After GM bought the Korean automaker Daewoo, it rebadged most of its vehicles to increase the brand awareness for Chevrolet, especially in the West-European countries, where it sold the Tacuma minivan under the bow-tie badge.
The car was no longer a new entry since it was initially introduced by Daewoo on the market in 2000. So, apart from the mandatory changes required to comply with the Euro 4 emission standards, it also went through some updates on the aesthetic side. Depending on the country, Chevrolet used the Tacuma or the Rezzo nameplate.
Usually, when a carmaker introduces a mid-life cycle update, it also focuses on exterior details that could tell people that there is a new version. The 2004 Tacuma, on the other hand, was just mildly restyled. For some, it looked like a different trim level of the same car. The most noticeable design element that was changed was the front fascia. There, GM installed the horizontal slat specific to Chevrolet's brand instead of the waterfall-style grille introduced by Daewoo in 2000. In addition, the bumper was modified, and the 2004 model year sported a lower grille with vertical and horizontal slats instead of an empty gap as before.
Depending on trim level and options, customers could have opted for a rear bench or three individual chairs, with the middle one folding flat forward. But there was no leather upholstery or high-quality materials. For the sound system, a dealer-installed CD player became available on the dashboard since the tape players were outdated.
GM also carried over most of Daewoo's engines, so it installed them in the Tacuma's engine bay. As a result, there was no turbo-diesel or automatic transmission on offer. Still, an LPG option was available to cut running costs.
