2011 Chevrolet Aveo

2011 Chevrolet Aveo. The experience of driving a sporty new Chevrolet Aveo is an important function that contributes to the attractiveness of the car. It consists of a rigid body structure is an integral frame, with the upper body and frame is designed as a single entity to provide the bulk structure rigid and more efficient. Advanced steel used on the new Aveo is significantly higher tensile strength, which increases passenger safety.

A McPherson front suspension with coil springs and stabilizer bars and a torsion beam rear suspension-mount link-type compounds give a ride, stable crust. Feedback is an excellent vehicle for the driver is enhanced by electronic stability control (ESC) and the column mounted electric power steering (EPS), which is available on models equipped with 1.2 liter gasoline or 1.3-liter turbo diesel. This advanced system consists of the compensator used to ensure consistently accurate control of the vehicle age.

Meanwhile, tight body-frame integral structure is the Chevrolet Aveo is also key to advance the safety car. In case of accident, the roof is in a position to 4.2 times the vehicle weight. A carefully calibrated set of sensors connected with six airbags as standard in Europe, along with a system of four-channel anti-lock braking (ABS) with brake assist. In addition, the driver activated cruise control with speed limiter function. When you set the maximum speed is reached, the system produces an alarm sounded.

Just as the Chevrolet Spark, the rear hatchback door handle is positioned to attract the top of the door, creating a coupe-like silhouette. The taillamps have no lens cover is hatchback and harmonious with the front-end of vehicle design. Instead, this sedan in the back surrounded by a double-element lens, giving a touch of chic to sleek, smooth aerodynamic sedan. Chevrolet Aveo Sedan is 360 mm longer than the hatchback, which measures 4039 mm long.

The instrument runs on a motorcycle theme clearly on the outside, with round speedometer and digital LCD reading. Ice-blue ambient backlighting adds look, contemporary style to the cabin.

Chevrolet Aveo was designed with clever storage facilities to increase the attention to detail. Together with two glove compartments, including one with integrated USB ports, a small compartment and bag a few doors, and three cup holders in front, providing enough storage space for items of various sizes. All electronic devices are mounted above the glove box can be controlled via steering wheel controls or the radio interface.

Stem sedan provides 502 liters of cargo volume, the ratings are one of the best in class, equivalent to 653 liters can be stored in the rear hatchback, when the rear seats folded - more than enough for a weekend or a previous trip to the mall.

Fuel efficiency and driving pleasure which creates a small ecological footprint, the main criteria to guide design of the Chevrolet Aveo engine lineup. 1.6-liter engine (115 hp) gives the acceleration Aveo features a strong and immediate sense of the performance at low speeds.

The range of gasoline engines includes two 1.2 liter version rated 70 hp and 86 hp or a 1.4 liter engine (100 hp) and 1.6-liter engine (115 hp). From the autumn of the new Chevrolet Aveo will be offered with 1.3-liter turbo-diesel - the first in a small Chevrolet in Europe - with fuel injection common-rail, start / stop technology and turbocharger with variable geometry.

Consumption on the combined cycle of 5.1 l/100 km for the version of the engine 86 hp 1.2 liter and 6.6 l/100 km in the case of 1.6-liter engine with manual transmission. Ecotec 1.2-liter gasoline will emit 119 grams of CO2 per km.

Chevrolet Aveo is the first small car sports a six-speed automatic transmission. One of the main benefits is the gear position is posted on the same axis with the engine crankshaft centerline. Among the benefits resulting from this change is a short drive, the lower hood and more interior space.

Chevrolet Aveo offers ride comfort and handling characteristics designed to match the best in its class. This is a car developed for global markets, but engineers Aveo is specifically designed to control the taste of customers in Europe, making it feel more athletic and balancing vehicle for different driving conditions.

Chevrolet Aveo Travel hardened, stable and comfortable on almost any road surface. It's fun to drive, during playback of Vehicle Dynamics are usually associated with cars in higher price ranges. In addition, several improvements in the design of structural systems and powertrain resulting in a very quiet vehicle.

A wheelbase of 2525 mm, with the front, width 1509 mm and rear track provide the Chevrolet Aveo ingrained attitudes, contribute to a balanced driving experience. A key factor for stability and confidence on the road feel, is a very tight body-frame integral (BFI) structure that is one of the most severe in the global small car segment. The whole structure of this vehicle is 10 percent more spot welds, while a few selected samples to build the new Aveo shows tensile strength over 1000 MPa or higher - twice as strong 340-550 MPa seen in previous generations.

major basic chassis' rails continue to run from front to back, giving great power. A long, six-mounted engine cradle helps lower noise and smooth ride and driving dynamics. Specially tuned engine mount - including the hydraulic mount - take into account the torque transmission shaft is attached is actually annoying vibrations and noise. This configuration also helps control the transfer of momentum, resulting in improved dynamic balance.

Completing a strong body structure, suspension system tuned for responsive ride and handling qualities. All models feature MacPherson front suspension with coil springs, stabilizer bar and side-load modules suitable strut-front. It is designed to reduce the load on the strut bending friction inherent in most suspension geometry. lateral load compensation, in turn, makes the front wheels to move further, it is key to achieve better stability.

Rear suspension is equipped with specially modified composite axle (torsion), with V-shaped profile double wall-beams with gas-charged shock absorber tube. This design combines the advantages of a conventional torsion beam axis - the minimum space requirements - with low weight and consistent camber control. The size is compact rear suspension, 46-liter fuel tank fits between the rear wheels, so that the mounting position under the seat to balance the larger vehicles overall.

Rigid structure also facilitates the isolation drivetrain and road and wind noise suppression. Because of the drag coefficient of 0.30, the Chevrolet Aveo has a noise figure very well wind 40.5 decibels at highway speeds. Special cushion mats, tailored to each specific powertrain package, acting as a reduction of high frequency sound transmission. Other measures aimed at achieving a peaceful cozy cabin comfort levels including the use of thick glass for windshields and windows, and the application of composite nylon baffles in the robbery of structural and various resin mold or a felt blanket on under the hood.

Liquid applied sound dampening (Lasden) by melting-on patches, strategic and applied to the inner body structure, lower damping interface that can resonate from time to time. Compared with more conventional adhesive damping material applied, this patch fits almost perfectly into the area which they applied. As a result, Lasden achieve 10 to 40 percent more damping on Applied Materials adhesive.

An array of electronic systems help drivers to maneuver through traffic Chevrolet Aveo and everyday situations more challenging. Turning diameter of 10.1 meters stringent measures to curb street-to-edge, and less than three turns lock-to-lock, which is the best in its class. In the 1.2 and 1.3 liter diesel engine equipped cars, a column mounted electric power steering (EPS) available, which will save fuel compared with a motor driven power steering pump. To ensure proper control actions on the lives of the system, a compensator used to modulate the interaction with the steering. This GM-patented technology is an engineering sophistication rare in this segment.

Standard electronic stability control (ESC) system to selectively apply individual brakes to balance oversteer and understeer that the driver maintain control. It also ensures more accurate, controlled performance from anti-lock system and traction extraordinary and yaw stability.

Chevrolet Aveo is equipped with four-channel ABS system (ABS), inputs from wheel speed sensors are used to reduce stopping distance. Improved control during braking maneuvers in conjunction with the Brake Assist System (BAS) provides efficient emergency. An integrated brake force distribution Electronic (EBD), the proportion of the braking system.

front disc and rear drum brakes are standard, along with low compressibility bearings. Ventilated front brake features 54 or 60 mm piston caliper steel, depending on the powertrain, while at the rear, 19 or 20.6 mm piston cylinder of steel that is used.

Exterior design. In line with the agile character, athletic, all-new Aveo has the look, decisive goal. From every angle, a redesigned Chevrolet Aveo sedan and five-door models are equipped with exterior shape that expresses strength, stability and sporty. A 114 mm offset between the roof rail and the shoulder line, with a measure of 1509 mm and pronounced wheel arches, give attitude, confident ground. Progressive, scooped up the body lines and established performance means fast motion, even when the car is stationary.

"The new Aveo is the modern face of Chevrolet sport worldwide," said Taewan Kim, Vice President, Design, GM Korea. "This is a car that represents and appeals to the younger generation a sense of style and allows them to express their personalities while enjoying a fun vehicle to drive."

Five-door hatchback and four-door sedan version has a number of design features that immediately identify as a Chevrolet. One of the most prominent appearance is big, dual-port grille. This consists of a honeycomb grille inserts in matt chrome rims black and in the harbor on the up-level LT and LTZ models. Icon badge carved in the middle position and the cross port grille separates the upper and lower. It is also located on the liftgate, which pitted a gold finish acrylic-wrapped to look, intricate three-dimensional.

One of the most distinctive design elements from Chevrolet's new Aveo is the exposure, lighting round. They are without a conventional lens and is inspired by lights seen on a motorcycle. Two double tubes with gloss black rims and chrome ring, bring the lamp reflector quad, so see glittering in the face of the vehicle. Lower outboard edge is finished in charcoal gray color and poured into the house the fog lights (top trim only).

The outside cover has a smooth and sharp midline fold clam paste, which runs to the front line of the chimney to the hood, looks aggressive. A more attached to the front line and cliff chimney windshield results in the expression of the Chevrolet Aveo, strong aerodynamics.

While both hatchback and sedan speak the language of the interesting designs for the young and young-at-heart, their shapes differ in several important aspects. Five-door hatchback comes in a slim package, two-box, with the aggressive features of diving and short overhangs. A pronounced shoulder line sweeping stretches from the back corner of the greenhouse to the front wing. Running parallel to the underside of the shells, advancing dynamic stresses hatchback.

Another cue is the typical Chevrolet hatchback rear door handle, which is almost invisible upper rear door glass. As in the Chevrolet Spark small, the result is a view similar to the three-door five-door functionality. The front-door handle gray-black color based on the model and body-color-match on LT and LTZ models. Chrome belt line list is also available on LTZ models.

The back is curved at the outer edge of the glass flowing along with the rear of the vehicle quarter - a level of sophistication usually found in more premium segment. A body color that matches the standard spoiler to improve aerodynamic performance run at the top and sides of the rear perimeter.

Stocks Chevrolet Aveo hatchback sedan is targeted, to see, but has a number of characteristics that contribute to the look, more luxurious adult. It is longer and wider (4399 mm x 1735 mm) than its predecessor, while the trunk has a capacity of 502 liters - 102 liters increased from the previous model.

"Although the basic architecture is designed for both versions of the car, the Chevrolet Aveo Sedan is not only stretched version of the hatchback. Profiles sedan is innocent, but fine. Boot, short compact relates to the overall proportion of the car while the two cabin passengers and luggage to provide efficient use of space, "said Kim Taewan, comments on the design language of the Chevrolet Aveo Sedan.

A sweeping roofline to the rear, leading to a little quarter "shelved" back up, providing visual suggestions smooth wind-cutting saloon. Rear window was extended to the front of the vehicle, so the rear passenger headroom improved ', aerodynamic sophistication, and greater overall visibility.

A little spoiler integrated into the edge of the rear deck lid further enhance air flow. Unlike the other rules in this hatchback, the rear of the Chevrolet Aveo Sedan features a dual-element lens. Red-eye lens leads to worsening white lens. The result is a more upscale aesthetics expected from the sedan. Rear fascia carrying the lower mold in a spoiler that contributes to an already good aerodynamic shape of the Chevrolet Aveo Sedan.

Fit and finish the exterior of the new Chevrolet Aveo illustrates attention to detail is evident throughout the vehicle. Door-to-door, door-to-fender, hood and fender gap-to-mild-to-fascia, for example, all 3.5 mm or less.

In addition, all surfaces are free of cladding or unnecessary applications and provide views, clean straightforward. secondary surface, such as areas that have a ring around the car door and exit, the stylish to flush, finished appearance. This is achieved by means of welding techniques that surface water in these areas and to ensure minimization of sealing joints between the sheet and improve protection against corrosion.

Interior Design. A small car with good performance and handling and looks, obviously a young, new Aveo is also the challenge of competing with the cabin, the user-passenger style. The interior workmanship and repairs are designed for passengers with everything they see, touch or hear.

Sporty and sophisticated interior layout features and details of the Aveo. An all-new Chevrolet Aveo, signature dual-cockpit theme, originally a trademark of the Corvette, one of the most iconic sports car America. Another important design element in the cabin is a wrap-around instrument panel. It flows from the dashboard to the door.

Center instrument panel is available in titanium or dark red brick and plastic-injection mold with a glossy surface layer of grain textured three-dimensional technical. Meanwhile, the instrument panel upper and upper surface of the door black. To the left and right instrument panels, round air-conditioning (HVAC) outlets pierced from the panel. Non-woven materials used to make the main non traditional applications are often felt in this segment.

The instrument cluster carries forward the theme that inspired motorcycle which was introduced by the outside of the vehicle. This includes round analog speedometer placed inside an LCD screen asymmetric, with a large digital display. Both the instrument panel and center console design that is integrated with the Chevrolet ambient light ice-blue backlighting, for a more luxurious appearance.

Both the five-door hatchback and four-door sedan models of the Chevrolet Aveo offers generous cargo room. These include the withdrawal of the drawer under the seat and a storage compartment under the floor (hatchback). Boot from the sedan is 502 liters, while the trunk has five 290 liters with rear seats upright. When the rear seat - 60/40 design - folded, hatchback, has a storage capacity of 653 liters. front seat travel is one of the best in the segment: 189 mm front rear 54 mm, 28 mm and 37 mm downwards.

The instrument panel has the center glove box with two compartments above and outlets for USB and enhancement, where the discrete connectivity iPods, smartphones and other electronic devices. They can be operated via steering wheel controls or the radio interface. A box, a large second glove having closed the attenuated for quiet operation.

large pockets on both sides of the upper instrument panel, center console provides easily accessible storage space for mobile phones, CDs and other items. Three cupholders are located in the center console: Two for the front and rear seating area.

Taste and convenience requirements can vary and so do the needs of people for modern communication and entertainment equipment. The designers of the Chevrolet Aveo has been applied to these variations. Seats are offered in three trim levels, colors that are coordinated by the center instrument panel. Heated seats are optional on LT and LTZ models.

Two configurations of the radio with four or six speakers and additional equipment available to operate. Audio system can play a personal device like an iPod, either through radio or steering wheel. Uplevel radios offer a USB / iPod connectivity and Bluetooth for wireless devices and also allows hands-free phone operation.

Air conditioning is available on Aveo, and are recommended as standard equipment, depending on the model or sales area. This includes standard air filtration system and pollutants.

Engine and transmission. Today, new cars, and in particular a new access to the small car segment is expected to fuel savings and low carbon very well together to offer, with good performance and durability.

"Probably never burn very important to customers in their new car. Economy Chevrolet Aveo fuel competitive across the board without sacrificing performance," said Wayne Brannon, President and Managing Director of Chevrolet Europe.

The 1.2 and 1.4 liter Ecotec gasoline engines make their debut in the new Aveo, while the diesel 1.3-liter turbo-new, first diesel in a small Chevrolet car in Europe. Debut this fall and has a high performance common-rail fuel injection systems and sophisticated, electronically controlled variable geometry turbocharger and intercooler.

With the introduction of new items for the family of GM's small-displacement engine, powertrain advantage of the Chevrolet Aveo from a series of strong performance improvement and expected high durable.

Engine cylinder block 'is based on hollow-frame construction, with cast iron base. The Foundation provides exceptional balance stiff, smooth and quieter ride. The engineers also managed to increase the compression ratio of 10.5:1, reducing fuel consumption and improve emissions.

Both 1.2 and 1.4 liter gasoline engine with dual-overhead camshafts and variable valve timing. Four-valve head design provides increased air flow and optimized cooling circuit and the inlet port. Depending on the speed of the motor and operating conditions, valve timing can be adjusted for optimal performance in a wide variety of rounds, while reducing fuel consumption.

Among the most important features that contribute at 1.2 and 1.4 liter engine durability and oil circulation overall improved performance. This is achieved through the integration of oil / water heat exchanger that creates and maintains maximum pressure interstage losses to a minimum. Lightweight aluminum cylinder block and cylinder head has dedicated lubricating oil drilling cam phasers improved. Piston cooling oil jet lubrication oil well, making the engine a long life.

Chevrolet Aveo 1.6 liter engine rated at 115 hp. Not only the 1.6-liter engine displacement greater power, also supports a maximum torque of 155 Nm strong, Aveo features a powerful acceleration and immediate feelings during eating low-speed performance.

Such as 1.2 and 1.4 liter engine, 1.6 liter has a hollow cast iron block and aluminum cylinder heads. Despite the complexity increases, it weighs less than three percent the previous generations of the same family of engines, while showing greater stiffness and structural strength. In fact, the weight of the cylinder block was reduced by 20 percent of the motor supply from the previous generation.

1.6-liter engine has a 16-valve cylinder head with double overhead camshafts. It also uses dual continuously variable valve timing and shares the use of piston-cooling oil jet and oil circuit optimization feature, similar to 1.2 and 1.4 liter engines.

In addition, 1.6-liter engine benefit from better water circuit and thermal management systems. The cylinder head has been redesigned to significantly improve heat transfer and distribution of water. Lower the temperature of cooling water is added to improve fuel efficiency by reducing friction and heat loss through the walls of the block and cylinder.

Further improvements include the crankshaft sensor was the first on this machine. It is set in a cylinder with crank shaft seal and the crankshaft position action at any time, thus allowing more efficient operation and smooth. Chevrolet Aveo 1.6 liter gasoline engine has a toothed timing belt to a change interval of 10 years or 160,000 miles.

Combined with a manual gearbox, 1.6 liter gasoline engine is the Chevrolet Aveo top speed of 189 km / h acceleration in 11.3 seconds assessed (0-100 km / h). Combined cycle fuel consumption is 6.6 l/100 km. Emissions 156 g / km.

A five-speed manual standard at 1.2 and 1.4 liter gas engine, while the higher capacity five-speed manual transmission associated with a 1.6 liter. A GM Hydra-Matic six-speed automatic optional on models with 1.4 liter and 1.6 liter engine, while the six-speed manual transmission will only be offered by year 1.3 liter turbo-diesel this later.
