Torque Specifications for a 2006 Chevy Aveo

Chevy introduced the subcompact Aveo in 2004. It was inspired by the Daewoo Kalos and designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro's Italdesign studios in Turin, Italy. The 2004 Aveo seated five and was available as either a four-door sedan or a five-door hatchback. The car was redesigned in 2007 but kept the same basic body structure. The five-door hatchback has been called the Aveo5 since the redesign. Chevy made minor revisions, such as the addition of driver and passenger airbags and a retuning of the suspension, to the 2006 Aveo, but the engine and torque specs stayed basically the same.
