Chevrolet Announces Pricing For 2009 Aveo And Aveo5
Chevrolet today announced pricing for the 2009 Aveo lineup – including the redesigned Aveo5 five-door hatchback – begins at $12,120 (including a $660 destination charge) for Aveo LS and Aveo5 LS, making it one of the most affordable cars on the market. It costs hundreds less than many competitors and comes standard with features such as side-impact air bags and OnStar.
Aveo is also one of the most efficient cars on the road, with estimated fuel economy ratings of 27 in the city and 34 on the highway (with the standard manual transmission). Aveo sedan and Aveo5 LT models start at $14,255 for 1LT trim and $15,520 for 2LT trim (including destination charges). Air conditioning is standard on LT models and an automatic transmission is available.
All Aveo and Aveo5 models are powered by a new, more powerful 1.6L Ecotec engine that uses variable valve timing and other technologies to deliver great fuel economy and responsive performance. Aveo models equipped with the available four-speed automatic transmission also deliver excellent highway mileage ratings of 34 mpg. City mileage ratings with the automatic are 25 mpg.
“Aveo’s value story has never been stronger,” said Ed Peper, Chevrolet general manager. “With great fuel economy from the new 1.6L Ecotec engine, bold styling and a hard-to-match roster of features, including standard OnStar, the Aveo and Aveo5 deliver exceptional value for customers who don’t want to sacrifice style and convenience for efficiency.”
The Aveo lineup offers a high-value combination of great styling and features not expected in the segment. Crisp, sculpted lines and a wide, confident stance define both the sedan and Aveo5 hatchback’s design. This broad-shoulder appearance is highlighted by premium cues, including three-dimensional, richly detailed headlamps that extend into the hood, available front fog lamps and bold taillamps that are set within jeweled bezels. Styling for the Aveo5 is all new for ’09, both inside and out.
All 2009 Aveo and Aveo5 models come standard with dual frontal and side-impact air bags, as well as front safety belt pretensioners, a tire pressure monitoring system, oil life monitoring system and OnStar. Available features include XM Radio, leatherette seating trim, steering wheel audio controls, a power-operated sunroof that retracts into the roof for improved aerodynamics, power-adjustable and heated outside mirrors and more.
The Aveo’s history of low ownership costs continue with strong ownership coverage. It has the best coverage in America, including Chevrolet’s five-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, roadside assistance and courtesy transportation.

for real, the 3-door is the only one i'd think of buying
I think I like the new Focus better. And yea I could of swore they were selling aveo's for like 10k a year or so ago.
1.6L ecotec??? So its not running the Daewoo engine anymore? Where did this thing come from?
Daewoo licensed the engine I believe, It's a GM Family 1 engine.

Could you elaborate? What parts does it share with the L61, if any? Same head, same block?
It used a GM-DAT engine... basically Daewoo based with colaboration with GM.
Now the new one is based off Europe's Ecotec... Picture Astra's engine with a smaller displacement.
Here is some info on the powertrain.
Supporting Aveo5’s responsive and economical driving experience is a new, Ecotec 1.6L DOHC four-cylinder powertrain. The sophisticated engine uses Dual Continuous Variable Cam Phasing – two continuously adjustable camshafts – to optimize the charge cycle for fuel economy and performance. As a result, this 16-valve DOHC engine delivers more horsepower than the previous engine, with ratings of 107 horsepower (80 kw)* and 106 lb.-ft. of torque (143 Nm)*, and nearly 8-percent improved fuel efficiency when compared to the previous Aveo5 model.
The new, 1.6L engine features additional technology highlights to improve fuel economy, quality, reliability and durability, including:
New four-in-one sheet metal exhaust manifold, with integrated catalytic converter and secondary underfloor catalytic converter
Engine oil cooler and piston oil squirters
New GM-corporate engine control system
Electronically controlled thermostat
Oil Life Monitoring System
Additionally, the engine is tuned for quieter performance, with a more pleasing sound during acceleration.
A smooth-shifting five-speed manual transmission is standard and an Aisin four-speed automatic with Hold Control Mode is available. Hold Control Mode is a special feature that helps reduce wheel spin and traction loss on slick roads by allowing the driver to select and hold a higher gear, thus reducing torque.

yeah 3dr woulda been nice
ive actually tossed the idea around of getting a old sprint or swift
Electronically controlled thermostat? Sounds like a dream and a nightmare all in one.
Obviously this is just another econo-engine...but it would be sweet with a GT28r and about 250whp...
OR
160bhp factory rating via high compression and valve timing ala 1999-2000 civic si.
As it is, I see no super-convincing reason to choose this over the astra base model...
Not doing it for me, but someone may like it.

City mileage ratings with the automatic are 25 mpg.
Sooo.. It's an ugly little car, inside and out, that gets horrible gas mileage for it's class/size? I mean 25mpg.. Crap.. Don't some V6 cars get better gas mileage than that?

Watching you parade around my bedroom in a thong was a little like watching sea lions mate.
^ I agree, 25 mpg city isn't worth the uglyness.
For being a new redesign that thing is very unimpressive... but it has to be better then rebadged Daewoo they sell now.
my buddies 300 gets 35 highway haha. 3.5LV6
