The Chevrolet Aveo is a compact car that was introduced in 2002, primarily targeting budget-conscious buyers with a practical, fuel-efficient offering. The vehicle has undergone multiple generational upgrades over the years, each bringing technical improvements. The first generation (T200; 2002-2011) was built on the GM Daewoo K platform and came with a 1.2-1.6L inline-4 engine lineup, featuring both manual and automatic transmission options. The focus was on affordability, simple design, and straightforward driving experience.
The second generation (T250; 2006-2011) saw an improved design, with a revised suspension for better comfort and more engine options, such as the 1.4L and 1.6L models, improving both performance and fuel economy. In 2011, the T300 generation was launched, offering more refined engines (1.2L, 1.4L, and 1.6L options), better safety features, and a higher quality interior. This version also introduced more advanced technology, such as infotainment systems and an enhanced chassis for improved handling. Production continued until around 2020, with a significant number of units manufactured worldwide.
The total number of Chevrolet Aveo cars produced across all generations is estimated to be over 4 million units globally, with peak production occurring in the mid-2010s when the model was particularly popular in Europe, Asia, and Latin America.

However, common criticisms include the underpowered engines, especially for highway speeds, and the limited comfort of the interior, particularly in earlier models. Build quality and road noise have also been pointed out as cons, with several users describing the cabin materials as basic and less durable compared to competitors.
