Chevrolet Aveo 2011 possibly based on Chinese Sail

An all-new 2010 Chevrolet Sail model has debuted exclusively for the Chinese market, to sold alongside the recently-facelifted Chevy Lova. The Lova happens to be a version of the Aveo that we get here, and by all indications, the Sail may very well become the next Aveo.

The Sail seemingly has a larger cabin than the Lova, thanks to a cab-forward design and possibly a taller roofline.

The Sail is being offered with a 78 hp 1.2-litre and a 96 hp 1.4-litre, both with a 5-speed manual, or optional 4-speed automatic.

So far, the Aveo remains unchanged for 2010, as changes have not been applied to markets outside the ever-changing Chinese market, where cars are churned out faster than fake iPods.
