What is the Chevrolet Tacuma?

The Tacuma is a compact MPV: a tall family car with an upright cabin and room for passengers. It began as a Daewoo model, also known in some markets as the Rezzo, and later appeared with Chevrolet branding in Europe.

Its rounded, one-box shape gives the Tacuma a people-carrying character. The cabin and body are arranged for everyday passenger use, rather than the low seating and profile of a conventional family car.

Generation and engines

The first generation, identified by the U100 code, covers 2006–2009 in the UK figures. Its petrol engines ranged from 1.6 L to 2.0 L. The European Union registration entry is for a 1.6 L petrol version in 2010.

How economical is the Chevrolet Tacuma?

UK VCA figures give a lowest listed consumption of 8 L/100 km on the NEDC test for 2006–2009 versions. The EU registration figure for a 1.6 L petrol Tacuma is 76 in 2010. NEDC is the European test procedure; it differs from the EPA procedure used in the United States and Canada’s 5-cycle test.

Where was it sold?

The Tacuma appears in UK VCA figures for 2006–2009 and in European Union registration figures for 2010. It brought the compact MPV format to Chevrolet’s European range after beginning as a Daewoo model.
