The Chevrolet Aveo is a subcompact car released in 2003 from GM Daewoo, and based on the Daewoo Kalos.
In other markets such as the United States and Canada and 2004 in North America, it replaced the slow-selling
Daewoo Lanos (Daewoo's North American lineup lasted only from 1999 to 2002). The Aveo is also a de facto late
successor to the Chevrolet Metro subcompact sold only in North America, which had been discontinued in 2000
without a similar replacement.
The correct pronunciation of "Aveo" is not clear as some reviewers give it as
uh-VAY-oh and others as AH-vay-oh.
The Chevrolet web site and literature offer no guidance.
The car is based on a GM Daewoo platform called T200, which itself is a replacement for the T100 platform used in Daewoo Lanos.
There are no other vehicles using that platform, so the vehicle itself is also referred to as T200.
In North America, 5-door hatchback and 4-door sedan models are sold.
The new 2007 Aveo sedan debuted in
January 2006 at the Greater Los Angeles Auto Show.
Sales commenced in North America in August 2006. Additionally, the car is also sold as Pontiac Wave (4-door and 5-door) and Suzuki Swift+ (5-door) in Canada.
As of the 2007 model year the Aveo hatchback has been renamed Aveo5 in the USA, conforming with the naming scheme used by GM Canada (where the T200 hatchback has always been called Aveo5). The Aveo is also sold in Latin American countries such as Ecuador (3-door hatchback), Venezuela (3-door 5-door and 4-door), Colombia (3-door, 5-door and 4-door) and Chile (all body styles).
