Chevrolet Lacetti

What is the Chevrolet Lacetti?

The Lacetti is a compact family car from GM’s Korean operations. The J200 range included hatchback, sedan and estate body styles, with different shapes to suit everyday passenger and luggage needs. As GM brought Daewoo models into Chevrolet’s European line-up, the Lacetti became one of the names used for this family of cars.

Lacetti generation

The first generation (2003–2013), known by the J200 code, was sold in Europe and the UK. Its hatchback, sedan and estate shared a compact-car role but offered different ways to balance passenger room and luggage space. The model’s Daewoo roots reflect GM’s expansion of its Korean-built cars into Chevrolet’s international range.
