Width and height increase 1.6 and 0.4 inches, respectively. Riding on a 97.6-inch wheelbase, the Chevy Aveo is about 170 inches long - three inches longer than its predecessor. It’s a clean, reasonably fresh design, but it’s not as distinctive as before. From a distance, its large headlights and cross-bar grille could be mistaken for a Chevy Cobalt, and the chrome-striped rear looks like a shrunken Malibu with Ford Fusion taillights. While the previous car sported styling by Italdesign-Giugiaro, the 2007 Chevy Aveo comes from GM’s in-house mold. Last year’s sub-$10,000 Special Value sedan is gone, and the least expensive Aveo now starts around $12,000.
#2007 CHEVROLET COBALT MILLEAGE RANGE MANUAL#
The Chevrolet Aveo comes in basic LS and well-equipped LT trim levels, both available with a manual or an automatic transmission. The 2007 Aveo5 model is carried over from last year’s design, but this review focuses on the sedan. Ford and Chrysler have hinted at future contenders, but GM is currently the only Detroit automaker with an entry-level car.Ĭhevrolet also markets a companion five-door hatchback, now called the Aveo5. Honda, Toyota and Nissan already are in this segment, but U.S. Thanks to the recent jump in gas prices, small sedans and hatchbacks priced from $10,000 to $15,000 have seen their popularity soar. Despite its friendly face and upmarket frills, I found the new Chevrolet Aveo short on drivability, comfort and - most importantly - overall value. While the Cobalt may only get 23mpg in real city driving with a heavy foot, it is still relatively easy to achieve 28mpg in the city and 35+mpg on freeway.GM brought the Korean-built Chevy Aveo stateside for the 2004 model year, and a restyled Chevrolet Aveo sedan is available for 2007. While not as impressive as some of its competitors, the Cobalt is still good for low to mid 30s if driven properly. The SS 2.4L is pretty quick and fun to drive and I still get 28 mpg on average just gunning around town with a lead foot and about 20% high I like that the 2.4L engine is able to put out significantly more power than the 2.2L and keep the same economy. Under good highway driving conditions the Cobalt can go 700km on a single tank, but even in harsh conditions fuel economy is reasonable. Cheaper to run.ģ4 MPG observed - and this from a roomy stylish car that cost me less that 15,000 In addition, the average 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt in this analysis was driven on flat terrain with a medium foot and the AC not used at all.Ģ007 4dr Sedan 116 kW 2.2L I4 4-sp automatic FWDĢ007 2dr Coupe 128 kW 2.4L I4 5-sp manual FWDĢ007 2dr Coupe 128 kW 2.4L I4 4-sp automatic FWDĢ007 2dr Coupe turbocharged 194kW 2.0L I4 5-sp manual FWDĢ007 2dr Coupe 116 kW 2.2L I4 5-sp manual FWDĢ007 Chevrolet Cobalt Real Gas Mileage: Prosīetter than most North American cars.
