineers about the Aveo specifically to carry out the tastes of European customers, giving a sportier feel and balance of the vehicle for a wide range of driving conditions.

Corsa Chevrolet Aveo is a hardened, stable and comfortable on virtually all road surfaces. It 'fun to drive, Vehicle Dynamics when the display is usually associated with cars in higher price ranges. In addition, a number of improvements to its structure and design of transmission systems has led to a vehicle that is very quiet.

A tight frame for the safe route command

Step 2525 mm, in combination with a large 1,509 mm, front and rear tracks, leaving the Chevrolet Aveo firmly planted an attitude that favors balanced driving experience. An essential condition for the stability and security the way it seems to be very tight body-frame integral (BFI) structure that, among the strictest in the world of small-car segment. The entire structure of the vehicle, spot welds are used 10 percent more, while others have chosen to build a new steel Aveo has a tensile strength over 1000 MPa or higher - twice as strong as seen in the 340-550 MPa previous generation.

The main chassis rails basis of continuous back and forth with great force. An assembly of long, six engine cradle helps reduce noise levels and smooth driving dynamics and handling. Specially optimized engine mounts - including a hydraulic power - have adapted to the motor shaft torque inherently capable of interrupting the transmission of vibration and noise. This configuration can also control the transfer of momentum, resulting in improved dynamic balance.

Integrating a strong body structure suspension are tuned to meet the ride and handling characteristics. All models feature front suspension with MacPherson struts, coil springs, stabilizer bar and semi-load-compensation modules for the A-pillars. These are designed to reduce friction in the riser is characterized by the majority of the bending load suspension geometry. Load compensation side, in turn, allows the front wheels can be moved further away, which is a key way to improve stability.

The rear suspension includes a handle composed specially adapted (torsion bar), with a double-walled tubular profile of the beam V-shaped struts with gas-charged. This design combines the advantages of a conventional torsion beam - small footprint - with low weight and consistent camber control. Thank you the dimensions compact rear suspension, fuel tank of 46 liters is placed between the rear wheels, so a lower position mounting seats for a better overall balance of the vehicle.

Sophisticated noise reduction

More rigid structure will also facilitate the isolation of transmission and suppression of road and wind noise. Because of the drag coefficient of 0.30, the Chevrolet Aveo is a great wind noise classification of the road at a speed of 40.5 decibels. Special damping mats, which are tailored to each packet transmission, it reduces the transmission of high frequency sound. Other measures aimed at achieving a peaceful, pleasant level of comfort in the cabin, among other things, the use of thicker glass windshields and windows, and the application of composite nylon baffles in several attacks and appeared to be a structural or a resin covered on the underside of the hood.

Liquid-applied sound-absorbing (LASD), to melt, the patches are strategically applies to the interior of the body structure, lower damping interfaces that can resonate over time. Compared to more conventional adhesive material applied to damping, these patches is almost completely the regions are applied. As a result, LASD reached 10-40 percent higher in the performance of adhesively applied damping materials.

A small turning circle of support systems and advanced driving

A number of electronic systems help the driver maneuver the Chevrolet Aveo in traffic everyday driving situations more difficult. Turning circle measures a tight 10.1 feet curb to curb, and less than three turns lock to lock, which is among the best in the segment. In 1.2 and 1.3 liter diesel cars with a riser system for electric power steering (EPS) available, which saves fuel compared to a pump motor power steering. Action to ensure precise control over the life of the system, a trim wear continuously adjusts its interaction with the steering gear. GM-developed the technology which is a refinement unusual in the segment.

The standard electronic stability control (ESC) can apply individual brakes selectively to prevent oversteer and understeer and helps the driver maintain control. It also ensures more accurate system performance anti-lock control and traction and yaw stability.

Chevrolet Aveo is equipped with four-channel anti-lock brakes (ABS), which is used for wheel speed sensor input data to shorten braking distances. Advanced control device during movement of braking with Brake Assist System (BAS) allows a more effective emergency braking. Integrated electronic brake force distribution (EBD), brake pressure for the size of the system.

The front disc and rear drum brakes are standard as well as brake pads low compressibility. Ventilated front brakes have 54 or 60 mm steel piston calipers, depending on the transmission, while the rear, 19 or 20.6 mm piston-cylinder of steel.

Appearance

In accordance with its agility, its sporting history, the all-new Aveo have a focused, confident appearance. All angles, depending on the redesigned Chevrolet Aveo sedan and five-door models the external forms which transmits the strength, stability and sportiness. A 114 mm gap between the roof rails and the line of the shoulders, with a gauge of 1509 mm and pronounced wheel arches, providing a confident, grounded posture. Progressive, raked the lines of the body involve the provision and suggests that the rapid movement, even when the car is stationary.
 

2011 Chevrolet Aveo

"The new Aveo is the modern face of Chevrolet sports worldwide," said Kim Taewan, vice president of design, GM Korea. "This is a car that represents and appeals to the sense of the young generation of style and allows them to express their individuality while experiencing a vehicle that is fun to drive."

The five-door hatchback and four-door sedan share a number of design features that immediately identify it as a Chevrolet. One of the most striking external feature is the large dual-port grille. It consists of honeycomb inserts in matt black grille and chrome surrounds luxury ports above LT and LTZ. The badge is a symbol of the center position and size the cross-bar separating the ports from the grill top and bottom. Also located on the tailgate, with acrylic finish, coated with a crisp complicated three-dimensional appearance.

A design element that distinguishes the new Chevrolet Aveo is its presentation, round headlights. Lack the protection of traditional aims and were inspired by the light is on motorcycles. Two double tubes with chrome rings, high gloss and sunglasses, using four reflector lamps, providing a bright light in the face of the vehicle. Glasses falls outside molded gray finish and fog house of lights (at the top only).

Bonnet has a subtle wrinkle in the middle and outboard strong scallops, passing the hat, so that the hood line swept forward, aggressive appearance. Later in the standings online hat and the Chevrolet Aveo is steeply raked windshield leads to a bold, aerodynamic look.

All wheels have five spokes Chevrolet in design and are available in 15-inch steel and 15, 16 and 17 inch alloy styles.

Chevrolet Aveo hatchback, coupe appearance with a five-door functionality

Meanwhile hatchback and sedan to speak a language of design that appeals to the young and young at heart, their forms differ in several important respects. The five-door hatchback is a tight, two packing crates, with aggressive lines based on the diving front and rear overhangs and short. A strong shoulder line dramatically extends from the top of the gases in the front wheel arches. It works in conjunction with the side of scallops at the bottom of the body, accentuating the forward motion of the dynamics of the sedan.
 

2011 Chevrolet Aveo

Another distinctive Cue Chevrolet sedan's rear door handles, which are almost invisible at the top of the door behind the glass. Just as the Chevrolet Spark small, resulting in a three-door five-door looks and functionality. The front door handles are molded, black, and the basic patterns and body-color-matched on the LT and LTZ models. Chrome beltline moldings can be found on LTZ models.

The glass tailgate is bent at the outer edges of moving in unison with the hindquarters of the vehicle - a level of sophistication usually found in high-end segments. A standard spoiler, body the same color to improve aerodynamic performance along the upper perimeter and the side of the rear window.

Look like headlights, taillights are set in the pillory, and consist of two elements reflector is framed by a glossy black frame and chrome rings - a contrast that plays were considered compatible with the implementation of the front of the vehicle.

An upscale, elegant presence for Chevrolet Aveo Sedan

Chevrolet Aveo sedan hatchback shares the determination, a quick glance, but it contains several features that contribute to a more sophisticated and mature in appearance. And 'longer and wider (4399 mm x 1735 mm) than its predecessor, but its core is a load capacity of 502 liters - 102 liters of growth of the previous model.

"Although the basic architecture of the car has been designed for both versions, the Chevrolet Aveo sedan is not just an extended version of the sedan. The profile of the saloon is no frills, but sophisticated. Its short trunk lid, compact corresponds to the general proportions of the car, while the inner two and the trunk offers efficient use of space, "said Kim Taewan, commenting on the design language of the Chevrolet Aveo sedan.

A back-curving roof, which leads to some "on set" upper rear quarter, providing a visual suggestion of the sedan has the wind cutting sleekness. Rear window was extended to the front of the car, resulting in improved rear headroom occupant refined aerodynamics and overall visibility.

A small spoiler is integrated into the top rear of the trailing edge of the trunk lid to improve air circulation. Unlike the flagship event on tailgate, rear lights lead the Chevrolet Aveo sedan a lens into two parts. The red lens leads the eye to the white back light lenses. The result is a more upscale aesthetics expected of a sedan. The rear bumper is a mold in the lower rear spoiler that helps Chevrolet Aveo sedan is already excellent aerodynamics.

Both the sedan and hatchback sports a touchpad on the tailgate actuator, which contributes to smooth, refined action of opening.

Precision work: gaps minimized in body panels and welds

The fit and finish outside of the new Chevrolet Aveo illustrate the attention to detail evident throughout the vehicle. Door to door, door-to-fender, hood to fender, and the lamp to fascia holes, for example, every 3.5 mm or less.
 

2011 Chevrolet Aveo

In addition, all surfaces are free from unnecessary or coating applications, offering a no-frills, pure appearance. Secondary areas, such as areas around the rings seen in the entrance and exit of the vehicle have been stylized to look for color, finish. This was achieved through welding techniques that ensure a clean surface in these areas and minimize the joints between the plate and improve protection against corrosion.

Interior Design

A small car with exceptional performance and handling, and clear, youthful appearance, the new Aveo also challenges competitors with style, user-friendly cockpit. Crafts and interior refinements are designed to engage the passengers with everything they see, touch or hear.

"The Chevrolet Aveo is packed with features that customers do not expect in this class. This is what the value of money is," said Wayne Brannon, president and CEO of Chevrolet Europe.

The interior emphasizes the performance of

Sportiness and elegance characterize the interior layout and details of the Aveo. The new Chevrolet Aveo features dual cockpit theme of signing, originally a trademark of the Corvette, one of the most famous American sports car. Another important part of the cabin design is a wrap-around dashboard. Scroll bars in the doors.

In the middle of the instrument panel is available in titanium or dark red brick and has a plastic injection-molded low-gloss texture of a technical three-dimensional cultures. At the same time, the top of the door panel and the upper surface is black. Right and left, the instrument cluster, air conditioning (HVAC) outlets protrude from the surface of the panel. Non-woven fabrics used for the manufacture of the headliner, and the traditional atmosphere of applications that are more common in the segment.

Moto-inspired instrument panel in the continuation of the theme for the vehicle from the outside. It includes a round analog speedometer located inside an LCD display asymmetrical, with a large digital display. Both the instrumentation and the integrated center stack design is a Chevrolet-lit ice blue backlighting environment, a more sophisticated look.

The three-spoke steering wheel is in keeping with the theme of sporty sophistication. Finished in metallic silver on the bottom and spoke leather trim around the circumference is standard on LTZ models, while the cruise control with speed limiter is available in all versions.

Storage options, convenient and discreet

Both the five-door hatch and four-door sedan models of the Chevrolet Aveo offers generous cargo space. This includes a drawer under the rear seat and a storage compartment under the cargo floor (sedan). The boot of the sedan is 502 liters, while the tailgate is 290 liters with five rear seats upright it. When the rear - a design 60/40 - folded, the trunk has a storage capacity of 653 liters. The front seat travel is among the best in the segment: 189 mm front and 54 mm rear, 28 mm and 37 mm down.
 

2011 Chevrolet Aveo

The central part of the upper side is the glove box with two compartments and sales channels and USB connectivity tools discreet on iPod, smart phones and other electronic devices. They can be used through the steering wheel or radio interfaces. Secondly, a large storage compartment with a lid is muted and quiet.

Large storage pockets on both sides of the upper dashboard center console with easy to reach storage areas for mobile phones, CDs and many other items. Three are cupholders in the center console, two for front passengers and another for the rear seat area.

Comfort and connectivity tailored to meet the different needs

The tastes and comfort requirements can vary significantly, so people use modern communication and entertainment. Chevrolet Aveo designers have variations. Space is available in three trim levels, painted to match the color based on the average of the instrument panel. Heated seats are optional on LT and LTZ.

Two configurations of the radios with four or six speakers and auxiliary device control is available. The audio system is capable of playing personal devices such as iPod or via radio or steering wheel controls. Uplevel radio offers USB / iPod and Bluetooth connectivity for wireless devices and also allows hands-free operation.

Air conditioning is available on the Aveo and comes as standard equipment, depending on the model or sales region. Includes a standard air filter for contaminants.

Engines and transmissions

Today, a new car, especially a new entry on the small car segment is expected to offer excellent fuel efficiency and low carbon footprint with high performance and durability.

"Perhaps never before fuel economy was so important to customers in their new car. Chevrolet Aveo fuel is competitive on the edge, without compromising performance, "said Wayne Brannon, president and CEO of Chevrolet Europe.

The Ecotec 1.2-liter and 1.4 gasoline engines make their debut in the new Aveo, while a new 1.3-liter turbo-diesel will be the first diesel in a small Chevrolet in Europe. He made his debut this fall and is equipped with a high performance common rail injection and advanced, the variable geometry turbocharger with intercooler, electronically controlled.
 

2011 Chevrolet Aveo

1.2L fuel efficient gasoline engines and 1.4L

With the introduction of the new voices of the family of GM small engines, transmissions benefit from the Chevrolet Aveo range of accessories that look very good performance and excellent longevity is expected.

The engine block engine "is based on a hollow structure with a framework built of cast iron. This rigid foundation provides exceptional balance, sweetness and a quieter ride. Engineers also managed to increase the compression ratio of 10.5:1 to, increasing fuel consumption and emissions.

Both engines 1.2 and 1.4 liter of gasoline has double overhead camshafts and variable valve timing. The design of the four-valve head provides increased air flow and optimized cooling and portals. Depending on engine speed and operating conditions, valve timing can be adjusted for optimum performance over a wide range of engine speeds while reducing fuel consumption.

Key features contributing 1.2 and durability and overall performance 1.4-liter engine 'has been improved oil circulation. This was achieved by combining the oil / water heat exchanger, which allows the largest stages on cooling and maintaining the pressure drop to a minimum. Strand and lightweight aluminum cylinder head is dedicated to improving the lubricating oil holes for the cam phase. Piston cooling oil jets also improve the lubricating oil, which increases engine life.

Other highlights include a drive motor of 6.3 mm silent chain, an exhaust manifold with stainless steel built-in catalyst.

The gasoline engine of 1.2 liters, which should be the largest volume in the range Aveo gives 86 hp and 115 Nm of torque at 4000 rpm. Performance figures for the 1.2 liter engine, when combined with manual transmission, has a top speed of 183 km / h and a 0-100 km / h in 13.6 seconds. Fuel consumption with manual transmission in the combined cycle is 5.1 litres/100km while emissions are 119 g CO2 per kilometer. The gasoline engine 1.4-liter delivers 100 hp and 130 Nm of torque at 4000 rpm.

1.6-liter gasoline engine for better performance

Chevrolet Aveo petrol engine 1.6-liter is rated at 115 hp. Not only is the 1.6-liter engine has more displacement to give more power, it also supports a maximum torque of 155 Nm robust, providing strong acceleration Aveo features and an immediate sense of performance while driving at low speed.

Such as 1.2 and 1.4 liter engines, the 1.6-liter comes with a cable-cast-iron block and cylinder head is aluminum. Despite the growing complexity, weighs less than three percent compared to previous generations of the same family of engines, while the increased stiffness and structural strength shown. In fact, the weight of the cylinder block was reduced by 20 percent compared to the provision of the previous generation engine.

1.6 liter engine is equipped with a 16-valve dual overhead cam head. It also uses dual continuously variable valve timing, and shares the use of piston-cooling oil jets, and the oil cycle to optimize features, similar to that of 1.2 and 1.4 liter engines.

In addition, 1.6-liter engine benefits from improved water circuit, and thermal management systems. Cylinder head has been redesigned and significantly improved heat transfer and distribution of water. Calculate the cooling water temperature increases due to increased fuel efficiency less friction and heat the block and the cylinder walls.

Other improvements include a crankshaft sensor which is the first of these engines. Mounted on the cylinder seal crankshaft and the crankshaft position measurements at any time, allowing more flexible and efficient operation. The Chevrolet Aveo 1.6 liter gasoline engine has a timing belt change interval every 10 years or 160,000 miles.

When combined with manual transmission, 1.6 liter petrol allows the Chevrolet Aveo to reach a top speed of 189 km / h. The acceleration is estimated at 11.3 seconds (0-100 km / h). It is a combined cycle fuel consumption is 6.6 litres/100 km. Emissions are 156 g / km.

A completely new range of six-speed automatic transmission is a

A five-speed manual transmission is standard with the 1.2 and 1.4 liter engines, while the higher-capacity transmission five-speed manual is mated to the 1, 6 liter. A GM Hydra-Matic six-speed automatic is optional on models with 1.4 liter and 1.6 liter engines, while a gearbox six-speed manual will be available exclusively with the 1.3 liter turbo-diesel more later this year.
 

2011 Chevrolet Aveo

Both five-speed manual use a single piece, lightweight aluminum, and a triple-cone synchronizers for first and second gears, which contribute to a softer commitment to a low gear and easier to start and transfer features. High-capacity five-speed manual, roller bearings for all gears leads to low friction gear verkotustyökalujen, when moving into nicer.

The Hydra-Matic six-speed automatic transmission is available with 1.4 liters and 1.6 liters engines represents the first application of a Chevrolet six-speed automatic transmission front wheel of a small car.

With the unique design automatically sets all gears located on the same axis as the axis of the engine crankshaft, which makes the unity of the whole powertrain short and ideal for packing in the Chevrolet Aveo.

Thank you for a wide overall ratio spread of 6.00:1, six-speed Hydra-Matic allows you to run "steep" first, as well as Overdrive "long" Top Gear, which makes highway cruising at low speeds, and reduces fuel consumption and vibration.

Security

Growing traffic volumes and limited amounts of space means that even the most skilled, experienced and careful drivers may face the possibility of a crash in certain circumstances. Safety of residents is a primary goal for automotive engineers. The new Aveo is equipped with a host of advanced security and electronic control systems designed to make one of the safest cars in the small car segment.

The backbone of the security design is the Chevrolet Aveo body structure provided by an exceptionally strong integrated framework (BFI). BFI design is a unit of frame rails welded long-term, high-strength safety cage. Soldiers tubular members are used to frame the door openings and support the roof, while members of the reinforced steel doors.

High strength steels provide rigid body structure

More than 60 percent of the structure of the body, and six points mounted subframe, the use of high strength steel. Ultra-high steel are strategically integrated into the front of the rocker and the crossbar in the center. The engine cradle Aveo distributes energy in the front and side impact. It is still a structural element that helps to optimize occupant safety. With the system of front bumper and engine compartment rails, engine cradle bars absorbs most of a frontal collision.

Front zip and reinforced areas A and B-pillar to help maintain the integrity of the cabin. In the event of rollover, if the accident, the roof must withstand the forces that are less than four times the weight of the car. Engineers have also reduced the injuries to lower extremities equipping the new Chevrolet Aveo with the release of the pedal.

The vehicle is configured to encapsulate and effectively protect the fuel tank. A strong beam suspended out a lot of rockers for greater impact, after the rear longitudinal rails are crushed.

Intelligent Sensor Suite, six standard airbags

A set of sensors that monitor the spread of six standard air bags are mounted in the structure of the Aveo. Center line of the vehicle includes the detection and diagnosis module. When receiving data from vehicle sensors to determine the severity of the impact electronic unit and whether to install airbags. In Europe, the Chevrolet Aveo, driver and front passenger airbags, roof rail airbags and side airbags as standard.

The amount B is equipped with two sensors side effects that quickly took rail airbags airbags and seat-mounted thorax and seatbelt pretensioners. If the Aveo is built into the sensors detect that the vehicle "tip up" on a flat road, the brakes to reduce the lateral force.

When activated, the Chevrolet Aveo is cruise control with speed limiter allows the driver to set a maximum speed and the system triggers an alarm when that speed is reached. The optional Park Assist Ultrasonic warns the driver by an acoustic signal of the proximity of people or objects placed directly behind the Aveo. Meanwhile, an immobilizer offer a degree of security against car theft.

Reducing the risk for pedestrians

All five seats have three-point front seat belts with seat belts with pretentioners. The rear seats have child seat crash. Possible collision with a car of pedestrians was also a sense of security engineers who participated in the planning of the Chevrolet Aveo. The system includes a bumper of energy that surrounds the bumper. Elements is designed to reduce the power of the potential impact.

Another important source of serious injury in car-pedestrian accidents are the secondary collision with the engine block. Therefore, a greater distance between the cap and hinge structure connecting the engine block and was admitted to the new Chevrolet Aveo.
