Daewoo Matiz car was released 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.

By automotive standard Daewoo Matiz ( Ravon Matiz) is a long-liver - in South Korea the serial production of the car began back in 1998 and continues to this day.

Traditionally for budget cars it is sold in fixed configurations - depending on the set of equipment, the buyer chooses the option that best meets his requirements. However, this approach has one significant drawback - it is not possible to order any additional equipment.

The car was originally produced at the Daewoo Motors plant in South Korea. However, as its popularity grew, the production of cars began to be organized at the company's factories around the world - in Poland, Romania, India, China and Uzbekistan.

The above-mentioned factories did not have a unified policy in relation to complete sets, so depending on the country of production different manufacturers offered their options for a set of equipment for Daewoo Matiz.

Today, the most common are machines made in Uzbekistan, where the production of the machine began in 2001 and continues to this day.

Engines and transmissions

Daewoo Matiz is completed exclusively gasoline engines... Their volumes are 0.8 l or 1.0 l.

The younger engine is a three-cylinder, develops 52 horsepower with a torque of 62 Nm.

The older engine has 64 horsepower and 87 Nm of torque in its arsenal.

They are aggregated with a five-speed "mechanics". Also, any engine option is offered with a four-speed "automatic".

Interior and exterior

Initially, Daewoo Matiz was offered only in three trim levels - Best, Exclusive and Universal. However, with the growing demand for a car, the manufacturer decided to expand their number.

The car is offered in nine fixed trim levels. Of these, six options are for the younger motor, and three for the older one.

The basic version of Daewoo Matiz is called the M19 Lite. It provides for the following equipment: electric headlight range control, special blocking rear doors, protecting from their opening by children, a rear-view mirror in the cabin, equipped with an anti-reflective coating, a rear seat with a folding system, audio preparation and an electric heated rear window. The car seats are decorated with the simplest Lite fabric.

Daewoo Matiz M19 Lite

The next option - M19, is distinguished by the presence of a car radio produced by Clarion, the presence of two audio speakers, an antenna on the roof, a rear wiper and improved seat trim - their upholstery is made of Standard fabric.

In addition, the manufacturer provides for the M19 / 81 equipment, which differs from the previous one only in that the bumpers are painted in body color.

M22 and M22 / 81 configurations differ from previous versions the presence of an air conditioner. Their fundamental difference lies in the use of body-colored bumpers in the second configuration.

The most advanced are the M18, M16 and M30 variants. They are available both with a 0.8-liter engine and with an older 1.0-liter engine.

These options include central locking, a clock in the cabin, a car radio with four columns, athermal glass, hydraulic power steering, and power windows in the front doors.

Externally, cars with such a set of equipment differ slightly more. In the most advanced version - M30, Daewoo Matiz is equipped with alloy wheels, and in the other two steel wheels are installed, equipped with decorative caps. In addition, all three trim levels are equipped with side mirrors with repeaters of turns, and in M30 - arches on the roof.

Some Daewoo dealers use different names for Matiz trim levels.

In particular, some sellers offer the vehicle in four trim levels: Low Cost, STD, DLX, Best. The first four options assume the installation of a 0.8-liter engine, and Best - exclusively a four-liter liter. In the Low Cost and STD trim levels, there is no hydraulic power steering, front power windows, wheel covers, and a remote trunk opening system from the car. Bumpers in such variants are not painted in body color, and in Low Cost there is no air conditioning and heating for the rear window.

Another variation of equipment sets and finishes is indicated by the Low Cost indices, M, M81, MX, MX A / C, MX A / C LD.

In addition, Korean-made cars are very rare on the secondary market. Their classification is completely different. In South Korea, the car was produced in the DLX, DLX K, DLX Luxe trim levels. Unlike cars produced in Uzbekistan, a richer choice of equipment was offered for them and a special factory plastic body kit could be installed, which gave the car a sportiness, velor upholstery, an electric drive for the mirror located on the right, noise insulation for the hood and a spoiler for the rear door.

Due to the confusion with configurations when purchasing a Daewoo Matiz, it is advisable to study the set of additional equipment offered to the car. At the same time, one should pay attention to the fact that the complete sets of cars with the same name can be very different from each other.

Today we will talk about such an important issue as equipment Matiz- what they are in general, what the basic Matiz configuration includes and how to choose the one that suits you.

The Daewoo Matiz family has only one body, in which any Matiz configuration is performed. It would seem - not enough ... But for a city car of class "A" more is not needed, because it has its own niche and its own tasks, especially since the choice of trim levels based on this body is quite wide. Add here a wide range of bright and cheerful colors, the choice of power units and you will see that there is plenty to choose from among the Matiz! So let's start in order.

Options Daewoo Matiz - types and features.

DaewooMatiz equipmentLowCost

This is the "stock" Matiz equipment, which became the manufacturer's response to the global financial crisis. The general idea of \u200b\u200bthis configuration can be described in simple words: "Keeping security and dynamism, but throwing away everything we can do without." Every conceivable little thing has been sacrificed for a price reduction, including a clock, a rear wiper, remote opening of the trunk and fuel filler flap, headlight range control and even spare wheel with a set of driver tools. Of course, this Matiz package also has nothing to do with music. There is no radio tape recorder, no radio receiver, no preliminary audio preparation. However, it should be noted that nothing really important to safety equipmentLowCost did not rule out - we still see in it an additional brake light, inertial seat belts, shock-resistant beams in the side doors and front seats with head restraints. As with all Daewoo Matiz, the rear seats in this configuration fold down. There is no question of saving on the basic systems of the car - this position of the manufacturer is worthy of respect.

LowCost Matiz Usually purchased by organizations for courier trips around the city or delivery of small orders like pizza. The savings are obvious, and the driver is not entitled to music at work - so for such purposes it is perfect car... But for a "beloved one", the Low Cost package is extremely rare - you still want a certain level of comfort even in this inexpensive car like Matiz. Novice drivers usually work well ...

DaewooMatiz equipmentSTD

it basic equipment Matizperfect for novice drivers or practical owners who value the simplicity and integrity of the family budget. Unpainted plastic bumpers, all drives (mirrors, power windows) are mechanical. Music is represented by two speakers and a CD / MP3 car radio (until 2009, a digital radio was supplied with the STD package) - what else do you need to be happy? The package includes a full-size "spare wheel" and a set of tools, and the headlight range control and rear wiper will provide comfort even in the city, even on the highway. In this configuration, the Matiz gas tank can already be opened from the elephant, but the trunk is not yet. The owner of such a complete set Matiz should wear a watch on his wrist - they are not included here, as well as power steering (power steering). Like Low Cost, the STD package contains inexpensive Korean Kumho 145 / 70R13 tires - a good option for its price.

Daewoo Matiz includedSTD will be a good choice for a beginner: low prices combined with good comfort and dynamics, plus bumpers that do not show scratches - is this not the dream of yesterday's driving school graduate? For relatively little money, Daewoo Matiz STD configuration can be supplemented with air conditioning and body-colored bumpers. In our opinion, this is a somewhat dubious decision. Maybe it's better to take a closer look at ...

DaewooMatiz equipmentDX andDLX

The DX package is characterized by the presence of pleasant and useful options for comfort, pleasing the soul, hearing, eyes and other senses and parts of the driver's body for a relatively small surcharge of 30 thousand rubles (in prices of the end of 2009).

In this configuration, all STD options have already been reliably fixed, plus power windows in the front doors, remote trunk opening from the passenger compartment, power steering (power steering), clock on dashboard, central locking. Body-colored bumpers are painted on all DX trims, while the mandatory wheel caps and sun strip on windshield add charm to Matiz. The music pleases with four speakers and the usual Clarion radio tape recorder that reads all current disc formats. But the air conditioner in this configuration is available as an option, for some money.

This package includes quality tires "Continental" 155 / 65R13, which will last a long time and will delight you with excellent grip, even on the highway, even in urban "gaps".

As an option, you can order a complete set DLX ("luxury"), where you can add light-alloy wheels, air conditioning and arches on the roof.

Also, the DLX package will finally delight fans of automatic boxes! It is in the DLX configuration that the Matiz with an automatic gearbox can be purchased, so for those who like two pedals under their feet, the Matiz DX will be an excellent choice. Practice shows that Matiz models DX and DLX are most in demand in car dealerships - the buyer is ready to pay a little on top of the basic configuration for comfort.

All of the above configurations are equipped with engines with a volume of 0.8 liters and a power of 51 hp, accelerating Matiz to 100 km / h and 17 seconds (18.5 - automatic transmission). Not enough drive? It's time to talk about ...

DaewooMatiz equipmentBEST

A liter engine and 63 "horses" under the hood accelerate BEST to "hundred" in 12 seconds. Not a bad indicator for such a kid, right? By appearance BEST equipment is distinguished by silver bumpers and door moldings. Fog lights are included right away, as are power windows and an electrically adjustable right mirror. The interior of the BEST trim level differs from the STD and DX in the door trims and funny seat colors.

But automatic transmission in this configuration is impossible, and this is perhaps the only drawback of the Matiz BEST configuration - all "liter" Matiz are equipped with a manual transmission, the automatic transmission simply cannot be placed in engine compartment together with a large engine.

The BEST grade is the pinnacle of the serial Matiz, for further bells and whistles - this is already, please, to the tuning workshop.

So, Matiz seems to have sorted out the varieties of complete sets - see the detailed summary table of options at the end of the article, but for now read the section ...

Options Matiz - features of choice.

What can you advise on how to choose the Matiz package that suits you? Below are some considerations to help you do this.

Matiz equipmentLowCostwell suited as a city service and courier car in any company and service - high reliability, low fuel consumption, compactness, cheap repair and affordable spare parts make Matiz Low Cost the ideal courier car "for every day." Of course, it is unlikely that it will be possible to carry bulky goods and goods on it, and it is also frivolous to meet foreign partners of a company with luggage on the Matiz at the airport, but it is difficult to think of something better to transport documents, spare parts, correspondence or orders like pizza or sushi around the city ...

Matiz equipmentSTDwill become excellent option for a novice driver. Black bumpers will forgive parking mistakes, and affordable price will allow even a working student to buy a car on credit. But for girls it is difficult to recommend it - although the absence of power steering is not critical, it will still be more convenient for the fair sex to have it.

Matiz equipmentDXperfect for a young family with one or two children, as a daily car in the "home-shop-work" mode or for family trips out of town. High-quality music, handy little things - what else do you need? Also DX is a good platform for easy tuning and self-expression! Put on it fog lights, apply stickers in the form of dots "under the ladybug" or a sticker with Mummy Troll (which is from Tove Janson's book, and not which Lagutenko ... however, in taste and color ...) - and Matiz will become a bright and stylish attribute of an outstanding personality!

Matiz equipmentDLX(luxury)

But the luxury DX Matiz equipment will be a wonderful gift. It is no secret that Matizes are often given to children by parents for the age of majority or in passing an exam at a driving school. Well, for beloved women, of course, Matiz will be just a great gift! In general, popular wisdom says that they do not look a gift horse in the mouth - but do not save on loved ones? Let good equipment always remind you of a good event, and automatic gearbox will make driving convenient and comfortable.

For reference: for 2009 Daewoo Matiz in DLX configuration with automatic transmission is the most affordable car in the Russian car market with an automatic transmission. As it is sung in the song "Think for yourself, decide for yourself!"

Matiz equipmentBESTas a top solution for those who do not save on comfort and love speed. It is BEST that is most often tuned and supplemented attachments - the desire to emphasize their individuality is usually characteristic of the owners of "liter Matiz". In addition, BEST is often bought by men as the main vehicle for commuting. If you often have to move around the city alone and light, if you don't give a damn about the opinion of the snobs in old Mercedes - BEST will be an excellent choice. One familiar architect of the author moves exactly on a liter Matiz with a sticker "Don't kill dolphins!" all over the board. He meets with customers, concludes contracts, discusses projects - and such a car only emphasizes his individuality and creativity.

Daewoo Matiz equipment - choice power unit and checkpoint.

The question is very interesting. For the vast majority of tasks assigned to a city car, the 0.8 liter engine is ideal. Its dynamics are quite enough for dynamic rearrangements in city traffic, confident overtaking and movement with high speed on the road. If you imagine a situation in which 0.8 liters will be clearly not enough - this is if you put a construction team of four large uncles with tools in it, tie a ladder on top of the trunk, turn on the air conditioner and drive all the time uphill. Don't do that kind of thing? Well, take the 0.8 engine and don't rack your brains! Throw in the automatic transmission and you have a great feminine version. Our practice shows that men are more fond of driving a Matiz with a manual gearbox - its dynamics are frankly better. But for convenience and comfort when driving in the city, automatic transmission is an excellent solution.

As we think, it makes sense to take "Liter" only for a family of four and long journeys and of course - for self-expression! It is more dynamic, capable of throwing you out of the intersection much faster than heavy Lexus cars, and it consumes quite a bit more gasoline. True, you have to pay for everything! If you are ready to pay more for comfort and dynamics, do not deny yourself and take a look at the BEST configuration. Also from the obvious advantages liter engine less noise and vibration during operation can be noted - four cylinders make it more stable.

Completion Matiz - general conclusions.

As you can see from the above text, the Matiz family of complete sets cannot be called narrow - on the basis of a single body, you can choose a variety of configurations, among which you can always find your own. In any configuration, Matiz will remain a reliable and unpretentious car with a manufacturer's warranty of two years or 50,000 mileage.

However, not all configurations and not always presented in dealerships. For example, Low Cost is often ordered in a single copy in order to proudly write on the window - “We have Matiz - from 179 thousand!”, And DLX - an automatic machine almost always needs to be ordered. In addition, dealers often supplement cars with equipment that is not provided for by a complete set, carpets and other little things, which together seriously affect the price! So if you want to save money and get exactly what you want, order a specific Matiz configuration from a dealer in advance.

The editorial board of the Mir Matizov magazine wishes you successful shopping!
