2009 Chevrolet Aveo LT2 Trim Overview

The Aveo LT2 is the top-tier trim for this ultra-economy car. With air conditioning and cruise control, an AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio system with satellite radio, power everything, remote entry, and heated rearview mirrors, it’s about as close to a luxury subcompact as you can get this side of the pond.

A DOHC 1.6-liter ECOTEC four-cylinder engine with Variable Valve Timing and Dual Continuous Variable Cam Phasing powers this little sprinter, adding 3 hp in 2009. The EPA estimates 27/34 mpg when paired with the standard five-speed manual or 25/34 with the four-speed automatic.

Front occupants enjoy dual cloth bucket seats, while a split-folding rear awaits those that can manage to squeeze themselves into the back. The driver’s seat has height and lumbar adjustment and sits beside a center console. A tilt steering wheel provides further options for adjustment, and a tachometer and tire pressure monitor keep the driver informed. The LT2 rolls on 14-inch wheels with covers and comes with variable-intermittent wipers and daytime running lights, as well as dual front and front side airbags.
