The Daewoo Kalos (/əˈveɪ.oʊ/ ə-VAY-oh) is a subcompact automobile initially launched in 2002. The Kalos was developed by the initially-independent South Korean manufacturer Daewoo, later GM Korea. Originally marketed as the Daewoo Kalos across most of the world, it was later marketed as the Chevrolet Aveo (as well as by numerous other names). The car thus became the first generation of the Chevrolet Aveo nameplate from the Chevrolet division of the American manufacturer General Motors. The model received the T200 internal codes during the car's development. The T250 code was designated for the model's major facelift.

Designed, engineered and originally marketed by GM Daewoo, the Kalos/Aveo superseded the Daewoo Lanos and was marketed worldwide in 120 countries under seven brands (Chevrolet, Daewoo, Holden, Pontiac, Ravon, Suzuki and ZAZ).

Production ended in 2023.
