It is false to recall at least one other car that has come such a long way on Russian market and so little tarnished his reputation. It's no joke, in Russia "lacetos" began to be sold in 2004, a couple of years after the world premiere.
Imagine, before the appearance of the VAZ Grants, which by now has also managed to live a whole life and there were about seven years left ...
The model is still alive today - in 2013, Uzbekistan organized the export of sedans to Russia, first under Daewoo brand, and after 2015 as Ravon Gentra- albeit with a hatch face, a Korean-designed 1.5-liter engine and an optional 6-speed automatic as an alternative to the 5-speed manual. The “original” Lacetti had a 4-speed automatic transmission, but as many as three engines were offered - 1.4 (95 hp), 1.6 (109 hp) and 1.8 (122 hp) . Despite these differences, in fact the car remained the same, so we say "Lacetti" - we mean Ravon. But also on characteristic features Ravona at the end of our story will definitely stop.
Hate #5: Poor soundproofing
Owners of many cheap cars complain about sound insulation, but in the case of the Lacetti, speaking objectively, it really needs to be improved - the engine is clearly audible in the cabin starting from 3,000 rpm, and the hum through wheel arches shows up earlier. In front, it is muffled by the noise of the engine and is not fixed by everyone, but rear passengers celebrate it quite often.

Love #5: Timeless design
As you know, the design of the front of the car for sedans and hatchbacks (by the way, there were station wagons in our market) is different, and the “eternity” of the design refers to a slightly larger two-volume: it’s just a hatch with calm and harmonious body lines, without any or fancy elements. Say it's boring? But those who buy this car still say that it is beautiful! And in this price niche, such praise is worth a lot.

Hate #4: Weak Acceleration
Scolding or praising the car, the dynamics are usually linked to fuel consumption - they say, it doesn’t drive, but it eats (it happens and vice versa) - and some Lacetti owners often describe the performance of their cars in approximately such terms. However, it cannot be reproached for some outstanding voracity: “according to the passport” in the urban cycle, it turns out 9.3 (engine 1.4), 9.1 (1.6) and 9.8 (1.8) liters per 100 km (yes, the 1.6-liter engine is the most economical) for versions with mechanics. For versions of 1.6 liters with automatic transmission, the real city consumption is 12-14 l / 100 km, but these are normal figures for old 4-band automatics, it’s a sin to complain. But the dynamics in the region of 11.6-10.7 seconds to “hundreds” is something that the owner of Lacetti will always miss a little, no matter how much you make discounts for “budget”. Only versions 1.8 more or less drive (9.5 seconds), but there are not so many such cars in Russia. And two-liter cars were not officially delivered to us at all.

Independent rear suspension and rear disc brakes- none of the current cars of this price segment cannot boast of such (except on station wagons LADA Vesta brake drums will be replaced with disks), and this is not accidental: the operational advantages of such solutions, to put it mildly, are not obvious. But the status of the car, which, as it were, aims at the expense of these "chips" in a higher class, in the eyes Russian motorist definitely adds.
Hatred # 3: a small resource of chassis elements
Meanwhile, properties chevrolet suspension Lacetti is the subject of heated debate. rear link suspension makes the car more fun to drive? But a semi-dependent beam would be much more reliable, easier and cheaper to maintain. The rigid and elastic front suspension does not break through and allows you to more accurately maneuver? But at speed, it still allows for fair rolls, and not everyone likes the rigidity itself. Be that as it may, “killing” some components of the chassis on the Lacetti is quite simple, especially for drivers who are not too careful. Most often, shock absorber struts and stabilizer struts fall under premature replacement. However, both "diseases" are inherent in a huge number of other cars that are lucky to drive on Russian asphalt.

A lot of owners of this car are transplanted to it from domestic products, and first of all with LADA Priora, Granta and Kalina. Compared to these cars, the Lacetti has a really spacious interior, and this is especially felt by the passengers in the back row. The case when a couple of extra centimeters can give completely new sensations.

Hate #2: small ground clearance
Pictured: Chevrolet Lacetti Hatchback CDX "2004–13 Cars with a clearance of around 140 mm in Russia feel uncomfortable - remember how many complaints there were about the previous Ford Focus, as a result of which the ground clearance on later cars was nevertheless increased. The Lacetti still has a clearance of 145 mm, which, combined with a rather impressive front overhang, creates a problem for the owners and makes them scribble angry reviews on the Internet. Whatever you say, but on Duster or Niva on Russian roads you feel much more comfortable. By the way, at Ravon sedan Gentra, the current incarnation of the Lacetti, the clearance remained at the same value.
In the photo: Ravon Gentra "2015–present Love #2: cheap consumables
Another comparison of our today's well-deserved "old man" with Lada cannot be avoided, and if, according to the previous paragraph domestic brand wins Chevrolet by one gate, then the Lacetti takes revenge on the cost of spare parts. In the sense that most of the components cost exactly the same money (plus or minus hundreds of rubles) as in Lada. Thus, the Lacetti is the perfect dream of a huge number of domestic motorists: a real foreign car, and in the service staff - like a VAZ.
Hate #1: Oil leaking from under the valve cover
Literally every Lacetti owner who has looked under the hood of his car at least once has seen this: oil smudges from under the valve covers. Even a GM branded gasket can sometimes leak, and a solid one, letting oil “tracks” up to candle wells. The disease is chronic and manifests itself at different times: sometimes the cover “sweats” for 20,000 kilometers, and sometimes for 2,000 ... But sometimes leaks become noticeable only in the region of 120,000 km and at the same time are the only cause for concern for the Lacetti owner.
Love #1: high reliability
And those owners who know how not to jump on the potholes spend their life together with the Lacetti in almost complete calm. The car pleases with a warm stove, a comfortable seat, good handling (whatever you say), and most importantly, a high resource of engines (which are based on Opel licenses) and reliability of chassis components (again, whatever you say). The design is verified to the smallest detail, which made it so tenacious.
Pictured: Chevrolet Lacetti Hatchback CDX "2004–13 ***
In addition to the complaints listed above (in fact, it’s impossible to call them reasons for hatred, it’s just the format), the owners sometimes complain about the “soft” body metal, gluttony of "automatic" versions, long strokes of the mechanics lever, fogging of windows, uncomfortable climate block, “too modest” interior… Have you already read this somewhere, right? That's right, in the reviews Lada cars. For a rare "state employee", the list of complaints boils down to the fact that the car is simply too budgetary, isn't it?
Very often you have to read something like "it's a pity that they are no longer made", and the alternative in as Ravon Gentra is not suitable for everyone: for some, the hatchback seems to be more practical and harmonious in appearance, but it’s just not in the Ravona range, only a sedan. Its pros and cons remained the same as those of the Lacetti, only now the paintwork of the bumpers of some cars begins to peel off almost at the first thousand kilometers.
But this happened with the "real" Lacetti, but otherwise ... It's good that there is Ravon Gentra - someone will find this version of the "state employee" optimal. And he will be right in many respects.
In 2003, South Korea introduced the Lacetti to the world, although this car was shown in Europe a little later. Today we have the opportunity to conduct the Lacetti and draw the appropriate conclusions. In Russia, the brand of this car is produced at the Kaliningrad plant.
Historical background of the car

In principle, the production of the Lacetti was based on two. From Daewoo Nubira took station wagon, five-door hatchback and sedan - from Daewoo Lacetti. The "parent" of a car of this class is the Italian Giorgetto Giugiaro, who worked on the design of the car.
Vehicle appearance
outside view
The almond-shaped headlights look very discreet and calm, although you cannot ignore the aggressively prominent rear optics, littered forward rear body racks attract the eye, and multi-spoke give this car outrageous. In more expensive models Includes spoiler and fog lights.
View inside
The interior of this car is practically not endowed with anything special, although modern and harmonious style is felt everywhere:
- The steering column is adjustable in height, which is very convenient.
- The automatic lever is decorated with a wood-like base.

- Automatic windows.
- All panels are arranged exactly to the maximum, the finish is made of quality materials, the spaciousness of the cabin is added by light colors of the upholstery. The rear passenger seats are very well designed, thanks to the supply of space forward and above your head, tall passengers will feel comfortable. This fact has special meaning when moving for a long distance. good review car due to the fact that the rear headrests leave the rear window open.

What is hiding under the beautiful appearance of the car?
This car is a good representative its C-class. It looks modern, solid, beautiful, the technical data of this car undoubtedly make it a leader in terms of quality and price. One way or another, there will be those who will try to send this car to last places in the line of the best-selling cars. Well, let's do the Lacetti to dot the i's.
On the video - a review of the Chevrolet Lacetti:
Let's take a model car as an example. automatic transmission gears and engine size 1.6 l. Undoubtedly, all classes of this type are different from each other. If you look for shortcomings and advantages, then everyone will find something personal for themselves.
Advantages of the Chevrolet Lacetti:
- Appearance.
- Spacious car dealership. What makes this model a leader among competitors.
- Large glove compartments, they are located to the left of the steering wheel on the driver's side and in front of the front passenger seat.
- The presence of coasters.
- Doors are equipped with "pockets".
- Decent interior finishes.
- Large mirrors.
- Value for money.
Cons of the Chevrolet Lacetti:
- Noise isolation. ride on summer tires in principle, normal, but the clatter of thorns winter tires annoying on asphalt.
- Short center front armrest.
- Impractical soft plastic on the dashboard (very easy to damage).
- Rigid, .
- Weak paintwork results in many small scratches.
Lacetti rides purely in a family way, since with such a suspension you can’t accelerate much on unpaved country roads, But good move this model has on the track.
A 1.6-liter engine with 109 horsepower can drive smoothly even with an automatic transmission. Among the city traffic, this car goes on a par with other road users. More than 2500 rpm, the engine does not turn, which means that there is a potential for ignition.
It should be noted automatic transmission, it stood out in previous model Chevrolet - Aveo. In this, the two models have a positive similarity. timely smooth switching, the engine does not twist unnecessarily.
Engine Priority
But if you make a choice in favor of the Lacetti models, it is better to buy a car with a 1.8-liter engine with engine acceleration 122 horsepower. More on this choice affects the absorption of fuel, rather than engine power. If we compare this car model after testing, it took about 12 liters of gasoline for the 1.6 engine (the car was running in), and for the 1.8 engine with an automatic transmission -10 liters.
After studying numerous reviews, we conclude - Chevrolet Lacetti worthy choice, representing the golf class, and a serious competitor to its rivals.
Lacetti released with gasoline engines volume of different power:
- 1.4 liters - engine capacity 93 liters. With.;
- 1.6 liters - engine capacity 109 liters. With.;
- 1.8 liters - engine capacity 122 liters. With.
Popularity and cost of cars
Good braking is provided in the amount of four pieces. The unit with a volume of 1.6 makes it possible to use low rpm engine without "gassing".
soft and elastic suspension passes freely over bumps flying towards, and, despite the fact that the suspension is completely soft, the car's course keeps confidently according to the trajectory.
Russian roads are familiar with the representative of this car model. The price of the Chevrolet Lacetti is quite adequate. From $ 13,900 you can purchase the cheapest model - Lacetti sedan with a 1.4 engine.
Russians are not the only ones in the world who love value for money. Summary sedan brand Chevrolet Lacetti fully meet the many needs of ordinary consumers.
Chevrolet Lacetti took its rightful place in the box office bestsellers 2007-2009. Today, the model of this car is also popular, but, unfortunately, it has been discontinued. Still found in car dealerships unsold cars this model, although the elegant and roomy Chevrolet Cruze strives for the leading positions.
Conclusion
The presented type of car delivers comfort to its owners, first of all, with its spaciousness and simplicity. Today, this model is not yet forgotten, but already the past. More successful novelties are always being replaced, which, of course, cost more than previous models.
On the video - test drive Chevrolet Lacetti:
Before buying any car, its future owner wants to know in advance what pleasant and not very surprises await him after buying the desired product. The most important thing is to make a choice in favor of a used car. high class or new budget car. Anyway, the most best conclusions about the Chevrolet Lacetti can be done by independently riding on such a popular vehicle.
It is very common to hear that this moment most influential brand in automotive world is a Chevrolet. It is difficult to disagree with this, given the fact that in almost every automotive class there is a representative of an American company.
Chevrolet cars have gained great popularity thanks to high quality and excellent dynamic characteristics. According to experts, in the future the influence of the company will only grow, and it will be very difficult for competitors to keep up with the subsidiary concern owned by General Motors.
One of the most prominent representatives in the middle class cars is the Chevrolet Lacetti, which is unofficially referred to as the "people's favorite".

It is worth noting that the Lacetti is very popular among domestic motorists, which is confirmed by the statistics of the sales level of the model in Russia. What is the secret of popularity of the Chevrolet Lacetti? Probably the most important reason for this is the value for money.
The developers decided to provide motorists with a wide range of bodies, however, on domestic market most in demand the station wagon option is used, primarily because of the spacious interior and good looks.
In today's article we will talk about where the Chevrolet Lacetti is produced.
It should be said right away that for domestic motorists the model was assembled on Kaliningrad plant"Avtotor" from 2004 to 2013. Cars equipped with 1.4 liters, 1.6 liters and 1.8-liter engines with a four-speed automatic transmission or a five-speed manual transmission came out of the assembly line of this enterprise. However, today the company no longer makes Lacetti, and this is due to the low demand for the Russian version.
Since 2013, the Lacetti has been assembled in Uzbekistan for the Russian market, but this lasted only for a year, after which the Chevrolet Cobalt began to be produced at the plant.
At the moment, the Chevrolet Lacetti for Russia is assembled at Zaporozhye plant. The model has regained wide popularity due to its low cost.
In addition, Lacetti is produced in Kazakhstan at the Asia-Avto enterprise.
But this is not all. Full list producing countries is as follows:
- Colombia - supplies cars to the local market;
- Taiwan is a small enterprise that has not yet established mass production;
- Vietnam;
- Venezuela;
- India;
- Thailand;
- Korea;
- China is a powerful enterprise that assembles cars for local market and the markets of a number of Asian countries.
The quality of the Russian assembly of the Chevrolet Lacetti
Many domestic experts and motorists are confident that the decline in demand for the Lacetti Russian assembly associated with poor quality car. The model that was assembled at Avtotor consumed a lot of fuel, especially in winter.
Also, car Russian production was absolutely not adapted to domestic road conditions. Low ground clearance is not the best option to overcome the bumpy road. The soundproofing of the Chevrolet Lacetti cabin was not at all impressive, which, in this aspect, was inferior to almost all other assembly options.
But this is not all the shortcomings. In almost every review, motorists call poor quality paintwork, due to which the car body is susceptible to corrosion.
Chevrolet Lacetti can be considered the standard of quality Korean production. The cars here are excellent. driving performance, roomy interior and good paintwork. There are also disadvantages. For example, in the cabin you can clearly hear the noise of friction of the wheels on pavement, as well as the operation of the engine, but this does not spoil the overall positive impression.
The Ukrainian-made Lacetti is only slightly inferior to the Korean counterpart, and even better in terms of sound insulation quality. However, after every 40,000 kilometers, it is necessary to update the suspension, as well as replace the shock absorber struts. Also, Ukrainian power units make clattering sounds that create a slight discomfort, but this is only a small feature of local engines, which does not indicate a malfunction.
As for the Lacetti of the Uzbek and Kazakh assembly, they are slightly inferior to the Ukrainian one, and have a number of common shortcomings. Among them, poorly executed dashboard, the buttons of which often sink down. Motorists put the Kazakh assembly a little higher, due to the fact that in most cases, for the first three years, it functions without serious breakdowns.

Conclusion
Chevrolet Lacetti is one of the most popular passenger cars, which is in great demand in the Russian market. At the moment, for Russia, the car is produced at the Zaporozhye Automobile Plant. Previously, the car was assembled in Kaliningrad.
To date, the Chevrolet Lacceti model has acquired the title of people's favorite. In the Russian market, this car is in great demand, for this you don’t even need to turn to statistics. The car gained its popularity due to its exceptional price / quality ratio. This car is produced in the most different options body, but Russian consumers for some reason love it in the performance of a station wagon. This model has a spacious interior, good design and body wagon type. So, where is the Chevrolet Lacceti assembled in this version for the Russian market? For Russian buyers this car model was produced from 2004 to 2013 at the Avtotor plant in Kaliningrad.
Here they assembled cars with engine sizes of 1.8, 1.6 and 1.4 liters with a 4-speed "automatic" and a 5-speed "mechanics". But, today the company does not produce Chevrolet Lacetti, the assembly stopped due to low demand for the model. In 2013, a new enterprise for the production of Chevrolet Lacetti was opened in Uzbekistan (Asaki). But, in 2014, instead of this car, they began to assemble the Chevrolet Cobalt here. Today, the Chevrolet Lacetti model is delivered to the Russian market from Ukraine from Zaporozhye Automobile Factory. Also, this car is produced in Kazakhstan in the city of Ust-Kamenogorsk at the AZIA AVTO plant. The conveyor line was launched here in 2007. Also, Chevrolet Lacceti is assembled in other countries of the world:
- Colombia (Bogota)
- Taiwan (Miaoli)
- Vietnam (Hanoi)
- Venezuela (Valencia)
- India (Halol)
- Thailand (Rayong)
- China (Shanghai).
Build quality
Some car owners claim that the reason for the low sales of this model was the low quality of the Russian assembly. IN winter time years, the car "ate" fuel big amount. In addition, where the Chevrolet Lacceti was produced in the Russian Federation, the car was not adapted for operation on Russian roads. Due to the small clearance, this car "collected" all the potholes, bumps and pits with the bottom. Car owners also complain about the poor soundproofing of the cabin. But, the shortcomings of the Russian assembly do not end there. In the reviews, buyers reported that the Avtotorovtsy regretted the paint on the Lacetti, and therefore, corrosion appears on different parts of the body.
Most best reviews received a Korean-made Chevrolet Lacetti. Koreans have collected decent car with good driving characteristics spacious interior, excellent paintwork and a smooth body. Although, in the cabin you can hear the noise of tires, motor and stones that beat against the bottom of the car. Ukrainian build quality can be attributed to mediocre. Ukrainian engineers made excellent sound insulation, qualitatively and beautifully adjusted the plastic and no extra noise is heard in the cabin. But compared to cars Korean assembly, on Ukrainian Lacetti, after forty thousand kilometers, you need to change the rear shock absorbers, stabilizer rubber bands, and front struts. And the motor makes clattering sounds, this is not observed in Korean models.
An important role is played by the fact where the Chevrolet Lacetti is produced. The Uzbek assembly is much better than the Russian one, but also a little worse than the Korean one. Cars made in Kazakhstan also do not shine with quality. On the Lacetti of this assembly, the internal ceiling often disappears, also, the power window button fails and uneven gaps are noticed. But, car owners claim that during the three years of operation of the Chevrolet Lacetti of the Kazakh assembly, the car has never broken down.
Among car enthusiasts, the Chevrolet Lacetti is considered a people's favorite. Even without resorting to statistics, you can verify the reputation of this model in the Russian market. It has become a bestseller thanks to its exceptional value for money. At the same time, the station wagon is recognized as the most popular type of model on the Russian market - a rather spacious and capacious car with a wagon-type body and a very good design.
Place of assembly
IN South Korea the four-door Daewoo Lacetti was released in 2002. Five door hatchback under the name Lacetti 5 was introduced only after a minor redesign of the sedan in 2004, receiving a specific design of the front grille, rear and dashboard. A station wagon version, simply called the Lacetti Wagon, was introduced in late 2007. It had the same dashboard as the hatchback. At the same time, GM Daewoo introduced diesel engines VM Motori on the Lacetti line.
The second generation Lacetti was launched in November 2008 as the Lacetti Premiere, badged as the Chevrolet Cruze - albeit jointly developed by GM Daewoo and Chevrolet. It was produced under brand Daewoo until early 2011, when it was discontinued, but continued production under the Chevrolet and Holden brands. After the advent of the second generation, sales sedan and station wagon Lacetti were discontinued, oh putting in the line only a hatchback, renamed Lacetti EX, which was discontinued in October 2009.
In Russia Lacetti produced in 2007–2012 and sold with hatchback, sedan and station wagon in two trim levels. The entire line of models was produced at the Avtotor plant in Kaliningrad with a full production cycle. It should be noted that in the CIS, a full-fledged assembly of Lacetti, including welding and painting, was carried out only at this plant.
Since June 2004, most Lacetti traveling around Ukraine have been assembled by the SKD method at a plant in Ilyichevsk, which is part of the ZAZ structure. Cars throughout this period were constantly leaving the Korean assembly line, slightly disassembled (according to customs requirements), brought to Ilyichevsk, where they were assembled. Since 2010, the disassembly / assembly processes have ceased and the cars began to arrive as all-imported ones.
JV CJSC GM Uzbekistan has been carrying out large-block assembly of Lacetti since 2003. In 2008, the company started serial production this model at the GM-Uz plant in Asaka. In November 2013, GM Uzbekistan began selling the updated Lacetti model under by Chevrolet Gentra, which received new headlights, a stylish grille and front bumper. It is sold in all CIS countries.
In Kazakhstan Lacetti with others Chevrolet models produced in the city of Ust-Kamenogorsk at the facilities of AZIA AVTO JSC. The factory conveyor for serial assembly of this model was launched on June 16, 2007.
Other build locations are also:
- Bogotá, Colombia (GM Colombia);
- Valencia, Venezuela (GM Venezuela);
- Halol, India (GM India);
- Miaoli, Taiwan;
- Rayong, Thailand;
- Hanoi, Vietnam (GM Vietnam);
- Shanghai, China (Shanghai GM)
Build quality
The most popular among car owners are Korean assembly cars, which are recognized as of sufficient quality, as a result of which the body gaps are small and even, the paintwork is quite durable, the interior, although devoid of signs of pretentiousness, is assembled soundly. However, the factory sound insulation, according to car owners, leaves much to be desired, since the noise of tires, a pebble and an engine is heard in the cabin.
The Russian assembly is considered no worse than the Korean one, all the gaps are even, it is rated for a solid, well-deserved four. However, it causes some complaints from car owners, in particular, on the second day after the purchase, the clutch pedal became - I had to change release bearing And brake fluid. In addition, due to the incorrect operation of the tachometer, it was necessary to change the engine control unit. After 7500 km of run, I had to re-paste Windshield. There are untreated childhood diseases associated with the ringing of the gearshift lever, the knock of the stove valve and the illumination of the dashboard lights.
The quality of the Ukrainian assembly is considered mediocre. Nothing rattles in the cabin, the sound insulation is excellent, the plastic is fitted with high quality and beautifully. True, according to some, Ukrainian-assembled cars differ significantly in quality from Korean ones. In particular, during a run of 40 thousand km, it was necessary to change the rear shock absorbers, front struts and stabilizer rubber bands, one ball. A small clatter was heard in the engine, reminiscent of the knock of a hydraulic compensator. As it turned out, almost all cars of the Ukrainian assembly have a similar sound, which was not found in Koreans. Weak point locks are considered that have to be regularly lubricated and thawed in winter, as well as a muffler that has already rotted and burned out on many machines.
Regarding the Uzbek assembly, you can see that it is far from Korean, but not bad, in any case better than the Russian one and does not cause excessive suspicion. The assembly quality of Lacetti on the GMS scale is estimated at 7 points.
Kazakhstan assembly does not shine good quality, as evidenced by cases associated with the falling off of the internal ceiling, the failure of the power window button and uneven gaps. Although there is a positive opinion here too - for 3 years of operation there has not been a single breakdown - especially since the plant has a strict control system implemented by the Volkswagen concern.
