At Chevrolet we believe that the benefits of diesel engines only actually apply to larger vehicles and not to small city cars, which is why our Matiz and Aveo models are always powered by petrol engines. Although diesel can sometimes offer lower fuel consumption figures, in reality the higher price of diesel fuel combined with the higher purchase price of diesel vehicles means that if you want value for money from your small car then petrol is the only answer. But don't just take our word for it, select any small Chevrolet and then choose any diesel car from another manufacturer and see how far you would need to drive the diesel car before it would actually start to save you money.
