The car of the first generation with the factory index M100 was originally intended for Fiat, which ordered a design project for the future car from the Italian studio Giorgetto Giugiaro. However, the project was later rejected, and the rights to it were bought by Daewoo company. The result was a car with a body index M100, which replaced the outdated Daewoo Tico city car. But despite this, Daewoo Matiz borrowed some design elements from Tico. This was a controversial decision, given the fact that Daewoo Tico used components and assemblies from the Japanese Suzuki models Alto model 1982. Thus, the Daewoo Matiz, which went on sale in 1997, was already technically obsolete. Fortunately, this did not harm the popularity of the car, which was sold out very quickly. In this regard, the city car was produced in the same place where it was sold.
Daewoo Matiz Hatchback
Debuted in 2000 updated version M150, which was produced in Uzbekistan. However, the model was still produced with a 0.8 liter engine. This continued until 2003 - by that time the gamut had expanded due to liter engine. Later, an even more powerful version with a volume of 1.2 liters appeared.
The 1997 sample model has exhausted its life cycle, but it continued to be produced until 2016. Then Daewoo Matiz was renamed to Ravon Matiz but it was unsuccessful marketing ploy, which was the reason for the final cessation of sales of Daewoo Matiz / Ravon Matiz.
"Deo Matiz" is a compact 5-door hatchback. Due to its small size, attractive appearance, the maneuverability of the car has become widespread among the female population. In addition, low fuel consumption refers "Matiz" to the type of so-called small cars.

Performance characteristics
Next, consider the operational technical characteristics of "Deo Matiz". Immediately it should be said that the indicators are far from outstanding. However, for a quiet city ride, this great option especially for women with children.
To which this mini-car can be accelerated, it reaches an insignificant 144 km / h. Up to 100 km / h "Matiz" accelerates in 17 seconds.

It has been produced for about 20 years, sold in Russia for more than 10 years. A small and funny car quickly attracted attention, and its impressive technical properties won public recognition.
History
In 1997, Daewoo's South Korea released the Daewoo Matiz model (Due Matiz), which continues to be created to this day. The company itself was closed by the government in 1999, and in 2001 it was bought by the General Motors corporation, which retained the name of the division.
Attention! The second name of the model "Chevrolet Spark" ("Chevrolet Spark") appeared in 2001 after the buyout of the liquidated company, while the first name was retained by the cars assembled in Uzbekistan.
The predecessor of Daewoo Matiz was Daewoo Tico, which, in turn, was created on the basis of the chassis of the “Japanese” Suzuki Alto, sold after the cessation of production in 1988 to the Koreans, and the Tickford engine modified by the British. Body and interior decoration salons belong to the Italians ItalDesign-Giugiaro S.h.A, they also made two restylings of the model. Initially, their work was offered Fiat, but the latter abandoned it.
In total, during its existence, Daewoo Matiz "survived" 4 generations:
- The first generation - M100 and M150. M100 has been produced since 1997 in Korea, and then in India, Poland and Romania. M150 appeared in 2000 after the first restyling, they also began to be produced in Uzbekistan. The next replacement took place 2 years later and touched the engine - it was increased to a liter. In 2008, after the changes, it received the Euro-3 standard.
Today models with engines of 0.8, 1 and 1.2 liters are offered. In Russia, since 2016, the model has been sold under the name "Ravon Matiz", but not for long;
- Second generation - M200 and M250. The first was introduced in 2005 and was offered in 0.8- and 1-liter versions. In Russia, he came under the name "Chevrolet Spark", in Europe - " Chevrolet Matiz”, in South Korea was sold under the old name. Compared to the first generation, the engine has become more environmentally friendly, fuel consumption has decreased and the appearance has changed.
The M250 was released in 2007 after minor changes to the headlights;
- Third generation - M300. It was shown in 2009. The changes affected the wheelbase and dimensions - Due Matiz became longer by 10 cm, wider by 2.5 cm and higher by 9.5 cm. An updated version was introduced in 2012.

Specifications
Daewoo Matiz is a small hatchback designed for the city.
Attention! All technical data are presented for cars with a liter engine.
Specifications of the first generation model:
The second generation received a cleaner engine, reduced fuel consumption, interior and exterior. Most of the characteristics of the first generation remained unchanged, except for:
- Maximum speed - 155 km / h, acceleration to 100 km / h takes 12 seconds, tank volume - 35 liters, gasoline - AI-95;
- Fuel consumption in the city - 8 liters, outside the city - 5 liters, mixed - 6 liters.
The third generation has changed more:
- The length "grew" by 10 cm to 3.6 meters, the width - up to 1.6 meters, the height "added" 3.5 cm, added the same amount wheelbase. The track in front has grown by 10 cm, in the back - by almost 14 cm;
- Trunk volume has increased to a minimum of 170 liters and a maximum of 994 liters;
- The gearbox was replaced with an automatic;
- The maximum speed "decreased" to 150 km / h, the acceleration time to 100 km / h increased to 15 seconds. Fuel consumption has also changed: in the city - 7 liters, outside the city - 6 liters, in the mixed version - 6.4 liters.
Fuel consumption
On average, Due Matiz consumes about 6-7 liters for every 100 km of road, in the city - more, outside the city - a little less. But determining whether it is economical or not is quite difficult, since the opinions of the owners are divided into 2 parts:
- A consumption of 7 liters for the city and standing in traffic jams is not much, and outside the city, consumption can “fall” up to 5 liters;
- Daewoo Matiz - small car, and therefore "eats" too much for its size.
Also, many owners are faced with the problem of increased consumption - the car can "eat" up to 10-12 liters per 100 km. In this case, it is recommended to check and replace all filters, candles and oil, washing well before that.
Attention! On these parts and consumable liquids do not save - it will help the car last longer.
Cleaning the tube and ventilation valve, flushing the regulator can also help. idle move and throttle valve. In some cases, it is necessary to resort to checking the coincidence of the timing belt and the nozzle or adjust the valves, since the reason for the excess may be incorrect operation.
It is noted that similar repair necessary after driving the first 80-100 thousand km or after buying a used car. Further replacements occur regularly: replacement of candles - every 30 thousand km, filters - every 20 thousand, oil - every 8-10 thousand.
