Chevrolet Aveo hatch aka Aveo U-VA in India, is certainly undergoing a facelift. Last week Chevrolet displayed their latest small car product Chevrolet Aveo RS on Detroit Auto Show dais, many believed that Aveo RS could be 2011 Chevrolet Aveo. But that belief is now thrashed, now these spy images suggest that Chevrolet is testing a city car version of this performance car.
In US Chevrolet revises Aveo to Aveo RS. The Chevrolet Aveo RS is powered by 1.4L Ecotec engine which can develop 138 hp raw power at peak. The body style of Aveo is retained in Aveo RS, so it is five door hatchback with five passenger capacity. With launch of Aveo RS Chevrolet wants to attract more young crowd to Aveo RS by projecting Aveo as a value for money hatchback car. Aveo RS is longer and wider than current Aveo, that means New Aveo will more roomier and spacious than the existing one.
Chevrolet launched a low cost sedan in China. This sedan officially labelled as Chevrolet Sail is primarily intended to replace Opel Corsa Sedan there. Media reports suggest that Chevrolet may replace the European version of Aveo Sedan with this new low cost sedan. The design and styling of this new low cost sedan is a mixture of two Chevrolet products Aveo and Cruze.
Chevrolet Aveo the hatchback doing moderately well in European market.But it’s Indian avatar Chevrolet Aveo U-VA is doing terribly bad.Now General Motors is all set for changing the international edition of Aveo.The available spy suggest the New Aveo, (probably Chevrolet Viva) is nearing the mass production line.The commercial launch may happen by end of 2011 starting from U.S.
The Chevrolet Viva is based on Gamma-II chassis platform.The body styles may include four door sedan and five door hatchback.The engine variants and their detailed specifications are not available at this moment.Chevrolet will replace the their B-Segment offering Aveo in American and other European markets with Viva.
There is no word about replacement of Chevrolet U-VA in India, though we feel GM India should seriously consider replacing this hatch with an eligible candidates like Chevrolet Agile, which is a new offering in Argentina and there it continues to make ripple in market or this Chevrolet Viva.Hope our readers will agree with our opinion.
There is a another interesting view point, both Chevrolet Agile and Chevrolet Viva could be same.But we don’t take this as reliable one, as is there a point in keeping Viva camouflaged as Agile is already launched in Argentina.Anyway wait for few more weeks we may be able to solve this mystery.
Stay tuned for further updates!

Chevrolet Viva aka Agile aka New U-VA test car captured in a video.The Chevrolet Agile is simply looking great in available video.The size of this Chevrolet hatch is sufficient enough gift nightmare to many available hatches including Ford Fiesta,Fiat Punto and Honda Jazz.The front and rear grille are not visible in existing image.The first impression is Chevrolet Viva have many things common between Opel Corsa D.Watch the video and leave a comment.
