2011 Chevrolet Aveo roadtest (english subtitled)
Groot zijn de aantallen niet voor Chevrolet in Nederland. Met de Cruze hoopte het Koreaanse merk potten te kunnen breken in het C-segment, maar daar is vooralsnog weinig van terecht gekomen. Het is nu de beurt aan de Aveo om types als de Fiesta, Punto en Fabia te beconcurreren. Is hij tegen de concurrentie opgewassen? We gaan rijden.
► 2012 Chevrolet Sonic LTZ (Aveo)
At the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, MI in 2011, General Motors is introducing the 2012 Buick Verano, the GMC Sierra All Terrain HD Concept and the Chevrolet Sonic. The Verano is a compact luxury sedan that goes on sale in the fourth quarter of 2011, the Sonic is Chevrolet's small car built in America (called the Aveo in other parts of the world, and GMC's new concept is an exploration of heavy-duty truck capability combined with greater off-road versatility.
The new 2012 Chevrolet Sonic (Hatchback and Sedan)
Comes with hatchback and sedan.
The Chevrolet Aveo is known as one of the least-expensive and least-liked subcompact cars you can buy. Now that Chevrolet has announced the Aveo's replacement, the little econobox will just become a bad memory. Meet the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic.
"The 2012 Chevrolet Sonic is the small car GM has been saying it will build for decades," says Inside Line. "This time, however, the Sonic has been given a stylish look along with a generous helping of the company's latest technology. Penalty box? No, just a smaller version of the company's best sedans. At least that's how Chevrolet is pitching it."
Still riding the wave of praise for the Chevrolet Cruze, an affordable small car that reviewers like for its upscale feel and comfortable cabin, Chevy is banking on the Sonic to extend the goodwill into the company's newest super-small car offering. AutoWeek reports, "The Sonic will come in two variants: a sedan that resembles a slimmed-down Cruze and a diminutive hatch. Two Ecotec engines will be available, including a 1.4-liter four-cylinder turbo pushing out 138 hp and 148 lb-ft of torque that can be paired with a six-speed manual gearbox. The standard engine will be a 1.8-liter four-cylinder making 135 hp and 123 lb-ft of torque; it will be offered with a five-speed manual or a six-speed automatic gearbox."
Autoblog says that, with the Sonic, "it's clear that The General had its sights locked on the Fiesta from the get go. The Sonic hatchback packs more back seat room than its Blue Oval competitor and, with the rear bench folded flat, delivers more cargo room, as well."
While the press hasn't gotten a full look at the sonic, which debuts later today at the Detroit auto show, the early reviewers are positive. "Chevy has built a subcompact car that's appealing for reasons other than price or gas mileage," says Kicking Tires. With the Ford Fiesta already tearing up the affordable small car rankings, and an all-new 2012 Honda Civic set to bow later this year, the Sonic could have its work cut out for it. But, all the competition is only good news for small car shoppers, who suddenly have plenty of strong options to chose from.

Novedades Chevrolet Aveo 2011
Llega una nueva generación con carrocerías de 4 y 5 puertas
Chevrolet es la marca que más unidades vende del grupo General Motors (GM) en todo el mundo y este año cumplen sus primeros 100 años, aunque en su actual etapa europea es muy joven, pues sólo tiene 6 años. GM adquirió la marca coreana Daewoo y la ha utilizado como plataforma para entrar en Europa con modelos adaptados a los gustos europeos. En estos 6 años ha logrado duplicar sus ventas, pasando de 250.000 a 500.000 unidades.
En este año de su centenario Chevrolet va a lanzar 7 modelos nuevos y pasará de competir en un 25% del mercado en el año 2010 a hacerlo en el 75% en 2012. Esta nueva generación del modelo Aveo sólo mantiene el nombre, ya que es un producto nuevo. De hecho, al menos en una primera etapa mantendrán el antecesor a la venta. Se plantea como un coche global, que se venderá en todo el mundo, y estrena la nueva plataforma para modelos del segmento B, el de los utilitarios polivalentes, desarrollada por GM.
El Aveo 2011 es un vehículo con un diseño renovado tanto en el exterior como en el puesto de conducción y habitáculo. Cuenta con una estructura de chasis y carrocería de nuevo desarrollo y motores modernos con bajos niveles de consumo y emisiones. Se ofrecerá en dos carrocerías: la de 5 puertas y el sedán de 4 puertas. El sedán disfruta de un maletero de 502 litros de capacidad. No se plantea una de 3 puertas.
El 5 puertas tiene una longitud de 4,04 metros, mientras que el sedán mide 4,40 metros. La anchura en ambos es de 1,74 m y la altura de 1,52 metros. En el 5 puertas la capacidad del maletero es de 290 litros, que se pueden ampliar hasta los 653 litros abatiendo los asientos traseros.
Los ingenieros han trabajado para proporcionar una experiencia de conducción más dinámica y amena, con un chasis que se encuentra entre los más rígidos de su categoría, aunque sin renunciar a las soluciones prácticas. Los aceros empleados tienen una elevada resistencia a la tensión, lo que además mejora la seguridad de los pasajeros.
En el diseño exterior destacan un frontal con carácter y un punto de agresividad, y unas líneas fluidas. Los faros delanteros están inspirados en las motocicletas y están alojados en tubos dobles, con biseles negros brillantes y aros cromados. El aspecto agresivo y atrevido del 5 puertas se ve reforzado por los acentuados pasos de rueda y los tiradores traseros están camuflados en la sección superior de las mismas, creando un aspecto similar al de un coupé.
El abanico de precios en el 5 puertas oscila entre los 11.500 euros del 1.2 LS y los 14.250 euros del 1.6 LTZ. Los sedán tienen un sobreprecio de 600 euros y el cambio automático cuesta 1.000 €.
PRECIOS 5 Puertas:
1.2 LS: 11.500 €
1.2 LT: 12.400 €
1.4 LT+: 13.050 €
1.4 LTZ: 13.850 €
1.6 LTZ: 14.250 €
