We never asked much from this car. Nexia was attractive due to its low price and good reliability. It must be said that the first generation of “Ksyusha” (as this car was popularly called) more or less justified the trust placed in it. The car spent its first 100 thousand, as a rule, without special problems. In mid-2008, the plant presented updated model- Nexia N150. Now, almost 3 years later, we decided to summarize all the sores and problem areas updated model...

Engines

Nexia buyers can choose from two engines. The 1.5-liter eight-valve engine (80 hp) is accompanied by a relatively modern 16-valve engine with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 109 hp. Both comply with Euro 3 standards and are not fast. This is especially true for the 1.5-liter unit.

Motors are oil eaters. However, this largely depends on operating conditions and driving style. Consumption of 300 g per thousand km is considered normal for them. Under our operating conditions, it is better not to forget about the oil level in the intervals between scheduled service visits. Speaking of maintenance. In 2010, new regulations were developed Maintenance. Previously, the so-called zero maintenance had to be completed after a thousand kilometers, but now the service interval has increased to two thousand. Scheduled maintenance visits are required to be made at intervals of 10 thousand kilometers or once a year, and not every six months, as was previously the case. Violation of service rules leads to loss of warranty, in fact, like any automaker.

Note that, according to the new regulations, the warranty for Nexia is 3 years or 100 thousand km.

Maintenance is prescribed scrupulously and quite extensively. Thus, TO-3 (20 thousand kilometers) involves changing oil, air and fuel filters, spark plugs. Together with original components, a service visit will cost about 8 thousand rubles. (work - up to 2 thousand rubles, parts - about 6 thousand rubles). A little expensive, of course, but under the hood they will update you with a lot of things.

The timing kit on both engines is changed every 40 thousand kilometers (TO-5). On an eight-valve engine, a tensioner pulley is included with the belt. The timing structure of a 1.6-liter engine with 16 valves is more complex. In addition to the belt, it includes an automatic tensioner roller and a support roller.

The “sweating” of the 1.5-liter engine is the talk of the town! Oil regularly leaks from under the gaskets valve cover and cylinder head. Replacing gaskets helps best case scenario for a couple of thousand km. One way to eliminate oil “excess” is to install a valve cover from Chevrolet Lanos. The other is washing the engine at every service. The procedure will cost 300 rubles, but under the hood it will always be clean.

Transmission

It was on the Nexia in the new body that the clutch for some reason began to look thoughtful. To switch on a particular gear without any problems, you need to wait a 3-second pause. Agree, in city traffic conditions this is not the most pleasant feature.

There was a period when quite a bit of water was poured into the gearbox at the factory. liquid oil. It heated up very quickly, losing viscosity. The first symptom is knocking in the gearbox when the clutch pedal is operated suddenly. Experts recommended not waiting for the second and third symptoms, but simply pouring time-tested semi-synthetics into the box.

Today the plant has corrected itself: they began to pour SAEW80W-90 specification fluid into the gearbox, which in terms of viscosity is more appropriate for operation in summer conditions. In the Vehicle Operating Manual, the manufacturer recommends winter conditions use less viscous oil specification SAEW75W-90.

As for the frequency of oil changes in manual transmissions, it is 120 thousand km. The clutch lasts about 80 thousand km. CV joints run about 50–60 thousand km.

Electrical equipment

At first, the light bulb caused a lot of criticism Check Engine, which suddenly lit up and did not go out, despite any tricks. Let us reassure you right away - as a rule, there is nothing criminal, the reason is a controller glitch. The controller simply “did not see” the position sensor crankshaft engine (error P13360). It could only be cured at the dealer, and often by replacing the controller itself. By the beginning of 2009, the plant had overcome the problem. If you get a Check Engine light today, it's most likely due to low-quality gasoline.

Relays, sensors and other electrical devices are manufactured in various parts of our planet, from Kaluga and Pskov to India. Alas, at first they could not boast of either quality or maintainability. Thus, the instrument cluster, made in India, suffered from “stuck” arrows. A phantom malfunction sometimes appeared on new Nexia, and in a car that has covered more than tens of thousands of kilometers. This did not change the essence of the matter: we had to wait at least two to three months for the “socket”. In 2009, complaints about Indian devices reached a critical mass, and at the urgent request of the manufacturer, the Indians finally got down to business. As a result, by 2010, cases of freezing became rare.

Chassis and body

Ball joints and shock absorbers are not very tolerant of road potholes. Active off-road driving will reduce their service life by almost half - somewhere up to 60 thousand km.

The front brake pads last about 60 thousand km, the discs are replaced every second pad replacement. Rear drum pads last up to 120 thousand km.

Increasingly, specialists at dealership technical centers are paying attention to the deterioration of the quality of the paintwork. Today, cars with shagreen, unpainted, and different colors are the order of the day. But this is a problem not so much for Nexia, but for all automakers in this segment.

But the low quality of sealing the joints of body panels, alas, is a feature of Ksyusha. It happened that in heavy rain Water leaked into the cabin and trunk. The same thing happened with glass seals.

In my opinion...

Editor:

This car is not taken at the behest of the heart; Nexia is often used solely as a means of transportation or delivery. It is clear that the requirements for such a car are purely pragmatic: efficiency, reliability, unpretentiousness. And although at first the N150 model could not boast of much reliability, we should give the plant its due - today “Ksyusha” is confidently on the mend.

In 2008, UZ-Daewoo presented a compact sedan " Daewoo Nexia N150" second generation, which was modernized version four-door original sedan.

The updated version received the internal factory index N150 and changed significantly compared to its predecessor, receiving a redesigned body, interior and new engines in the line of power units.

Serial production of the car was discontinued in August 2016.

Exterior

In terms of design Daewoo Nexia The N150 is very reminiscent of cars from the 90s: the exterior is unassuming and archaic. The front of the model is the most attractive part of the body, and this is mainly due to the aggressive headlights of the Nexia N150 and the new bumper design. From the profile and other angles, there is nothing to praise the car designers for: the silhouette is simple, archaic, with square-rounded rear wheel arches and a large glass area, awkward optics and a bulky rear bumper.

The dimensions of the Nexia N150 fully comply with C-class standards:

• Body length - 4.482 m;
• Height - 1,393 m;
• Width - 1.662 m;
• Wheelbase- 2.52 m;
• Ground clearance - 158 mm.

Interior

The interior of the four-door sedan continues the same appearance trend: decoration internal space the same archaic, combining a modest and informative set of instruments, three-spoke steering wheel, angular design center console with monochrome clock, three controls climate system and a tape recorder. Low-quality finishing materials and poor assembly worsen the interior space, which is why owners often resort to tuning the Nexia N150.

The front seats are equipped with a flat back and an amorphous design with weak lateral support, and there is also minimum set adjustments The rear bench can comfortably accommodate only two people, but even for them, legroom is limited.

Volume luggage compartment"Nexia N150" is 530 liters per basic configuration. Back rear seat does not fold, there is no hatch for transporting long cargo. Full spare wheel And necessary tools are located in an underground niche.

Specifications

Range of power units compact sedan represented by two gasoline engines, paired with a five-speed manual transmission and front-wheel drive:

• Base motor- inline four-cylinder V8 A15SMS with system distributed injection power 80 Horse power and a volume of 1.5 liters. The engine is equipped electronic unit control, eight-valve timing. A car equipped with such an engine accelerates to 100 km/h in 12.5 seconds, maximum speed limited to 175 km/h. Fuel consumption in mixed cycle is 8.1 liters;
• More “charged” versions of the Nexia N150 are equipped four-cylinder engine with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 109 horsepower. The engine is equipped with a sixteen-valve timing system, a multipoint injection system and a DOHC configuration. Acceleration to 100 km/h is carried out in 11 seconds, the maximum speed is 185 km/h. In combined mode, fuel consumption is 8.9 liters.

The second generation of the car is being created on the front-wheel drive T-body platform, which was developed by the concern's engineers General Motors. The engine is located in transverse position and was borrowed from Opel Kadett E. Installed on the front axle shock absorber struts McPherson, on the rear - semi-independent struts with an elastic transverse beam. "Nexia N150" is equipped with rack and pinion steering without power steering as standard (it was installed only on expensive modifications) and a braking system consisting of ventilated disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear. ABS system was not provided in any configuration.

Optics

The design of the headlights consists of two lighting units, one of which is designed for low beam, the second for high beam. The optics are combined into one housing with turn signals and PTF. "Nexia N150" is not equipped with corrugated diffusers. The lenses were made of durable polycarbonate coated special coating, which increased the protection of the headlights from damage.

Innovations

The car manufacturers, in addition to strengthening the engine, making changes to the interior and exterior trim, equipped the Daewoo Nexia N150 with a door, lock and fuel tank control system, powerful air conditioning, an audio system with four speakers and electric windows. The difference between the model is the two-tier car radio, which is also available in top-end configuration. The changes affected wheel disks: The car was equipped with 14-inch wheels.

Nuances of production and assembly

Accessories for "Nexia N150" - bumpers, rims, parts fuel system and others are produced at the UZ-Daewoo automobile plant. Only suspension, engines and transmissions are imported from abroad. Despite the developer's grandiose plans, updated version Nexia are missing innovative technologies: ABS system, automatic transmission and airbags. The refusal of such functions is due to the preservation of the low cost of the car, for which it is valued. As compensation, the manufacturer offers three year warranty on Nexia N150. Each future buyer has the opportunity to tune the car, including replacing the front bumpers, optics, improving the technical component, interior and body design with the Nexia N150.

Electrical faults

The Check Engine light caused a lot of complaints from Nexia N150 owners, who noted its frequent failure, the cause of which was a glitch in the controller that did not recognize the crankshaft position sensor. The problem could only be resolved by contacting official dealer and replacing the controller itself. The problem was fixed by the manufacturer in 2009 and the reason for the release Check lights The engine that fails today is low-quality gasoline.

The UZ-Daewoo auto concern is not involved in the production of electrical appliances: parts are supplied from different countries. Initially they couldn't boast high quality: for example, Indian-made instruments suffered from “freezing” hands, which manifested itself on both new and used models. Complaints about Indian instruments were widespread, as a result of which the automaker eliminated this malfunction. By 2010, “freezing” of instrument needles had been completely eliminated and, with rare exceptions, occurred mainly on models produced before 2009.

Body and chassis

Shock absorbers and ball joints of the Daewoo Nexia N150 do not tolerate unevenness and potholes well Russian roads. The service life of these parts is reduced by half - up to 60,000 km during active off-road driving.

Service life of the front brake pads is the same 60,000 km, discs need to be changed every 120,000 km. Rear drum brakes have a similar working life - 120,000 km.

The main problems with the body are related to the paintwork of the Nexia N150: car owners note it low quality. Quite often there are unpainted areas and paint of different tones, which is a problem not so much for the Nexia concern, but for all automakers in this segment.

A negative feature of the Nexia N150 is the low-quality sealing of the joints of the body panels, which can result in water entering the cabin and luggage compartment during precipitation. I had exactly the same problem with the glass seals.

Options and cost

Daewoo Nexia was extremely popular on the Russian market and was offered in three trim levels: “basic”, “classic” and “luxury”. At the end serial production"Nexia N150" was sold at a very affordable price, ranging from 450 to 596 thousand rubles, depending on the selected modification and option package.

Basic Daewoo equipment Nexia N150 does not have a particularly rich set of options: interior heating, wheel steel wheels 14 inches in size, fabric upholstery of the interior and seats, heating rear window with timer function, remote control lid of the luggage compartment, gas tank hatch and doors. The top modification includes electric windows on all windows, air conditioning, fog lights, power steering, athermal glass, with four speakers and a USB connector.

Summary

Nexia N150 is often purchased solely for delivery or as a means of transportation. Requirements to similar car corresponding: reliability, efficiency, unpretentiousness. Initially, the Daewoo Nexia N150 was not particularly reliable or practical, but over time the manufacturer improved the model. This model was and remains budget car, the price of which fully corresponds to the quality.

Walking down the street, some motorists saw a car with the silhouette of an Opel Kadet E, but when you get closer you can see the emblem Daewoo brands and the inscription on the rear of the trunk - Racer. Many people decided for themselves that this is a Kadet with fake nameplates, but in fact it is a licensed copy German car and that's where it started history of Nexia. The Opel Kadet E was produced from 1984 to 1991, the model turned out to be quite popular, as evidenced by Opel winning the title of car of the year in Europe. In those years, Daewoo intended to produce high-quality passenger cars, and in 1986 the production of the Daewoo Racer began - a license was acquired - this cannot be compared to theft. In 1995, the car underwent a major modernization. During the restyling, the wheelbase was increased by 100mm. The model received a new name - Nexia. In his homeland, in South Korea the car was called Cielo. In 1996, Nexia production was established in Uzbekistan at the UzDaewoo enterprise, as well as in Rostov. The production of Nexia in Russia lasted only two years; the company was unable to compete with the more affordable Uzbek Koreans. Today, a Korean car can be considered an alternative not only to the VAZ 2110, but also to old business sedans: and.

External review of Daewoo Nexia

Absolute majority Daewoo Nexia They are found in a sedan body, but occasionally you can find a five and three-door hatchback. The production of hatchbacks was less widespread and it was discontinued in 2003. Throughout the years of production, two main trim levels were produced: GL and GLE. The first is budget, it is distinguished by unpainted bumpers and rear-view mirrors. The more expensive GLE is distinguished by painted bumpers with built-in fog lights. We emphasize that foglight glass cracks quite often. The fact is that the headlights heat up additionally, and when water gets on them, the lens cracks. Less powerful modifications shod with tires measuring 175/70/R13, and more powerful versions with two-shaft engine and a sixteen-valve cylinder head are shod with 185/60/R14 tires. The extra inch and wider tires have a positive effect on handling. If you see in front of you a Nexia on fourteenth rims with the inscription DONC, then this is a car no older than 2002, it was in 2002 that another external restyling took place and new motor. Since 2002, Daewoo began to be equipped chrome grilles a radiator of a more complex shape (previously the grille was made in the form of a regular frame).

Interior and Equipment Nexia

Of course, in the Nexia salon you will not find a night vision system or chairs with massage, but the salon can safely be considered an advantage of the model, because it was the most spacious among its competitors. There is enough space in the cabin for five adults. The landing is quite low - this distinguishes Nexia from most budget cars, but in GLE trim level The driver's seat cushion is height adjustable. Basic version GL can differ very significantly from one another in terms of configuration; they all do not have a tachometer, but you can find GL with air conditioning and power steering. IN basic equipment included a radio with four speakers. Any GLE is equipped with four electric windows, but air conditioning, as in the case of the GL, is an option, but the GLE comes standard with a tachometer and an electrically operated antenna. Less spoiled drivers will like the fact that the gas filler flap and trunk lid can be opened from the passenger compartment. Volume luggage compartment Nexia - 530 liters, which even today is a more than decent figure. The downside of the trunk is the inability to increase the volume. After all, the backs of the sofa do not fold down.

Technical part and characteristics of Daewoo Nexia

Under the hood of the Nexia you can see one of two power units. Both engines have the same volume - 1.5 liters, but the second is equipped with a sixteen-valve cylinder head and two camshafts, which made it possible to increase power by 10 hp. The first engine develops 75 horsepower, and the second 85 horses. WITH power plants Daewoo Nexia can only be mated with a five-speed manual. Mechanical box Nexia is also known by Opel Vectra and Astra of the first generations. The gears are quite long, which in some situations is an advantage, because it saves the driver from frequent switching in the city. In most cases Daewoo engines Nexia before overhaul Live 200 - 250 thousand. The engines are equipped with a belt, which it is advisable to change at least once every 50,000 kilometers. Note that when the belt breaks, the valves do not always meet the pistons, but if in the case of 16v the break occurred on high speed, but such a meeting is very likely. The CV joints of the front wheels of the Korean take care of 100,000 km. The factory BOGE shock absorbers that were installed on the UzDaewoo are quite soft and comfortable, but they usually last no more than 30,000 km. Ball joints on Daewoo Uzbek the assemblies are fastened with three bolts and, as a result, they are removable. Ball ones run 100,000 km. Tie rod ends of passenger cars can withstand 30 - 40 thousand.

Let's pay attention to the technical characteristics of the Daewoo Nexia with a basic eight-valve engine.

Front installed in Daewoo disc brakes, and behind the drums.

Price

Today used Nexia in good condition estimated at $5,000.

As a basis for creation budget sedan The B-class Daewoo Nexia was taken from the Opel Kadett E, which was produced for seven years, from 1984 to 1991. The first Daewoo Nexia was produced in 1995, and a year later its assembly began in Uzbekistan at Uz-Daewoo.

Some time later, namely in 2008, the sedan was significantly modernized, as evidenced by the update of the interior, bumpers, and lighting equipment.

Technical characteristics of Daewoo Nexia 2015

Since 2008, instead of outdated engines, DOHC engines with a volume of 1.6 liters and SOHC engines with a volume of 1.5 liters, the power of which is 109 and 80 hp, began to be installed on Daewoo Nexiaa. accordingly. These units have been brought to environmental class"Euro-3". These options are supplied with mechanical five-speed gearbox transmission

When, where and for how much to buy Daewoo Nexia (N150)

The basic equipment of the Low Cost sedan at the start of sales cost buyers 259,000 rubles. However, for that amount you could buy a bare car. The intermediate version of the car, which has a standard audio system, cost 299,000 rubles and 327,000 rubles, depending on the type of engine chosen.

The top-end Lux ​​package of the Daewoo Nexia 2014 model is equipped with a 1.6-liter engine. Its cost was 361,000 rubles. This vehicle is equipped with power windows, fog lights, power steering and central locking. To install an air conditioner, it was necessary to pay an additional 26,000 rubles.

A modernized version of the original four-door Daewoo Nexia, which received the 2nd generation index "Daewoo Nexia", was officially presented to the auto world in August 2008 by UZ-Daewoo.

In comparison with its predecessor, the car with the factory index N150 received several changes at once, affecting the body design, interior and range of engines.

Serial production of Daewoo Nexia Drive 2 continued until August 2016, after which the concern decided to discontinue it.

Exterior

The body design of the Daewoo Nexia 2 is made in an archaic style with references to cars of the 90s of the last century. From the front, the sedan looks most attractive due to the aggressive design of the bumper and head optics. The sedan's exterior is too simple, the only difference is unusual headlights, rounded wheel arches, a large glass area and a bulky bumper.

"Daewoo Nexia 2" has dimensions that are standard for C-class cars: body length - 4482 mm, height - 1393 mm, width - 1662 mm. The wheelbase is 2520 millimeters, ground clearance- 158 millimeters.

Interior

The trend observed in the exterior of the Daewoo Nexia 2 continues in the design of the interior space: the interior looks downright outdated. The central panel is modest, all instruments are easy to read, and the steering wheel is three-spoke. On dashboard There is a monochrome clock, three climate control buttons and a two-din radio. Low-quality finishing materials and not the most best build have a negative impact on general impression from Daewoo Nexia 2.

The design of the front seats is unsuccessful: the backrest is too flat, lateral support is almost completely absent, as well as position adjustment. Backseat designed for only two passengers, free space practically none for the legs.

The luggage compartment volume of the basic Daewoo Nexia 2 is 530 liters. The rear seat does not fold down, and there is no special hatch for transporting long cargo. A set of tools and a full-size spare wheel are located in the underground niche of the car's luggage compartment.

Fuel consumption in the combined cycle is 8.1 liters per 100 kilometers.
• The top engine option is a 1.6-liter F16D3 engine with a 16-valve timing belt. Engine power is 109 horsepower, maximum torque is 5800 rpm. The car can be accelerated to 100 km/h in 11 seconds, and the maximum speed is 185 km/h. In combined mode, the Daewoo Nexia 2 consumes 8.9 liters per 100 kilometers.

Chassis, braking systems and steering

The 2nd generation Daewoo Nexia was created on the T-body platform developed by General Motors, with a transverse engine arrangement inherited from the Opel Kadett E. Independent McPherson struts were installed in the front, semi-independent shock absorbers in the rear.

Steering "Daewoo Nexia 2" rack type. The hydraulic booster is installed only on top versions of the car. Ventilated disc brakes are installed at the front and drum brakes at the rear. ABS is not even offered as an option.

Prices and options

Russian dealers offered Daewoo Nexia II in three trim levels: “Classic”, “Basic” and “Lux”. At the time of the termination of mass production, the cost of the car varied from 450 to 596 thousand rubles.

The basic modification of the sedan is meager and consists of 14-inch steel wheels, a cabin heater, fabric upholstery of the interior and seats, a function for remotely opening the gas tank hatch and trunk lid, and a heated rear window with a set timer.

The top-end equipment does not differ much from the basic one and is supplemented by air conditioning, power steering, fog lights, a double-din radio, four speakers, electric windows, athermal windows, a USB connector and an OBD-2 connector. The Daewoo Nexia is not equipped with additional assistant systems.
