Daewoo Tacuma (00-05) - Review

Review by Parkers on
Tacuma is Daewoo’s Picasso, Scenic and Zafira rival in the compact MPV sector and it’s cheaper than all of them. Modern styling is one of the high points, as is the spacious interior. All models are surprisingly rapid - but it’s not much fun to drive and the slack gearchange could be improved.

Emissions summary

Tacuma is quite a polluting model. With an average of 227 g/km CO2 across the model line-up, its emissions are a little high for a people carrier. It's worth noting that the line-up does not feature any diesel models, which typically produce less carbon dioxide than petrol engines with similar power outputs. The range is not very frugal, averaging 32 mpg.
