Chevy Aveo UV-A has bagged BS Motoring car of the year awards. Other contenders for the trophy were Honda Civic, Lancer Cedia, Maruti Zen Estilo, Hyundai Verna and Aveo sedan. Chevy Aveo UV-A was launched only in the later of half of December and barely managed to get into the list of contenders. It is surprising that UV-A beat Civic to grab the award, but car awards in India usually tend to lean towards the smaller cars which are more practical for India.

The jury agreed that Civic is the best of the lot that they tested and was superior to all other cars, but it looses out in practicality and economy. The UV-A received decent scores in all parameters despite not arriving at the top in any category. BS Motoring says -

The secret is that the U-VA did consistently well in all the parameters without emerging too strong in any single one. The performance may not be exceptional, especially when looked at it in sterile 0 to 60 kph or 0 to 100 kph terms, yet its little 1150cc motor surprised the jury with its spunky, cheerful attitude. And the best part is that it's an efficient engine that's miserly with the unleaded.
