Along with other models, a small car is produced in Uzbekistan Daewoo Matiz, the technical characteristics of which make it possible to significantly outperform competitors in its class. The history of the model closely intersects with Chevrolet, since it was this brand, at a certain period of its existence known as the Chevrolet Spark, that had low fuel consumption and similar characteristics. The undoubted advantage of the Matiz is a high-spirited and energetic engine, as well as a pleasant external shape. Due to its capabilities on city streets, this model has become popular among transport companies for short distance transportation and delivery services. The car's ground clearance is 160 mm, which allows it to freely overcome both off-road and speed bumps. From the end of the last century, cars began to be equipped with an automatic transmission. The fuel consumption of the car is a positive aspect.
Completion and convenience
Considering daewoo salon Matiz, it can be concluded that appearances are deceiving. Inside, it is spacious for both a medium-sized person and tall people. The seat travel is wide and easy to adjust. Power steering and central locking leave a good impression. The front panel is made of plastic, but the cheapness of the material is striking. This is compensated by the ergonomic arrangement of the keys and the main instruments, which can be used to determine the main technical characteristics of the model. The automatic, installed in some models, makes driving easier.
During the cooler season, the driver will be able to use heating rear window and air conditioning. The volume of the trunk is 480 liters. The increase in volume is achieved by folding the rear row of seats. This allows you to carry several large items in one trip. Above, in some configurations, there are special brackets with which it is possible to transport heavy loads. Maximum weight a car with a load is 1260 kg (without a load - 885).
In general, there is a good impression about the car, the cost of which is complete set can be classified as acceptable and accessible to any segment of the population. Musical accompaniment is expressed by an audio system consisting of a CD-radio and several speakers. There is a wide range of different configurations, the technical characteristics of each of which are slightly different.
As for the external restyling, here you involuntarily pay attention to cast light-alloy wheels, as well as exquisite foglights, implemented along with a bumper in body color.
Engine
The car engine is reliable and quiet. On russian market you can purchase a model with a petrol injector F8CV 2V MPI with a volume of 0.8 liters and a capacity of 52 horsepower... Its fuel consumption is about 7.4 liters per hundred, and maximum speed with full load it reaches 144 km / h. For a small car, this is a fairly high figure. The engine has three cylinders and is equipped with an improved fuel injection distribution system, which allows it to quickly reach speeds of up to 60-70 km / h.
There is also a one-liter four-cylinder unit. This is a SOHC 2V MPI petrol injector with a power rating of 64 horses and a fuel consumption of up to 7.7 liters per 100 km. The maximum speed reaches 160 km / h. Based on the results of test drives, we can conclude that the permeability on slopes increases significantly in comparison with 0.8 liters. The engine runs quite quietly, so the noise in the cabin appears only at 120-130 km / h. In addition, it should be noted that low ground clearance will not cause problems for the unit, since a special protective sheet is installed on the pallet. The maximum torque is about 5400 rpm. Unfortunately, there was no tachometer on the front panel, so we can assume that gear changes are made every 1000-1500 revolutions.
For a long time of operation, the engine has shown the stability of its work. The adjustments made by the developers have paid off. In the middle of the last decade, motors have become more environmentally friendly and quieter in operation. Of course, Daewoo Matiz cannot be compared with more expensive cars on the track, but thanks to the high-spirited engine, it shows itself perfectly in city traffic jams.
If you pay attention to engine compartment in general, the accessibility and convenient location of each node is striking. Replacing any element, loosening bolts or screws is not difficult. The operation of the engine is more stable and durable if there is an automatic machine.
Transmission
Daewoo Matiz can be equipped with one of two gearboxes:
- five-speed mechanics;
- four-speed automatic.
Unfortunately, since 2008, the production of a car with an automated transmission has ceased, so that there is no competition between Daewoo and Chevrolet. Still, a certain number of models are on the road with this modification. As for the five-speed mechanics, shifting is convenient and simple.
Problems can only be caused by switching on reverse gear, during which a sound characteristic of the products of the domestic auto industry is heard. Unfortunately, the developers have not yet managed to cope with this defect. The rest of the mechanics leaves only pleasant impressions. The design is made in such a way that no oil leakage is possible. Fuel consumption in this case does not depend at all on the features. Specifications Daewoo Matiz mechanics maintain the optimal gear ratio.
The automatic model is represented by the E3CVT variator, which is known for its convenient and smooth operation... Thanks to him, the management becomes more secure. Parking also has its advantages. First, the lock locks the wheel, and hand brake two more. As a result, we get three locked wheels, which will provide the car with immobility at any slope. Secondly, optimal performance ensures that the entire process is environmentally friendly. Thirdly, the undoubted advantage is the absence of the need to change gears, as well as smooth movement when changing the gear ratio.
As a rule, an automatic machine and a mechanic do not require repairs soon after purchase. The oil seals can only be replaced after six years of active vehicle operation. As a result, we obtain high technical characteristics, both in the case of mechanics and the variator, as well as fuel consumption at the proper level.
Suspension and braking system
The technical characteristics are significantly improved thanks to the well-designed suspension. Its front part is independent, there are telescopic shock-absorbing struts, as well as coil springs. A dependent segment with hydraulic shock absorbers is located at the rear. During test drives, it was revealed that the suspension is of medium stiffness and does not make itself felt when passing through deep holes or speed bumps.
The braking system is represented by hydraulics. There is a vacuum amplifier and two circuits. The front brakes are transverse caliper discs, and the rear ones are a drum system. Due to this ratio, the braking quality of the Daewoo Matiz is at a high level. The maneuverability of the car at low speeds is confident and stable. 160 mm ground clearance allows you to ignore minor irregularities in the road.
This design will be especially convenient for cars with an automatic transmission.
Safety
The safety of Daewoo Matiz is represented not only by the appropriate set of pillows, but also by the anti-lock brakes system. According to research results, this indicator has always received only high points. There is an immobilizer inside, which will not allow unauthorized turning on of the engine, and a central locking system. It is also possible to purchase an alarm system.
Daewoo Matiz can rightfully be considered a successful creation of several companies. Versatility, fuel consumption, engine and an intuitive automatic transmission as a transmission allows you to put the car in the first place among budget cars. Middle clearance and off-road driving will leave a pleasant impression, and the technical characteristics will satisfy all desires while driving on city streets.

Little Matiz with a big history
This car did not break any stereotypes and did not become a star of car dealerships, and it does not need it. He has the main thing - the love of the public and vast experience of promotion on the market. Matiz appeared on the ruins of the Tiko model, a clone of the Japanese Alto. It was Tiko who began to conquer the post-Soviet space. The model was moderately modern, because in Japan it was discontinued only in the 88th.
Koreans powdered their nose for the outdated Alto and threw Tiko into our market. it was positioned as the most spacious model of a particularly small class. The car had a three-cylinder engine still of Japanese design with 42 forces. After revision, the car received an injector and an increase in power by 10 forces.
The Daewoo Matiz was designed in Italy by the design bureau Giorgetto Giugiaro. Quite frankly, the design was intended for the next generation Fiat Cinquecento, but the Italians changed their plans for a new body and sold it to the Koreans. Despite this, all subsequent generations of Daewoo Matiz have been updated by the Italians. Cute and good-natured appearance little Matiz immediately won over the whole of Europe, and we got Matiz collected in Uzbekistan, although latest models come to us from Korea.
Engines and transmissions Daewoo Matiz
Initially, the car was driven by a three-liter 800-cc engine, which is still installed on the most inexpensive modifications. Since 2003, a new liter four-cylinder engine has been developed. The Korean motor develops 66 forces, the Uzbek - 64, with an absolutely identical design. Where the two horsepower went is a mystery. In addition to the standard gearbox with five gears, a version with an automatic became available not so long ago - a real female car.
The car, of course, does not break records for fuel economy, but the average consumption of a liter engine is 6.4 liters per hundred. This is about 5 liters on the highway and 7 liters in the city. This is despite the fact that on a good road you can not really control the speed. This indicator remains relevant at a speed of about 110 km / h. True, getting to the three-digit mark on the speedometer is not so easy, especially on the machine. Actually, you don't have to want Mustang dynamics from a miniature little car. Everyone is happy with everything.
The hostesses calmly and in any weather get from supermarkets and kindergartens, for this you do not need crazy speeds and powdered rubber. The technical characteristics of the Daewoo Matiz suggest just a comfortable and unhurried urban use.
Daewoo Matiz, price
Car prices jump for several reasons - different factories and different configurations. The basic version of Universal, despite currency surges and volatility of the exchange rate, continues to hold within $ 7 thousand. This package includes an 800cc engine, 5-speed manual transmission, and luxury dealers will only offer a radio and two speakers. In fact, a bare package. if we compare with the Chinese, then the Matiz QQ clone from Chery for this money will also have airbags, adjustment of the right mirror, but the game is not worth the candle, because the Koreans are of better quality and more durable by default, even performed by UzDau.
About 70 thousand will have to pay extra for air conditioning and power steering, this will already be the Best equipment, which also includes roof rails and alloy wheels. The most luxurious version of the car, Exclusive, will cost about 800 thousand. Here is the complete set:
- air conditioning;
- auto refrigerator;
- power windows;
- fog lights;
- parktronic;
- a radio tape recorder with a full range of functions;
- electric sunroof and powered mirrors.
At the same time, for additional money they can offer a factory alarm and a multi-key. In a word, Daewoo Matiz can offer a decent option for any wallet.
Daewoo Matiz, renovation
In operation, Daewoo Matiz is not too demanding, if you do not neglect the factory service regulations, then you will have to look under the hood quite infrequently. The car handles well at medium speeds, fits well into turns, without unnecessary and frightening rolls, as on the QQ, and the suspension gently fulfills most of the bumps in the city. It is better to be careful on the tass, since the motor runs quietly, and there is no tachometer on the panel. Especially in trim levels with air conditioning, beginners may have problems identifying speeds on a manual transmission. Also, many note that cars with air conditioning, with its active use, seriously lose power.
There are no problems with components and spare parts, and any piece of iron is freely available at any service station. With the exception of iron for the new third-generation restyled models, but this, apparently, is a temporary phenomenon. The car perfectly took root in the country of hopeless sedans and made its way both to the hearts of lady drivers, so more and more Daewoo Matiz is used as the second car in the family. Buying a Korean pop-eye is definitely a profitable and practical investment of available funds.
Daewoo Matiz - miniature five-door hatchback, developed and manufactured by the General Motors division (Daewoo), as well as other auto plants under license. The first Matiz rolled off the assembly line in 1997. The car came to replace the obsolete daewoo models Tico, produced from 1991 to 1997 based on the 1988 Suzuki Alto model year... The exterior of the car, developed by Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro, turned out to be so successful that Daewoo Matiz became the best-selling model from the Daewoo line in Europe. In total, three generations of Matiz were released.
