Chevrolet Aveo 1.4 at. From 537 040 rub.For many consumers of the B-class dreams of Toyota Yaris or Honda Jazz drowned in the abyss of the financial crisis. Are there any cheaper compact hatchbacks with automatic transmission on the market?
With the crisis, the budget models of the B-class, which were previously considered as a transitional option for those who are transplanted from the creations of the domestic auto industry to new foreign cars, acquired a new client layer of those who dreamed of the top models of the segment.
Chevrolet Aveo is one of the most massive representatives of the club 550. Last year’s facelift and the interior design can be brought into a plus unified with more expensive models. Among the minuses are congenital creaking of plastic in the cabin and not the best visibility. The suspension is comfortable and, most importantly, very unpretentious to our roads. The fuel consumption instead of the declared 6.4 liters per 100 km in everyday operation in the country-city cycle turned out to be 1.6 liters higher. At the same time, it is worth making a discount on Moscow routes unloaded in the summer. In the autumn-spring, Aveo gluttony will increase by 0.51 liters. The frequency is 15? 000 km. Thus, the costs of maintaining the new Chevrolet Aveo in the first year of operation during a run of 20? 000 km, taking into account the first (6500 rubles), amount to 44? 000 rubles. The seven -year operational cycle during a mileage of 140 thousand km and the absence of global problems (engine replacement or KP) will cost about 346? 800 rubles.
