Power

The 2009 Chevrolet Aveo featured a standard 1.6-liter Ecotec inline-4 engine that produced 103 horsepower and 107 lb-ft of torque. It came with either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. The 5-speed manual provided a more engaging and responsive driving experience, while the automatic transmission offered smoother shifts and ease of use. In terms of performance, the Aveo had a 0-60 mph time of approximately 10.5 seconds with the manual transmission and 12 seconds with the automatic. It had a top speed of around 115 mph.

Interior Comfort and Cargo

Inside, the 2009 Chevy Aveo offers a basic and functional cabin. The materials used are mostly hard plastics, which make the interior feel somewhat cheap. However, the seats are relatively comfortable, and the driving position is good. The front seats offer decent legroom and headroom, but the rear seats are cramped, especially for taller passengers. The Aveo's cargo space is also limited. With the rear seats up, there's just 10.2 cubic feet of cargo space. However, folding down the rear seats expands cargo space to 22.2 cubic feet. This is still less than what most other subcompact sedans offer.

Infotainment Safety Warranty

The 2009 Chevrolet Aveo offered a range of safety features for its time, including anti-lock brakes, traction control, and stability control. Driver-assistance features were limited, with only a tire pressure monitoring system available.

Warranty and maintenance coverage for the Aveo was competitive for its class, with a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a 5-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Scheduled maintenance was recommended every 5,000 miles.

Infotainment and connectivity features in the Aveo were basic, with an AM/FM radio and a single-disc CD player being the standard setup. Some models offered a premium audio system with six speakers and an auxiliary input jack.
