New For 2009

2009 Chevrolet Aveo5

Quick Facts:
  • Estimated fuel economy ratings of 26 mpg city and 34 mpg highway (manual transmission).
  • Expected to be the least-expensive car sold in the United States.
  • Aveo5 hatchback joins recently redesigned Aveo sedan.

Chevrolet's smallest offering is adding another door for 2009.

The Aveo5 joins the recently redesigned Aveo sedan as Chevrolet's solution for folks who want a simple, small, no-fuss car. In fact, when it goes on sale, the new 5-door hatchback is expected to be the least-expensive car sold in the United States.

But that doesn't mean the Aveo5 is boring. With standard OnStar, optional XM Satellite radio and a peppy 107-horsepower 1.6 liter engine, the smallest Chevy offers plenty of fun.

“Customers will be surprised by the ‘big’ features of the Aveo5 – big room, big style, big refinement and, of course, big fuel economy,” said Ed Peper, Chevrolet general manager.

Speaking of fuel economy, the Aveo5 is estimated to go 26 miles on a gallon of gas in the city, and get 34 mpg on the highway with the 5-speed manual transmission. That translates into an average of more than 400 miles between fill-ups.
