 Like other Korean car manufacturers,
Daewoo is bidding to take the world by storm, and India plays a prominent role in the
company's global plans. Daewoo aggressively launched the Cielo in mid-1995 and, despite
initial complaints regarding the car's poor fuel consumption, the car is now a well
accepted member of the mid-size car segment. A new version called the Nexia with an
upgraded engine and other cosmetic changes was launched recently. Value-for-money is this
car's prime virtue, as is the case with most Korean cars. This car comes equipped with a
tachometer, fog lamps, height adjustable driver's seat, power steering/windows, central
locking and a rear screen demister. The Cielo is also available with automotic
transmission in GLE and GLX levels of trim.
