The geometric dimensions of the car skeleton are needed to facilitate restoration work. However, this useful information may also be needed by owners interested in car upgrades. Consider below the body dimensions of the Daewoo Nexia, popular in Russia, and their meaning.
A little about the car
ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also did not believe until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!
Daewoo Nexia was developed, as you know, by the German carmaker Opel. Subsequently, the production patent was taken over by the Korean Daewoo, which undertook a radical modernization of the car based on the Opel Cadet 1984-1991. release.
Nexia debuted in 1992. Available in Asia as a 3/5 door hatchback and sedan.
First generation Nexia is produced. In Asia, it is marketed under the Deu Riser brand.
The first generation Nexia in the broadest sense of the word is a sedan, sold in 2 basic trim levels.
- The basic equipment of the GL car differs in many respects from the extended one.In particular, there are practically no additional devices for increasing comfort.
- The extended equipment is equipped with already branded wheel covers, athermal glass, improved seats, air conditioning and much more.
In 2002, Daewoo Nexia is undergoing restyling. As you know, this sedan was also produced on the territory of the former CIS. The plant in Uzbekistan, after restyling, began to produce a car in a body that received many changes. Nexia was also equipped with a new power plant.
Another restyling takes place in 2008, when the front and rear bumpers, optics and a little salon interior were updated.
Some power plants that did not meet Euro-3 standards were discontinued. They were replaced with more modern engines with a capacity of 89-109 liters. from. Of the positive features of restyling, one can also highlight the installation of shockproof beams in the door.
In 2015, a cardinal restyling of the model was outlined. Now this is a second generation Nexia, already clearly built on the basis of purely budgetary tasks.
Dimensions Daewoo Nexia
The Nexia model under the code N150 is considered popular in Russia today. It is a 4-door sedan equipped with an 8/16 valve powerplant. Five people easily find a place inside the car.
Nexia is equipped with a 5-speed manual gearbox, front-wheel drive and rack and pinion control system.
The length of the Nexia's body is 448 cm, width and height - 166 cm and 139 cm, respectively.
More details on the dimensions of the body can be found in the table below.

Sources where information about the dimensions of the Daewoo Nexia skeleton comes from
Initially, the geometry data of the Nexia are given in the factory repair manual. This document should contain information describing the process of replacing body components, a drawing of their sections, control measurements, dimensions, and much more.
Here, in the factory manual, the points of application of ShVI insulation and anticorrosive coatings, materials more suitable for this, the best areas for cutting parts, decoding of designations and much more are indicated.
The second source from where the owners of Daewoo Nexia take information is the Internet. In various sites, schemes are presented containing the geometry of the Nexia automobile skeleton, factory manuals, geometric parameters, and so on. In most cases, detailed information about all control sizes is paid.
Who needs information about body dimensions
So, the body dimensions of the car will be very necessary for the owners of this car in the process of daily operation. For example, if you need to transport something in the trunk, the owner must know not only the permissible body weight, but also the size of the door openings and the cargo compartment, the dimensions of the passenger compartment and trunk.
Knowledge of geometry will also help those owners who do not hesitate to self-align certain areas of the body. It is especially justified to carry out self-restoration on inexpensive machines, which is what Nexia is.
Note. Without knowledge of geometry, it is impossible to competently replace the deformed components of the car frame. Information is extremely important when carrying out anticorrosive treatment and applying ShVI.
Knowledge of the geometric dimensions of the car frame is also important for service station workers. As a rule, not all workshops have high-quality information about the dimensions of a particular body. In turn, the lack of information can lead to a poor-quality recovery process.
And finally, knowledge of the real dimensions of the car skeleton will be useful to those who want to buy this car on the secondary market. Today, there are many cases of fraud in the used market. The body, badly damaged in the accident, is masked using a set of cosmetic repair procedures. Then the car is put up for sale, and only a knowledgeable person can recognize the deception by measuring the openings between the pillars, etc.
Maintenance and repair
Daewoo Nexia, as a rule, begins to "get sick" with the arrival of winter. At this time, malfunctions of the fuel pump are observed, condensation forms in the MAP sensor, and the catalyst is destroyed. All this leads to deterioration of the engine factory, the appearance of soot from the muffler and the like.
As for the body itself and its components:
- There is no lateral support on the seats, which leads to their loosening over time;
- The huge trunk of 530 liters, which is too tough for the Nexia, affects the convenience of the rear passengers. For this reason, many owners decide to remodel;
- Weak shock absorbers, especially on a Nexia, operated periodically with 3 or more riders.
In general, shock absorbers for Nexia are a sore subject. Factory models remain operational only for the first 20 thousand km. And that's not all: during this period they work as half-worn mechanisms, "letting through" the unevenness of the road, respectively, getting to other body elements.
The Nexia body itself is good in that it is protected from corrosion by applying phosphate. The manufacturer guarantees that it will withstand 3-4 Russian winters without any problems, but, still, there is a standard risk group:
- Rear wheel arches;
- Door sills;
- Glass frames.
It is noteworthy that on some components of the body, rust appears immediately after the above period, on others it is not detected for quite a long time.
The above directly hints at the use of regular anticorrosive treatment during vehicle operation. Without this, there can be no guarantee of any kind.
Here are some good examples:
- It will be topical to protect the rapidly depersonalizing body number and the number of the power plant, marked on the cylinder head;
- It is also necessary to protect the mechanisms of door locks;
- The side window openings are equally susceptible to corrosion.
The fact that the body of this car needs to be inspected carefully when buying is beyond any doubt of any expert. And the good news is that color has a lot to do with the life of the body. Are you surprised? A real life example is given below.
Nexia with a size of assembly in 1997 with a mileage of 46 thousand kilometers in white metallic, operated every day of the year. Additional anticorrosive treatment was not carried out. The body looks good overall, but small spots of corrosion are visible in the gutter areas and under the glass seals.
In general, the score is 3. Other specimens, on the body of which anticorrosive treatment and other protective measures are not carried out, would have turned into junk long ago after daily use.
Enamel "metallic" better than other car paints withstands salt and other harmful solutions. This does not mean at all that the use of protective wax and anticorrosive treatment should be neglected.
Of course, a full knowledge of the dimensions of the Daewoo Nexia skeleton will be of great help in solving the problems described above.
Interesting video about car body repair
Based on the above, we conclude that the Daewoo Nexia can hardly be called a reliable car. On the other hand, although problems arise more often, their restoration will not require large financial costs. At prices, spare parts for Daewoo cost almost the same as parts for domestic models.
We can also say that purchasing a used Nexia is tantamount to playing the lottery. Some owners get a car, which he periodically has to carry to a service station, while others get a car that needs only routine maintenance.
You can get more detailed information from the video and photos. We also recommend using the instructions and recommendations of other articles on our site.
Dimensions Daewoo Gentra correspond to the dimensions of the car “C” class. A fairly decent wheelbase length provides room in the cabin, especially at the rear, which rivals in this price category cannot boast of. In principle, the dimensions of the body of the Daewoo Gentra are identical to those of the Chevrolet Lacetti, which is not surprising.
Daewoo Gentra length is 4515 mm, the wheelbase that determines the space in the cabin (distance between the axles) is 2600 mm. The size of the luggage compartment by today's standards is not large, only 405 liters, but it should be borne in mind that under the floor of the Gentra's boot there is an additional compartment to accommodate a full-size spare wheel. By the way, the rear seats fold down easily and the loading space increases to 1225 liters.
The height of the family sedan according to passport data is 1445 mm. The track of the rear and front wheels is exactly the same and has a length of 1480 mm. The question that worries many buyers in our country is ground clearance or vehicle clearance. Ground clearance Daewoo Gentra is 150 mm. However, it should be borne in mind that the clearance may not coincide with these data. Let's say you put tires on the car with a larger or smaller profile than the manufacturer recommends. Over time, the springs of the car sag and the clearance becomes smaller. It is logical that the clearance of an empty and loaded vehicle has different indicators. In principle, the Daewoo Gentra's ground clearance is not very large, but not the smallest in its class.
Daewoo Gentra dimensions, trunk volume, weight
- Length - 4515 mm
- Width - 1725 mm
- Height - 1445 mm
- Curb weight - 1245 kg
- Gross weight - 1660 kg
- Base, distance between front and rear axle - 2600 mm
- Front / rear wheel track - 1480/1480 mm
- The minimum trunk volume of Daewoo Gentra is 405 liters
- Trunk volume with rear seats folded - 1225 liters
- Fuel tank capacity - 60 liters
- Tire size - 195 \\ 55 R15 / 6.0J
- Ground clearance or clearance of Daewoo Gentra - 150 mm
The interior of the car is very ergonomic. Spacious for both the driver and front passenger and passengers in the back row of seats. The most interesting thing is that some cars in the higher class have not much more rear space than in the Gentra. The only negative is the ceiling above the driver, which, due to the installation of a sunroof, has become slightly lower. But the sunroof is not installed in all trim levels, but seat height adjustment at all. To solve the problem of flow, which may not seem very good (for tall drivers), you can adjust the driver's seat.
Summing up, the following Daewoo Gentra can be noted, this is a full-fledged spacious sedan for the whole family. Spacious interior and large trunk. Yes, even if the car is not very modern, but all the shortcomings are compensated by the low price.
Dimensions Daewoo Nexia
Daewoo nexia n100 
Daewoo nexia n150 Daewoo nexia is a middle-class car, which was developed by Opel, and was improved already in Uzbekistan. Over the past year, it has gone through more than one modernization, therefore it has two generations. The daewoo plant has already produced 500,000 units, which confirms the popularity of the model. But no matter how beautiful a car is, every owner should know everything about it. This is the only way to monitor, care for and extend its service life.
Why do you need car dimensions?
The dimensions of the car are an equally important criterion for its selection. Someone prefers a small and cozy salon, while others prefer a massive one. Choosing from two car brands, sizes are also compared. Due to this indicator, the space in the cabin and the trunk also depends, everyone knows perfectly well that the tightness in these places can negate all the advantages of the nexia, even if the car won by other criteria. Therefore, before buying, you should familiarize yourself with these technical characteristics. Sometimes dimensions are also important for placing a car in a garage, which can be quite small.
Another reason why dimensions may be required is if the car will be used for regular transportation of bulky goods. So everyone will determine what can be placed in the trunk and whether it will have to unfold. The same information may be required by tinsmiths, in the process of body restoration, you can find everything about daewoo nexia on our project.
Dimensions depending on body options
The body is presented in sedan, hatchback and station wagon versions, all indicators depend on these criteria. So the width indicators for all body options are the same and correspond to 1662 mm. A completely different situation is shown by the length, the maximum option for the station wagon is 4804 mm, the remaining options assume a length of 4731 mm.
The height of the daewoo nexia directly depends on the size of the chassis parts - the height of the sedan body varies between 1420-1460 mm, the hatchback body - 1429-1459 mm, the station wagon body - 1441-1471 mm. The indicators of the latter option depend on the presence of a roof side rail, which adds another 40 mm. The wheelbase is identical in all variants and is 2754 millimeters. These dimensions are an excellent option for a car of an increased middle class. This cabin is the largest and can accommodate five passengers. Even when positioned in the rear seats, there is no feeling of fear of space.
The dimensions of the car allow you to go on a long journey, taking with you not only hand luggage, because the volume of the luggage compartment allows you to do this. According to the established VDA regulations, the boot volume is 500 liters, assuming a spare wheel. The version of the daewoo nexia station wagon is more voluminous, because it already holds 540 liters. If, in a model with a hatchback body, the rear seats are folded, then the capacity immediately rises by 1370 liters, the space is filled up to the roof itself. The sedan is even more roomy with such actions and will add up to 1700 liters. The wheel size for each type of car is 185/60 / R14, it is not so difficult to find such tires.
The clearance indicator is an important parameter that is worth paying attention to, because it demonstrates the stability of the car on the road, as well as its throughput. The higher the number, the more roads you have at your disposal. In other words, it is much easier to overcome pits, curbs and other roughness of the road, of which we have plenty. Low clearance is typical of racing cars, but do not forget about the smoothness of the road surface. The clearance of this car model is 158 millimeters, which is very good for city trips.
The front track width is 1400 millimeters, which means that the stability of the car at sharp turns is stable. On steep slopes, the car will not roll over. As a rule, the rear and front tracks are different, due to which the power consumption of the motor is increased. The rear track of the daewoo nexia is 1406 millimeters. Now, knowing all the nuances about the dimensions of the car body, you should familiarize yourself with them in advance in order to understand what to expect from them and how to prepare for the purchase.
In this article, we will talk about such a thing as disadvantages of Matiz... Any phenomenon has positive and negative sides. Let's be objective, and despite the commitment to the brand, we will discuss the shortcomings of Matiz.
The disadvantages of Matiz are the continuation of his merits. The compact body, so comfortable in urban cramped conditions, requires reckoning in the form of a cramped trunk and small wheels, and an economical engine is inferior in power to three-liter "monsters". Finally, you won't be able to run around the cabin and load half a ton of potatoes into the car either - the class of the car imposes certain restrictions.
However, let's list and discuss in order disadvantages of Matiz.
1. Cramped trunk. The trunk volume of the Matiz is only 155 liters, which is much less than most passenger cars. It's hard to imagine a smaller trunk, except that Smart can argue. However, the small volume of the Matiz trunk is a very relative drawback. Matiz is a city car, and here the question of why it was purchased is already pertinent. For trips around the city, visits to a supermarket or a gym, workers and guest trips for two or three, the volume is perfectly enough for all personal belongings and reasonable luggage. Yes, and for a country trip for a couple of days with a tent, a supply of food, barbecue and barbecue, one and a half hundred liters is quite enough. Of course, the volume of the Matiz's trunk is not enough for industrial cargo transportation, but for the urban and suburban needs of a family of 3-4 people, this volume is quite sufficient. Finally, lovers of transportation of bulky goods are advised to read how to fold the rear seats of the Matiz and think about the roof rack. (Or about buying a Gazelle). From personal experience, the author can recall a trip on the Matiz from St. Petersburg to Kaluga, four of us and with a lot of luggage - including a supply of food and water, an eight-liter bucket of kebabs, clothes and a dachshund dog to boot. Four people and a dog made this trip without much inconvenience.
2. Weak battery.
(product_snapshot: id \u003d 601)
A full-size battery was sacrificed for the compactness of the Matiz, so under the hood is a "compromise option" inherited from Tico and Alto. The standard battery for Daewoo Matiz has a capacity of only 35 Ampere \\ hours, which is, of course, not enough. If you forget to turn off the light and leave the car for an hour, it will most likely sit down. However, for normal use this capacity is enough, even frosts of -10 and even -15 degrees are not difficult, the engine starts up quite calmly both in winter and in damp weather, but frosts below -20 can become a problem. Installing a battery with a capacity of not 35, but 40 Ah, like the one on the right, will help to correct the situation. Also, the battery for Matiz is a rather rare position, it is better to look for it immediately in specialized stores (well, or in our online store - note from the sales department :-).
3. Rare tires... You need to look for rubber on Matiz either in special stores or via the Internet - you cannot find the coveted 155/65 R13 in supermarkets and on sales. That is why many people use an excellent option 155/70 R13 - but for the specifics of choosing tires for Matiz, read the article "Wheels and tires for Daewoo Matiz". The small size of the tires is not a disadvantage - Matiz is not a jeep after all, but for urban irregularities it has a normal tire size.
4. Disrespect on the road... Due to the low driving culture in our country, many narrow-minded (and fortunately few) drivers believe that Matiz can be cut, squeezed and disrespected in every possible way. A good answer for such comrades is parking in front of their eyes in any gap, "grabbing" from the intersection ahead of heavy jeeps and minibuses, and bypassing traffic jams along narrow roadsides.
On this actually disadvantages of Matiz and end (according to the author's operating experience).
Did you find any mentions here about cabin size, engine thrust, build quality? The answer is simple - Matiz is all right with that. Read about it in the article "Daewoo Matiz Advantages".
Daewoo Nexia is a compact car developed in 1995. It is a four-door sedan and a three- and five-door hatchback. The car is based on the platform of the once popular Opel Kadett E model, which was produced in the period 1984-1991.The car was produced mainly in Uzbekistan, until the end of production in 2016. In 2016, the second generation Nexia debuted, which is a copy of the previous generation Chevrolet Aveo, and structurally has nothing to do with the original Nexia.
The first Nexia proved to be overwhelmingly popular, despite its outdated design from the 1980s. More than 500 thousand copies of Nexia were produced by 2016. In South Korea, the model was sold until 1997. In Vietnam and Egypt, the car lasted until 2002 and 2008, respectively. In Romania, Nexia was sold from 1996 to 2007. Most of the time (until 2008) the car was offered in two trim levels - GL and GLE. The latest version also has the designation "Lux". In the extended version, the car has an improved design, including the presence of athermal glass, painted bumpers and door handles in body color, air conditioning and power steering. The base engine was a 1.5-liter internal combustion engine with a capacity of 75 liters. with., familiar from the Opel Kadett. In 2002, its capacity was increased to 85 liters. from.

Daewoo Nexia Sedan
In 2008, a major restyling took place, thanks to which the Nexia held out on the assembly line for another eight years. The car received a completely new interior, as well as a modified body design at the front and rear. The most powerful engine was the 109-horsepower 1.6 unit, familiar from the Chevrolet Lacetti. Nexia also received an 85-horsepower engine from the Chevrolet Lanos.
