Trunk volume
Many car enthusiasts, when purchasing a particular car, in addition to its main characteristics, also pay attention to the carrying capacity. Trunk capacity depends on the generation and body type.
1st generation Chevrolets have the following luggage compartment volumes:
- hatchback - 220 l;
- Aveo sedan - 400 l.
The Aveo T300 (second generation) has significantly increased cargo compartments:
The trunk of all models can be increased by lowering the rear seats and installing an additional roof box.
Chevrolets of all generations and trim levels were once among the most popular small cars. They can confidently be considered among the pioneers of the budget crossover niche in the Russian Federation. Thanks to their simplicity, attractive design and convenient dimensions, these configurations are still popular among car enthusiasts throughout Russia and the CIS.

Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of the Chevrolet Aveo 2 in the T300 body
The body itself resists corrosion very well, but the weak paint coating is a minus; chips appear quickly. Drivers also complain about the low ground clearance.
The interior elements are very worn, so it is easy to determine the mileage from them. The heated seats and mirrors often fail, and the cable comes off the air flow control washer.
We didn’t have to choose a motor, however, there are relatively few complaints about the F16D4: low phase regulator life, oil and coolant leaks, electrical failures.
The D16 manual transmission is generally reliable, annoying only with periodic leaks, but the 6T30 automatic transmission is not pleasing. You can read about all his illnesses in a separate article.
In the front suspension, only the stabilizer struts are often changed, but in the rear there are many weak points: these are shock absorbers and beam silent blocks, they only last for 50,000 km.
The rumble from below comes either from the front brake calipers or from rotted heat shields in the exhaust system. The former can be replaced, and the latter can be thrown away.

The Chevrolet Aveo T250 is loved by many domestic drivers. However, over time, its technical characteristics have become outdated. That is why the production of the third generation began in 2012. It was assigned the index T300. This car has taken a leading position in the budget class. The Chevrolet Aveo T300 pleased car enthusiasts with a fresh design solution. It is presented on the market in two body styles: sedan and hatchback. These models were first demonstrated in 2010 and 2011. It is sold in 50 countries around the world.
Three generations of Aveo
To date, three generations of this wonderful car have already been produced. Read about their differences and characteristics below in the article.
First
Production of the first release of the Chevrolet Aveo with the factory designation T-200 began with three modifications. It was a four-door sedan, five and three-door hatchback. Photos of the Aveo model range, released in 2003, are given in the article. The Chevrolet of this model is equipped with a 1.2-1.6 liter engine with a power of 72-106 hp. With, as well as a manual transmission.
The domestic market presented its customers with cars with engines of two models:
- 1.2 (4 cylinders, 8 valves, 72 hp);
- 1.4 (4 cylinders, 16 valves, 94 hp).
For possible causes of engine malfunctions, as well as ways to eliminate them, look at the photos and videos.
In 2004, an updated 5-door Aveo was released. It has a changed appearance: a device in the front headlight for turn signals, the design of the front bumper. The engine and gearbox models remain the same. Watch the video for installation, repair, and technical inspection of various parts of modified cars. The photo shows the T-200 hatchback.
Second
In 2005, in Shanghai, the company introduced the Chevrolet Aveo sedan T-250. Serial production of this modification began in 2006. Aveo has acquired a new appearance, design, and interior.
The car's security system has been redesigned and a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic gearbox is installed. The body dimensions have increased: 4310x1710x1495 mm, wheelbase - 2480 mm. Engine capacity is 1.4-1.6 l, power 94-103 l. With. The machine of this modification has improved technical characteristics. The photo shows a Chevrolet Aveo T-250 sedan.
In 2008, the updated Chevrolet Aveo hatchback T-255 appeared. It is available in five- and three-door models. The company badge in this model is not located on the grille, which has acquired the color of the car, but in the middle, which can be seen in the photo of the five-door Aveo T-255 hatchback. The headlights are arranged to extend onto the wings. A massive rear bumper has been installed. The technical characteristics of engines and gearboxes have not changed. For the installation and repair of the main components of the T-255 hatchback, see the video and photos in the article.
Third
In 2012, the third generation Chevrolet Aveo was released with the index T-300. The five-door car of this brand is presented in two modifications - hatchback and sedan. Their production is based on a new platform called Gamma II. Thanks to the use of high-strength steels, the rigidity of the body has increased, which has improved the safety and handling of the car. The equipment of the instrument panel is pleasing to the eye, on which there is one round tachometer, an information screen, and a digital speedometer.
The car is equipped with security systems, electronic stabilization, and power steering. The trunk compartment has been increased: for the T-300 hatchback its volume is 290 liters, and for the sedan it is 502 liters. Standard equipment for consumers on the Russian market includes a chrome radiator grille, a CD/MP3 audio system with USB and AUX connectors, air conditioning, and electric windows.
You can find out where the various systems are located in third-generation models and how to repair or replace them by watching videos and photos.
Chevrolet Aveo T-300 is equipped with modern gasoline engines. Their power is 115 and 110 hp. s., volume 1.6 l and 1.4 l. These engines have improved lubricant circulation and adjustable valve timing. An installed 1.3 turbodiesel can have 75-95 liters. With. Chevrolet Aveo T-300 is available with a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. The gearbox device is presented in the video.
Hatchback characteristics
Chevrolet Aveo hatchback belongs to the class of compact cars. Has five doors. 5 people can fit in the cabin at the same time. The length of its body is 4039 mm. The width of 1735 mm is quite enough to ensure that the cabin does not feel cramped, and each of the passengers is in the most comfortable conditions. The height indicator can be attributed to standard values, it is 1517 mm. The wheelbase of the hatchback is 2525 mm, and the front and rear tracks are the same. Ground clearance of 155 mm allows the car to be used not only in urban environments, but also on dirt roads. This parameter is quite enough to overcome small obstacles. The fuel tank holds a maximum of 46 liters of gasoline. The maximum weight is about 1.6 tons, the curb weight is just over 1.1 tons. Due to the fact that the car is assembled at the domestic GAZ enterprise, spare parts for the Chevrolet Aveo are inexpensive and can be purchased at any specialized center.
Interior dimensions
The overall dimensions of the Chevrolet Aveo create the illusion of a large car, but in fact it is a rather compact car. The parameters of the interior itself match the body. The distance from the back of the driver's seat, moved to the rear position, to the back of the second row seat is just over 200 mm with a height of 350 mm and a width of 465 mm.
At the same time, the hatchback is even more compact than the sedan. We also note that the new generation cars have become a little larger, which has a positive effect on the space and ergonomics of the interior: four adults can comfortably fit inside.
Hatchback exterior
Let's see what design solutions the manufacturer offers. On the sides of the hood there are two pronounced ribs. The radiator grille is made in the shape of a trapezoid. The bumper is quite large; at the very bottom on the sides there are places for fog lights. However, the optics of the headlight stand out most clearly. The Chevrolet Aveo T300 headlight has a rectangular shape. There are two clearly defined circles inside it. They look very impressive on a black background. Closer to the wing there is a rectangular turn signal. The roof is practically straight, only at the rear there is a slight downward slope. Looking at the front of the Chevrolet Aveo T300, you immediately notice its predatory features. It is these lines that have already become a kind of calling card of this brand. The rear of the car is no less expressive. The same round headlights, the original shape of the trunk lid, arched glass and a small bumper give the car brightness and style. The blown wheel arches are an excellent addition. The rear doors have integrated handles. With this decision, the manufacturer showed a desire for improvement.
Interior
The interior decoration of the Aveo T300 is no less attractive than its appearance. Even despite the budget materials and hard plastic used in the finishing.
The interior of the foreign car turned out to be modern, presentable and sporty in places. Just look at the extravagant dashboard (reminiscent of a motorcycle) with a large tachometer and a digital speedometer with blue backlight. This cannot be found among competitors. The center console also looks interesting. It combines round and rectangular air ducts, textured and smooth plastic.
The steering wheel with its sporty design also looks organic. It is quite massive, but at the same time absolutely not bulky. In the center there is a standard radio (with radio, CD, AUX and USB), below there are large switches for controlling the heating, air conditioning and heating system.
As for ergonomics, the Chevrolet Aveo's interior is very comfortable - spacious seats, a double and spacious glove compartment, many cup holders, niches and compartments for storing small items. There is also enough space in the cabin. Even tall drivers or passengers can fit comfortably inside this car.
Perhaps, with regards to the interior, the only complaints are about sound insulation. The noise from the street and the engine compartment can be heard quite clearly. But do not forget that this is the norm for the B-segment, where almost all of the Chevrolet Aveo’s “classmates” cannot boast of the best “noise”.
Hatchback technical equipment
It's time to look under the hood of the Chevrolet Aveo T300. What is in store for the car enthusiast here? The car is equipped with four types of engines. The weakest in this line is the 1229 cc unit. cm. Its rated power is 70 hp. With. The unit makes 5600 revolutions per minute. Gasoline type. Available only with a 5-speed manual transmission. By the way, all drivers speak only positively about the latter.
The sixteen-valve 1.2-liter unit will provide a power of 86 hp. With. The maximum speed is fixed at 171 km/h. The car accelerates to 100 km/h in approximately 13 seconds. On average, it consumes about 6 liters of gasoline.
The working volume of the next unit is 1.4 liters. Its power is fixed at 100 hp. With. In one minute the unit makes 6000 revolutions. It is equipped with a manual transmission and a 6-speed automatic transmission. Maximum speed is within 175 km/h. The car accelerates from a standstill in 12-13 seconds. In the combined driving cycle, the car will consume about 7 liters.
And the last unit that comes with the hatchback is a 1.6-liter engine. It will delight the driver with a power of 115 hp. With. Type – petrol. It is equipped with both automatic and manual transmission. Its maximum speed can reach almost 190 km/h. Accelerates in 11 seconds. On average, it spends about 6 liters per 100 kilometers.
Brief description of the sedan
So, having dealt with the hatchback, we can begin to consider the Chevrolet Aveo with a sedan body. The first thing we pay attention to is the length of the body. Due to the luggage compartment of the sedan, it is larger than that of the hatchback. This figure is 4399 mm. But the width and height fully correspond to the body type described above. The same can be said about the wheelbase. But the volume of the luggage compartment will please drivers. It is 502 liters, while the hatchback has only 290 liters when folded and 653 liters if the rear seats are removed. Spare parts for the Chevrolet Aveo sedan are manufactured at the Kaliningrad Automobile Plant. The third-generation model is equipped with 15-17-inch wheels.
What's the result?
The price range for the Chevrolet Aveo II in Russia is somewhere from 300,000 rubles for the first copies of 2011–2012 with a manual transmission to 500,000 rubles for the latest models of 2015 with an automatic transmission. For the money indicated, the car can definitely be recommended for consideration. Inexpensive options will most likely require replacing the valve cover gasket, shaking up the suspension and, most likely, replacing the clutch, and on versions with an automatic transmission it is best to immediately add an oil change in the box. Taking into account the mass of options for non-original and inexpensive spare parts, for relatively little money you can get a stylish and fairly reliable, but not too sophisticated car for every day.
The editors of the “Engine” magazine express gratitude for your assistance in preparing the material.
One of the brightest representatives of the modern B-class is the Chevrolet Aveo in the T300 body, which debuted on the Russian market in 2012. What makes the appearance of this model memorable? What was fundamentally new about it compared to the previous generation? What strengths and weaknesses have experts identified in this “Korean with American roots” in their numerous reviews? We will tell you about this and much more in this article.
Design features of the sedan
The hatchback and sedan at the front do not have distinctive design features. All the same blown wheel arches, original headlights, ribbed hood and two-tier radiator grille. Looking from the side, you can see that the windows are made in the shape of a trapezoid. The roof line is almost flat. Now let's see what's in the back. First of all, we emphasize that the Chevrolet Aveo (sedan) bumper is not large in size. It is dominated by smooth lines that flow into the wheel arches. The brightest features are the headlights. They are the ones who draw attention to themselves. The main color in which they are made is red. The trunk lid is massive.
External dimensions
For the Chevrolet Aveo, the dimensions depend on the year of production and body configuration. First generation cars have been produced since 2002 in hatchback and sedan bodies (data given in mm):
- Aveo hatchback (T200) has the following dimensions: length – 3920, width – 1680, body height – 1505. Vehicle weight is 1030 kg. The concept uses a large number of aluminum components, which made it possible to optimally reduce the weight of the supporting structure.
- Aveo sedan (T200) has the following characteristics: 4310x1710x1505. Weight 1047 kg. Despite its modest weight, the model shows good acceleration dynamics and stable speed with a load of more than 500 kg.
In 2005, the sedan was restyled, and in 2007, the hatchback version was updated. At the same time, the dimensions of the body, its length and height, as well as ground clearance and weight remained the same. Security parameters were strengthened, and changes also affected the power unit and additional security systems.
The second generation Aveo rolled off the production line in 2011 and is still in production today. As in the first generation, the models are presented in hatchback and sedan bodies (dimensions in mm):
- The hatchback (T300) has parameters: 4039x1735x1516, weight 1168 kg.
- The sedan (T300) has a body of the following dimensions: 4397x 1735x1516. Weight 1192 kg.
Equipment and cost of the sedan
As mentioned above, the Chevrolet Aveo T300 sedan model will be equipped in Russia with only a 1.6-liter engine. In LT trim, it is paired with a five-speed transmission. You can buy a 2014 model for 550 thousand rubles. (basic equipment). Those who prefer to drive a car with an automatic transmission will have to pay at least 585 thousand rubles. This transmission is designed for 6 steps. The maximum speed of the car in this configuration is 186 km/h. In the city it will consume up to 10 liters of gasoline. In a mixed cycle, this figure will drop to 7 liters.
