Chevy Aveo up for grabs in tennis championship

Chevrolet Aveo 1.5-litre automatic sedan from Intermotors, the sole distributors of Chevrolet cars in Nigeria and a division of CFAO Motors Nigeria Limited, has been endorsed as winners’ car during the 2013 finals of the 45th Asoju Oba Table Tennis Championship in Lagos State.

Molade Okoya-Thomas, sole sponsor of the event back to back for 45 years said he is offering the Chevrolet car for the event not only as a great incentive for young and future table tennis champions in the country, but also a personal endorsement of Chevrolet cars for all Nigerians.

The cars were presented to the men’s singles and ladies’ singles champions by Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State as the special guest of honour at the event held recently at the Molade Okoya-Thomas Sports Hall, Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere Lagos.

The Aveo automatic transmission is targeted at young and upward mobile owners, says Francesca Fabunmi, head intermotors. She said that Aveo was built to attend to their mobility needs for enterprise, work and the pleasurable riding for leisure of a young family.

“Many young people and new families prefer Aveo because it is a budget car with great safety features. Its fuel efficient with comfortable and roomy interior. It’s the car for Champions,” she stated.

The 2013 Chevrolet Aveo is fully air-conditioned with an Ecotec 1.6 Litre engine and a Variable Valve Timing, 108hp at 6400 rpm and 105 lb.-ft. of torque at 4000 rev per minute. Its transmission option is a four-speed automatic in hold control mode with shift indicator light, driver Information dashboard (outside temperature display and fuel economy/driving range function) and steering wheel mounted. It comes with remote keyless entry, safety air bags and four-wheel antilock brakes with engine immobiliser.
