Body dimensions are one of the most important parameters when choosing a car. The larger the car, the more difficult it is to operate in a modern city, but also safer.
Technical indicators
The overall dimensions of the Daewoo Matiz are determined in three dimensions: body length, body width and body height. As a rule, the length is measured from the most prominent position of the front bumper to the farthest point. rear bumper... The width of the body is measured at the widest point: as a rule, this is either wheel arches, or B-pillars. But with the height, not everything is so simple: it is measured from the ground to the roof of the car; the height of the rails is not included in the total body height. Overall dimensions of Daewoo Matiz are from 3495 × 1495 × 1485 to 3497 × 1495 × 1485 mm, and weight is from 770 to 926 kg.

The brisk "Daewoo Matiz" has long earned the title of a popular and indispensable car in urban traffic jams and tight parking lots. The only problem is the choice of rubber suitable for the "Daewoo Matiz". In addition to the fact that the assortment presented in stores is not as wide as for 15- or 17-inch counterparts, it is also difficult to choose the right size. There are several suitable options. This article will tell you what size of tires and wheels for Daewoo Matiz is better to choose and what experienced drivers advise to wear shoes.
The manufacturer has set the main standard tire sizes for Daewoo Matiz: 155/65 / R13 and 145/70 / R13.
According to the accepted designation system of technical indices, the first number is the width of the tire at the point of contact with the roadway, that is, the distance between the outer edges of the tire in an inflated state. The second digit indicates the ratio of the tire's cross-section to the width, expressed as a percentage. That is, 65% of 155 mm or 70% of 145. This indicator in both sizes differs literally by a couple of millimeters and is about 101 mm. The letter R indicates that the arrangement of the cord is radial, as in most modern cars... And finally, the last number defines the radius of the inner circle of the wheel. Everyone has permissible sizes The tire for Daewoo Matiz is 13 inches (or 33 cm).
Which tires are best for winter and which ones in summer
Owners of "Daewoo Matiz" tires of size 145/70 / R13 recommend installing in winter. Such tires, in comparison with their wider counterparts, in the studded version will brake better and more confidently "get out" from the melted snow mush. And due to the fact that they are narrower, and the profile is higher, the pressure on the spikes will be greater. This will allow them to better bump into snow or soft ice on the road. Manufacturers say that there are no recommendations regarding the choice of size for winter tires on the Daewoo Matiz, both tire sizes can be used regardless of the season and vehicle configuration.
The use of tires of standard sizes guarantees the absence of problems with both the handling of the car and the warranty service, since it is not uncommon for Daewoo Matiz owners to be denied a warranty extension due to the use of atypical tire sizes.
What other tire sizes do Daewoo Matiz owners set?
Tires of the recommended UZ-Daewoo size, although they guarantee comfort and safety, are not so often found on the open market. In addition, the cost of such wheels is sometimes comparable to the price of their more serious 15-inch siblings. Owners of small cars have long since solved this problem and found suitable wheels empirically.
The most common and suitable substitute for standard tire sizes for Daewoo Matiz are tires of size 155/70 / R13. They differ from their native "Matiz" only in the height of the profile, but, according to reviews, this does not interfere with safe movement. The wheel touches the wheel arch liner only when the steering wheel is in the extreme position or when in winter snow clogs under the wheel arches. Many owners have never encountered this problem at all, but, on the contrary, they say that the ground clearance increases, and due to this, the car drives softer, the dynamics decreases. This size easily fits on standard Daewoo Matiz disks and rarely arouses suspicion among service center workers, since it is the nominal size for the Daewoo Matiz “twin brother” - Chevrolet Spark.
It is recommended to install tires of size 165/65 / R13 only as a last resort, when it was not possible to purchase products of one of the three above-mentioned sizes. These tires are one centimeter wider than the manufacturer's maximum allowable and much higher. But according to the owners, the friction on the lockers with a full turn of the car is already quite strong, and the rubber on the standard "stamped" disks begins to "eat up" after 15-20 thousand kilometers. Therefore, such rubber requires more expensive "alloy" wheels. It is important to keep in mind that when using tires for Daewoo Matiz of these sizes, an amendment is introduced for the speedometer readings: if the speed sensor shows 100 km / h, the real speed of the car is 102.3 km / h.
When installing tires of even larger sizes on the Daewoo Matiz, difficulties may arise with normal work steering mechanism, as the load on the suspension, engine and brakes car.
Tire sizes allowed for Daewoo Matiz
The main brands of tires for "Daewoo Matiz"
When buying tires from many Daewoo Matiz owners, cost is the main choice parameter. On a small city sedan, it is unlikely that it will be possible to appreciate all the advantages of wheels of premium brands, so you should pay attention to the products of domestic manufacturers or more budget subsidiaries worldwide. famous brands.
Cordiant (Russia)
Excellent value for money and a wide range of models and sizes for all seasons. The cost starts from 1700 rubles. for the tire. According to the owners, very soft, but at the same time strong and wear-resistant tires for "Daewoo Matiz".
Hankook (Korea)
Decent tires for both city and highway. They cost a little more than Cordiant (from 2,000 rubles per cylinder), but according to the owners' estimates, they deserve a solid 5 in handling (+ removed for the fact that tires do not always behave well when driving in a rut, but at the same time it was never noticed side skid) and 5+ for comfort (tires are very soft and almost silent). True, there are practically no tires on sale in the size 145/70 / R13, but 155 tires - both summer and winter - are in a large assortment.
Nokian Nordman (Finland, Russia)
The subsidiary brand of the economy segment of the Finnish concern Nokia N is focused on the Russian market; the plant for the manufacture of these tires using Finnish technologies is located in St. Petersburg. Tires of the size 155/70 / R13, atypical for Daewoo Matiz, are in demand among motorists, as they guarantee 100% controllability in all weather conditions. They confidently overcome deep puddles, and in winter they behave well on the ice surface, keeping the trajectory of movement and preventing slipping. All this, combined with an adequate price (about 2000-2500 rubles per tire), allows motorists to forget about such drawbacks as poor cross-country ability in mud or when falling into a snowdrift and faster wear compared to budget counterparts.
- The tire sizes recommended by the manufacturer must be adhered to when the vehicle is on warranty service.
- According to the Rules of the Road, all four wheels must be of the same size and seasonality (half or one wheel cannot be studded, and the rest must be summer).
- Better to change tires in sets - even wear is safer when driving.
Daewoo Matiz is a city car of the South Korean division of General Motors, developed by Daewoo (it was part of GM). Represents five-door hatchback A-class, which was initially sold in Europe and America under the name Chevrolet Spark.
The first generation car with the factory index M100 was originally intended for Fiat, which ordered a design project for the future car from the Italian studio Giorgetto Giugiaro. However, later the project was rejected, and the rights to it were bought by Daewoo. The result was a car with the M100 body index, which replaced the outdated Daewoo Tico city car. Despite this, Daewoo Matiz borrowed some design elements from Tico. This was a controversial decision, given the fact that Daewoo Tico used components and assemblies from japanese model Suzuki Alto 1982 model. Thus, the Daewoo Matiz, which went on sale in 1997, was already technically outdated. Fortunately, this did not harm the popularity of the car, which sold out very quickly. In this regard, the city car was produced in the same place where it was sold.
Daewoo Matiz Hatchback
In 2000 she made her debut updated version M150, which was produced in Uzbekistan. However, the model was still produced with a 0.8 liter engine. This continued until 2003 - by that time the range had expanded due to liter engine... Later, an even more powerful 1.2-liter version appeared.
The 1997 model had exhausted its life cycle, but it continued to be produced until 2016. Then Daewoo Matiz was renamed to Ravon Matiz, but it was a bad marketing move, which was the reason for the final discontinuation of sales of Daewoo Matiz / Ravon Matiz.
A real old-timer among class A cars, Daewoo Matiz, has established itself as a nimble and unpretentious machine. Despite the fact that the model has been known for more than fifteen years and has undergone two restyling during this time, many motorists cannot get rid of the established stereotypes that a small car is a defective car.
Although, during all this time, Daewoo Matiz still gathered a large army of supporters and admirers. Of course, this recognition did not come by itself and is not a consequence of only small size. Well-coordinated long-term work of designers and designers was able to convince clients of the undeniable advantages of the model. The whole range of Daewoo.
Daewoo Matiz is a car that is often chosen by women as their debut car, mainly in cases where there are not so many funds. A small and nimble car, very comfortable in city traffic, while, if you look at Matiz Deo, you get the feeling that the car is completely toy.
What's surprising is that the inside of the vehicle is quite roomy. It will not be superfluous to add that the Korean has good reviews about reliability and low fuel consumption.
Car history
In the Russian market, the model is evaluated only on the good side, since it has an affordable cost and good specifications... The car is undemanding to operate, economical and convenient, and also knows how to maneuver and park well where it is difficult for standard cars.
The future of Matiz was sold by the famous company Suzuki to Korean workers Alto back in 1982. This model was the forerunner for the release of the Daewoo Tico. The structural component of the car was so successful that Korean specialists decided to save money when assembling a new vehicle, to create a Matiz on the Tiko platform.
Daewoo Matiz 1998
Debut models of Korean origin were released back in 1998. Italian specialists from ItalDesign-Giugiaro worked on the design of the small car. The exterior was planned from the very beginning for the new Fiat, however, as a result, he came to the Daewoo.
After 4 years, the manufacturer decided to improve the car, thanks to which the rear lights were changed along with the headlights, which, as before, had a round shape. On top of that, there were now round and direction indicators.
With a length of just under 3.5 meters, and power unitwith a volume of 1 liter, Matiz was included in the program of the Moscow Government to support small cars in the capital. Those who purchased such cars, during their initial registration, were given free of charge fuel card for 26 thousand rubles.
For a considerable period of time, the car was equipped with a three-cylinder 0.8-liter power unit and a 5-speed manual transmission. In 1999, they began to offer an automatic gearbox, where there was a continuously variable CVT.
In two years vehicle appeared in Uzbekistan, a year later it underwent changes again - a 4-cylinder one-liter power unit was installed.
Exterior
It will not be superfluous to mention that Daewoo Matiz is a work of designers from Italy. A rather big windshield provides good visibility. The car has excellent aerodynamic performance, which is clearly confirmed by its rounded shape. Oval headlights make the Matiz a prettier car.
In addition to this, the car is renowned for its good lighting, which is not so often excellent in this type of car. Front direction indicators are located slightly closer to the center of the car and have a harmonious rounded shape.
The design of the false radiator grille, rear lights and the auxiliary air intake add a stylish and modern look to the Matiz. Since the time that Daewoo Matiz appeared on the Russian automotive market, its design has hardly changed. The feed of the car looks more modern.
The wheels of Matiz are very small, so sometimes you get the feeling that they are "toy". They are made uncommon, but they do not go beyond the appearance, but complement it. It should be recalled that this car was developed for megacities and traffic in a dense urban mode.
The exterior of the Korean vehicle looks a little dated. However, the car can be safely called pretty today. Italian style can be easily traced in the car's streamlined shape, proportional proportions and a variety of color palettes.
Despite some elements of the small car, which are already outdated, its appearance is preserved modern with the help of roof rails, teardrop-shaped headlights, a falling line of the hood, a large windscreen, as well as the general kind expression "muzzles".
Numerous experts consider the exterior of the compact hatchback aimed at the fair sex, which, in principle, is the case, based on consumer demand.
Interior
The interior of Matiz, unfortunately, cannot boast of exquisite luxury and build quality. Everything is done a little ascetic and budgetary. But there are pluses too. The dashboard has acquired electronic backlighting, which allows the driver to easily read the necessary information.
The dashboard got a pretty convenient location. Interestingly, the standard Matiz Best modification is equipped with functions such as:
- Power windows on the front and rear doors;
- Opening option luggage compartment and a gas tank cap from the inside;
- mp3-player with speaker system;
- Luggage compartment lighting;
- Digital Watch;
- Central locking;
- Electrical adjustment right side mirror and other useful options.
It is clear that the material from which the interior was made does not possess highest quality, but this is not the worst plastic among its "classmates". Taking into account the size of the car, one should not demand from it spaciousness and ideal comfort. A large person will not get stuck, of course, but he will not be able to settle down in comfortable conditions.
There is not enough free space for both the front and rear passengers. It is worth considering that the car is mainly designed for female buyers, and they, as is customary, fit comfortably in such cars without any problems. If we talk about the luggage compartment, then there is not so much space in it - 155 liters of usable space.
But again, you should not demand more from him than he can give, because this is a small compact city transport. There is also good news - if necessary, you can fold the rear seats and increase the free space to 480 liters, which is already a lot. Only a couple of passengers can fit on the back "sofa", but the third one will be extremely inconvenient.
It may be a little surprising, but even a driver who is 185 cm tall will not rest his head against the ceiling and will not feel discomfort from the contact of the steering wheel with his knees. However, the driver and the passenger sitting next to each other can touch each other with their shoulders, and behind a rather big driver or passenger, there is even less free space on the back sofa.
It is also unusual that in the most stuffed modification, electric adjustment is provided only for the mirror, which is on the right, when it is adjusted as the one closest to the driver (left) mechanically.
Interior features
A sense of space is created by the front windshield. In standard versions, the car is equipped with a simple radio with a pair of speakers, but for an additional fee, you can order a radio with 4 speakers. Front power windows and central locking can also be ordered for a separate price.
Speaking of visibility, it should be said that it exceeded all expectations. The glazing line is not too high and the rear-mounted glass has a heating function. If you take a car with automatic transmission gears, then the Over Drive button is located near the lever, which does not make it possible to switch the machine to the most high speed when going uphill with a laden car.
On 2015 models, you can see an improved instrument panel arrangement, on which there are 4 deflector windows made in the shape of a circle. The glove compartment looks very roomy and comfortable. A lot of work has also been done on soundproofing in the cabin.
On the Russian market, you can find a Chinese clone of Matiz, which has electric drive... The electric car is called the E-Car GD04B. He was able to successfully pass the tests required for launch on the market and was certified. This vehicle is the most affordable electric vehicle on the market.
Its batteries are located under the rear sofa, under the hood and in the luggage compartment, and electric motor located on the rear axle. It turns out that the Chinese has a rear-wheel drive layout. Fully charged batteries are enough for 150 kilometers, and the top speed is set at 60 kilometers per hour.
The interior looks laconic and pleasant. If you sit in the driver's seat, then you feel pretty comfortable: steering wheel lies well in the hands, and the chair has a high seating position and can change in several positions. Blue backlighting helps to relieve eye fatigue.
The rear window has a wiper and an electric heater. Considering the use of good noise insulation, it is quite quiet inside the small car while driving. Generally speaking, the presence of an uncomplicated design and cheap interior materials for the Daewoo Matiz automatic machine is explained by its cost, which is aimed at increasing the demand for the car.
Despite this, many of the few switch knobs are conveniently located, usable, and not distracting from vehicle control.
Specifications
Power unit
In Daewoo Matiz, a 3-cylinder power unit was used that runs on gasoline and has 0.8 liters of combustion chamber volume and a distributed fuel injection system. Just with the help last car it has a strong engine and low gas mileage.
It has 51 horsepower and reaches the first hundred in 17 seconds, and the top speed is 144 km / h. Exhaust gas recirculation is present, which allows the release of a low level of nitrogen oxide. The engine is not prone to problems, it is reliable, and with good operation it can last for more than one year.
In addition, Matiz was able to prove that it became easier to drive. This car quickly reaches 80 km / h, and the brake system makes it possible to quickly stop the car when emergency braking... Daewoo Matiz fuel consumption is about 6.2 liters per 100 km.
Also, a 4-cylinder 1-liter Daewoo Matiz engine is installed under the hood, which is capable of delivering 63 horsepower. The top speed is 145 km / h, and the car reaches the first hundred kilometers per hour in 15.2 seconds. The fuel consumption is not much higher than that of the three-cylinder engine - 6.4 liters per 100 km.
The Suzuki power unit installed on the new Matiz was decided to be modernized. The British firm Tickford was directly involved in this work. By replacing the carburetor power supply with an injection one, it was possible to increase the power of the 0.8-liter engine to 52 horsepower.
The volume of the gasoline tank is 35 liters. Although the technical equipment is not excellent, but thanks to the front-wheel drive layout, the car feels quite confident.
Transmission
The Daewoo power unit is synchronized with a pair of gearboxes - automatic and mechanical. Sometimes a manual 5-speed gearbox can "think" for a long time or make small jerks, but as usual, the characteristics of Matiz do not cause discontent among car owners.
Quite often, drivers are not satisfied with the transmission performance. You can solve the problem by changing the oil in it. It will be best if you choose synthetic oil, then changing speeds will be easier.
Suspension
The suspension is stiff, and the ground clearance is not very high, which does not contribute to a comfortable ride on bad sections of roads in our country. When driving carefully on a bad road, the walker will require minimal attention. The front mounted suspension is an independent McPherson type.
At the back there is a torsion beam (semi-independent suspension). The handling properties of the system are such that the vehicle is quite capable of digesting cracks and small pits, but massive obstacles can cause difficulties. Despite the rather strong suspension, you should be more careful about the holes in which the small car wheel can get completely.
Steering
The turning circle is 9 meters. Basic models does not have a hydraulic power steering, so you have to pay extra to install it. Although, driving the car is not so difficult without the power steering. Steering type: pinion-rack.
Brake system
Disc brakes are installed on the front wheels, and drum devices on the rear wheels.
Overall dimensions
The car is actually small in length - 3 497 mm. Body overhangs are minimal, which makes it easy and comfortable to maneuver on city roads. The Daewoo Matiz is 1,495 mm wide, with a wheelbase of 2,340 mm.
It is also interesting that the track of the wheels installed in front is 2.5 cm wider than the track of the rear ones. The car weighs 770 kg, and the gross weight does not exceed 1 210 kg.
Safety
The body was designed to achieve minimal crumple zones in a collision. This is achieved thanks to roof reinforcement and door-mounted load-bearing beams that prevent the door from jamming and provide passengers with improved side impact protection.
If the car rolls over, the fuel tank developed using a special technology will prevent fuel leakage and further ignition. For active safety in the car, there are 7-inch vacuum brake boosters, a 4-channel ABS system and a pair of airbags.
Pretty simple construction and the low cost could not but affect the safety of the compact hatchback. Based on the results of EuroNCAP crash tests in 2000, the small car has only 3 stars out of 5 possible.
Among the security weaknesses this car - lack of rear head restraints and limited functionality of installing child seats. It is very unpleasant, but those Matizes that are sold on the territory Russian Federationdo not have airbags.

Supplies
Daewoo Matiz delivered to Russia are assembled in Uzbekistan. A feature of cars assembled at an enterprise in this country is the absence of airbags in the configuration, which certainly affects the safety of this car. In addition, since 2008, Matiz equipped with automatic transmissions have not been sold in Russia.
In 2000, the model was able to receive a worthy title of "Best compact car on secondary market"According to the Auto Express edition.
Based on the version of the famous Top Gear magazine, the compact hatchback is an ideal car in terms of price / quality ratio, and the BBC2 Auto Show Top Gear decided to call the Daewoo Matiz the best compact vehicle.
Among the hijackers small car is not a priority target. So, for example, in 2012 in Moscow, only 31 owners lost a car in this way.
With the help of a competitive low cost, our guest manages to lead from year to year in sales in the class of small cars in the Russian Federation.
Options and prices
So how much is Matiz worth? Two options are coming to the automotive market of the Russian Federation - this is the Standard version with a three-cylinder power unit designed for 51 horsepower and the Best, which already comes with a four-cylinder 63 horsepower engine.
The Standard variation is considered the simplest and most affordable - it is estimated at 299,000 rubles in 2015. In this case, 3 modifications are available - "Lite", "Basic" and "Lux".

The Daewoo Matiz car was produced by Daewoo Motors in 1996. The prototype was manufactured in the UK and was first presented to the public at Frankfurt Motor Show... It took 29 months and $ 180 million to create the first Matiz model car. The body design was developed by the Italian studio ItalDesign Giugiaro S.p.A.
The design was originally intended for a different vehicle, but Fiat dropped the project. Every detail of the car was developed by a partner firm of the concern in different parts of the world, thanks to which the quality of the car was appreciated by both experts and drivers.
At the end of 1997 in mass production the first Daewoo Matiz cars were delivered. The cars were first manufactured in Korea, and after 1998 in Romania and India. 1999 was marked by the issuance of a license polish plant Daewoo-FSO. The car had a 0.8 liter engine. and 52 liters. with., thanks to which it quickly gained popularity among motorists and became one of the best-selling cars of the concern.
In 2000, a modification of the M150 was released, which underwent restyling and began to be assembled in Uzbekistan. After Daewoo Motors went bankrupt in 2001 and was sold to General Motors, most of the cars received the Chevrolet nameplate. In 2003, the car was transformed and it got a 1 liter engine and an automatic transmission.
Second generation
Since 2005, cars have been produced around the world new modification - M200. General Motors decides to produce cars for by Chevrolet Spark, but retains the familiar name for the countries of Eastern Europe, Korea and Russia. In 2007, Daewoo Matiz vehicles were equipped with equipment that meets the Euro-3 standard. The eco-friendly engine has a longer service life.
In 2009, a car began to be produced under the M300 modification. Externally, the car did not differ much from its predecessors, but the interior became more comfortable and practical. The car has undergone significant design changes in 2011. The headlights have been significantly increased in size and rear dimensions acquired a more strict form. Also, the bumper has undergone changes, which has now become more practical and durable. The modification is issued under the name Daewoo Matiz Creative.
"Daewoo Matiz" technical characteristics
The technical characteristics of the model have changed slightly throughout the entire production period. Over the years, one of the significant changes has been the increase in engine displacement and its compliance environmental standard Euro-3.
