Customized car aficionados now have several options to personalize their Aveo5 and make it stand out from the crowd.

"The Aveo5 is a funky small car that is fun to drive and boasts excellent value. With its surprisingly roomy interior, 'the best-in-class rear legroom' and extremely striking exterior, the Aveo5 feels great when driving."

commented Karen Toor, Marketing Manager of Chevrolet Cars in the Middle East.

She added: "We understand some people might want to build on that wonderful package, and there are several options for them to choose from while doing so."

Mods can range from the simple fitting of alloy wheels, tinting car windows and applying stick on decals moving on to more complicated fittings of front bumper kits, side skirts, rear wings, spoilers, and hood and roof scoops.

Like all Chevrolets, the new Aveo5 stands out by offering expressive styling, excellent value for money, and advanced safety features.

As a successor, the incoming model has evolved and was completely reworked into a sportier and more dynamic interpretation of the compact hatchback.

A new variant added to the existing Aveo family, the Aveo5 was designed and engineered with young and first time buyers in mind.

The Aveo5 is powered by a 1.4 litre engine, which delivers 103 hp (net) @ 6200 rpm and a maximum torque of 130 Nm (net) at 3400 rpm and it is available with either the 4-speed automatic or 5-speed manual transmission.

The manual transmission version of the Aveo5 consumes an average between city and highway driving of 6.8 liters of fuel every 100 Km while the automatic version uses 7.1 liters per 100 Km.

The Aveo5 is surprisingly roomy considering it has with an exterior length of only 3.92 metres and a small turning radius of 5 m.

With a height of 1.51 metres and a wheelbase of 2.48 metres, there is plenty of space inside this five- seater.

The average headroom (front and rear) is 978 millimetres and the 'best-in-class' rear legroom is 889 millimeters.

The luggage compartment has a capacity of 220 litres.

If more room is needed, the rear bench can be easily folded down increasing loading space to 980 litres.
