	Cars - Daewoo Lacetti

The Daewoo Lacetti is a compact car available as a four-door sedan, a five-door hatchback or a 4-door station wagon. The Lacetti is made by the South Korean firm GM Daewoo.

The sedan and wagon are designed by Pininfarina, and the hatchback by Giorgetto Giugiaro, and launched in 2002. The hatchback, known as Lacetti-5 in Korea, came later; it was introduced in summer 2003 and it went on sale later that year as a 2004 model.

Depending on the country, the Lacetti may be divided into two separate lines. In many export markets, the Lacetti name first appeared solely on the five-door hatchback. Visually identical models are also sold under the names Chevrolet Optra5 in Canada, India, Arabia and South Africa; Suzuki Reno in the United States; Buick Excelle HRV in China; and as the Holden Viva in Australia.

In Europe, the car was initially sold as Daewoo Lacetti, but by the end of the 2004 it was rebadged as a Chevrolet. As with its home market, in some European markets, the Lacetti name is also used for the entire range of sedan, station wagon and hatchback models on the same J-series platform.

The European models are available with the following three gasoline-powered 4-cylinder engines:

1.4 L E-TEC II — 94 hp (69 kW) at 6300 rpm
1.6 L E-TEC II — 109 hp (80 kW) at 5800 rpm
1.8 L E-TEC II — 122 hp (90 kW) at 5800 rpm (produced by Holden)

Since early 2004, various rebadged versions of the Lacetti are also available in the North American market. The cars feature only one engine, a gasoline-powered 2.0 L 4-cylinder E-TEC II made by Holden, developing a maximum power of a 126 hp or 94 kW (US version) or 119 hp or 89 kW (Canadian version) at 5600 rpm.
