The model is suitable for families who prefer compact size with comfortable accommodation, typical for large cars.

The designers took the previous model Nubira J100, modernized it, and entrusted the design to the Italian masters Pininfarina. The result is a streamlined, slender silhouette, not quite familiar to minivans, with a more rational layout of the interior space.

"Chevrolet Rezzo": reviews

Many car owners note that Rezzo in the city and on the highway are like two completely different cars. On the highway, the car seems to float. Within 90-120 km / h, drivers note a smooth comfortable ride. The wheels securely hold the snow-covered track. Turns pass confidently. You can even practice some elements of drifting on a minivan.

The automatic transmission algorithm is not very conveniently configured for the city. When starting from a traffic light, the engine spins up sluggishly at first, then there is a sharp burst of power. It is also difficult to achieve a measured predictable ride. "Chevrolet Rezzo" goes either too calmly, or fast enough. A manual transmission has no such disadvantages.
