The
Matiz
The Daewoo
Matiz started production in 1998. With the
0.8-litre petrol engine, cute looks and compact size
the car became the best selling Daewoo
model in Europe for the next four years.
A new look mk2 matiz
was introduced in South Korea in late 2000, and exported
from 2001. Following Daewoo's takeover by General Motors
in 2002, a 1.0-litre S-Tec engine was added to the range.
Shortly after GM rebranded Daewoo
to Chevrolet theMatiz
received another facelift. The engines were updated
and new cabin features were added, including more storage
space, a coin holder, glasses holder and a coat hook,
over all a fairly disapointing change to what was a
cute popular car, also the new Chevrolet Matiz
did not score well in the EuroNCAP crash test, awarded
three stars with one being struck out, loosing points
due to the lack of a side airbag.
