The
first generation of Chevrolet Aveo began with launching
Model T200, a
subcompact automobile which has manufactured and marketed since 2002 by
GM Daewoo, the South Korean subsidiary of
General Motors. The model was marketed prominently under the nameplate Aveo. The model received the T200 internal codes, used first by
Daewoo, and then, by
GM Daewoo during the car's development. The
T250 code was designated for the facelifted models.
