Overview

The 2010 Chevrolet Aveo Sedan makes for an excellent contender in the subcompact sedan. With 3 trims on offer, the Chevrolet Aveo has a base MSRP of $11,965, with prices going all the way up to an MSRP of $15,365, competing directly with the 2010 Hyundai Accent, and 2010 Kia Rio. Only a 1.6L Inline-4 engine is offered, mated to a 5-speed manual or an optional 4-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 108 horsepower and 105 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 10.3 seconds, the 2010 Chevrolet Aveo Sedan maintains a combined fuel economy of 30 MPG. Chevrolet offers the Aveo in 8 stunning colors, with the Summit White being a particular favorite of ours. Currently, with around 360 units of the Aveo sedan available for sale, you could get an average price of $5,500. However, one can generally expect a savings of $606 on average, making this a perfect time to browse for a 2010 Chevy Aveo sedan.

Buying Advice

The 2010 Chevy Aveo Sedan is a subcompact sedan that offers a roomy cabin with lots of features for more practicality. With that comes a good mpg rating that was improved due to the revised manual transmission in the 2010 model. Priced under $16,000, we can’t expect a performance sedan, and the Aveo just does the same. For people who are looking for a really affordable sedan for the usage of point A to point B, the 2010 Aveo should be a good choice.
