Add up Aveo's smart looks, surprising interior roominess and outstanding fuel economy – 27 mpg in the city and
35 mpg on the highway (manual transmission) – and it's easy to understand why buyers from all walks of life
have made it America's best-selling economy car.
Chevrolet Aveo enters the 2006 model year with enhanced levels of safety and convenience. The safety changes
for '06 include standard side-impact air bags (seat mounted) for the driver and front passenger, as well as
new, advanced two-stage frontal air bags with a passenger sensor cut-off switch. Also, the rear safety belts
are longer. These changes enhance a vehicle already renowned for safety.
The Aveo lineup for '06 includes a four-door sedan and a stylish five-door body style. Each seats five adults
and is available in three trim levels: the Special Value Model, LS and LT. Aveo's size enhances
maneuverability in crowded city environments, but its room – one of the roomiest vehicles in its segment – and
highway manners make it a comfortable choice for longer road trips. Theater-style seating for the rear seats
helps provide excellent visibility for all passengers.
In addition to ample passenger room, Aveo offers clever storage features in the front console, a passenger
seat back pocket, and accessory hooks at the top of each front headrest for suspending shopping bags. The rear
seat of the four-door folds flat for more cargo room and allows pass-through from the trunk. The five-door
offers the only rear seat in the segment that folds flat and flips forward, for a segment-leading 42 cubic
feet (1,190 L) of cargo space.
All models are powered by the E-TEC II 1.6L four-cylinder, a sophisticated DOHC/16-valve engine with
variable-geometry intake that develops 103 horsepower (97 kw) at 6,000 rpm and 107 lb.-ft. (145 Nm) of torque.
Electronic throttle control is new for '06. A five-speed manual transmission is standard and a four-speed
automatic is available. The automatic features a "hold control" button. Selecting "hold control" turns the
four-speed automatic into a three-speed manual, with the driver changing gears by moving through the gated
shifter. The "hold control" mode also enables the driver to better control wheel spin at low speeds on
slippery surfaces by manually selecting a higher gear.
Aveo now meets the ULEV II emissions standard which, along with its outstanding fuel economy, makes it one of
the cleanest, most economical vehicles available in North America . EPA ratings are 27 city/35 highway with
the manual transmission and 26/34 with the automatic.
Four new exterior colors are available in MY 2006: Medium Gray, Icelandic Blue, Sport Red and Cosmic Silver
replace Pastel Blue, Key Lime, Sport Red and Galaxy Silver. Though sharing the same name, the 2006 Sport Red
is a different color than the previous hue.
