The beleaguered Korean company 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.
