Chevrolet Aveo RS: Up Close
The Aveo RS manages to walk the fine line of having very aggressive styling without looking silly. The front grille is big, but the horizontal bar that holds Chevy’s bowtie logo helps break up the mass of mesh.
The front bucket seats have large side bolsters, but the seats themselves aren’t very wide. Instead of gripping your sides, you’re partly sitting on the bolsters. Look for more traditional buckets to make it to the production version of the Aveo.
The show car’s front seats don’t have a lot of rear travel, though that might change in the production model. I moved it back as far as it would go and could have still done with a little more space to work the pedals.
The RS’ backseat isn’t any roomier than the one in Chevrolet’s Spark hatchback on display at the show. Without appreciably more passenger room than the Spark, the Aveo will really need to deliver on the driving experience to distinguish itself from its sibling.
