Aveo sets sights on Geneva

The Chevrolet Aveo will make its debut at the Geneva Motor Show, which takes place in Switzerland during March.

The three-door version of the vehicle joins the five-door version - unveiled last year at last year's Frankfurt Show.

The American manufacturer expects the model to become its top-seller in Europe over the next 12 months - following the launch of the five-door in May, followed by the three-door the following month.

Power will come from a 1.2-litre engine with a healthy 84PS, with CO2 emissions of 132g/km.

It will also be built in Europe - with Chevrolet's new production facility in Warsaw, Poland, is about to begin full-scale production of the Aveo.

Versions of the Aveo are presently sold under five General Motors brand around the world - with the car going under the name of the Daewoo Kalos in South Korea.

Further details of the car's UK specification and pricing will be available nearer the time.
