There’s a new addition to the Chevrolet Lacetti line-up, and it brings with it better performance, stylish good looks and incomparable value for money.

It also comes with body coloured trim, stylish 15-inch alloy wheels, lowered suspension and integrated front fog lamps.
Inside, the highlight of the package is full leather seat trim finished in smart charcoal grey, while a leather-covered steering wheel and gear knob, plus metallic-effect inserts on the doors and facia add to the car’s sporty appeal.
Equipment highlights include air conditioning, a cooled glove box, four electric windows, electrically adjustable mirrors and a six-speaker Blaupunkt CD/Radio with steering wheel-mounted controls.
Power comes from a lively 1.8-litre 121PS petrol engine, which gives the Sport the ability to sprint from 0-62mph in 9.8 seconds, with a top speed of 121mph and 38.1mpg combined and CO2 emissions are 183g/km.
Lacetti owners can also benefit from Chevrolet’s fixed price servicing package – for a one-off payment of £199, it covers all of the car’s maintenance costs for the first three years or 30,000-miles.
