The Lacetti line-up of Chevrolet has been graced with another model which is the Lacetti Station Wagon. What Chevrolet boasts of this model is that the only gear that drivers have to shift is the one that’s in the load bay.
Chevrolet is known to be one automaker which provides new cars that have great value and it has once again proved just how much true that is. It has now introduced a new 1.8 SX edition for the popular Lacetti Station Wagon which has automatic transmission as its standard gearbox.
This model costs about £12,795 on-the-road and it has the same levels of standard equipment that the 1.6 SX has. Aside from that, the Chevrolet Lacetti Station Wagon also has a lot of equipment that would normally only found in expensive models such as the all-electric windows, front and side airbags for protection, smart 15-inch alloy wheels, traction control, , air conditioning system, power door mirrors, leather-covered steering wheel, remote central locking with engine immobilizer, leather0covered gear knob, radio-CD with MP3 capability, and a cooled glove compartment.
The 1.8 SX engine installed under the new Chevrolet model’s hood is mated to a four-speed automatic transmission which comes as standard as what’s mentioned earlier. With this, the Lacetti Station Wagon can accelerate from 0-62 miles per hour in 12 seconds and its top speed is 116mph. For its combined fuel economy, it is recorded to cover at least 32.1 miles per gallon of fuel.
The Lacetti Station Wagon is actually just the first of many models to come that will eventually join the Chevrolet line up for 2008. With the lot of models still yet to be added, they are further adding to Chevrolet’s rapidly increasing presence in the UK. It was actually a good year for Chevrolet last 2007 as the automaker celebrated its record sales year in the UK as it was able to increase its sales to up to 27.5 percent. This just proves just how much fast Chevrolet’s presence in the country is increasing. There will be two other models which will join Chevrolet’s line up for 2008, following the successful launch of Chevrolet’s Captiva SUV in UK last year 2007.
