THE NEW CHEVROLET LACETTI SPORT STATION WAGON – A ‘STYLE WAGON’ THAT’S PRACTICAL TOO
22 May 2005 - Chevrolet

The Chevrolet Lacetti Sport has already received a great deal of positive comment for style and great value. It’s now joined by a bigger brother, the Lacetti Sport Station Wagon

The new Chevrolet Lacetti Sport Station Wagon adds to the practicality, versatility and style of the standard Station Wagon with further style cues that enhance the design without compromising its already good looks. With a 1.8 litre 122 Ps engine unique to the Sport in the Station Wagon range, sports-style, two-tone leather trim, lowered suspension, body kit, sports exhaust, leather steering wheel and gear knob, all fitted as standard, Lacetti Sport Station Wagon offers a high level of style, comfort and safety (with front and side airbags and anti-lock brakes as standard) and above all, is exceptional value for money.

Additional items unique to this Sport variant are a sports-style grille with mesh intake, sporty pedals, door sill finishers, a tailgate spoiler and even unique floor mats featuring a ‘Sport’ logo. The car is aimed at younger single people and families whose lifestyle demands a practical and appealing car with lots of interior space but one that stands out from the crowd. The Lacetti Sport Station Wagon is available for £12,995 on the road complete with Chevrolet’s complete care package of three years’ free servicing, three-year warranty and three years’ AA Total roadside cover.

Lively performance with economy

Lacetti Sport Station Wagon does not pretend to be an overt GTi but neither is it slow. Powered by a 1.8 litre 16 valve engine developing 122 Ps at 5,800 rpm and maximum torque of 165 Nm at 4,000 rpm, it has a top speed of 120 mph, a 0-62 time of 9.5 seconds and returns 37.6 mpg on the combined (MVEG) cycle.

The Lacetti Sport Station Wagon completes a Lacetti line-up that offers a wide choice in the sector. It’s an uncomplicated range and is fully equipped as standard, leaving little to be desired. There are three main body styles with Lacetti, a five-door hatch, a four-door notch and the Station Wagon. This new model also completes the line-up of Chevrolet Sport models – Kalos Sport, Lacetti Sport five-door, now this new Station Wagon.

Lacetti Sport Station Wagon – totally equipped

As the new flagship Lacetti model, Lacetti Sport Station Wagon has few options since it is totally equipped with a wide range of stylish and practical features including air conditioning, front and side airbags, power steering, ABS, unique-style 16'' alloy wheels with hi-power silver finish, height-adjustable driver''s seat, rake and reach adjustment for the steering column, keyless entry central door locking and there are powered and heated door mirrors and electric windows all-round.

In addition to the two-tone leather interior, the steering wheel and gear knob are also leather-covered. Exterior door handles and bodyside mouldings are colour-keyed. Lacetti Sport features a Blaupunkt single CD player as standard (a DAB digital radio, single CD player is an option) and six speakers for exceptional sound quality, along with steering wheel audio controls.

Not only is the new Sport Station Wagon fully equipped, it will undoubtedly appeal in this sector with the above-average amount of space it offers inside. The generous headroom for the driver and front-seat passenger (1,000 mm) and the plentiful legroom in the rear (932 mm) are both among the best in this class.

Beneath the large tailgate, this practical station wagon (length/width/height: 4,580/ 1,725/1,460 mm) has a capacity of between 400 and 1,410 litres (VDA standard). Apart from the 60:40 split and folding backrest, useful features include substantial alloy roof rails as standard, an additional 12V power socket in the luggage compartment and as many as 25 individual storage spaces inside.

Chevrolet’s complete care package – cost effective ownership

Like the rest of the Chevrolet range, the Lacetti Sport Station Wagon benefits from Chevrolet’s complete care package, with three years’ free servicing, comprehensive warranty and AA Total recovery service. The Chevrolet range is available throughout the UK from nearly 90 retailers. Full details can be found at www.chevrolet.co.uk.
