Recent patent filings made by GM in the US this week has revealed the upcoming Chevrolet Aveo.  This vehicle is closely tied in with the Holden Barina we see here in Australia.

Images have been released by car news site, Carscoop.

No details on specifications other than what we can see in images.  The new angry look and sporty wheels are definately set to appeal to young buyers looking for a small car.

A turbo-charged engine developed by GM with a 1.4 litre 4 cyclinder capacity has been rumoured to be available in the higher-spec sports version of the new Aveo and could very well make it's way into the Barina and possibly even the Cruze.  This engine produces 103kW and 200Nm of torque.
