Muscat, Oman –  The All New 2007 Aveo is a totally new car with quiet and dynamic driving experience, featuring a more dynamic look and attractive interior, as well as generous features that are rare in this segment.   Already one of the best selling models in its segment, it is a surprisingly roomy, refined entry-level car that delivers several unexpected extras at an unbelievably affordable price. 

 The 2007 Aveo is a true sedan. The front and rear bumpers, radiator grille, headlights and taillights with cylinder-type lamps, outside rear view mirrors, long outside door handles, aluminium wheels and wheel covers along with edged side character lines, hood character lines that extend to the front bumper, round fog lamps, an optional rear spoiler and 15 inch wheels have all been styled to add a sense of sportiness to the Aveo’s progressive design.

 The Aveo has a wheelbase of 2,480 millimetres and a height of 1,495 millimetres. Its overall length of 4,310 mm and width of 1,710 mm are the greatest in its segment. These large exterior dimensions provide the basis for a very generous interior.

 The Aveo has a number of amenities that are generally found in higher end, higher priced vehicles. These include tilt steering, a driver’s seat armrest, seat-belt height adjusters, power windows, power door locks, intermittent wipers and remote controlled central door locking.  The use of wood grain accents on the door panels and instrument panel and optional leather seats provide a luxury feel.

 The Aveo is not just good looking; it is roomy, offering headroom, shoulder room and hip room that are among the best in its class.  A high seating position provides Aveo passengers with a better view of the road ahead.   The Aveo’s generous trunk provides improved capacity of up to 400 litres.  Convenient split folding rear seats increase the amount of space for carrying cargo.

 The Aveo's front wheel drive chassis system features MacPherson struts in front and a torsion-beam suspension in the rear.  The steering gear is situated on the front suspension cross-member, which improves shock absorption and provides more precise and stable handling. Rack & pinion hydraulic assist steering adds to the Aveo’s driving pleasure. The wide stance with a front tread of 1,450 mm and a rear tread of 1,430 mm, which are both among the best in the Aveo’s class, provides enhanced handling and makes the sedan very surefooted.  

 The Aveo offers strong occupant protection in the event of an accident. It all centres on the stable passenger cell, which is made predominantly of high strength steel. The B-pillar moves like a pendulum rather than being folded and protruding into the passenger compartment. Known as Tailor-Welded Blanking, or the pendulum method, this is normally used only in larger, upper segment vehicles.

 Providing additional safety are dual front air bags and seat-belt pretensioners, in addition to four-channel, four-sensor anti-lock brakes.

 The 2007 Aveo comes with a 1.4-litre DOHC four-cylinder engine, matched to a choice of a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission.
