The Chevrolet Aveo T250 sedan was presented to motorists in September 2005 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The car was produced from 2006 to 2012, it was replaced by the third generation with the factory index T300.
Continuation of the review:
New Chevrolet:
,
The history of the Chevrolet Aveo T250 sedan in 2012 did not end, with a new name it is produced in Ukraine at the Zaporozhye Automobile Plant.
The Aveo was designed by Italian auto stylists, and cars were produced at many GM assembly plants in different parts of the world (Korea, Russia, China) and sold in more than 160 countries around the world. Aveo Т250 represents the Korean branch of DAT of the American company Chevrolet, which in turn is part of the mega auto concern General Motors.
The body of the 2006 Aveo sedan has a pronounced chopped, wedge-shaped shape. The front part with rectangular high-mounted headlights, a miniature false radiator grille, richly dressed in chrome-like plastic. Front bumper with sharp edges, passing to the hood, in the lower part of the front fairing, the slots of the air intakes and located along the edges of the fog lamps.
Photos of Chevrolet Aveo in the old body of the side show the severity of the lines, the piled up windshield pillar, the flat roof, the lean trunk. The style and sportiness of the image is emphasized by the embossing of the wheel arches and a bright rib over the side door handles. The rear of the Aveo T 250 sedan continues the chopped-down forms of the front end, everything is strict and laconic. Rear bumper, trunk lid of rectangular configuration and large "chandeliers" of lighting technology in the form of isosceles triangles. It will not be superfluous to note that the body of the old Aveo is galvanized.
Body dimensions, disks and ground clearance
- Overall dimensions dimensions The 2006 Chevrolet Aveo sedan is as follows: length - 4310 mm, width - 1710 mm, height - 1500 mm, wheelbase - 2480 mm.
- Declared clearance The Aveo old body is 150 mm (a rare case, but according to the owners, the ground clearance is actually 170 mm).
- The car rests on the ground with tires on rims 155/80 R 13, 185/60 R14 or 185/55 R15. Wheels 195 / 50R16 are offered as an option, but the owners do not advise to install such disk size on Aveo 2006, since the rubber of the front wheel will cling to the arch when fully inverted.
Salon and trunk
Inside, the old Aveo body shows a large interior for its class. Finishing materials - hard combined plastics (easily scratched and creaked), but they look decent due to their texture.
The front dashboard is monumental in shape with smooth lines and curves. The Chevrolet Aveo salon in the old body has a radio tape recorder, a ventilation and air conditioning control unit traditionally located on the center console. Large diameter steering wheel with a thin, uncomfortable rim. The steering column is vertically adjustable. The dashboard is simple, informative, in expensive trim levels there is an on-board computer.
The front row seats are densely padded, well profiled, and insufficient lateral support. The range of adjustments in the driver's seat will satisfy even a person under 190 cm tall, but, alas, the absence of a seat lift does not allow sitting comfortably.
The second row is designed for two, the third can only be a child. The seat cushion is set high, the backrest tilt is optimal, legroom with a minimum margin for comfortable placement, the high roof does not put pressure on the head.
The trunk of the Chevrolet Aveo sedan in the old sedan body has a volume of 400 liters.
In the basic configuration, the car is equipped modestly: power steering, tachometer, audio preparation, foglights. The rich trim levels include air conditioning, central locking, heated electric mirrors, power windows, alloy wheels, ABC.
Price and configuration
Chevrolet Aveo 2006 model can still be estimated how much it costs and bought in car dealerships in Russia and Ukraine.
In Russia, the price of Aveo in the old sedan body 1.2 (84 hp) with 5 manual gearbox starts at 388,300 rubles for the Base configuration and rises to 461,400 rubles for the LS version.
In Ukraine, the cost of the 2006 Chevrolet Aveo sedan 1.5 (86 hp) with 5 manual gearboxes in the Base configuration starts from 91,920 hryvnia. Version SE 1.5 (86 hp) 5 manual gearbox with air conditioning, central locking, electric heated mirrors, tires 185/55 R15 costs from 105,960 hryvnia. The most expensive Aveo SX 1.5 (86 hp) 4 automatic transmission adds ABS + EBD, a driver's seat lift, aluminum inserts in the cabin to the saturation of the SE configuration and costs from 116,960 hryvnia.
Dimensions Chevrolet Aveo talk about its compactness, but the appearance of the car creates some illusion of a large car. In fact, the dimensions of the Chevrolet Aveo do not exceed 4 meters 40 centimeters for a sedan, and the size of the Aveo hatchback is even smaller.
This is what we are going to talk about today. By the way, you can read a full review of the characteristics of the Chevrolet Aveo with a photo, if you are only interested in dimensions, then this information is in this article.
If you compare the dimensions of the Chevrolet Aveo sedan the previous generation, it turns out that the new version has become larger. The length increased from 4,310 mm to 4,399 mm. Width from 1 710 to 1 735 mm, height was 1 505 mm became 1517. As for the Aveo hatchback of the old generation (T250), it was also smaller than the new hatch.
The increased size of the current generation Chevrolet Aveo (T300) has a positive impact on boot volume and cabin space. In the old version, the sedan had a trunk of 400 liters, the second generation has 502 liters of volume. The Aveo hatchback has increased its luggage compartment by 70 liters. Today the wheelbase is 2,525 mm; the previous version is only 2,480 mm. That is, the length of the cabin has increased by 4.5 centimeters.
Concerning clearance Chevrolet Aveo or ground clearance, the previous generation of the Aveo sedan had a clearance of 155 mm, and a hatchback of 150 mm. Today's Chevrolet Aveo has a 155mm ground clearance according to official figures, but is actually around 150mm. In any case, this is always a moot point. The reason for this is the ability to use different rims and tires with different profile heights. After all, you can put wheels on the Aveo, either 15 or 16 inches, or R 17. Believe me, any manipulations with the size of the wheels can change the clearance of any car, both in the direction of increasing and decreasing the ground clearance. Detailed dimensions of the sedan and hatchback are below.

Why you should know about the dimensions of the Chevrolet Aveo hatchback
The Chevrolet Aveo belongs to the compact C-class, but its design suggests the opposite - the car of the current generation looks presentable and more impressive against the background of its predecessor. The austere and fashionable design is really capable of creating the illusion of a large car. But in fact, the Aveo of the Aveo hatchback is slightly more than four meters long. In this article, it is worth considering in detail the parameters of the Aveo hatchback body, because many motorists are still confused about the car classes.
Dimensions Chevrolet Aveo hatchback (dimensions)
It will be interesting to compare the dimensions of the current Aveo with the previous generation of the hatchback.
- Length - 4,039 mm
- Width - 1,735 mm
- Height - 1 517 mm
- Wheelbase - 2,525 mm
- The track of the front and rear wheels is 1497 and 1495 mm, respectively
- Trunk volume - 290 liters, with the rear seats folded 653 liters.
- Fuel tank size - 46 liters
- Ground clearance or clearance of the Chevrolet Aveo hatchback - 155 mm
- Curb weight from 1168 kg, gross weight 1613 kg
The length of the previous generation Aveo in the hatchback body reaches 3920 mm, the width is 1680 mm, and the height is 1505 mm. Thus, the newer car has increased in all respects. The car has a front track of 1497 mm, and a rear track is 1495 mm. The maximum amount of gasoline that can be filled into the Aveo fuel tank is 46 liters. The curb weight of the car is not less than 1168 kg, and the gross weight reaches 1613 kg.
Chevrolet recently introduced the next generation of the Aveo 2016 model year, which will not be on sale in Russia soon. Therefore, in this article, it is worth considering in detail exactly the current Aveo, which is in stable demand in the domestic market.
Wheelbase
The wheelbase reaches 2525 mm. Interestingly, the predecessor has this figure of only 2480 mm. Thus, in a newer machine, the increase in internal space in length is 45 mm.
Ground clearance
I must say right away that the Chevrolet Aveo is well adapted to Russian road and climatic conditions. For example, the ground clearance of a car of 150 mm is quite consistent with the clearance of competitors. These are the official data of the manufacturer, which in fact may differ depending on the dimensions of the tires installed. For example, the profile height is very important. In Aveo, it can be 15, 16 and 17 inches based on the configuration. With each of these wheels, the car becomes slightly higher or lower, although the difference cannot be noticed with the naked eye.
Trunk
Considering the characteristics of the Chevrolet Aveo hatchback, it is worth paying special attention to its trunk. Its capacity is 290 liters, which is not bad at all for a C-class hatchback, but could be better. But the Chevrolet Aveo, like other modern classmates, boasts a rear-seat backrest folding function, allowing for an impressive 653 liters of luggage space. Thanks to this, the youth hatchback turns into a mini-van for transporting, say, ice cream for pharmaceutical drugs or perfumery.
Aveo for drivers and summer residents
Having familiarized yourself with the dimensions of the Chevrolet Aveo hatchback, we can say that a seemingly sports car is able to satisfy the needs of not only active and young motorists, but also family summer residents.
Chevrolet Aveo ground clearance or clearance like for any other passenger car is an important factor on our roads. It is the condition of the road surface or its complete absence that makes Russian motorists interested in the clearance of the Chevrolet Aveo and the possibility of increasing ground clearance using spacers.
To begin with, it's worth honestly saying that real clearance Chevrolet Aveo may seriously differ from that declared by the manufacturer. The whole secret is in the method of measurement and the place of measurement of the ground clearance. Therefore, you can find out the real state of affairs only by yourself armed with a tape measure or a ruler. Chevrolet Aveo Official Clearance is 155 mm... However, in reality, under the protection of the engine, you can hardly measure more than 150 mm, and under the front bumper apron generally 123 mm! The only good news is that under the rear of the Aveo sedan there are worthy 205 mm.
Some manufacturers go for the trick and declare the size of the ground clearance in an "empty" car, but in real life we have a full trunk of all sorts of things, passengers and a driver. That is, in a loaded car, the clearance will be completely different. Another factor that few people have in mind is the age of the car and the wear and tear of the springs, their "subsidence" from old age. The issue is solved by installing new springs or buying spacers under sagging springs Chevrolet Aveo... The spacers allow you to compensate for the spring sag and add a couple of centimeters of ground clearance. Sometimes even a centimeter in the parking lot at the curb plays an important role.
But do not get carried away with the "lift" of the Chevrolet Aveo's ground clearance, because the spacers to increase the clearance are focused only on springs. If you do not pay attention to the shock absorbers, the travel of which is often very limited, then self-modernization of the suspension can lead to loss of control and damage to the shock absorbers. In terms of cross-country ability, high ground clearance in our harsh conditions is good, but at high speeds on the track and in corners, there is a serious buildup and additional body roll.
A detailed video of installing spacers to increase ground clearance on the front Chevrolet Aveo.
When designing a suspension and choosing the amount of ground clearance, any car manufacturer is looking for a middle ground between handling and cross-country ability. Perhaps the easiest, safest and most unpretentious way to increase clearance is to install wheels with “high” tires. Changing wheels makes it easy to increase the ground clearance by another centimeter.
Do not forget that a serious change in ground clearance can damage the CV joints of the Chevrolet Aveo. After all, "grenades" will have to work from a slightly different angle. But this only applies to the front axle. Moreover, a serious change in ground clearance can lead to uneven rubber wear.
Since 2011, Chevrolet has introduced a second-generation budget car, which differs in appearance from previous models, but remains recognizable. The design, body dimensions, the volume of the trunk and the interior have changed. The new dimensions of the Chevrolet Aveo sedan made the family car more spacious and practical.
The new version is presented in two models.
- Produced on the Kaliningrad "Avtotor" Chevrolet Aveo with a sedan version body.
- On the basis of GAZ, a new modification of the Chevrolet Aveo five-door hatchback.
Chevrolet car
The budget car T250 has ceased to represent serious competition for the same type of cars from other companies. Therefore, a model has been created that will be sold in 50 countries where Chevrolet has dealerships and showrooms. The new model was developed on the basis of Gamma2, taking into account the wishes of buyers, especially complaints about the difficulty of getting comfortable in the cabin, especially when driving, for people of tall stature.
William Durant founded the automobile company for the independent production of family cars in 1911 as a subsidiary of the General Motors Corporation he built three years earlier. The company got its name from the second partner, who was at the same time a racer and a leading car developer - Louis Chevrolet. Currently, models produced by manufacturers from South Korea are being sold in Europe and Russia.
Chevrolet aveo sedan
When developing a new Chevrolet model, all similar class B cars of competing companies, which were successfully sold in car dealerships in various countries, were studied. The new Aveo sedan has become larger in all sizes, received a new look, more sporty and attractive for young people, and still recognizable and convenient for married couples with children to travel and use the car as a work car.
Dimensions (edit)
The increased dimensions of the passenger compartment and trunk made the T300 the most compact and convenient of the whole range of small cars and family cars. At a budgetary cost, the interior trim for the most part is not inferior to models of a higher price range.
The dashboard is like a motorcycle, and the sporty streamlined and fast-paced body shape, characteristic of all Chevrolet cars, made the Chevrolet Aveo sedan and T300 hatchback attractive, stylish, stable, and as a result - in demand.
External dimensions of the car
The height of the Т300 model is 1517 mm, which is almost 12 mm higher than the previous models. At the same time, the ground clearance remains the same and ranges from 150 to 155 mm, depending on the type of tires and disks. As a result, the headroom has increased and the car has become more comfortable.
The car has become wider by 25 mm. In the 2004 - 2011 models, it was 1710 mm in size, the new horizontal dimensions were 1735 mm, and with the mirrors unfolded in the working position, 2004 mm. Now the Chevrolet Aveo sedan has three passenger seats in the back, which can easily accommodate adult large passengers. Even behind the driver, a man with a height of 180 centimeters can sit freely.
The length has changed upwards by 89 mm, and became 4399 mm, the previous models were 4310 mm. Together with the length, the wheelbase changed - it became 2525 mm, which made the car more stable, and at the same time the maneuverability remained the same as it was with the distance between the axles of the wheel sets of 2480 mm. The volume of the trunk has also increased significantly.
The track has leveled off and the difference between the front and rear wheels is only 2 mm, this is 1497/1495 mm. In Chevrolet sedan cars manufactured before 2012, the difference was 20 mm, and it was 1450/1430 mm in the center of the track. The size of the disks has undergone major changes. On the Chevrolet T250 sedan, they were from 13 to 15 inches. The Aveo sedan with 17-inch wheels looks more aggressive and dynamic.
The curb weight due to the installation of additional equipment has increased by 50 kg, from the previous 997 kg. At the same time, the carrying capacity has become less, which can disappoint the owners of the car, who use it as a family car for long trips and as a work car. The T300 sedan model has a curb weight of 1147, and the permissible total weight is 1598 kg, instead of 1500 kg of the T250 model range. The weight of the trailer is allowed with brakes, a ton, without brakes, half as much.
Interior dimensions
The Chevrolet Aveo sedan has a spacious five-seater saloon. The distance from the back of the driver's seat in the extreme far position to the rear seat is 203 mm, with a height of the latter of 350 mm and a width of 465 mm. At the same time, the ceiling height from the passenger's sofa is 929 mm. This allows a tall person to sit and have free legs and head position.
The driver's seat has been improved. If earlier, in a Chevrolet sedan, like in a Lada, only people with an average height, thin ones were placed, then in the Aveo T300 model a two-meter athlete can drive a car. Backrest arc size - the pedal is adjusted by moving the seat in the range of 854 - 1073 mm. The steering column also changes its position in the range of 463 - 524 mm from the plane of the floor, while the wheel turns 45 degrees, adjusting to the height of the person.
The driver's seat height is 318 mm with a width of 490 mm and a height to the ceiling of 968 mm. Taking into account the backrest, which has an orthopedic deflection and a backbone, the driver's seat is made as comfortable as possible.
Trunk volume
The upper part of the T300 sedan passes with a smooth line into the trunk lid, which is inflated and has a size to the bottom at the level of the wing of 562 mm. From the reclining backrest of the passenger seat to the rear wall 997 - 1627 mm. The result is a total trunk volume of 502 liters. For transporting luggage, you can use the space that opens when the seat is folded.
For comparison, we can say that on previous models of sedan cars from the Chevrolet company, the trunk volume was 375 - 400 cubic meters. At the same time, the volume of the gas tank has been increased from 45 to 46 liters.
Aesthetic look
The new Chevrolet Aveo sedan looks sporty, impetuous and a little predatory. The traditional radiator grille with chrome strip is replaced by a double false grille with shiny surround. Each of the four headlights is located in a separate well under the rounding of the bonnet. At the bottom there are fog lights in protruding round shades, like cannons.
The flowing roofline, characteristic of racing cars, is completed by a boot lid. Stamped lines along the body give the vehicle a swiftness. Large discs under the protruding arches of the fenders make it look aggressive and stable.
The harmony of the sedan's image is spoiled by the taillights. They are large, passing to the sides and too bulky and bright for fast-paced sports forms.
The torpedo has changed more significantly than the body. The dashboard is similar to the instrument cluster on racing motorcycles. All information about speed, revs and fuel consumption is displayed on one screen and is easy to read. Made an additional glove compartment and a case for glasses in the left front door.
In the Aveo, during the design, changes were made to the frame design and the adjustment of the steering link. As a result, the side roll when driving is almost completely removed. The car at the planned speed of 150 km / h is stable, obedient, without surprises in any driving mode. It behaves equally stable on city streets and highways.
