Although I could be wrong.
Nope, they're not related. I just mean "brother" loosely (through the Swift+). And like Sulu said, it's a Daewoo Lanos/Matiz

The Chevrolet Aveo (and its twin, the Suzuki Swift+) is a re-badged version of a Korean, Daewoo-built car, and the Aerio and the SX4 are Japanese, Suzuki-built vehicles. From the information that I have seen, Korean car engines still cannot match Japanese car engines for fuel efficiency.

Yeah... but the marketers don't tell you that. They just say "well it's a small car with a small engine so it's good on gas" and unless you actually look, the average person will be fooled into thinking that.
