The Daewoo Lacetti is a compact car produced by GM Korea since 2002. The first generation of the Lacetti was released as a four-door sedan and five-door station wagon, with designs by Pininfarina and Giorgetto Giugiaro. In Europe, the sedan and wagon were sold as the Daewoo Nubira, while in North America, they were marketed as the Suzuki Forenza. The five-door hatchback variant, known as the Daewoo Lacetti5 in South Korea and the Suzuki Reno in the U.S., was introduced in 2004.
Post-2004, the hatchback model transitioned to being marketed as the Chevrolet Nubira and Lacetti across Europe, the Chevrolet Optra in Canada, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, India, Japan, and Southeast Asia, and as the Holden Viva in Australia and New Zealand. This broad range of branding reflects the global reach of the Lacetti model under various GM subsidiaries.
