Interesting to spot a car of which the brand is not available anymore in the Nethelands and most of Europe. This Chevrolet Aveo Sedan was built somewhere from 2011 till 2020. It is a second generation of the Aveo series. The third generation never made it to the European markets and that is very unfortunate.

Chevrolet Aveo
The Chevrolet Aveo marketed by General Motors (GM) since 2002. Originally developed by South Korean manufacturer Daewoo Motors and marketed as the Daewoo Kalos, the takeover of Daewoo by GM to form GM Daewoo Auto & Technology (GMDAT) resulted the car being marketed under seven brands (Chevrolet, Daewoo, ZAZ, Holden, Pontiac, Ravon and Suzuki) in 120 countries, with the Aveo nameplate being the most commonly used one. The second-generation Aveo, developed by GM Korea (formerly GMDAT), was introduced in 2011 and was also marketed as the Chevrolet Sonic in several markets such as in the Americas, Japan, Middle East, South Africa and several Southeast Asian markets. Production of the second-generation model ended in October 2020.

The second generation Aveo debuted at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. Development of the second-generation Aveo was led by GM Korea, with Opel engineers leading platform development along with significant input from engineers from Australia's Holden and Chevrolet of the United States.
