The '''Chevrolet Tavera''' is a [[compact MPV]] produced in [[Indonesia]] by Japanese automaker [[Isuzu Motors]] and in [[India]] by American automaker [[General Motors]] sold in [[ASEAN]] and [[India]]n markets. It uses the platform of the [[Isuzu Panther]], a [[Diesel engine|diesel]]-powered multi-purpose vehicle sold in Indonesia. In other markets it is known as the Isuzu AUV, HiLander or Crosswind.
The '''Chevrolet Tacuma''' or '''Rezzo''' is a [[Mini MPV]] produced by South Korean [[GM Daewoo]] since 2000.  It was designed by [[Pininfarina]] and is based on the [[Daewoo Nubira]], a [[compact car]].


In India, this MUV's main competition includes such vehicles like the  [[Toyota Innova]], [[Mahindra Bolero]], [[Tata Sumo]], and similar vehicles.  Unlike some MUVs like the Fusion (which is based on the [[Ford Fiesta]] and also sold in [[Europe]]), this MUV is based on a [[pickup truck]], in this case an Isuzu model.
Following the phasing out of Daewoo as a brand in most export markets, the car was rebadged as '''[[Chevrolet]]''', retaining either model name depending on the market. Additionally, the '''Chevrolet Vivant''' nameplate was introduced for the [[South Africa]]n and [[South America]]n markets.


[[Isuzu]] designed the original Tavera, known as the ''Panther''. [[Chevrolet]]'s version is a consumer-grade version of the Panther, which is more designed for businesses.
== Engines ==
The Tacuma comes with 1.6 L [[GM Family 1 engine#D-TEC|Family 1]] or 2.0 L [[GM Family II engine#D-TEC/E-TEC|Family II]] [[straight-4]] engines. It is available with a five-speed [[manual transmission]] or a four-speed [[automatic transmission|automatic]]. Standard Tacumas have a [[seating capacity]] of five, but a seven-seater version was also introduced for the South Korean market. Maximum luggage capacity of the Tacuma is 1425&nbsp;L.


Recently, because of Chevrolet's marketing of their Indian lineup as "an Indian revolution" (similar to their [[USA|US]] marketing campaign), the Tavera is now sold as two models. The original Tavera is still being sold; however more upmarket models in India are now sold as the "Tavera Neo 2".
In [[Korea]], it is called Rezzo. It comes with 2.0 L [[GM Family II engine#D-TEC/E-TEC|Family II]] [[straight-4]] engines and 2.0L E-TEC SOHC [[LPG]]([[Liquefied petroleum gas]]) engines. Very few models are sold with a gasoline engine, because gasoline is very expensive in [[Korea]]. Therefore most Rezzo's come fitted with an LPG powered engine.  


In September the [[India]]n Tavera got a [[face-lift]]. The facelift included the front grille and revised interiors.

In [[India]] there are 2 versions of the Tavera, the original Tavera, the base model which includes the B1 and B2 trims, and the Tavera neo 2(this version was called simply Tavera neo before the Indian Tavera facelift, and before that Tavera Elite), the normal version which includes the LS-B3, the LS-B4, the LT-L and the high-end SS-D1.

The Chevrolet Tacuma or Rezzo is a Mini MPV produced by South Korean GM Daewoo since 2000. It was designed by Pininfarina and is based on the Daewoo Nubira, a compact car.

Following the phasing out of Daewoo as a brand in most export markets, the car was rebadged as Chevrolet, retaining either model name depending on the market. Additionally, the Chevrolet Vivant nameplate was introduced for the South African and South American markets.

Engines

The Tacuma comes with 1.6 L Family 1 or 2.0 L Family II straight-4 engines. It is available with a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic. Standard Tacumas have a seating capacity of five, but a seven-seater version was also introduced for the South Korean market. Maximum luggage capacity of the Tacuma is 1425 L.

In Korea, it is called Rezzo. It comes with 2.0 L Family II straight-4 engines and 2.0L E-TEC SOHC LPG(Liquefied petroleum gas) engines. Very few models are sold with a gasoline engine, because gasoline is very expensive in Korea. Therefore most Rezzo's come fitted with an LPG powered engine.
