European consumers will get a chance next spring to buy a new hatchback version of the Korean-engineered Chevrolet Aveo sedan that's been on sale for the past year in North America. Both models are variants of the Daewoo Gentra, made by General Motors' Korean affiliate and sold around the world under various brand names, including Chevy, Pontiac and Holden.The European Aveo gets an aggressive new face, with overall styling cues inspired by the WTCC Ultra concept that was unveiled last fall at the Paris show. The Aveo hatchback will be formally introduced next month at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show.
It is unclear if the new Aveo hatchback will join the Aveo sedan in North America. Currently, Chevrolet sells an older version of the hatchback, badged Aveo 5, as its entry-level model in the U.S., with prices starting from $10,560.
In Europe, the car will offer a choice of an 84-horsepower 1.2-liter or a 98-hp 1.4-liter engine.
