Chevrolet to launch a new Aveo three door version at the Geneva auto show

By Our Corporate Bureau | 21 Feb 2008

Chevrolet plans to unveil a stylish three door version of the new Aveo Supermini at the 2008 Geneva Auto Show, which opens in March.

This new beauty from the house of General Motors will join the five door Aveo, showcased at the 2007 Frankfurt auto show. The five-door will reach European markets in May, the three-door in June.

In Europe, the car will be built in Chevrolet's new production facility in Warsaw, Poland. This facility is about to begin full-scale production of the Aveo, a model expected to become Chevrolet's best-selling model line across Europe.

The car will be powered by a 1.2-litre engine with CO2 emissions of 132g/km. Key features will include oversized headlamps, bold bumpers and prominent badging on the split grille's body-coloured cross beam.
