CHEVROLET AVEO U-VA


The Aveo U-VA has probably one of the weirdest names for a car in the business. Despite that, it probably is one of the few sensible hatches available in the market. Its USP is its interior space and has been one of the reasons why it has sold in decent numbers. With its single engine offering, it is severely handicapped as the competition offers a wide array of petrol and diesel engine options. The 1150cc four-cylinder petrol has decent bottom end as is reasonably fuel efficient. It doesn't have much byway of features, but ride quality is one of its strengths. The exterior design is pleasing, but it isn’t contemporary so expect it to age rather quickly. Aggressive pricing and discounts, apart from Chevrolet's new 3-year warranty and maintenance package make it an enticing buy, if no-nonsense motoring is your priority.
