2010 Chevy Aveo

Body Styles, Trim Levels and Options

The 2010 Chevrolet Aveo is available at your Glenwood Springs Chevy dealer as either a sedan or a four-door hatchback, dubbed the Aveo5. Both body styles can sit five passengers and are offered in three trim levels, starting with the base LS, to the 1LT and 2LT. In base LS trim, the Aveo is equipped with 14-inch steel wheels, cloth upholstery, OnStar and a four-speaker AM/FM stereo with an auxiliary input jack.

Stepping up to the 1LT trim level adds air-conditioning and an upgraded six-speaker audio system with a CD/MP3 player. Options for the 1LT include remote key-less entry, power windows and door locks, cruise control and satellite radio. The 2LT includes the 1LT’s optional equipment along with 15-inch wheels, fog lamps, a trip computer, upgraded cloth upholstery, heated power side-view mirrors and steering-wheel-mounted audio controls.

Powertrains and Performance

Regardless of which Aveo trim level is specified, power is supplied by a 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine that makes 108 horsepower and 104 pound-feet of torque. A five-speed manual transmission is standard on all models, while a four-speed automatic is available as an option — on 1LT and 2LT variants.

In an effort to increase fuel economy, the Aveo comes with a shift indicator and, new for this year, taller 4th and 5th gears. Official EPA mileage estimates are great for this class, with a manual-equipped Aveo achieving 27 mpg city/35 mpg highway and 30 mpg combined. Aveos with the automatic transmission accomplish 25/34/28 mpg.

Safety

Front-seat side airbags are standard on all trim levels. Anti-lock brakes are optional on the LT models with automatic transmission.

In government crash tests, the 2010 Chevy Aveo sedan earned a top five-star rating for the driver in frontal impacts. The hatchback was awarded five stars for the front passenger in the frontal-impact test.

Interior Design and Special Features

The Aveo has plenty of headroom and outward visibility thanks to its tall profile and generous greenhouse. The cabin’s layout is simple and logical.  Both the sedan and Aveo 5 hatchback feature a 60/40 split-folding rear seat that allows for the transport of longer items.
