Chevrolet Chevette Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1975–1987) — First Generation
The first-generation Chevrolet Chevette comes in three-door and five-door hatchback forms. If you regularly carry passengers, the five-door body makes rear-seat access easier.
Selected three-door Chevrolet Chevette powertrains include the gasoline 1.3 MT with a manual transmission and the gasoline 1.3 AT with an automatic. The diesel 1.8 AT also uses an automatic, and all three examples have rear-wheel drive. An automatic saves you clutch work in traffic, while a manual gives you direct control over gear selection.
