Chevrolet Aveo specifications clearance. Chevrolet Aveo dimensions, dimensions, ground clearance, trunk, ground clearance Chevrolet Aveo. Chevrolet Aveo sedan dimensions

The clearance of the Chevrolet Aveo is the distance between the road and the lowest part of the vehicle. To be more precise, the clearance is considered, according to the factory standards, from the threshold of the vehicle to the road. Ground clearance directly affects the vehicle's aerodynamics as well as streamlining.

Ground clearance on sedan, hatback and station wagon

Usually, car manufacturers set different ground clearance for different body types. In the case of the Chevrolet Aveo, the manufacturer has set one ground clearance for all three body types: hatchet, sedan and station wagon. So, the ground clearance is 150 mm according to the factory standards.

When installing tuning parts, the ground clearance will change. So, if you install the engine crankcase protection, then the indicator will decrease by almost 15 mm, and will average 130 mm. And if the car is being finalized with body tuning, then the ground clearance may decrease by 120 mm. Therefore, motorists often adjust the ride height using special means.

Methods for increasing ground clearance

Since the road surface on the territory of the CIS countries, basically, leaves much to be desired, pits and bumps, many Aveo owners are trying to increase the clearance height in order to avoid damage to the protective elements of the body, such as bumpers and door sills. This can be done in several ways. The most common are the installation of spacers or springs with shock absorbers. Let's consider both options.

Spacers

Spacers are rubber-metal plates that are inserted between the body and the shock absorber to increase the vehicle's ride height. These rework parts can be purchased at car markets or auto dealerships. Since the cost is much lower than shock absorbers and springs, spacers are preferred by most motorists.

Installation of spacers.

Consider the sequence of work to install the spacers:

We dismantle the shock absorber strut along with all the components.
We dismantle the metal cover that fixes the spring.
Install the spacer so that it is between the two metal plates.
We mount the mounting bolts, with which the stand will then be fixed to the glass.
We install the stand on a standard seat.
Thus, you can increase the ground clearance on the Chevrolet Aveo by 15-20 mm.

Shock absorbers and springs

Another way to increase ground clearance on the Aveo is by installing tall dampers and springs. To do this, you will need to find a set of non-standard chassis to increase ground clearance. Usually, motorists go to tuning stores or the car market to buy these types of spare parts.

Installation is done by hand. Old parts are dismantled from the car, and new ones are easily installed in the old seat. So, there is no need to alter or customize anything. The only caveat is that there may be large fastening bolts that need to be cut after installation on the car.

Output

The clearance of the Chevrolet Aveo for all body types is one and is 145 mm, according to the technical documentation provided by the manufacturer. So, in order to increase the ground clearance, motorists use different methods. The most common is the installation of spacers.

Why you should know about the dimensions of the Chevrolet Aveo hatchback
The Chevrolet Aveo belongs to the compact C-class, but its design suggests the opposite - the car of the current generation looks presentable and more impressive against the background of its predecessor. The austere and fashionable design is really capable of creating the illusion of a large car. But in fact, the Aveo of the Aveo hatchback is slightly more than four meters long. In this article, it is worth considering in detail the parameters of the Aveo hatchback body, because many motorists are still confused about the car classes.

Dimensions Chevrolet Aveo hatchback (dimensions)

It will be interesting to compare the dimensions of the current Aveo with the previous generation of the hatchback.

Length - 4,039 mm
Width - 1,735 mm
Height - 1 517 mm
Wheelbase - 2,525 mm
The track of the front and rear wheels is 1497 and 1495 mm, respectively
Trunk volume - 290 liters, with the rear seats folded 653 liters.
Fuel tank size - 46 liters
Ground clearance or clearance of the Chevrolet Aveo hatchback - 155 mm
Curb weight from 1168 kg, gross weight 1613 kg

The length of the previous generation Aveo in the hatchback body reaches 3920 mm, the width is 1680 mm, and the height is 1505 mm. Thus, the newer car has increased in all respects. The car has a front track of 1497 mm, and a rear track is 1495 mm. The maximum amount of gasoline that can be filled into the Aveo fuel tank is 46 liters. The curb weight of the car is not less than 1168 kg, and the gross weight reaches 1613 kg.

Chevrolet recently introduced the next generation of the Aveo 2016 model year, which will not be on sale in Russia soon. Therefore, in this article, it is worth considering in detail exactly the current Aveo, which is in stable demand in the domestic market.
Wheelbase
The wheelbase reaches 2525 mm. Interestingly, the predecessor has this figure of only 2480 mm. Thus, in a newer machine, the increase in internal space in length is 45 mm.
Ground clearance
I must say right away that the Chevrolet Aveo is well adapted to Russian road and climatic conditions. For example, the ground clearance of a car of 150 mm is quite consistent with the clearance of competitors. These are the official data of the manufacturer, which in fact may differ depending on the dimensions of the tires installed. For example, the profile height is very important. In Aveo, it can be 15, 16 and 17 inches based on the configuration. With each of these wheels, the car becomes slightly higher or lower, although the difference cannot be noticed with the naked eye.

Trunk
Considering the characteristics of the Chevrolet Aveo hatchback, it is worth paying special attention to its trunk. Its capacity is 290 liters, which is not bad at all for a C-class hatchback, but could be better. But the Chevrolet Aveo, like other modern classmates, boasts a rear-seat backrest folding function, allowing for an impressive 653 liters of luggage space. Thanks to this, the youth hatchback turns into a mini-van for transporting, say, ice cream for pharmaceutical drugs or perfumery.
Aveo for drivers and summer residents
Having familiarized yourself with the dimensions of the Chevrolet Aveo hatchback, we can say that a seemingly sports car is able to satisfy the needs of not only active and young motorists, but also family summer residents.

Since 2011, Chevrolet has introduced a second-generation budget car, which differs in appearance from previous models, but remains recognizable. The design, body dimensions, the volume of the trunk and the interior have changed. The new dimensions of the Chevrolet Aveo sedan made the family car more spacious and practical.

The new version is presented in two models.

Produced on the Kaliningrad "Avtotor" Chevrolet Aveo with a sedan version body.
On the basis of GAZ, a new modification of the Chevrolet Aveo five-door hatchback.

Chevrolet car

The budget car T250 has ceased to represent serious competition for the same type of cars from other companies. Therefore, a model has been created that will be sold in 50 countries where Chevrolet has dealerships and showrooms. The new model was developed on the basis of Gamma2, taking into account the wishes of buyers, especially complaints about the difficulty of getting comfortable in the cabin, especially when driving, for people of tall stature.

William Durant founded the automobile company for the independent production of family cars in 1911 as a subsidiary of the General Motors Corporation he built three years earlier. The company got its name from the second partner, who was at the same time a racer and a leading car developer - Louis Chevrolet. Currently, models produced by manufacturers from South Korea are being sold in Europe and Russia.

Chevrolet aveo sedan

When developing a new Chevrolet model, all similar class B cars of competing companies, which were successfully sold in car dealerships in various countries, were studied. The new Aveo sedan has become larger in all sizes, received a new look, more sporty and attractive to young people and still recognizable and convenient for married couples with children to travel and use the car as a work machine.

Dimensions (edit)

The increased dimensions of the passenger compartment and trunk made the T300 the most compact and convenient of the whole range of small cars and family cars. At a budgetary cost, the interior trim for the most part is not inferior to models of a higher price range.

The dashboard is like a motorcycle, and the sporty streamlined and fast-paced body shape, characteristic of all Chevrolet cars, made the Chevrolet Aveo sedan and T300 hatchback attractive, stylish, stable, and as a result - in demand.

External dimensions of the car

The height of the Т300 model is 1517 mm, which is almost 12 mm higher than the previous models. At the same time, the ground clearance remains the same and ranges from 150 to 155 mm, depending on the type of tires and disks. As a result, the headroom has increased and the car has become more comfortable.

The car has become wider by 25 mm. In the 2004 - 2011 models, it was 1710 mm in size, the new horizontal dimensions were 1735 mm, and with the mirrors unfolded in the working position, 2004 mm. Now the Chevrolet Aveo sedan has three passenger seats in the back, which can easily accommodate adult large passengers. Even behind the driver, a man with a height of 180 centimeters can sit freely.

The length has changed upwards by 89 mm, and became 4399 mm, the previous models were 4310 mm. Together with the length, the wheelbase changed - it became 2525 mm, which made the car more stable, and at the same time the maneuverability remained the same as it was with the distance between the axles of the wheel sets of 2480 mm. The volume of the trunk has also increased significantly.

The track has leveled off and the difference between the front and rear wheels is only 2 mm, this is 1497/1495 mm. In Chevrolet sedan cars manufactured before 2012, the difference was 20 mm, and it was 1450/1430 mm in the center of the track. The size of the disks has undergone major changes. On the Chevrolet T250 sedan, they were from 13 to 15 inches. The Aveo sedan with 17-inch wheels looks more aggressive and dynamic.

The curb weight due to the installation of additional equipment has increased by 50 kg, from the previous 997 kg. At the same time, the carrying capacity has become less, which can disappoint the owners of the car, who use it as a family car for long trips and as a work car. The T300 sedan model has a curb weight of 1147, and the permissible total weight is 1598 kg, instead of 1500 kg of the T250 model range. The weight of the trailer is allowed with brakes, a ton, without brakes, half as much.

Interior dimensions

The Chevrolet Aveo sedan has a spacious five-seater saloon. The distance from the back of the driver's seat in the extreme far position to the rear seat is 203 mm, with a height of the latter of 350 mm and a width of 465 mm. At the same time, the ceiling height from the passenger's sofa is 929 mm. This allows a tall person to sit and have free legs and head position.

The driver's seat has been improved. If earlier, in a Chevrolet sedan, like in a Lada, only people with an average height, thin ones were placed, then in the Aveo T300 model a two-meter athlete can drive a car. Backrest arc size - the pedal is adjusted by moving the seat in the range of 854 - 1073 mm. The steering column also changes its position in the range of 463 - 524 mm from the plane of the floor, while the wheel turns 45 degrees, adjusting to the height of the person.

The driver's seat height is 318 mm with a width of 490 mm and a height to the ceiling of 968 mm. Taking into account the backrest, which has an orthopedic deflection and a backbone, the driver's seat is made as comfortable as possible.

Trunk volume

The upper part of the T300 sedan passes with a smooth line into the trunk lid, which is inflated and has a size to the bottom at the level of the wing of 562 mm. From the reclining backrest of the passenger seat to the rear wall 997 - 1627 mm. The result is a total trunk volume of 502 liters. For transporting luggage, you can use the space that opens when the seat is folded.

For comparison, we can say that on previous models of sedan cars from the Chevrolet company, the trunk volume was 375 - 400 cubic meters. At the same time, the volume of the gas tank has been increased from 45 to 46 liters.

Aesthetic look

The new Chevrolet Aveo sedan looks sporty, impetuous and a little predatory. The traditional radiator grille with chrome strip is replaced by a double false grille with shiny surround. Each of the four headlights is located in a separate well under the rounding of the bonnet. At the bottom there are fog lights in protruding round shades, like cannons.

The flowing roofline, characteristic of racing cars, is completed by a boot lid. Stamped lines along the body give the vehicle a swiftness. Large discs under the protruding arches of the fenders make it look aggressive and stable.

The harmony of the sedan's image is spoiled by the taillights. They are large, passing to the sides and too bulky and bright for fast-paced sports forms.

The torpedo has changed more significantly than the body. The dashboard is similar to the instrument cluster on racing motorcycles. All information about speed, revs and fuel consumption is displayed on one screen and is easy to read. Made an additional glove compartment and a case for glasses in the left front door.

In the Aveo, during the design, changes were made to the frame design and the adjustment of the steering link. As a result, the side roll when driving is almost completely removed. The car at the planned speed of 150 km / h is stable, obedient, without surprises in any driving mode. It behaves equally stable on city streets and highways.

Finally, the new Chevrolet Aveo 2012-2013 model year has reached Russian and Ukrainian buyers. In the spring of 2012, the new budget Chevrolet Aveo T300 sedan and hatchback in a five-door body version became available to domestic motorists.

Competitors Chevrolet Aveo in a new body in the B-class:

and
New Chevrolet:

Recall that the presentation of the Chevrolet Aveo T300 hatchback took place at the Paris Motor Show in September 2010. Chevrolet Aveo's new T300 sedan body was unveiled to the European public at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2011.
In North America and several other countries, the new Aveo is marketed under the Chevrolet Sonic name.

New sedan and hatchback body design

The new Chevrolet Aveo 2012-2013 represents the American automaker in the European B-class, although with its external dimensions it is an overgrowth of this segment.
Overall dimensions dimensions Chevrolet Aveo 2012-2013 in a new sedan and hatchback body are:

length - 4399 mm (4039 mm), width - 1735 mm, height - 1517 mm, wheelbase - 2525 mm,
clearance(ground clearance) - 150 mm.

From dry numbers, let's move on to the aesthetic perception of the new generation and review the Chevrolet Aveo.

The front part of the updated Aveo instantly "catches" the original solution of the front lighting technology, each of the four headlights is located in its own "plate". In the rich configuration of the LTZ, there are also added round "cannons" of foglights (absent in the base) and then the Chevrolet Aveo T300 looks at the road with six "eyes", like an Alfa Romeo 159. The trapezoidal two-level false radiator grille with chrome edging is made in the family style of large Chevrolets. The streamlined front bumper with a pronounced aerodynamic lip and aggressive edges transforms into the convex embossings of the circular wheel arches. The bonnet's U-ribs flow harmoniously into the A-pillars.

In profile, the new Aveo body - with neat and stylish rear-view mirrors, a high sill line, a bright edge on the top of the doors and a clear cut along the bottom. The T300 sedan differs from the hatchback only from the B-pillar.

Let's start the description of the rear and stern of the new Aveo with a sedan. The almost flat roofline merges into the rear window and then onto the small, high-positioned boot lid.

The shape of the lean rear of the sedan is spoiled by the lurid rear lights, which are in dissonance with the front lighting. A simple bumper in configuration, an immodest-sized cargo compartment lid hint at a decent trunk.
The flat roof of the hatchback breaks off at the rear and goes at right angles into the fifth door. The doors for the rear row passengers have a more convenient configuration and a chip in the form of a door handle lurking on the glass frame (at a quick glance, the five-door Aveo can easily be mistaken for a three-door). Behind the car with a powerful bumper, a small luggage compartment door and stylish "eyes" of the parking lights (echo the decision of the front light).

Salon - ergonomics, quality of materials and workmanship

Inside, the interior of the Chevrolet Aveo 2012-2013 continues to delight with pleasant surprises. A completely new front dashboard with a lot of niches, shelves and containers.

The impressive size of the salon has a dashboard, designed in the style of the younger Chevrolet Spark (motorcycle motifs), a round tachometer dial and an electronic speedometer display with separate windows for information lamps. The grippy steering wheel is comfortable (leather trim is optional), but the steering column is only height adjustable. On the center console there is a head unit (radio, CD MP3, AUX and USB), below there is a place to control the air conditioner with a heating system. The new Aveo boasts two glove compartments.
The front row seats are perfectly profiled, the adjustment range is enough even for people with a height of under 190 cm (driver's with a microlift), but the seat profile is not designed for obese drivers. Passengers in the second row are not as free and comfortable as in the front.

Better, of course, it will be together, the knees do not rest on the backs of the front seats, the roof does not press on the head, there is a heater for the rear passengers. Finishing materials at the level of representatives of the class (hard plastics, metallized inserts). The assembly of the cabin is far from German cars, in places small flaws are visible and the elements of the cabin creak.
In the base picking LS new Chevrolet Aveo 2012 sedan for Russian and Ukrainian buyers will be equipped with a radio with CD MP3 and 4 speakers, air conditioning (surcharge of 30,000 rubles), front windows, driver's seat lift, steering column height adjustment, central locking with remote control, iron discs R14, two airbags, ABC, BAC (emergency brake assist), EBD. In the richest LTZ configuration, the new Aveo T300 sedan and hatchback will add lumbar support for the driver's seat, cruise control, electric mirrors, heated mirrors and front seats, steering column adjustment for reach, light-alloy disks R16, front foglights, parking sensors, 6 airbags and a lot of pleasant things.
In a new body trunk The Chevrolet Aveo sedan has a serious 502 liters.

The trunk of the Aveo hatchback in a new body is more modest - 290 liters in the stowed state and the cargo capacity increases to 653 liters with the second row seats folded.

Specifications

For the third generation Chevrolet Aveo, the technical specifications are based on the original base, the car is built on the global GM Gamma 2 platform (like the Opel Corsa and the Opel Meriva). The front suspension of the new Aveo - MacPherson struts, rear torsion beam, disc brakes with ABC, BAC and EBD, electric power steering.
For the novelty, engines are provided: three gasoline and two diesel (for Europe):

Gasoline can be selected from: 1.2 liters. (86 hp), 1.4 liters. (100 hp), 1.6 l. (115 hp).
Diesel: 1.3 liters. VCDi (75 HP) and 1.3 liters. VCDi (95 HP).

In Russia and Ukraine, the Chevrolet Aveo in a new body is offered so far only with the most powerful 1.6-liter (115 hp) engine; 5 manual transmissions or 6 automatic transmissions are intended to help it.

Test Drive

The first impressions of the test drive of the 2012-2013 Chevrolet Aveo are ambiguous. Tight, European-style knocked down suspension, sharp (sometimes nervous) steering wheel, tenacious brakes, fast operation of the machine. In the city, driving the new Aveo, the driver feels great: the car accelerates quickly, brakes and steers perfectly, although even in small pits, the chassis clearly duplicates the profile of the road to the salon.
On the highway, the car begins to strain with sharp steering, unimportant directional stability (you constantly need to steer and return the car to a straight line), stiff suspension and mediocre sound and noise insulation.

Configurations and prices for 2012 and 2013

In Russia, the Aveo T300 sedan is offered in three trim levels: LS, LT, LTZ. Let's consider how much each of them costs.

Sedan price in Of Russia LS starts at 444,000 rubles, LT costs from 487,000 rubles (the version with 6АКПП is 33,000 more expensive), LTZ costs from 523,000 rubles.
The hatchback price for the LT 1.6 automatic gearbox is from 527,000 rubles, for the LTZ 1.6 automatic gearbox - from 563,000 rubles.

For those who are wondering how much Chevrolet Aveo costs in a new body in Ukraine:

sedan LT 1.6 (115 hp) 5 manual gearbox is estimated at 128,700 hryvnia, for the sedan LTZ 1.6 (115 hp) 6 automatic transmissions ask for 145080 hryvnia,
the price of the Aveo hatchback in the configuration LT 1.6 (115 hp) 5 manual gearbox costs 132,840 hryvnia, the cost of the LTZ 1.6 (115 hp) 6 automatic transmissions - 147 850 hryvnias.

Dimensions Chevrolet Aveo talk about its compactness, but the appearance of the car creates some illusion of a large car. In fact, the dimensions of the Chevrolet Aveo do not exceed 4 meters 40 centimeters for a sedan, and the size of the Aveo hatchback is even smaller.

This is what we are going to talk about today. By the way, you can read a full review of the characteristics of the Chevrolet Aveo with a photo, if you are only interested in dimensions, then this information is in this article.

If you compare the dimensions of the Chevrolet Aveo sedan the previous generation, it turns out that the new version has become larger. The length increased from 4,310 mm to 4,399 mm. Width from 1,710 to 1,735 mm, height was 1,505 mm became 1517. As for the old generation Aveo hatchback (T250), it was also smaller than the new hatch.

The increased size of the current generation Chevrolet Aveo (T300) has a positive impact on boot volume and cabin space. In the old version, the sedan had a trunk of 400 liters, the second generation has 502 liters of volume. The Aveo hatchback has increased its luggage compartment by 70 liters. Today the wheelbase is 2,525 mm; the previous version is only 2,480 mm. That is, the length of the cabin has increased by 4.5 centimeters.

Concerning clearance Chevrolet Aveo or ground clearance, the previous generation of the Aveo sedan had a clearance of 155 mm, and a hatchback of 150 mm. Today's Chevrolet Aveo has a 155mm ground clearance according to official figures, but is actually around 150mm. In any case, this is always a moot point. The reason for this is the ability to use different rims and tires with different profile heights. Indeed, you can put wheels on the Aveo, both 15 or 16 inches, and R 17. Believe me, any manipulations with the size of the wheels can change the clearance of any car, both in the direction of increasing and in the direction of decreasing the ground clearance. Detailed dimensions of the sedan and hatchback are below.
