Daewoo Lacetti - powerful, strong, stylish

Daewoo Lacetti was the model that was first developed by the Korean firm. The debut of the model took place in November 2002 at the Auto Show in Seoul. The name of the car "Lacertus" in Latin means energy, power, strength, youth. Korean manufacturers slightly corrected the word, and it turned out Daewoo Lacetti.

Daewoo Lacetti has a very modern appearance, in addition, its special design makes the car recognizable in the flow of machines. Due to the characteristic radiator grille, Daewoo cars have long had their own lineage. In addition to her go transparent headlights of large sizes, sharply truncated faces and wheel arches, which outlined this time very clearly. The progenitor of Dawn Lacetti became Nubira, which had a slightly different frontal design, hood and bumpers. In the European market, buyers can find Daewoo Lacetti in the body of the hatchback, which, accordingly, completely changes the rear. For the exterior of this car was answered by the studio Giugaro.

Hatchback Lacetti as the basis took the front-wheel platform from the car of the predecessor, in addition, also borrowed the engine, the box and some other nodes. However, in addition to Nubir gasoline engines 1.6 and 1.8 liters, Lacetti received a power unit with 1.4 liters, the power of which reaches 92 "horses".

For the interior of the salon were chosen light colors, which allow the car to appear somewhat larger than it is inside. In the decoration it was decided to abandon the fanciful and newfangled, however, in general the appearance is very decent. Even the basic version assumes the presence of a plastic finish of two color options. In the lower part, gray is used, and in the upper part - warm-beige. Landing for the driver chosen the best. The seats are comfortable, all the controls are at hand. Plastic finish, which is not only pleasing to the eye, but also to the touch, harmonizes with the soft velor seats. With reading scales there are no problems, the steering wheel does not overlap them, in addition, you can adjust its slope. The devices are located quite simply, but it is very easy for the eye. The visor allows you to get rid of glare in daylight. In the central frontal part you can see the console, on which the radio tape recorder can be located, the unit that controls the air conditioner. It is worth noting that in the new Daewoo Lacetti, ergonomics have been taken care of.

The new model Lacetti will compete for the European buyer with the help of the highest level of equipment. In addition to "mechanics" for engines with a volume of 1.6 and 1.8 liters, buyers will be offered an adaptive five-stage automatic machine that is electronically controlled. As standard, there are 5 three-point safety belts, front and side airbags, ABS, all-wheel-type brakes.

Lacetti can be called a serious step for Daewoo. The firm is clearly trying to improve their cars. Lacetti's brother, Daewoo Lacetti Premiere, further emphasizes modern notes in the design of the line, a decent level of assembly and a solid set of options. In addition, a significant number of engines to choose makes the car a serious competitor to other manufacturers.
