Along with other models, a small car is also produced in Uzbekistan Daewoo Matiz, the technical characteristics of which allow it to significantly outperform competitors in its class. The history of the model closely intersects with Chevrolet, since this particular brand, at a certain period of its existence, was known as Chevrolet Spark, had low fuel consumption and similar characteristics. The undoubted advantage of the Matiz is its high-spirited and energetic engine, as well as its pleasant external contours. Thanks 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 conditions and speed bumps. Since the end of the last century, cars began to be equipped with an automatic transmission. Positive aspect becomes the car's fuel consumption.
Equipment and convenience
If we consider Daewoo salon Matiz, then we can conclude that appearances are deceptive. The interior is spacious for both medium-sized people and tall people. The seat travel is wide and easy to adjust. The power steering and central locking leave a pleasant impression. The front panel is made of plastic, but the cheapness of the material involuntarily catches your eye. This is compensated by the ergonomic arrangement of keys and main instruments, from which the main technical characteristics of the model can be determined. An automatic transmission installed in some models makes driving easier.
In cool seasons, the driver will be able to use the heated rear window and air conditioning. The trunk volume is 480 liters. Increase in volume is achieved by folding back row seats. This allows you to carry several large items in one trip. On top, in some configurations, there are special brackets with which transportation is possible. heavy load. Maximum weight machine with cargo is 1260 kg (without cargo - 885).
In general, one gets a pleasant impression of the car, the cost of which is fully equipped can be considered acceptable and accessible to any segment of the population. Musical accompaniment is provided by an audio system consisting of a CD radio and several speakers. Available wide range various configurations, the technical characteristics of each are slightly different.
As for the external restyling, here you involuntarily pay attention to the cast alloy wheels, as well as sophisticated 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 gasoline injector F8CV 2V MPI volume 0.8 liters and a power of 52 horsepower. Its fuel consumption is about 7.4 liters per hundred, and maximum speed with a full load it reaches 144 km/h. This is enough for small cars high rate. The engine has three cylinders and is equipped with an improved fuel injection distribution system, which allows you to quickly reach speeds of up to 60-70 km/h.
There is also a one-liter unit with four cylinders. This is a SOHC 2V MPI gasoline injector with a power rating of 64 horsepower and 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 cross-country ability on slopes increases significantly compared to 0.8 liters. The engine runs quite quietly, so noise appears in the cabin 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 is no tachometer on the front panel, so we can assume that gear shifts occur every 1000-1500 revolutions.
Behind for a long time During operation, the engine showed stable operation. The adjustments made by the developers have borne fruit. In the middle of the last decade, motors became more environmentally friendly and quieter in operation. Of course, with more expensive cars On the highway, the Daewoo Matiz cannot be compared, but thanks to its fast engine, it performs well in city traffic jams.
If you pay attention to engine compartment in general, what is striking is the accessibility and convenient location of each node. Replacing any element or unscrewing bolts or screws is not difficult. Engine operation is more stable and durable if there is an automatic transmission.
Transmission
Daewoo Matiz can be equipped with one of two gearboxes:
- five-speed manual;
- four-speed automatic.
Unfortunately, since 2008, they stopped producing cars with an automated transmission, so that there would be no competition between Daewoo and Chevrolet. But still, a certain number of models are on the roads with this modification. As for the five-speed manual transmission, switching here is convenient and simple.
Problems can only be caused by turning on reverse gear, during which a product characteristic sound is heard domestic auto industry sound. Unfortunately, the developers have not yet managed to cope with this shortcoming. Otherwise, the mechanics leave only pleasant impressions. The design is made in such a way that oil leakage is impossible. Fuel consumption in 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 uninterrupted operation. Thanks to it, control becomes safer. Parking also has its advantages. Firstly, the lock locks the wheel, and hand brake two more. As a result, we get three locked wheels, which will ensure the car remains stationary on any slope. Secondly, optimal operation ensures that the entire process is environmentally friendly. Thirdly, an undoubted advantage is the absence of the need to change gears, as well as smooth movement when changing gear ratios.
As a rule, automatic and manual transmissions do not require repairs shortly after purchase. Oil seals can only be replaced after six years of active use of the vehicle. As a result, we get high technical characteristics, both in the case of mechanics and a variator, as well as fuel consumption at the proper level.
Suspension and braking system
Technical characteristics are significantly improved thanks to a well-developed suspension. Its front part is independent, there are telescopic shock absorber struts, as well as coil springs. At the back there is a dependent segment with hydraulic shock absorbers. During test drives it was revealed that the suspension medium hard and does not make itself felt when passing through deep holes or speed bumps.
The brake system is hydraulic. Available vacuum booster and two circuits. The front brakes are discs with a transverse caliper, and the rear brakes are a drum system. Due to this ratio, the braking quality of Daewoo Matiz is at high level. The maneuverability of the car at low speeds is confident and stable. Ground clearance of 160 mm allows you to ignore minor road irregularities.
This design will be especially convenient for cars with an automatic transmission.
Safety
The safety of the Daewoo Matiz is represented not only by an appropriate set of airbags, but also by an anti-lock brake system. According to research results, this indicator always received only high scores. Inside there is an immobilizer that will prevent unauthorized starting of the engine, and central locking. 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 intuitive automatic transmission allow us to put the car in first place among budget cars. Average clearance and off-road driving will leave a pleasant impression, and the technical characteristics will satisfy all desires while driving on city streets.
A budget-friendly traffic jam buster and a classic handbag on wheels that looks great in bright colors, with a design from Giugiaro himself and sane technical characteristics. This happens, moreover, this is one of the most popular cars Megacities, Korean bestseller Daewoo Matiz.
Little Matiz with a big history
This car didn’t break any stereotypes and didn’t become a star at car shows, and it doesn’t need to. He has the main thing - the love of the public and vast experience in promoting in the market. Matiz appeared on the ruins of the Tico model, a clone of the Japanese Alto. It was Tico who began to conquer the post-Soviet space. The model was moderately modern, because in Japan it was discontinued only in 1988.
The Koreans powdered the nose of the outdated Alto and threw Tico into our market. it was positioned as the most spacious model of a particularly small class. The car had a three-cylinder engine of Japanese design with 42 horsepower. After modification, the car received an injector and an increase in power by 10 horsepower.
The design of Daewoo Matiz was developed in Italy by the design bureau of Giorgetto Giugiaro. Frankly speaking, the design was intended for the new generation of Fiat Cinquicento, but the Italians changed plans for the new body and sold it to the Koreans. Despite this, all subsequent generation Daewoo Matiz have been updated by the Italians. The cute and good-natured appearance of the little Matiz immediately endeared him to the whole of Europe, and we got Matizs assembled in Uzbekistan, although latest models come to us from Korea.
Engines and transmission Daewoo Matiz
Initially, the car was driven by a three-liter 800 cc engine, which is still installed on the most inexpensive modifications. Already in 2003, a new liter four cylinder engine. The Korean engine develops 66 forces, the Uzbek one - 64, with an absolutely identical design. Where the two horsepower went is a mystery. In addition to the standard five-speed gearbox, an automatic version has recently become available - a real women's car.
The car, of course, doesn’t break any fuel economy records, but average consumption 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’t 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 with an automatic transmission. Actually, you don’t want Mustang dynamics from a miniature car. Everyone is happy with everything.
Housewives can easily and in any weather get from supermarkets and kindergartens; they don’t need to do this. crazy speeds and powdered rubber. Specifications Daewoo Matiz They suggest comfortable and leisurely urban use.
Daewoo Matiz, price
Car prices fluctuate for several reasons - different factories and different configurations. Basic version Universal, despite currency fluctuations and exchange rate instability, continues to stay within $7 thousand. This configuration includes an 800 cc engine, a 5-speed manual transmission, and dealers will only offer a radio and two speakers as luxury items. In fact, a bare package. if compared with the Chinese, then the Matiz QQ clone from Chery for the same money will have airbags and adjustable right mirror, but the game is not worth the candle, because the Koreans are by default of better quality and more durable, even those made by UzDaewoo.
About 70 thousand will have to be paid extra for air conditioning and power steering; this will already be the Best package, 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 conditioner;
- car refrigerator;
- electric windows;
- fog lights;
- parking sensors;
- radio with full set functions;
- power sunroof and power mirrors.
At the same time, for additional money they can offer a factory alarm and multi-key. In short, Daewoo Matiz can offer a decent option for any budget.
Daewoo Matiz, repair
IN operation of Daewoo Matiz is not too demanding; if you don’t neglect the factory maintenance regulations, you won’t have to look under the hood very often. The car handles well at medium speeds, corners well, without unnecessary and scary rolls, like on the QQ, and the suspension gently handles most bumps in the city. It is better to be careful at the taxi station, since the motor is quiet and there is no tachometer on the panel. Especially in models with air conditioning, beginners may have problems identifying speeds on a manual transmission. Also, many note that cars with air conditioning, when actively used, seriously lose power.
There are no problems with components and spare parts and any piece of hardware is freely available at any service station. With the exception of hardware for the new third-generation restyled models, but this, apparently, is a temporary phenomenon. The car has taken root well in the country of hopeless sedans and has made its way into the hearts of lady drivers, so Daewoo Matiz is increasingly used as a second car in the family. Buying a Korean pop-eye is certainly a profitable and practical investment of available funds.
Daewoo Matiz - miniature five-door hatchback, developed and produced by the division General Motors(Daewoo), as well as other car factories under license. The first Matiz cars rolled off the assembly line in 1997. The car came to replace an outdated one Daewoo models Tico, produced from 1991 to 1997 based on Suzuki Alto 1988 model year. The exterior of the car, designed by Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro, turned out to be so successful that the Daewoo Matiz became the best-selling model from the Daewoo line in Europe. In total, three generations of Matiz were produced.
History of creation
The exterior and interior of the Matiz were designed by the famous Italian design company ItalDesign-Giugiaro S.p.A. Subsequently, she carried out two updates to the minicar. The forerunner of the Daewoo Matiz was the Fiat Lucciola concept car, shown by ItalDesign at the Geneva Motor Show. A two-door car with open top was originally proposed Fiat company for a revival, but the car's design was rejected by the Italians. A similar situation happened quite often with Giorgetto Giugiaro's cars, and he subsequently sold his designs to Korean and Chinese companies. In the case of the Fiat Lucciola concept car, the buyer turned out to be Daewoo company, the car went into production as the Korean compact Daewoo Matiz. Assembly of the Matiz began at the end of 1997 at a plant in Korea. Polish plant Daewoo-FSO started working in 1998. Also, since 1998, Matiz began to be assembled in India and Romania. Upgraded version Since 2000, Matiz (modification M150) began to be produced under license and from Korean components in Uzbekistan at the UzDaewoo plant. In 2003, a more dynamic version of the Daewoo Matiz appeared with a new 1.0 engine, and in addition to “mechanics,” they began to install “automatic” and stepless variator. To Russia a car with a liter engine and with automatic transmission began to be supplied in 2005. Its maximum speed is 143 km/h. To comply with Euro-3 standards, the injector was modified at the end of 2008.Technical features
Initially under the spectacular Daewoo body Matiz hid the components and parts of its predecessor - Daewoo Tico. Engine, transmission and suspension components Matiz modifications M100 (produced until 2001) was inherited from Tico. Under the small hood, a 0.8-liter three-cylinder engine and a manual gearbox were installed. The engine has been modified English company Tickford. The British replaced carburetor system power supply, thereby increasing the power of the unit from 42 to 51 hp. and “fitting” the motor into the frame environmental standard Euro-2. Starting from 2008, Daewoo Matiz with liter engine and an automatic transmission, so as not to create unnecessary competition with the new generation model, called the Chevrolet Spark. The Matiz has independent spring suspension (McPherson) in the front and dependent spring suspension in the rear. According to the owners' reviews, it is very comfortable, but mainly on good roads. If you miss a small hole or drive on a broken surface, the suspension will work until the bump stop. The low ground clearance of 155 mm imposes restrictions on travel in winter and on bad roads. Having a length of less than 3.5 meters and a 1.0-liter engine, Daewoo Matiz was included in the program Moscow government to support small cars in the capital. The owners of such cars were given free of charge when registering them for the first time. fuel card for 26,000 rubles. Present on the Russian market Chinese clone Daewoo Matiz with electric drive. The electric car, called E-Car GD04B, has successfully passed all the tests necessary to go on sale and received certification. This is the cheapest electric car on the market. Its batteries are located under back seat, under the hood and in the trunk, and the electric motor is located on the rear axle, respectively, the drive is on rear axle. The range on fully charged batteries is 150 km, the maximum speed is 60 km/h.Safety
The simplicity of the design and low price affected the safety of the Matiz. According to the results of crash tests of the EuroNCAP association in 2000, the Daewoo Matiz scored only three “stars” out of a possible five. The security weaknesses of this model include the lack rear head restraints, and limited opportunities securing child seats. Matiz cars sold in Russia (manufactured in Uzbekistan) have a serious safety gap: they are not equipped with airbags.Pros and cons in comparison with classmates
Nominally Daewoo competitors Matiz is all minicars from the “junior” class A. In this class there is a large choice - Fiat 500, Suzuki Splash, Kia Picanto, Peugeot 107 (aka Citroen C1), but all of them are much more expensive than Matiz. In terms of price, direct competition is with such models as Chery QQ and Geely LC, VAZ-1111 Oka and related Chevrolet model Spark.Main Daewoo disadvantage Matiz in comparison with its competitors - rather poor equipment and lack additional options. Buyers receive a car with minimum set: air conditioning, power steering, radio and electric windows. The Matiz does not have any additional “bells and whistles” in the form of heated seats, adjustable steering column, or heated mirrors, even for an additional fee. Daewoo Matiz is an exclusively city car. Narrow tires, small width and high height make the car not very stable on the track. Vertical fit convenient in the city short runs, and on long hauls the driver and passenger quickly get tired - their back and legs become numb. True, this is a drawback not of a specific car, but of the entire small class as a whole. Plus, the Matiz’s small power supply will not allow you to quickly accelerate to overtake on the highway. Among weak points Matiz electricians can cancel the generator, which has a tendency to often fail. The problem with this unit is especially its design. In almost 90% of cases, the breakdown of the Matiz generator is associated with burnout diode bridge due to its poor contact.Numbers and awards
In 2000 Daewoo Matiz received the honorary title “Best compact car on secondary market» according to the automobile publishing house Auto Express. According to the magazine Top Gear, Daewoo Matiz is the most best car in terms of price/quality ratio, and car show BBC2 Top Gear named the Matiz the best compact car. Car thieves have little interest in Matizs. For example, in 2012 in Moscow, 31 owners lost their Daewoo minicars. The same number of Lexuses GS300 or Audi A6 were stolen last year. Thanks to the competitively low price, Matiz is the leader in sales in the minicar class in Russia from year to year. Before the crisis year of 2008, they remained at a level above 40 thousand cars per year: in 2007 they sold 42,258 cars, in 2008 - 44,696. In the post-crisis year of 2009, there was a failure - 23,181 cars. In 2011 and 2012, sales increased, but did not reach pre-crisis levels: 38,211 and 33,198 Matiz, respectively.First models Daewoo company were licensed, for example, Tico, which is nothing more than a Japanese Suzuki Alto. The production of Tico was launched in 1988, and ten years later it gave way to a no longer licensed model - the Daewoo Matiz. The name of the model translated from Spanish sounds like “shade” or “nuance”. At the end of 1997, production began in South Korea, and in 1998 the cars were also assembled at the Polish enterprise Daewoo - FSO. In 2000, small cars began to be assembled in Uzbekistan.
External review of Daewoo Matiz
Above appearance The small car, as well as the exterior, was worked on by the design studio ItalDesign. Even in the modern Fiat 500 you can see the similarities with the Korean, so that the design of Matiz is quite European. The small car was produced in only one body type - a hatchback, the body is quite narrow and the roof is high, but these are the solutions that work for internal space. In 2000, the car received a modernization; the updated Daewoo can be recognized by the “slot” under the hood. The wheels are quite small and narrow, even more powerful modification wears tires with dimensions 155/65/R13, and smaller ones powerful version Tires with a width of 145 and a profile of 70 are installed.
Salon and equipment Matiz
This may seem surprising, but while driving, even a person 185 cm tall will not rest his head on the ceiling and will not support the steering wheel with his knees. But the driver and front passenger can rest their shoulders against each other, and there will be little space left behind the tall driver in the back. 
Very unusual, but even in maximum configuration Electric adjustment is provided only for the right mirror, and the driver's side mirror is manually adjusted, the adjustment lever itself is built into the upholstery door card, because the mirrors are moved back quite a lot. Creates sensations of space Windshield which is moved forward. At the top of the front panel there is a recess along the entire panel; it can be convenient for storing things that you do not want to forget in the car, such as a license or wallet. IN basic configuration Daewoo Matiz is equipped with a simple radio with two speakers, but a radio with four speakers can be installed as an option. central locking and the front electric windows are also additional equipment. Visibility is very good, the windows are large and the glazing line is not high, rear window equipped with heating, which can be useful when moving in reverse in winter, in a cold car. If Matiz is equipped automatic transmission, next to the lever there is a button - Over Drive, which does not allow you to switch to fourth (highest) gear, which can be very useful when climbing uphill with a loaded car. Luggage compartment cannot be called a record - only 155 liters; with the backrests of the rear sofa folded, the volume increases to 480 liters.
Technical part and characteristics of Daewoo Matiz
Daewoo Matiz is equipped with one of two gasoline engines. The first three-cylinder unit with a volume of 0.8 liters produces 52 horsepower, a more powerful four-cylinder engine develops 64 horsepower. Both engines can be combined with a five-speed manual and a four-speed automatic. besides automatic transmission OverDrive mode has mode “2” and “L”. In the first mode, the car will drive only in first and second gears, without switching to third, and in the second, only first gear will be engaged - this can be useful when driving in mud, when the car can get stuck, or when very heavily loaded. Steering wheel makes 3.2 turns from lock to lock, and hydraulic booster is offered as an option. When you press the gas pedal sharply, the automatic machine thinks for a second or two, but Matiz doesn’t racing car. It is worth noting that the automatic appeared in 2005, so if you are looking at a car with an automatic, it will not be older than 2005.
With a manual transmission and especially a liter unit, acceleration is much more confident, and short gears contribute to rapid acceleration.
