Increased fuel consumption of Lacetti 1.4. Fuel consumption of Chevrolet Lacetti in different trim levels. Fuel consumption with different engine sizes

Real reviews from owners about fuel consumption on the Chevrolet Lacetti:

Chevrolet Lacetti 1.4, petrol engine, manual transmission:

I have a 1.4 liter engine, a station wagon, but in fact the fuel consumption is such that it’s as if it costs a two liter. There is no air conditioning included, in winter it uses an average of 15 liters of gasoline per 100 km. When driving on the highway, sometimes the gasoline consumption is about 8.4-9.2 liters of 95 gasoline, in general it consumes like a lot. But most often I travel around the city on business.

This car's fuel consumption is approximately 8 liters per hundred square meters, if you accelerate to 120 km/h it turns out less. As soon as I bought it, I ate less for the first time, but after running it in, my consumption was normal. In general, for a 1.4-liter station wagon engine, fuel consumption of 8 liters is high.

Chevrolet Lacetti 1.4, review left by Mikhail from Samara

I have a 1.4 engine, fuel consumption is high, on the highway it’s 13 liters of gasoline, that’s if you drive 122-135 km/h, if you dial one hundred on the speedometer, it comes out to about 10 liters per 100 km.

I mostly go to school and often get stuck in traffic jams. Fuel consumption in the city is an average of 10-11 liters, on the highway, if you accelerate - 14-15 liters can easily go per 100 km. Engine 1.4.

I think I eat a lot! There were even cases when fuel consumption was high, reaching 16 liters per 100 kilometers! At a speed of 100-120. This is a lot for a station wagon with a 1.4 engine, it feels like I have a 1.8 liter engine under the hood.

Chevrolet Lacetti with 1.6 engine, automatic transmission:

I have a 1.6 engine, automatic transmission, station wagon. I will say this: for an automatic machine, the machine eats quite a lot. If you push it all the way in, fuel consumption averages 15 liters per 100 kilometers. If you properly adapt to the box, then at different times of the year you get from 9 to 12 liters of gasoline. When traveling long distances along the highway, fuel consumption is about 7 liters per 100 km.

If you don’t drive too hard, drive slowly, it reaches 9 liters per 100 km, this is in the city, on the highway, if you push it, gasoline consumption can reach 12 liters. In general, I am quite satisfied with the efficiency of the 1.6 liter engine.

With a 1.6 engine, an automatic, when driving around the city to work, the fuel consumption is 9 liters, when I go to the country, it was even 8, I think that’s quite normal. In general, I think that everything depends on the driving style; you don’t need to press the gas pedal as hard as you can.

Chevrolet Lacetti 1.6, mechanics:

Car with 1.6 engine, manual. When driving around the city, my fuel consumption is around 10 liters per 100 km; on the highway it takes about 7 liters of gasoline. Overall, it’s pretty good, but I’d also like to save some money. My driving style is non-aggressive, I don’t like racing.

Everything suits me, except fuel consumption on the 1.6 liter engine. In winter traffic jams in the city it turns out to be about 12 liters per 100 km. Although, of course, consumption also depends on driving style. Yes, by the way, fuel consumption is always higher in traffic jams.

It would be nice if gas mileage was lower with a 1.6 horsepower engine. The on-board computer shows a figure of 0.7 to more than one liter per hour - this is if I’m driving in neutral. In heavy traffic jams in the city, fuel consumption usually reaches 12 liters per hundred. On the highway, from five to eight liters are spent. I believe that normal fuel consumption should be about 6.2-7.3 liters per 100 km traveled at an average speed of 73-85 km/h. I don’t see much difference in the use of 92 and 95 gasoline.

Chevrolet Lacetti 1.8, mileage in Russia 149 thousand km

During winter operation, fuel consumption is high, on average 10 liters per 100 kilometers, sometimes it was more - about 13. But for me this is somehow too much. Since I live outside the city, I don’t experience much traffic jams. I often have to load the station wagon to capacity, I think maybe this is the reason for such consumption? I have a 1.8 liter Chevrolet Lacetti with a manual transmission.

Chevrolet Lacetti is a compact class C car developed by General Motors. The car entered the assembly line in 2002, and was officially produced until 2014. Lacetti is widely known on the market in sedan, hatchback and station wagon body versions. The car is the ideological successor to the outdated Nubira model. The design for Lacetti was developed through the efforts of the Italian studio Pininfarina under the leadership of Giorgetto Giugiaro. First, the sedan went on sale, and a year and a half later the hatchback began production. And finally, in 2004, the production of a station wagon was mastered. The successor to the Lacetti is the Chevrolet Cruze, although it is a completely different model. Now Lacetti is produced under the Ravon Gentra brand, which is well known on the Russian market.

Chevrolet Lacetti sedan, hatchback, station wagon fuel consumption reviews

With engine 1.4, 95 l. s., MT

Timur, Moscow. I bought a Chevrolet Lacetti in 2005, with a manual transmission and a 95-horsepower engine. The equipment is basic, with a minimum of options. I immediately installed a simple radio with a cassette player, and it’s still collecting dust. Fuel consumption is about 10 liters in the city. I praise the sedan for its good handling even on rough roads, a fairly stiff suspension and lack of roll, a comfortable interior and a spacious trunk. In general, the car is what you need. Budget and unpretentious. If you really need to save money, you can service it yourself. The Lacetti has traveled more than 150 thousand km, and the body is still like new. I admit, I repainted the side sills once.
Konstantin, Nikolaev. I have a used Lacetti with 105 thousand km mileage. The car is from 2007, an even more recent copy. Got it in good condition, with a 1.5-liter engine. 95 horsepower is quite enough for such a sedan. The car is comfortable and at the same time pleases with its dynamics and tenacious brakes. Fuel consumption in the city is 10 liters.
Oleg, Kazan. I have version 1.4, with a power of 95 horsepower and a manual transmission. Then it was one of the cheapest foreign cars in the middle class. I bought it in 2006, and I’ve been driving it since then, I have no plans to change it. I think that this car still has potential among modern small cars with inflatable engines. My Chevrolet has a naturally aspirated engine with a simple design. It is cheaper to maintain, durable and moderately economical. In the city it eats about 10 liters, which is considered the norm for such cars.
Julia, Rostov. I will praise my lacetti for its beautiful Italian design, economical one and a half liter engine with a power of 95 horsepower, fuel consumption of only 9-10 liters, precise operation of the gearbox and a spacious interior. My kids loved the car as soon as they got into it. My son has grown a little, and soon I will teach him how to drive, so that later it will be easier for him to pass his license.
Dmitry, Vorkuta. The car is 2008, bought in 2015 with 100 thousand mileage. I did some tuning of the body, installed aero kits around the entire perimeter, screwed a spoiler to the trunk, painted it red and the appearance began to look great. Thanks to the spoiler, it feels like the engine is pulling better. This means that aerodynamics have improved. The car is already quite fast and dynamic, and this is largely due to the stiff suspension and minimal roll when cornering. Fuel consumption is on average 9-10 liters per hundred with a manual transmission.
Marina, Taganrog. Chevrolet Lacetti is a car of the era. My husband calls her that. A bestseller on the Russian market and CIS countries, so to speak. We have the most basic version, 95-horsepower, consumes only 8-9 liters in the city. The main thing is not to overdo the mechanics with its short gears. Lacetti is like a member of the family for us; we carry both children and animals in it.
Sergey, Krasnodar region. The car was bought new in 2009 from a dealer in Moscow. I have relatives there. They bought it and brought it to me. Just run it in properly. We took the most basic version, with a manual transmission and a 95-horsepower 1.5 engine. But I still like the car, I quickly adjusted the driver’s seat to suit myself. I turned on the heat, the music and drove off. By the way, I also had to buy an additional radio tape recorder, otherwise it was a completely bare version. Friends like it; the level of comfort is practically not inferior to modern AvtoVAZ models. It is almost no different from the Gentra; they are structurally identical cars. Fuel consumption with manual transmission is up to 10 liters per 100 km.
Nikita, Kaliningrad. We bought the Lacetti for the New Year. Based on an ad, we found a version with a 95 horsepower engine, in good condition. Fuel consumption is a maximum of 12 liters per hundred. My wife and I love adventure, so we like to drive fast, which is why the consumption is so high. We'll install HBO soon and continue to pour in from the heart. The 95-horsepower engine is enough for most of our adventures.
Nikita, Lipetsk. The car is useful for all occasions - for taxi work, for family and other household needs. I have a sedan version, with a 1.5 95 horsepower engine. Then it was the best offer on the market among foreign cars. Model 2005, purchased as standard. The car accelerates quickly, as if there were 120 horses under the hood, no less. This is all thanks to a well-tuned chassis and elastic suspension. In general, Chevrolet engineers did their best. Fuel consumption does not exceed 11 liters/100 km, which is not bad for a fairly large sedan with a length of 4.5 meters.

With 1.6 engine, 109 horsepower, MT

Boris, Peter. The car is decent, it still has potential. Fast and dynamic, just what I need. The engine produces 109 horses, acceleration to the first hundred in just 10 seconds. In my opinion, you won’t find a better budget car with such an engine. The manual gearbox is just right for this engine. I competed with a Lada Vesta with an engine of the same power. Confidently overtook Lada and several other competitors. In terms of acceleration dynamics, Logan is also no rival to my Lacetti. In general, it is a beast, not a machine. On weekends I participate in night races around the city. By the way, fuel consumption in the city is 12 liters per hundred.
Svyatoslav, Krasnodar region. I use my father's Chevrolet Lacetti in the taxi service. The car in its new role justifies itself and reveals all its advantages. Repainted it yellow to match and stand out in traffic. The engine is powerful, 109 horsepower, fuel consumption is on average 11 liters. Arranges.
Alexey, Lipetsk. I have the top version of the Lacetti, I bought it in 2014. I’m driving it and still enjoying the superbly tuned chassis. I didn’t regret one bit that I took the manual version, although my friends tried to persuade me to take the automatic version. With a manual transmission the car is even faster. I tried to accelerate to 100 km/h on the highway, as a result, this procedure took about 10 seconds. An excellent result for a budget sedan. They are not the least bit outdated and can compete with modern analogues. They say that the same engine (1.6, 109 horsepower) was offered for the old Daewoo Nexia. It was a beast and not a machine. Lacetti is no worse. Eats on average 10-12 liters per 100 km.
Stanislav, Tyumen. Chevrolet Lacetti was bought in 2010, with a manual transmission and a 1.6 engine. At first we thought about taking the 1.8 version with 120 horsepower, but it was a very rare engine and we would have to wait a long time for the order. But the 1.6-liter Lacetti is also quite good, 10 seconds to a hundred. Consumption up to 12 liters/100 km.
Anton, Donetsk. The car is quite suitable for my needs. I have the 2014 version, with a 109 horsepower engine. I bought a used model in 2015. To do this I had to go to Rostov. I came back and immediately got to work. The Lacetti is like a workhorse for me, great for transporting bulk products and canned goods. I distribute them to points where humanitarian aid is distributed to pensioners and victims of hostilities in the Donbass. Nothing complicated, my Lacetti copes with this with a bang. This is how I drive around the city every day. The car is comfortable and dynamic, consumption is 12 liters.
Nadezhda, Tomsk region. I have a 2014 Lacetti, with a 1.6 engine and manual transmission. A car for work, I deliver orders throughout the region. Documents and other paper parcels. But such a sedan is also useful for household needs. For example, you can fold the rear seats and transport some long cargo. Fuel consumption is 10-11 liters/100 km.
Lisa, Kazan. The Lacetti became my second car after the VAZ-2107. The differences are colossal, even though Chevrolet is not that new. Model 2007, with mechanics and engine 107 horsepower. Very fast and at the same time reliable car. The odometer now has 80,000 miles on it, and no problems have arisen so far. I do the service and have no problems. In short, I drive without worries, like in a real full-fledged foreign car. Albeit a budget one. Fuel consumption is 10-12 liters with manual transmission. The gears are engaged clearly, which is very convenient when overtaking. On our roads the Lacetti drives a little harshly, but this is the price to pay for excellent handling.
Ramzan, Chechnya. The car is worth it, I specifically chose a Lacetti with a 1.6 engine, so that after a couple of months I wouldn’t have to think about a new car. Fast, reliable and comfortable car, consumes 12 liters of fuel. I installed a child seat in the back and there were no installation problems. Everything is quite modern. It steers actively and drives almost without roll, which is very useful at high speed.
Dmitry, Voronezh region. I have a 2008 Lacetti, with a manual transmission and a 1.6-liter engine that produces 109 horsepower. The engine is one of the main advantages of this budget model. You can go on the highway without any problems and overtake all sorts of reckless drivers. The sedan has enough traction reserve; in the city this car has no equal among the competitors that we have in Voronezh - only Ladas and Solaris. Fuel consumption is 12-13 liters per hundred, if you press the gas hard. The interior is average in spaciousness, but with a capacious trunk. Comfortable driving position, good sound insulation. I'm happy with the car.
Vitek, Belgorod. I bought a Chevrolet from a dealer in 2014. The last cars were just being sold. I got the top version, and at a discount. Why not buy it, I think. I even took it without a test drive, I know this car like the back of my hand - I had to repair it at a car service more than once. My Lacetti's fuel consumption is 12 liters, with a 1.6 engine and manual gearbox.
Igor, Tyumen. A car for all occasions, I like it. The entire potential of the Lacetti lies in its high reliability and powerful engine, which in my version produces 109 horses. I’m willing to argue with Vestas, Solaris and Rios, which are more modern, but not as fast due to the fact that they are constrained by strict economic standards. My Chevrolet Lacetti consumes 10-11 liters per 100 km. This is not much, but there is an alternative to reducing gasoline costs - this is buying LPG, which is what I will do in the near future. I don’t use the car in winter, I’ve read a lot of reviews and now I’m afraid that corrosion will suddenly appear and I’ll need to take it to the service again.

With engine 1.6, 109 horsepower, AT

Nikolay, Taganrog. I thought for a long time which version to buy - with a manual or automatic, but with a 1.6 engine, 109 horsepower. In the end, I settled on the automatic version and did not regret it. Anyway, I often drive in the city, and rarely go to the highway. The gearbox shifts gears smoothly, and in my opinion reveals the full potential of the engine. Only the consumption with it is a little more than with a manual – about 12 liters per hundred. But soon I’ll install HBO, and I’ll start punishing the reckless people. The interior is made of high-quality plastic, although hard, but pleasant to the touch. It looks nice, although the controls are a bit old. But everything is convenient and you don’t need much getting used to it.
Nikolay, Lipetsk. A classic taxi car, what else can I say. I've been driving it for five years now and have no complaints. And the clients are also happy with the machine. The sedan is comfortable and fast, the 109-horsepower engine does its job. The automatic transmission works fine, consumption is about 10-12 liters per 100 km. There is enough space in the back for three people of average build.
Nikita, Novosibirsk. I have a Chevrolet Lacetti with an automatic transmission and a 1.6 engine. At first I planned to use a 1.8-liter engine; it was almost a sports car by those standards. Friends advised and persuaded me, but I decided to do it my way. I don't need any show off. The 1.6 engine is quite enough, especially since it produces an acceptable 109 horses. The dynamics pleased me, acceleration to the first hundred takes 11-12 seconds. For a car with an archaic four-speed automatic transmission, this is a decent indicator. Due to the lack of a fifth gear, the engine quickly reaches high speeds and consumes fuel heavily. This often happens on the highway when cruising speed is needed. In the city it consumes 12 liters, but on the highway it could be less - at least 10 liters.
Anna, Simferopol. The car is very comfortable, I feel at home in it, and this is its main advantage. I say this because I'm used to it. The salon is decorated in pleasant warm colors, and in general the interior looks friendly. With a 1.6 engine and automatic transmission, fuel consumption reaches 12 l/100 km. This is in the city, but on the highway it turns out to be about 9 liters.
Sergey, Rostov. The car pleased with its decent dynamics and high reliability. We have the 2010 version, with a 1.6 engine and a four-speed gearbox. I regret a little that I didn’t take it with the mechanics. With it the car is more dynamic and economical. Alas, you have to pay for comfort. The fact is that with an automatic transmission, the gears engage smoother and more imperceptibly. The ride is better, and you drive as if in a business class sedan. Fuel consumption is 12-13 liters in the city. I liked the car, I would take one for myself, but technical progress does not stand still. I'll go to the trade-in soon and exchange it for Vesta.
Konstantin, Sakhalin region. Our Chevrolet Lacetti is a four-door sedan, with a 1.6 engine and automatic transmission. In my opinion, a good combination for a compact city car. We bought it in 2014, just before this whole crisis mess. Fuel consumption is on average 11-12 liters, which suits me. The family likes the car, the eldest daughter is already asking to learn how to drive. And for this she only needs the Lacetti.
Masha, Peter. The Chevrolet Lacetti is a decent car for my lifestyle. The 109-horsepower engine in the cabin is barely audible - this is how I checked the sound insulation. I liked the doors themselves, which close with a characteristic bang, like those of prestigious German cars. You can feel the level even in the smallest things. The controls are simple, and this is their advantage. Everything is at hand, a convenient gear shift lever. You can drive in manual mode, fuel consumption is on average 10-12 liters with an automatic transmission. On the highway I drive under 200, in the city the maximum is 70-80 km/h. In both cases the ride is comfortable, directional stability is excellent.
With engine 1.8, 122 l. s., MT
Vasily, Sverdlovsk. I decided not to waste time on trifles and took the top-of-the-line Chevrolet Lacetti. Let me explain, this is a version with a 1.8 engine, power 122 horsepower. I chose a manual transmission, it better reveals the potential of the engine. By the way, a similar unit is installed on the top-end Vestas. After the purchase, I immediately decided to check who was faster. True, I have a manual, and the Lada Vesta has a robot. In the end there was parity, no one won. In terms of dynamics, the cars were approximately at the same level. Of course, the Lada is a more modern car, but by those standards the Lacetti was very cheap. Fuel consumption is 11-12 liters per 100 km.
Oleg, Yaroslavl. I took a used Lacetti with a 1.8-liter engine and manual transmission. Accelerates to the first hundred in ten seconds. The car is used actively, in the city and on the highway. There are times when I go for amateur races at night, because this car is capable of a lot. Made the suspension even stiffer. Fuel consumption for my driving style is 13-14 liters per hundred.
Igor, Moscow region. I had to wait two months for a Lacetti with a rare 1.8 engine and manual transmission. At first I planned to order one with an automatic rifle, but one would arrive in three months. It was in 2013, we then wanted to get the network behind the wheel of a Chevrolet by the New Year, so we decided not to wait for an automatic. The car arrived just on December 25, and it was our most important gift for the New Year. 122 horsepower, 1.8 engine and manual – a good combination for fast driving. Fuel consumption is low - only 12 liters on average. We service the car at a company service station, the car is generally reliable. Already drove 80 thousand km. Of the unforeseen malfunctions, only the windshield wipers were replaced; their motors suddenly stopped working.
Nikita, Vladimir. I praise the Chevrolet Lacetti for its flexible and torquey engine, precise operation of the manual transmission and high fuel efficiency - an average of 12 liters, which is very good for such amazing dynamics. I was pleased with the comfortable seating; passengers also sit comfortably and do not complain. It's just noisy at high speeds.

With engine 1.8, 122 l. s., AT

Alexey, Leningrad region. All I need in this car is its 1.8-liter engine. It produces 122 horses - very decent for an aspirated engine, which was invented in the early 2000s. For a budget sedan, this is just a gift and not a motor. At that time, the unit was decent, but it was very rarely in demand among us. But I was from that circle of buyers who want to stand out from the crowd. So I took the top-end Lacetti, and even with a gun. Fuel consumption is about 13 liters in the city. I have gas, so there are no problems with maintaining the car. The only negative is that the smell of gas seeps into the cabin, especially when you drive in dynamic mode. The problem appeared over time. In short, it's time to take it to the service.
Margarita, Kyiv. I love fast cars, like this Chevrolet Lacetti with a 1.8 engine. Car with automatic transmission. I liked the handling, quick steering responses, informative gas and brake pedals. The box works with some hesitation, but what can you do, this is a budget class. Overall, the sedan behaves dynamically and inaccessibly. Fuel consumption is 12-13 liters.
Nikolay, Poltava. My Lacetti has the perfect combination of dynamics and comfort. This is a real people's car, and it is not for nothing that it was in high demand in Russia. Although the 1.8-liter version did not seem to be delivered to us. I bought a used version, most likely imported from abroad. I found it in an advertisement, a car with an automatic transmission, producing 122 horsepower. Acceleration to hundreds in 10-11 seconds. With the pedal constantly pressed to the floor, fuel consumption reaches 12-13 liters per hundred. For a budget sedan this is already the ceiling, it’s time to switch to gas. And install a spoiler.
Alexander, St. Petersburg. I have been working in a taxi service for four years now, together with a Chevrolet Lacetti sedan. I wanted to pamper myself and take the 122 hp version. With. with a machine gun. I won’t say that the car is fast, but perhaps only in the city. It starts briskly from a standstill, but at speeds above 80 km/h the engine begins to quickly turn sour. Fuel consumption 12 liters.

Chevrolet Lacetti is a compact class C car, produced from 2002 to 2014. The Lacetti family included three body types - a five-door hatchback, a four-door sedan and a station wagon. The car was in high demand in the post-Soviet space, in particular in Russia. Today the model is produced under the Ravon brand, and exclusively in a sedan body. The updated car received the front part from the Chevrolet Lacetti hatchback. The ideological successor to the Chevrolet Lacetti is the Cruze model, which entered the assembly line in 2012.

Chevrolet Lacetti owner reviews

With 1.4 engine

Tatyana, Novosibirsk. My Lacetti is the optimal car for the city. It was in 2005, I chose the version with a 1.4-liter engine producing 95 horsepower. This was enough for my first car, I still drive it. But now the power is somehow not enough. I liked the car, it consumes an average of 8 liters per hundred kilometers.
Boris, Vorkuta. A versatile car that drives and brakes great. The suspension is quite stiff, but thanks to it, roll in corners is minimal, and the car steers very actively. A kind of city lighter. The modest 1.4-liter does not get along with the lively chassis, you have to put up with it. Consumption 8 liters per hundred.
Julia, Tver. Chevrolet Lacetti is my first foreign car, I bought it in the mid-2000s. In the basic version, with manual transmission and a 1.4-liter gasoline engine. It produces about 100 horses and drives well. Quite a dynamic car, consumes no more than 8-9 liters/100 km.
Konstantin, Lipetsk. I have a 2007 Lacetti, with 120 thousand miles. There are minimal breakdowns, I service them at official dealers. A 1.4 petrol engine with manual consumes an average of 8 liters.
Reliable, Perm. My husband gave me the car, used it, and then saved it for a Toyota Corolla. He still drives it, and I drive an old Lacetti. I can't wait for him to give me the Toyota. I’m happy with the Lacetti, I’m not complaining one bit, but it’s my own, personal car. My husband wanted to sell it himself, but I insisted. A car with a 1.4 engine consumes 9 liters.
Oleg, Nikolaev. The car is manufactured in 2005, with a 1.4-liter engine. The power of 94 is not enough on the highway, you have to squeeze the gas to the floor and burn fuel. On the contrary, in the city you can save money. Overall the car is fine if you don't drive it too hard. Besides, this car is not designed to pile on. Consumption in the urban cycle is no more than 8-9 liters per hundred, on the highway it comes out to 7-8 liters. I have the sedan version, I like the design. Only the front part doesn’t look very good, kind of old-fashioned. It would be better if they did it right away, like the Daewoo Gentra. And the car is okay, I’m still driving it. Reliable car, I service it myself whenever possible.
Maxim, Pyatigorsk. I bought the Lacetti in 2006, with a 94-horsepower gasoline engine. Not a bad car for all occasions, it has never let me down. The car consumes an average of 8 l/100 km, and in my opinion this is good for a car of this class. The sedan is comfortable, there is enough space. The front panel is pleasingly simple; you don’t need to get used to it.
Alexey, Odessa. The car is from 2004, equipped with a 1.4 engine and a manual transmission. I have the most basic version, in the city it consumes about 8 liters per hundred of gasoline. The manual shifts superbly, even the engine can’t keep up with the gearbox. There's not enough power, but you can accelerate to 100 km/h in a commendable 12 seconds if you push hard enough.
Oleg, Magnitogorsk. The car was a gift from relatives, the 2004 version. Just for the New Year 2017 they decided to give me a gift, I just passed my license. This is where I was pleased. It doesn't matter that the car is old. I patched it up and can go to work in peace. With a 1.4 engine and manual transmission it consumes an average of 8 liters per hundred.
Alexander, Lipetsk. I love my Lacetti, I’ve already gotten used to the car in ten years. Despite the modest 1.4-liter engine, the car is very dynamic in the city. It consumes no more than 9 liters of gasoline, a very economical car.

With 1.6 manual transmission engine

Larisa, Moscow. A car for all occasions, with elastic suspension and agile handling. The car handles great and the gearbox works great. Plus, the engine hasn’t let us down yet, 110 horsepower shoots out from under the hood as it should. Consumption 9-10 liters.
Margarita, Tomsk. A car for every day, I don’t get tired of it at all. Reliable and fast, with a comfortable interior and an optimal balance between dynamics and efficiency. By the way, in the city the 1.6-liter Lacetti consumes only 10 liters.
Vasily, Nizhny Novgorod. I liked the car, I'm not going to sell it. This will be the first car for my children, now I’m teaching them how to drive, it will be easier for them to pass the traffic rules exam. I will say about the car that it is very easy to learn and does not require getting used to. Brakes well, acceleration is dynamic and smooth. A 1.6-liter manual engine consumes 10 liters per hundred.
Tatyana, Tyumen. I have a four-door Lacetti sedan. The 1.6-liter petrol is enough for me in the city, I drive around and don’t complain. Consumption 9-10 l.
Oleg, Dnepropetrovsk. My Lacetti with a 1.6 engine and manual drives great around the city, quite quickly and comfortably. I actively change lanes from one lane to the next; I can overtake several cars at a time. The Lacetti has plenty of traction, despite the seemingly modest 1.6-liter unit. At least for 110 horsepower the car behaves wow. At the same time, the car is economical, in urban conditions it consumes 9-10 liters per hundred. I like the car, I'm not planning to sell it yet. Maintenance is inexpensive and there are many spare parts available. You can get it at a disassembly shop, the quality there is not bad.
Dmitry, Nizhny Novgorod region. I'm happy with the car, I have a 1.6-liter version with a manual transmission. Acceleration to hundreds in 11 seconds, very good. In my opinion, this is one of the fastest cars among its classmates by the standards of the mid-2000s. I don’t regret one bit that I took this version. A car with character that gives pleasure every day. Eats no more than 10 liters per hundred.
Nikolay, Donetsk. The car is a blast, the operating costs are negligible even in the absence of warranty service. I do the repairs myself, but there’s not much to do there - mainly changing the oil and filters. In terms of reliability, Lacheti can probably be compared with Japanese cars. The 1.6 engine with manual transmission consumes 9-10 liters per hundred.
Elena, Penza. Nice car, well made inside and out. It looks original, and as far as I know, the Lacetti design was developed in an Italian studio. The car is equipped with a 1.6 engine and manual transmission, consumes about 9-11 liters, no more. I fill up with 95 gasoline.

With engine 1.6 automatic transmission

Sergey, Taganrog. A car for all occasions, namely for the city, for the highway and for country travel. You don’t have to worry too much about traffic jams; there’s an automatic that goes well with the 1.6-liter engine. With the most fussy driving, the engine needs about 12 liters.
Alexey, Chelyabinsk. I praise the Lacetti for its lively 1.6-liter engine and fast automatic transmission; I didn’t even expect such agility from an old four-speed. Gasoline consumption in the city is 10-11 liters, on the highway it is 8-9 liters.
Igor, Novosibirsk. I have a Lacetti in the maximum configuration, with a 1.6-liter engine. The engine is very dynamic, in the city it consumes 12 liters with an automatic transmission. I drive quite fast, as the chassis allows it. The engine loves revs, and the gearbox is tuned for dynamic driving - it quickly changes gears, and in extreme cases, you can switch to manual mode. At the same time, the Lacetti is a rather rigid car, but it hardly rolls and readily obeys the steering wheel. There is no need to wait for the wheels to turn, everything works in an instant. There is enough space in the cabin for four tall passengers.
Dmitry, Rostov. I'm happy with the car, I bought it on a used market. The version with 1.6 and automatic transmission consumes an average of 10 liters. If you pile it on, all 12 liters will come out. I think this is too much for a car of this level, so I switched to LPG. Consumption is high due to the automatic transmission, although there are no complaints about its operation. Overall, I liked the Lacetti, I think that this is exactly what a budget car should be - comfortable, moderately tough, well-handled and reliable.
Daniil, Vologda region. A universal car, it pleases with its dynamics and comfort, adjusted for the budget class, of course. Gasoline consumption is 10-11 liters, which is quite good for a 1.6-liter engine with an automatic transmission.
Nikolay, Krasnodar region. I bought the car to use as a taxi, and I still drive it today. The mileage is now 110 thousand, there are no technical breakdowns or other problems as such. Everything works perfect, I'm very happy. The 1.6 engine and automatic transmission work together, everything is as it should be. I try to keep within 10 liters per hundred.
Marina, Irkutsk. The Chevrolet Lacetti is a car without compromise when considered among its competitors. Renault Logan (the first) is not his rival, nor is Lada Kalina. I think that the car is still relevant, so I’m in no hurry to sell. The fact that it is modern is confirmed by the redesigned Daewoo Gentra. So we can say that the Lacetti is still on sale. My car consumes an average of 10 liters per hundred. Under the hood is a 110 horsepower engine and an automatic transmission.
Andrey, Ekaterinoslavl. I'm as happy with the car as an elephant, I found it on the secondary market in excellent condition. The car drives quickly and is very comfortable in the city thanks to the automatic transmission. I drive slowly, I have nowhere to rush. The 1.6-liter unit consumes 11 liters.

With 1.8 manual transmission engine

Vladimir, Moscow. I bought a Lacetti in the top-end configuration, with a 1.8-liter engine. I originally planned a version with automatic transmission, but this was not available. In the end, I ordered a car with a manual transmission, and did not regret it. On the contrary, it’s very good that there was no machine gun then. A very economical and fast car, with acceleration to hundreds in 10 seconds. The mechanics perfectly reveal the potential of the engine, which produces an acceptable 122 power. In terms of dynamics, the car is comparable to a 1.8-liter Lada Vesta, my friend has one. And in general the cars are very similar in handling and comfort. Gasoline consumption 11 liters.
Yaroslav, Tambov. Surely this car is still relevant, but now on the supported market. I have a top-end Lacetti 2008, with an automatic transmission and a 122-horsepower engine. The car is fine, it breaks down due to small things, nothing. Consumption is 10 liters per hundred on average.
Kirill, Petrozavodsk. A normal car for the money, the Lacetti at one time was one of the most affordable in its class. The 1.8-liter engine is powerful and well tuned to work with a manual transmission. You can accelerate to 220 km/h when descending a mountain. The machine eats an average of 11 liters.
Stanislav, Buryatia. The Lacetti is satisfactory in most respects, the only negative for Russian conditions is the harsh suspension, due to which you can feel every bump and pothole. But the car handles well and does not roll. The 1.8 engine with automatic transmission consumes 11 liters.
Larisa, Novosibirsk. I'm happy with the car, this is my first car. I bought the Lacetti in 2007, currently the mileage is 122 thousand km. A fast and economical car, it consumes no more than 12 liters during the most dynamic driving. I refurbished the interior, dry-cleaned it, and installed additional sound insulation. The cabin has become quieter and more comfortable, even at speeds exceeding 100 km/h.
Ekaterina, Magnitogorsk. Chevrolet Lacetti is one of the best cars I've ever owned. All these basins, Volgas and Lanos cannot be compared with the Lacetti, which gives the impression of a car as if from a new era. Decent dynamics and smoothness, good handling. Gasoline consumption per hundred is 10-12 liters, under the hood is a 1.8-liter engine with a capacity of 122 horsepower, works with a manual transmission.

With engine 1.8 automatic transmission

Maxim, Krivoy Rog. The car is worth the money, I have a version with a rare 1.8-liter engine. I remember waiting for the order for a whole month. But then I was so overwhelmed with happiness that I then had to file an accident report. The car was lucky; Lacetti escaped with dents. Side collision at an intersection, no one was hurt, everything happened at a snail's pace. After this incident, I drive more carefully and leisurely. Although the 1.8-liter engine is capable of a lot. Gasoline consumption averages 11 liters per hundred.
Dmitry, Lipetsk. I'm happy with the car, I think you won't find a better car for that kind of money. I have a 1.8-liter version with an automatic transmission that produces 122 horsepower. Just like the Lada Vesta, it’s a pity there’s no way to compare. But according to the passport data, the cars are close in dynamics. Now there are 130 thousand km on the odometer. Consumption of at least 10 liters/100 km. Reliability is still okay, but that's it for now. Still age. Apparently, the time has come to part with my swallow, I’m planning to buy a Toyota Corolla, I still have a little more to do and it’s in the bag.
Alexander, Kursk. It was a great car until it was totaled. Powerful, in the city he leaned on it properly. That's the reason, I just like to drive fast. Well, I miscalculated once and got into a head-on accident. Cannot be restored. I admitted my guilt, I have nothing to lose, the car is in the trash anyway. The Lacetti stayed with me for almost ten years, with a 1.8 engine and an automatic transmission it consumed 10 l/100 km.
Olga, Nizhny Novgorod region. The Lacetti is a necessary car, a car of this level will be useful everywhere - at work and in the family. The car has high potential, a very dynamic and comfortable car. Consumes 11 liters of gasoline with an automatic transmission.
Nikita, Arkhangelsk. The Lacetti has served me for 12 years and still works well. Needs capital, engine and transmission are acting up. But you can drive - I use it at the dacha, for economic purposes, so to speak. The 1.8 petrol engine consumes 11 liters.
Igor, Novosibirsk. Quite a tough car, not very suitable for our roads. But it handles excellently, at the level of more top-end European cars. I remember that in the second half of the 2000s, this Chevrolet was the most popular car in its class on the Russian market. I have a 2008 model. My swallow is already ten years old, but she looks like new. I have it serviced regularly at the Chevrolet service center. I buy only original spare parts, everything is top-notch. Reliability is all right, the car can be said to last for centuries. I won't sell until I get tired of it. That means never. The car is equipped with a 1.8-liter engine, with an automatic transmission it consumes 10-11 liters.

Probably the most pressing topic for Chevrolet Lacetti owners is fuel consumption. The Lacetti's fuel consumption is, in fact, too high even for a 1.4-liter engine by modern standards. Even too big! As one familiar Chevrolet Lacetti owner says: “The only way to reduce fuel consumption on a Lacetti is to buy another car :)”

But it is not all that bad. There are still ways to reduce the fuel consumption of the Chevrolet Lacetti. Let's look at the issue of fuel consumption using my Chevrolet Lacetti Hatchback 1.6 MT as an example. According to the manufacturer, the average conditional fuel consumption is -7.1 l/100km, city - 9.1 l/100km, highway - 6.0 l/100km. Yes, the data for a modern car is frightening - more than 9 liters per 100 km in the city! And these are the manufacturer’s data, but in practice, as you know, things are a little different and obviously not for the lesser.

But the question is different. Why does the fuel consumption of the Lacetti vary so much between individual copies of the same model?

Very often you hear that some people's fuel consumption exceeds even 15 liters per hundred kilometers.

So it is in my case. The map of my movements is approximately 80% around the city and 20% highway. My Lacetti's fuel consumption is 8.6-8.8 l/100km. As for me, this is a fairly acceptable consumption for this engine. But a friend of mine (and many people too) has a fuel consumption of 1.4 on a sedan! exceeds 12 l/100km.

So why is this so? I do not use any additives or “miracle magnets”. It's just all about the simplest little things.

High fuel consumption Lacetti

To reduce fuel consumption in a car, you need to perform several simple but important steps and learn to follow some rules.

I will state the first and probably most important thing first. It is necessary to learn how to properly drive a car with an engine management system (popularly called an injection engine). Namely, use the cutoff mode for the benefit of your pocket. For those who don't know what it is, I'll briefly explain.

The cut-off mode is a banal engine braking. But not entirely banal. The fact is that under certain conditions in the cut-off mode, the ECU reduces the fuel supply through the injectors! Up to complete cessation of fuel supply. For example, at idle the injection pulse duration is 2.5-3 ms, and in cut-off mode it is usually 1-1.5 ms. That is, it’s twice as cheap to travel this way!

Certain conditions are usually:

coolant temperature above 70 degrees
engine speed above 1500 rpm.
throttle valve closed
absolute pressure in the intake manifold is below 28-25 kPa

That is, if the engine is warm and you are accelerating or moving downhill, then do not switch to neutral, but simply release the accelerator pedal and continue driving. If there is a planned slowdown ahead, then shift into a lower gear and apply engine braking. At this moment, you will drive cheaper or absolutely free (in terms of fuel) and, in addition, you will significantly save on brake pads and discs

Compliance with this rule alone can significantly reduce fuel consumption!

But there are also nuances here. On different firmware, the reduction in injection pulse time may differ. If it decreases only slightly, then the desired savings will not be achieved. Because in the cut-off mode the speed is higher than at idle and they offset the slight decrease in injection time.

Well, in general, it is advisable to fulfill these important points:

1. You should try to refuel in one place so that the ECU spends less time “adjusting” for different gasoline.

Much depends on these sensors in the formation of the fuel-air mixture

14.Do you remember when you changed the air filter? A dirty filter increases fuel consumption.

16. Perhaps one of the main points is to decide

18. And of course, correct and calm driving without sudden acceleration and braking. Do not raise engine speed above 3000 rpm. Well, of course it's possible :)

These are all the main ways to reduce the fuel consumption of the Lacetti.

Take care of yourself and good luck on the roads!

Fuel consumption per 100 km for the Chevrolet Lacetti is one of the most pressing topics for owners of this car. And, it seems, the engines are not the most ancient, but the consumption is still sometimes alarming. Everything that the manufacturer and owners say about this, everything that you can do with your own hands to reduce gasoline consumption, we will find out today.

What does the onboard show?

Normal, depending on who you are. Some people are not too worried about the 25-liter consumption of the Cadillac Escalade, but the price categories of the cars are somewhat different. Our Lacetti comes from a poor Asian family, so he would have to be accustomed to a modest diet. His parents, the Korean division of General Motors, say that gasoline consumption standards for sedan and hatchback cars with 95-horsepower 1.4-liter engines and a manual transmission should be as follows:

city consumption should not exceed 9.3 l per 100 km ;
when moving along the highway the car should be enough 5.9 liters per hundred ;
7.1 liters- this is normal consumption in mixed mode.

Manufacturer survey results

So what is the cost?

However, in addition to these meager figures, the manufacturer provides a detailed list of factors that can affect the increase in the car’s appetite. The figures that we present below were not taken out of thin air, but were established by an official survey of GM. They took part in it 115 sedans with different engines produced until 2013.

Here's what the company says about the results of the study and what and how affects the gas mileage of their brainchild:

The trailer will “gobble up” an extra liter, no less!

These are official statistics from General Motors, although many users give completely different figures.

Real fuel consumption per 100 km for a Chevrolet Lacetti with a 1.4 liter engine

1.4 liters. A little weak, too much consumption!

In fact, few owners of sedans with a 1400 cc engine in the city manage to consume less than 12–13 liters.

Consumption on the highway for the majority is consistent with the company’s average data - this is 7–8 liters . Of course, if you put the pedal to the floor and constantly apply the brakes at every intersection, then the consumption can be no less than 15–18 liters, which does not at all fit with the modest 95 horsepower.

How to reduce consumption?

Gasoline level on the instrument panel.

To prevent gasoline costs from burdening your budget too much, it is enough to keep the engine in good condition, change oils and consumables on time, and fill in with high-quality gasoline. This is already understandable - an unregulated or faulty engine will consume more gasoline by default.

However, a few additional tips will definitely help you save a liter or two of expensive gasoline. Here they are:

Engine braking . Any injection engine has a so-called cut-off mode. It is triggered when the car is moving in gear but the throttle valve is completely closed. If several conditions are met (engine warmed up to operating temperature, speed above 1300–1500 rpm), the electronic control unit completely shuts off the fuel supply to the injectors and at this moment we move completely free. Here's an example - we are going down a hill on a good road and instead of turning on neutral and braking with the brake, we leave the gearbox in the same gear or switch to a lower gear by releasing the gas pedal. We save both fuel and brake pads. If you use this trick, savings are guaranteed.
High quality gasoline - This is good. But even high-quality gasoline at different gas stations can have different composition, not to mention a surrogate. In this case, the electronic control unit spends time and extra gasoline setting up the control system for a specific fuel. Conclusion - by refueling at one gas station, you can also save a couple of liters.
The rest is simple - correct tire pressure , no extra cargo in the trunk, working sensors, turning off unnecessary electricity consumers on board and a clean air filter will also help save several liters of gasoline.

conclusions

Of course, every driver has his own temperament and driving style, his own routes and favorite gas stations, but if the question is about saving gasoline, maybe it makes sense to reconsider established habits? Good luck to everyone on the roads and economical travel!
