In Europe , Chevrolet Rezzo minivans made their debut in Geneva (2001). The car received an interesting, stylish appearance for that time. The design is slightly different from the brothers in the class due to the unusually low floor seating. Here, all the units were carried to the front, freeing up space under their feet. The model is suitable for families who prefer compact sizes with comfortable placement, characteristic of large-sized cars.
First generation (2000-2004)
Despite the Chevrolet nameplate, the Rezzo compact truck (Tacuma) was developed by the Daewoo auto concern. The designers took the previous Nubira J100 model, modernized it, and entrusted the design to the Italian masters of Pininfarina. The output was a streamlined slender silhouette, not quite familiar for minivans, with a more rational layout of the internal space.
Salon
Rezzo is a compact vehicle of increased capacity, one of the few in the Daewoo range. The car is designed for a large family. The Chevrolet Rezzo Modular Salon can be transformed depending on current needs. The possibilities of transformation are vast. The three rear modular seats fold in a few seconds in any order. You can only fold backs, the seats themselves, completely remove them from the passenger compartment. When folded, useful capacity with a short body will increase to 1320 liters. The boot floor is lifting, a spare tire, a jack, a bollard fit under it.
The Chevrolet Rezzo car is designed for 5 people. There is a seven-seater option. Thanks to the large wheelbase of 2600 mm, passengers do not lack space. The dashboard is standard, the design delights are no different. Information boards read well in any light. There are several finishes available.

There is plenty of space between the driver’s knees and the dashboard. There is also ample room for the "overall" rear passengers. Even with the driver’s seat as far as possible, the passenger’s knees will not rest. The front seats are equipped with folding shelves for food with cup holders for the rear seats.

Minuses
- The car is noisy. The roar of the road, the creaks of the rear suspension, the rumbling of the engine are clearly audible in the cabin. Even the electric windows operate louder than usual.
- Complaints are caused by the operation of the Chevrolet Rezzo stove. Reviews about her are not flattering. At a value of "4" the air flow is such that it not so much drives heat into the cabin as it cools the radiator of the stove, the temperature does not get higher. In the "2" mode, the heat enters, but when accelerating at -15C to 95-100 km / h, the side windows are covered with frost in 10 minutes. The optimum mode in frost is "3".
pros
- The layout of the engine compartment is very thought out. Service areas are easily accessible. With a wrench, you can crawl without removing many covers.
- The principle of organizing the interior meets the best standards of minivans. The windshield is far removed. It does not hang over your head, it adds a feeling of spaciousness. A lot of free space for shoulders, legs, height.
- The absence of noticeable banks, passengers, pets does not cradle.
Chevrolet Rezzo: reviews
Many car owners say that the Rezzo in the city and on the highway - like two completely different cars. As if on a highway, a car is floating. In the range of 90-120 km / h, drivers note a smooth comfortable ride. The wheels securely hold the snowy track. Turns passes confidently. On the minivan, you can even practice some elements of the drift.
For the city, the automatic transmission algorithm is not very conveniently configured. When starting from a traffic light, the engine first slowly spins, then there is a sharp surge in power. It is also difficult to achieve a measured predictable ride. The Chevrolet Rezzo is either going too calmly or fast enough. The manual has no such drawbacks.
