Finally I got a new Chevrolet Aveo 2012-2013 model year to Russian and Ukrainian buyers. In the spring of 2012, new budget Chevrolet Aveo T300 sedan and hatchback in the five-door version of the body became available to domestic motorists.
Chevrolet Aveo's competitors in the new body in the classroom:

New Chevrolet:
Recall that the Presentation of Chevrolet Aveo T300 Hatchback took place at the Paris Motor Show in September 2010. Chevrolet Aveo New Body Sedan T300 was represented by the European Public in the framework of the Geneva Motor Show in March 2011.
In the North American market and in a number of other countries, the new Aveo is sold under the name Chevrolet Sonic.
Design of the new body sedan and hatchback
The new Chevrolet Aveo 2012-2013 represents the American automaker in the European B-class, although with its external dimensions is the recycling of this segment.
Overall dimensions Chevrolet Aveo 2012-2013 in a new body sedan and hatchback make up:
- length - 4399 mm (4039 mm), width - 1735 mm, Height - 1517 mm, Wheel base - 2525 mm,
- clearance (Road clearance) - 150 mm.
From dry numbers, we turn to the aesthetic perception of a new generation and review Chevrolet Aveo.
The front part of the updated Aveo instantly "clings" the original solution of the anterior lighting, each of the four heads is located in its "plate". In the rich configuration LTZ, also round "guns" of fog drawers (missing in the database) are added and then Chevrolet Aveo T300 looks at the road with six "eyes", like Alpha Romeo 159. Trapezoid duplex rash radiator grille with chrome edging solved in the family style of large chevrolet. The front streamlined bumper with a pronounced aerodynamic lip and aggressive edges goes into convex climbing of circular wheeled arches. The U-shaped form of the edge on the hood harmoniously flows into the front racks of the roof.
In the profile of the new Body Aveo - with neat and stylish rear-view mirrors, high windows line, a bright edge along the top of the doors and an obvious sample on the bottom. The T300 sedan is only from the middle rack of the body different from the hatchback.
Let's start the description of the rear and the feed of the new Aveo from the sedan. The almost smooth roof line smoothly goes into the rear window, and then on a small, highly located trunk lid.
The shape of the feed of the scedan's stern spoil the rear lighting unlapeted lights, located in the dissonance with anterior lighting. Simple configuration bumper, indiscreet size The lid of the cargo compartment hints at a decent trunk.
A smooth roof of the hatchback is broken in the rear and at a right angle goes into the fifth door. The doors for passengers of the rear row have a more comfortable configuration and a chip in the form of a door handle that rushes on the glass frame (with a fluent look, five-door Aveo is easy to take for three hours). Behind a car with a powerful bumper, a small door of the luggage compartment and stylish "eyes" of overall lights (echo with the solution of the front light).
Salon - Ergonomics, quality materials and assembly
Inside the interior of Chevrolet Aveo 2012-2013 continues to delight pleasant surprises. Absolutely new front torpedo with a mass of niche, shelves and tanks.
The impressive size of the salon has the instrument panel solved in the style of the younger Chevrolet Spark (motorcycle motifs), a round dial of the tachometer and an electronic table of speedometer with separately located information lamps. The grip steering wheel is convenient (leather finishing - option), however, the steering column is adjusted only in height. The central console is located regular radio tape recorder (radio, CD MP3, AUX and USB), there was a place below to control the air conditioner with the heating system. New Aveo can boast two gloves.
The front row seats are perfectly integrated, the adjustment range is enough even to people with growth under 190 cm (driver with microlift), but on the obese drivers the seat profile is not designed. Passengers of the second row are not so free and comfortable as in front.
Of course, it will be better together, the knees do not rest in the backs of the front seats, the roof does not press the head, there is a heater for the rear passengers. Finishing materials at the level of class representatives (hard plastics, metallized inserts). The assembly of the salon is far from German cars, the small flaws and elements of the cabin are visible in some places.
In basic package LS New Chevrolet Aveo 2012 Sedan for Russian and Ukrainian buyers will be equipped with radio with CD MP3 and 4 speakers, air conditioning (surcharge 30000 rubles), front windows, driver's seat lift, adjustable steering column in height, central locking with Du, iron disks R14, two pillows, ABC, BAC (emergency braking system), EBD. In the most saturated configuration of LTZ, the new Aveo T300 sedan and hatchback to equip the base model will add adjustment of the lumbar support for the driver's seat, cruise control, electric drive mirrors, heated mirrors and front armchairs, adjusting the steering column by departure, light alloy disks R16, front fog, parking sensors, 6 airbags and a lot of pleasant little things.
In the new body trunk. Chevrolet Aveo Sedan has a serious 502 liters.
The trunk Aveo Hatchback in the new body is more compromised - 290 liters in a hiking condition and cargo capacity increases to 653 liters with folded seats of the second row.

Test Drive
The first impressions of the test drive Chevrolet Aveo Sample 2012-2013 leaves ambiguous. Tight, European born pendant, sharp (sometimes nervous) steering wheel, chain brakes, quick operation of the machine. In the city behind the wheel of the new Aveo, the driver feels great: the car quickly accelerates, slowly slows down and rulitsy, however, even on small pits, the chassis is clearly duplicated by the profile of the road to the salon.
On the track, the car begins to strain with sharp steering, unimportant coursework (constantly it is necessary to twist and return the car on the straight), rigid suspension and mediocre sound and noise insulation.

Continuation of the review:
New Chevrolet:
,
The history of the sedan Chevrolet Aveo T250 in 2012 was not over, with the new name, it is produced in Ukraine on Zaporizhia Auto Plant.
The Italian stylists await the design of Aveo, and cars were produced at many GM assembly enterprises in different parts of the planet (Korea, Russia, China) and were sold in more than 160 countries of the world.

The front bumper with sharp edges, moving on the hood, in the lower part of the front fairing of the slot of the air intakes and located along the edges of the spotlights of the anti-vocabulary.
Photo of Chevrolet Aveo in the old body side of the side of the side of the lines, a littered windshield rack, a smooth roof, a roast trunk. The style and sportiness of the image emphasizes steaming wheel arches and a bright edge over the side door handles. The feed of the sedan Aveo T 250 continues the chopness of the forms of the front part, everything is strictly and concise. Rear bumper, rectangular configuration trunk lid and large "chandeliers" lighting equipment in the form of an equally chained triangles. It will not be superfluous that the old Aveo body is galvanized.
Body sizes, discs and clearance

Salon and trunk
Inside the old body of Aveo demonstrates a big one for its class salon. Finishing materials - rigid combined plastics (easily scratched and embroidered), but they look worthy thanks to the texture.
Front torpedo monumental shape with smooth lines and bends. Chevrolet Aveo salon in the old body has traditionally located on the center console of the radio, the ventilation control unit and air conditioning. Steering wheel of a large diameter with a subtle uncomfortable rim. The steering column is adjustable in the vertical plane. The dashboard is simple, informative, in expensive equipment there is an on-board computer.
The front-row seat with a dense packing, is quite successful, lateral support is not sufficient. The range of driver's adjustments will satisfy even a person with an increase in 190 cm, but, alas, it is convenient that the absence of the seat elevator does not allow.
The second row is designed for two, the third can only be a child. The seat cushion is set high, the backrest is optimal, the places for the legs with a minimum margin for comfortable accommodation, the high roof does not press the head.

Road clever Chevrolet Aveo or clearanceAs for any other passenger car is an important factor on our roads. It is the condition of the road surface or its complete absence forces Russian motorists to be interested in Clearance of Chevrolet Aveo and the possibility of increasing the road lumen with the help of spacer.
To begin with, it is necessary to honestly say that real clearance Chevrolet Aveo It can be seriously different from the manufacturer's declared. The whole secret in the method of measurement and place of measuring the road lumen. Therefore, it is possible to find out the real state of affairs only by armed with a roulette or ruler. Official clearance Chevrolet Aveo make up 155 mm. However, in reality, under the protection of the engine, you are unlikely to measure more than 150 mm, and under the apron of the front bumper at all 123 mm! It pleases only that under the rear of the sedan Aveo worthy of 205 mm.
Some manufacturers go to the trick and declare the size of the road lumen in the "empty" car, but in real life we \u200b\u200bhave a complete trunk of all sorts of things, passengers and a driver. That is, the clien's loaded car will be completely different. Another factor that has few people in mind is the age of the car and wear of the springs of their "seeding" from old age. The question is solved by installing new springs or purchase of spacers under spring Springs Chevrolet Aveo. Spacers allow you to compensate for the singer of the springs and will add a pair of centimeters of the road lumen. Sometimes even a centimeter in the parking lot at the border plays an important role.
But it is not necessary to get involved in the "elevator" of the road lumen of Chevrolet Aveo, because spacers for increasing clearance are focused only on the springs. If you do not pay attention to shock absorbers, the course of which is often very limited, then independent modernization of the suspension can lead to the loss of controllability and damage to the shock absorbers. From the point of view of the passability, the big road clearance in our harsh conditions is good, but at high speeds on the track and in turning there appears a serious routine and additional casual rolls.
Detailed video installation of space for increasing the road lumen on Chevrolet Aveo in front.
Any car manufacturer When designing suspension and choosing the magnitude of the clearance is looking for a golden middleness between handling and passability. Perhaps the easiest, safe and simple way to increase the clearance, it is to install wheels with "high" rubber. Wheel change makes it easy to increase ground clearance on a centimeter of another.
Do not forget that a serious change in clearance can damage CHEVROLET AVEO scraps. After all, "grenades" will have to work a little under a different angle. But this concerns only the front axle. Not only that serious change in clearance can lead to uneven wear of rubber.
Chevrolet Aveo clearance is the distance between the road and the lowest part of the car. To be more precise, the clearance is considered, according to factory standards, from the vehicle threshold to the road. Road clearance directly affects the aerodynamics of the car, as well as flowing.
Clearance on the sedan, Hethbeck and the universal
Usually, automakers for different types of body are installed different road clearance. In the case of Chevrolet Aveo, the manufacturer set one clearance for all three types of body: hatchek, sedan and station wagon. So, the road clearance is in factory standards - 150 mm.
When installing tuning spare parts, the ground clearance will change. So, if you set the engine crankcase protection, the indicator will decrease by almost 15 mm, and will be on average - 130 mm. And if the car is being modified by body tuning, then the clearance can decrease by 120 mm. Therefore, often motorists regulate the height of the road lumen with special means.
Understated clearance.

Traffic Increase Methods
Since, the road surface on the territory of the CIS countries, mainly leaves much to be desired, pits yes bumps, then many Aveo owners try to increase the height of the clearance to avoid damage to the body's protective elements, such as - bumpers and thresholds. You can do this in several ways. The most common is the installation of spacers or springs with shock absorbers. Consider both options.
Spacek
Spacers are rubber-metal pancakes that are inserted between the body and the shock absorber to increase the distance of the car's road lumen. These details of refinement can be purchased at the automotive markets or in auto shops. Since the cost is much lower shock absorbers and springs, most motorists prefer to spacevas.
Installing spacers.
Consider the sequence of work for installation of spacers:
- We carry out the dismantling of the shock absorber rack along with all the components.
- We dismantle the metal cover that fixes the spring.
- We establish the spacer so that it becomes between two metal plates.
- Mount the fastening bolts, which then the rack will fix on the glass.
- Install the rack on the standard landing place.
- Thus, it is possible to increase the ground clearance on Chevrolet Aveo by 15-20 mm.
Shock absorbers and springs
Another way to increase the ground clearance on Aveo is the installation of high shock absorbers and springs. To do this, you will need to find a set of non-standard chassis for improving clearance. Usually motorists go to tuning shops or a car market to buy this type of spare parts.
Installation is carried out with your own hands. Old parts are dismantled from the car, and new things are installed on an old planting place. So, you do not need to redo or customize. The only nuance can be a large fastener bolts that need to be cut after installation on the car.
Output
Chevrolet Aveo clearance for all body types is 145 mm, according to the technical documentation provided by the manufacturer. So, to increase the ground clearance, motorists use different ways. The most common is the installation of spacers.
