The 2005 Chevrolet Kalos, a compact hatchback that graced the roads from 2002 to 2008, marked Chevrolet's foray into the European market. Designed and manufactured by Daewoo, this stylish and practical vehicle was marketed under the Chevrolet banner as part of General Motors' global strategy. The Kalos showcased a distinctive design with sharp lines and a modern aesthetic, featuring a spacious interior for its compact size. It offered a choice of petrol or diesel engines, with the 1.2L and 1.4L petrol units proving popular for their fuel efficiency and responsiveness. While its performance wasn't particularly sporty, it prioritised comfort and practicality, offering a smooth ride and a well-equipped cabin.

Despite its European roots, the Kalos was surprisingly affordable, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious buyers. It boasted a comprehensive safety package, including ABS and multiple airbags, further enhancing its appeal. However, the Kalos struggled against well-established competitors in the European market, failing to achieve the same level of success as some of its Chevrolet counterparts. Production ceased in 2008, making way for its successor, the Chevrolet Aveo. While the Kalos may not have left a lasting legacy, it served as a stepping stone for Chevrolet's European market expansion, showcasing the brand's commitment to offering affordable and practical vehicles to a broader audience.
