The 2004 Chevrolet Optra, also known as the Daewoo Lacetti in some markets, was a compact sedan produced by General Motors' South Korean subsidiary, Daewoo Motors. Introduced in 2003, the Optra was positioned as a budget-friendly alternative within the compact segment, aiming to attract value-conscious buyers. The car was available in a variety of trim levels, including the base LS, the mid-range LT, and the top-of-the-line LTZ. Powering the Optra was a choice between a 1.6-liter or a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, paired with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. While not known for its performance, the Optra offered a comfortable ride and a spacious cabin for its size, with features like power steering, power windows, and air conditioning being standard on higher trims. The Optra was praised for its fuel efficiency and affordability, making it a popular choice for commuters and first-time car buyers.

The 2004 Optra stood out with its distinct styling, featuring a sleek profile with sharp lines and an aggressive front fascia. The interior, while simple in design, was functional and comfortable, offering adequate legroom and headroom for both front and rear passengers. The Optra was equipped with standard safety features like dual front airbags, anti-lock brakes, and seatbelts with pretensioners, ensuring a decent level of safety for its occupants. Although the Optra wasn't known for its handling prowess, it still offered a comfortable ride and decent stability. It faced competition from other compact sedans like the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and Hyundai Elantra, but the Optra's affordability and practicality made it a compelling option within its segment. Despite its success, production of the Optra was discontinued in 2008, leaving behind a legacy of reliable and affordable transportation.
