Photos of the redesigned Chevrolet Aveo for the Chinese market drifted on the internet last night, possibly, but not surely, prior to a world premiere at the Beijing Auto Show (April 20-29).

If you’ve captured a glimpse of the next generation 2016 Cruze in China-specification – if you haven’t click here, then you will no doubt notice the family resemblance in the restyling of the 2015 Aveo’s front end, and to a lesser extent, the reworked rear end.

In China, the Aveo sedan is powered by a 97hp 1.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine.

At this stage, we don’t know if and when GM will apply the cosmetic update to the Aveo sold in other parts of the world.
