Vehicle Highlights

Sedan versions of Chevrolet's smallest car get revised body work for 2007. Aveo sedans retain the wheelbase of 2004-2006 models, but are 3 inches longer overall and have freshened exterior and interior styling. The Aveo 4-dr hatchback is called Aveo5 for '07, but it repeats the styling and features of the 2004-2006 model. LS trim returns for both body styles. The base SVM model now comes only as a hatchback. The sole engine is a 103-hp 4-cyl with a 5-speed manual transmission or optional 4-speed automatic. Front side airbags are standard; curtain side airbags are unavailable. SVM and LS models have 14-inch wheels; 15s are optional on LS hatchbacks, standard on LT. Newly standard on sedans is a digital audio player plug-in. Optional are ABS and sunroof.
