The Aveo has played a vital role in Chevrolet's success, which, in 2007, reached a new peak by chalking up total sales of 457,200 units across Europe. In spring 2008, the successor to the Kalos will be available at Chevrolet dealerships. The most significant features of this fundamentally reworked model are its striking exterior, a high-class interior, and a new, even more efficient gasoline engine. Like its notchback stable mate, the new hatchback model will now be called Aveo throughout Europe.
