What you see here are official design patent drawings of the all-new 2012 Chevrolet Aveo four-door sedan and five-door hatchback models, filed by General Motors. The next generation of GM's Ford Fiesta rival was teased in concept form with the sporty Aveo RS hatchback study at 2010 Detroit Auto Show in January while shortly after we also got a sneak peak of the sedan variant through some leaked illustrations.
The drawings of the five-door model suggest that the production version follows pretty closely to the RS concept minus of course some snazzy details like the shaved door handles, big alloy wheels and the more pronounced side sills that made the concept model really stand out.
However, the hatchback does keep the concept study's hidden rear door handles that are concealed in the C-pillars. The sedan, on the other hand, gets a more conventional design.
We're likely to see the production versions of both the sedan and hatchback Aveo making their official debut by the end of this year's auto show season, possibly even at the Paris show in September, with sales following in 2011.

Too aggressive? How did we go from the Cruze to this? I like the tail lamps, sampling from the design of the Spark (which SHOULD be offered in the States), but everything else doesn't really fall into place well.
Is Chevy ever going to get to a point where its lineup follows one specific design language? At this point, I'd say never.
nice try. still fugly.
And I thought the 2011 KIA forte is a bad copy of the VW Golf.

The Golfs for America are made in Mexico, hmmm, well then... buying a VW Golf will support Arizona by creating well paid Jobs south of the border.
I don't get it, is this intended for the North American market?
What about the Chevrolet Spark and Trax? Is GM once again crowding too many similar cars in the same segment?
Um, it looks like the current Aveo. Much. What a letdown. And the sedan looks like a bastard-child of the Saturn Ion.
Chevrolet Trax - concept, not being produced.
Chevrolet Spark - "city car", slots below aveo
Chevrolet Aveo - subcompact
Ugly as hell! i am looking forward to gm´s opel unit and their future vehicles like the corsa.
Looks like the "unmasked" pre-production 2012 Aveo spotted testing in Michigan.

the aveo will look very close to the concept and leaked pictures when produced and all chevys are getting the split grill open face treatment and the tail lights are like the cruze's turned up on its side and remember patent drawings never look that stellar
