Daewoo Matiz. Technical characteristics and design

The perfect modern machine for urban mobility is Daewoo Matiz. The technical characteristics of this car, its body dimensions and saloon parameters are a real find for those who are daily forced to stand in traffic jams, as well as for people who have difficulties during parking. Now we will take a closer look at all these parameters and study the advantages of this machine.

Beginning of model history

In the city of Geneva in 1998 for the first time a machine was shown called Daewoo Matiz. The technical characteristics of the so-called concept were not thoroughly worked out, therefore they worked for several years over the car, and by 2002 it had already acquired such parameters that are most often met today. At that time, the exterior and interior design were formed, and also equipped with the necessary electronics and hydraulics.

Under the hood of Daewoo Matiz

Technical characteristics of the machine will be described from the engine. Its volume is 1 liter, the number of cylinders is 4. The wheelbase of the car is 4x2, the layout is front-engine, and, accordingly, front-wheel drive. According to its type, this Daewoo model belongs to the A-segment, but most often it is classified as an ordinary city car.
It should be noted that gradually, over the years, the dynamic performance of this machine has been improved. Now you can install there both a mechanical and an automatic gearbox. Well, the fuel tank is configured so that the leakage of fuel from it is almost unreal. Also, gasoline, thanks to a special security system, can not catch fire in an unforeseen situation.

Salon of Daewoo Matiz

The technical characteristics of this model auto and the parameters of its interior and body fully correspond to each other. Above the exterior of the car worked well-known studio Italdesign, which also engaged in the production of many other famous machines. The car doors are equipped with additional power beams, which provide additional protection for impacts, and also prevent the jamming of mechanisms. Similarly, the roof of the car is strengthened, which to a large extent protects all passengers and the driver from blows that may occur due to an accident. Despite the fact that this mini-car is very spacious in its interior. The seats can easily accommodate five adults. The luggage space is 165 liters. If desired, it is possible to fold the rear seats, and the space for the load to be carried is significantly increased.

Design and other car features

Since the release of the basic model, the auto specifications of Daewoo Matiz have not changed significantly. The only thing that now it comes in a different configuration: the engine can have a volume of 0.8 liters or 1 liter. But the appearance was repeatedly subjected to metamorphosis. The car's headlights were altered, and if earlier the rear dimensions had the names "Red Evil Eyes", now they are more like the headlights of Hyundai Getz.

Exploitation of Daewoo Matiz

The car perfectly overcomes any road obstacles that can meet in the city. However, to go on a picnic, where you have to slip along the sand and dirt, and also to test its possibilities in steep canyons is not recommended.
