THE new Daewoo Lacetti five-door hatchback, GM Daewoo’s third all-new car since it was formed in October 2002, is now available in UK showrooms.

The Lacetti is a three-model range, offering wide ranging comfort and safety features, high levels of specification and exceptional value for money in a compact, elegant and stylish design.

Growing young families with an eye for style will love the Lacetti for its strong personality and high specification level. They’ll also appreciate its size - the most spacious in its class, and safety features including driver and passenger airbags.

The Lacetti is particularly suited to people who don’t want to follow the crowd and are looking for the value alternative without compromising looks and practicality.

The UK development of the Lacetti chassis and suspension ensures excellent ride and handling honed over thousands of miles of testing.

The Lacetti model line-up comprises just three derivatives. Initially, two will be available - 1.4SE and 1.6SX. Even in the entry-level 1.4SE model, the specification includes power steering, ABS, dual front airbags, central door locking, electric front windows, a remote release for the boot, height-adjustable driver’s seat and adjustable steering wheel rake.

The 1.6SX has air conditioning, side airbags, alloy wheels, rake and reach adjustment for the steering column, keyless entry, powered and heated door mirrors and electric windows. Both derivatives feature a Blaupunkt single CD player as standard.

The on-the-road price is £9,495 for the 1.4SE and £10,495 for the 1.6SX, and includes Daewoo Peace of Mind - 3-years free servicing, 3-years warranty and 3-years Total AA recovery.

The Lacetti is a refreshing alternative in a new sector for Daewoo and available now at Birchwood Daewoo, Maidstone. Tel: 01622 716777 or log onto the website www.birchwoodgroup.co.uk
