How we use engine sizes.
Chevrolet Aveo fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Chevrolet Aveo from 2008 to 2015. On the NEDC test (listings 2008 to 2015), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 41.5 to 78.4 mpg, with CO2 of 95 to 159 g/km.
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2008 to 2015
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2008 to 2015
Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in
real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in
VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was
listed.
Matched from VCA’s model names “Aveo”, “Aveo, MY2013”, “Aveo, MY2014”, “Aveo MY2011”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Chevrolet Aveo safety recalls
DVSA lists 4 safety recalls for the Chevrolet Aveo since 1992, the first in 2012. The most recent was launched on 4 February 2025.
Chevrolet Takata Driver’s Airbag
Launched 4 February 2025DVSA recall R/2025/036Manufacturer ref. KCS-N222358800
Defect
On affected vehicles the chemicals in the Takata airbags may deteriorate over time which may cause the inflator to rupture and lead to serious injury.
Remedy
Exchange affected airbag modules as a precautionary measure.
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Chevrolet Aveo. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or
incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a
dealer. How we match recalls to models.
Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
MOT figures cover normal tests of cars aged three and over in 2025; retests are excluded. Age is rounded to the nearest year.
DVSA records the model name typed in at the test. We match those names to DVLA’s generic models, so a handful of tests may be counted under a close relative.
