2009 Chevrolet Aveo Review


The 2009 Chevrolet Aveo 5 gets a facelift and a refreshed interior, but the Chevrolet Aveo sedan rests on the styling updates it received in 2007. Snide remarks regarding the sedan’s styling are common, but reviewers are less critical of the new five-door.
Chevrolet’s entry-level car is available as a homely-looking sedan or an altogether more attractive five-door wagon,” says Car and Driver. MyRide.com remarks, “the twin-grille look that we like on the Chevrolet Malibu and new Chevrolet Traverse looks forced and weird on this little car. The headlights sweep up into the bodywork uncomfortably, the fender vents behind the rear wheels are laughably corny, the hubcaps have fake plastic bolts, and the rest of the car is just bland and boring.” Automobile Magazine doesn't like the hatchback's styling, "where the only external changes lie with an ungainly front fascia and a pair of new taillight lenses.”
The interior of the 2009 Chevrolet Aveo 5 receives at least some praise. Edmunds says "the interior of the Chevrolet Aveo 5 was redesigned this year, which finally puts it in step with the sedan.” Automobile Magazine remarks “our LT test car sported a two-tone cabin complete with faux-wood accents, but the dash is the same-ol' Daewoo instrument panel first seen (overseas) in 2002.

MyRide.com says that the 2009 Chevrolet Aveo's “interior styling is a slightly different matter. The design is bland, but inoffensive and simple, unlike the busy interiors of some of the Chevrolet Aveo's competitors. Chevrolet has even attempted a bit of style and upscale feel, giving the 2009 Chevrolet Aveo a two-tone tan-and-black theme with fake wood trim.”
