The 2012 Chevrolet Aveo, a compact car designed for affordability and practicality, marked a significant shift in the Aveo lineage. This generation, introduced in 2012, was a departure from its predecessor, sporting a more modern and sophisticated design language. The Aveo's styling was more mature and contemporary, featuring a bolder front grille, swept-back headlights, and a more aerodynamic profile. The interior also received a refresh, with an emphasis on user-friendliness and increased cabin space. While not known for plushness, the Aveo provided a comfortable and functional driving experience for its target audience.

Under the hood, the 2012 Aveo offered a choice of two engines: a 1.6-liter four-cylinder producing 106 horsepower and 108 lb-ft of torque, or a 1.2-liter four-cylinder engine with 84 horsepower and 89 lb-ft of torque. Both engines were paired with a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic transmission, delivering adequate performance for city driving and short commutes. The Aveo's fuel efficiency was a strong selling point, with the 1.6-liter engine achieving an EPA-estimated 28 mpg city and 34 mpg highway. While the Aveo wasn't a performance car, it provided a reliable and economical mode of transportation for individuals and small families.
