Chevrolet Lanos Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2005–2009) — First Generation
When considering a first-generation Chevrolet Lanos sedan, focus on how its transmission suits your driving routine and which equipment you need. On a used example, the car’s condition also deserves close attention.
The 1.5 MT is one Chevrolet Lanos engine and transmission combination, pairing gasoline power with a manual gearbox and front-wheel drive. You select the gears yourself, which gives you control over when to shift but means regular clutch use in stop-start traffic. Engine power goes to the front wheels.
The S and SE Chevrolet Lanos trim levels are equipment configurations available with the 1.5 MT sedan. Choosing between them means looking beyond the engine and gearbox to the features fitted. Check each car’s actual equipment, and test the comfort and convenience features that matter to you.
