subject: Check Out the Engines For the 2010 Chevy Aveo [print this page] Due to its very affordable price, the Chevy Aveo is one of the best selling small cars each year. Like most small affordable cars, the 2010 Chevy Aveo is not equipped with a powerful engine. The 2010 Chevy Aveo comes with a 1.6 liter four cylinder engine which produces only 103 horsepower and 107 pound-feet of torque. While the Aveo does not produce too much horsepower, consumer reviews mostly say the Aveo does well with the power it has.
The Chevy Aveo can also come as the Chevy Aveo5, but both trims use the 1.6 liter engine.
The 2010 Chevy Aveo comes standard with a four speed manual transmission, but a four speed automatic transmission can be purchased as an upgrade. Because of the weak engine, the Chevy Aveo has excellent fuel efficiency for a non-hybrid car. The Aveo with a manual transmission achieves 27 miles per gallon in the city and 34 miles per gallon on the highway. The Aveo with an automatic transmission gets 25 miles per gallon in the city and 34 miles per gallon on the highway.
The engine within the 2010 Chevy Aveo is identical to the 2009 Chevy Aveo, which also has the 1.6 liter four cylinder engine.
While the car's main selling point is its affordable price, which ranges from $12,000 to $15,000, the 2010 Chevy Aveo does rate well in other aspects. Like other cars in its class, the Aveo is considered fairly safe, although additional airbags were not added despite it being a consistent recommendation.
