Aveo CNG unveiled

GM was hit bad during the slump and most of you know what happened afterwards. But the brand shined in the developing markets like India, China etc. And now these ‘key’ markets require more attention and obviously GM is taking all the right steps.

They launched the LPG version of their Chevrolet  Aveo sedan on 13th of this month. This important step was taken keeping the market trend and the competetion in mind. CNG  is a cleaner fuel and is more economical than petrol. The same old 4-pot 1399 powerplant produces 94ps when run on petrol but a small drop in performance is expected. Mind it, as this is a factory CNG kit, the drop will be negligible. The CNG unit is computer controlled which means low wastage. The engine gets anodized pistons while the body and suspension are reinforced to welcome the introduction of CNG.

The car is priced at Rs. 6, 26, 645 (ex-showroom Ahmedabad), which is quite reasonable for a car that is greener and lighter on the pocket too.
