Chevrolet Aveo T300: technical specifications, prices, reviews

The Chevrolet Aveo T250 is loved by many domestic drivers. However, over time, its technical characteristics have become outdated. That is why the production of the third generation began in 2012. It was assigned the index T300. This car has taken a leading position in the budget class. The Chevrolet Aveo T300 pleased car enthusiasts with a fresh design solution. It is presented on the market in two body styles: sedan and hatchback. These models were first demonstrated in 2010 and 2011. It is sold in 50 countries around the world.

Hatchback characteristics

Chevrolet Aveo hatchback belongs to the class of compact cars. Has five doors. 5 people can fit in the cabin at the same time. The length of its body is 4039 mm. The width of 1735 mm is quite enough to ensure that the cabin does not feel cramped, and each of the passengers is in the most comfortable conditions. The height indicator can be attributed to standard values, it is 1517 mm. The wheelbase of the hatchback is 2525 mm, and the front and rear tracks are the same. Ground clearance of 155 mm allows the car to be used not only in urban environments, but also on dirt roads. This parameter is quite enough to overcome small obstacles. The fuel tank holds a maximum of 46 liters of gasoline. The maximum weight is about 1.6 tons, the curb weight is just over 1.1 tons. Due to the fact that the car is assembled at the domestic GAZ enterprise, spare parts for the Chevrolet Aveo are inexpensive and can be purchased at any specialized center.

Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of the Chevrolet Aveo 2 in the T300 body

The body itself resists corrosion very well, but the weak paint coating is a minus; chips appear quickly. Drivers also complain about the low ground clearance.

The interior elements are very worn, so it is easy to determine the mileage from them. The heated seats and mirrors often fail, and the cable comes off the air flow control washer.

We didn’t have to choose a motor, however, there are relatively few complaints about the F16D4: low phase regulator life, oil and coolant leaks, electrical failures.

The D16 manual transmission is generally reliable, annoying only with periodic leaks, but the 6T30 automatic transmission is not pleasing. You can read about all his illnesses in a separate article.

In the front suspension, only the stabilizer struts are often changed, but in the rear there are many weak points: these are shock absorbers and beam silent blocks, they only last for 50,000 km.

The rumble from below comes either from the front brake calipers or from rotted heat shields in the exhaust system. The former can be replaced, and the latter can be thrown away.

Hatchback exterior

Let's see what design solutions the manufacturer offers. On the sides of the hood there are two pronounced ribs. The radiator grille is made in the shape of a trapezoid. The bumper is quite large; at the very bottom on the sides there are places for fog lights. However, the optics of the headlight stand out most clearly. The Chevrolet Aveo T300 headlight has a rectangular shape. There are two clearly defined circles inside it. They look very impressive on a black background. Closer to the wing there is a rectangular turn signal. The roof is practically straight, only at the rear there is a slight downward slope. Looking at the front of the Chevrolet Aveo T300, you immediately notice its predatory features. It is these lines that have already become a kind of calling card of this brand. The rear of the car is no less expressive. The same round headlights, the original shape of the trunk lid, arched glass and a small bumper give the car brightness and style. The blown wheel arches are an excellent addition. The rear doors have integrated handles. With this decision, the manufacturer showed a desire for improvement.

Interior

The interior decoration of the Aveo T300 is no less attractive than its appearance. Even despite the budget materials and hard plastic used in the finishing.

The interior of the foreign car turned out to be modern, presentable and sporty in places. Just look at the extravagant dashboard (reminiscent of a motorcycle) with a large tachometer and a digital speedometer with blue backlight. This cannot be found among competitors. The center console also looks interesting. It combines round and rectangular air ducts, textured and smooth plastic.

The steering wheel with its sporty design also looks organic. It is quite massive, but at the same time absolutely not bulky. In the center there is a standard radio (with radio, CD, AUX and USB), below there are large switches for controlling the heating, air conditioning and heating system.

As for ergonomics, the Chevrolet Aveo's interior is very comfortable - spacious seats, a double and spacious glove compartment, many cup holders, niches and compartments for storing small items. There is also enough space in the cabin. Even tall drivers or passengers can fit comfortably inside this car.

Perhaps, with regards to the interior, the only complaints are about sound insulation. The noise from the street and the engine compartment can be heard quite clearly. But do not forget that this is the norm for the B-segment, where almost all of the Chevrolet Aveo’s “classmates” cannot boast of the best “noise”.

Brief description of the sedan

So, having dealt with the hatchback, we can begin to consider the Chevrolet Aveo with a sedan body. The first thing we pay attention to is the length of the body. Due to the luggage compartment of the sedan, it is larger than that of the hatchback. This figure is 4399 mm. But the width and height fully correspond to the body type described above. The same can be said about the wheelbase. But the volume of the luggage compartment will please drivers. It is 502 liters, while the hatchback has only 290 liters when folded and 653 liters if the rear seats are removed. Spare parts for the Chevrolet Aveo sedan are manufactured at the Kaliningrad Automobile Plant. The third-generation model is equipped with 15-17-inch wheels.

What's the result?

The price range for the Chevrolet Aveo II in Russia is somewhere from 300,000 rubles for the first copies of 2011–2012 with a manual transmission to 500,000 rubles for the latest models of 2015 with an automatic transmission. For the money indicated, the car can definitely be recommended for consideration. Inexpensive options will most likely require replacing the valve cover gasket, shaking up the suspension and, most likely, replacing the clutch, and on versions with an automatic transmission it is best to immediately add an oil change in the box. Taking into account the mass of options for non-original and inexpensive spare parts, for relatively little money you can get a stylish and fairly reliable, but not too sophisticated car for every day.

They are the ones who draw attention to themselves. The main color in which they are made is red. The trunk lid is massive.

Equipment and cost of the sedan
