For a refreshing change, it seems that General Motors might be in front of a new automotive trend rather than lagging behind it by several years. Subcompacts are getting hot thanks to high gas prices, stagnant wage growth, and increasing interest rates. As monthly bills grow at a greater pace than paychecks, Americans are discovering that maybe it’s just plain smart to go small. Honda, Nissan, and Toyota are betting on it with new models in the subcompact segment, but Chevrolet’s been there for almost three years now with the Chevrolet Aveo. Built by GM-Daewoo in South Korea, the 2007 Chevrolet Aveo sedan gets a redesign that includes new exterior sheet metal and a freshened cabin with a more upscale appearance. The Chevrolet Aveo five-door hatchback, however, continues unchanged.
It’s a good thing GM decided to update the Chevrolet Aveo for 2007, because the previous car, despite its commanding 40-percent share of the market (thanks mainly due to fleet sales to rental car agencies), was not particularly appealing. But starting in the summer of 2006, this new ’07 Chevrolet Aveo sedan will be available to entice the financially-strapped and financially-wise alike.
Buyers will be able to choose a 2007 Chevrolet Aveo sedan in LS or LT trim. Standard features include an iPod jack in the dashboard, six-way adjustable front seats, cruise control, and a tilt steering wheel. Options include a power sunroof, a six-disc CD changer, dual heated exterior mirrors, and steering wheel buttons for the cruise control and audio systems.
