Daewoo is one of the most popular car brands in Ukraine. But I would like to talk specifically about one thing - the Daewoo Nexia. Daewoo Nexia is a C-class sedan that first saw the light of day in 1995. When it was created, the Opel Kadett was taken as a basis. It is interesting that at home, in the South Korean Republic, the car was sold under the Daewoo Racer brand.
In 1996, it was discontinued in Korea and is produced in Daewoo branches in different countries. And in 2008 it was modernized. The manufacturer also plans to update the car model again in the near future. The whole range of Daewoo.
Car history
The Daewoo Nexia sedan seems to be a simple and cheap car. Experts associate the considerable popularity of Nexia Daewoo in the market of the Russian Federation with rather competitive price tags, which have always been. In another way, the popularity of this vehicle is hard to justify.
It will not be superfluous to recall that the car became the heir to the 1984 Opel Kadett E. This car sold well, despite the unprepossessing appearance and outdated design. Moreover, sales were made not only at home, but also in European countries, which include Russia and Ukraine.
1995 Daewoo Nexia
The next year, 1996, in the Rostov region, they began to produce Nexia at the Krasny Aksai plant, which were called, so to speak, "Russian". We organized a SKD assembly of sedan cars. Hardly had a year passed when machines began to be produced at an enterprise in Uzbekistan.
Unusually, the cost of cars produced in Uzbekistan was significantly lower, so they almost completely ousted the twins, which were produced in Rostov and even in Korea, from the domestic car market.
First generation
From 1998 to 2008, the cars were equipped with G15MF engines, the volume of which was 1.5 liters, which eventually gave 75 "horses". Such a power unit was in reality a copy of the engine that was installed in the Opel Cadet E. In 2003, the car underwent an update, which influenced not only the external characteristics, but also the technical parameters.
Daewoo Nexia hatchback Now the improved engine developed 85 "horses". The power units met the European Euro-2 environmental standards and were produced until 2008. Already in 2008, Uzbek employees of the UzDaewoo firm decided to modernize the sedan. Thanks to this update, the car has got brand new bumpers, optics and interior.
Daewoo Nexia first generation The engine was also replaced - now they installed 80-horsepower and 109-horsepower power plants from Chevrolet Lanos and Chevrolet Lacetti. This article describes the Daewoo Nexia new version, its dimensions, cost, crash test and operation. Also below there is a Daewoo Nexia photo and video review.
Restyling
Since 2008, the car has been removed from production in Uzbekistan, and in return, the Daewoo Nexia restyling has been developed, which has become more improved and modified. The second family is not produced in a hatchback body. The company only offers the car in sedan form.
It is clear that after the restyling, the appearance of the Nexia has changed. The car received new halogen optics with a lens system. And the headlights have acquired strange curly outlines that have no analogues. The radiator grill is located at a considerable angle of inclination, but retained its trapezoidal shape.
The diffuser, located in the front bumper and niches for foglights, was significantly increased. At the stern, the lanterns were reduced and acquired a certain curly shape, which resembles the stylistic appearance of flags.
Exterior
Most often, the car can be seen in the sedan body, but sometimes you can see both 5 and 3-door hatchbacks. The production of such cars with such a body was not as massive as a sedan, and stopped back in 2003.
I don't particularly want to say something about the external characteristics of the Daewoo Nexia, and I want to, since there is a feeling that the sedan was stuck back in the 1990s of the last century.
As elsewhere, there is also a reverse side of the coin, because simple forms have made it possible to drastically reduce the cost of production, which is really important for a budget car. Some details in the external appearance are worth highlighting - quite attractive optics and a rather modernly made hood.
Throughout the entire production period, 2 basic configurations were produced: GL and GLE. GL was considered budgetary and was equipped with unpainted bumpers and rear-view mirrors. The second version already had painted bumpers and built-in fog lights.
Daewoo Nexia front view It is worth emphasizing that fog lamp glasses often crack. This is partly due to the fact that the headlights of the auxiliary lighting get hot, and when water gets on them, the lens cracks. Not such powerful configurations were shod in 13-inch wheels, and more powerful modifications came with 14-inch wheels.
It would seem that the difference is only one inch, but thanks to the even wider tires, the handling is noticeably improved. If you come across a Daewoo Nexia with 14-inch wheels and the DONC name, it means that the car in front of you is not older than 2002.
Daewoo Nexia photo Indeed, just in 2002, she went through another external update and began to be equipped with a new power unit. Starting in the same year, the sedan had chrome-plated radiator grilles, with a more complex shape.
Interior
It is clear that in the interior of Daewoo Nexia it will not be possible to find the option of night vision, or seats with massage, however, the interior in this brand is considered an advantage, because it has the greatest spaciousness among the opponents.
The front-mounted seats feature medium lateral bolster, heated and electrically adjustable six-way adjustment. The salon has free space for five adult passengers.
Daewoo Nexia II interior If we talk about the landing, then it is quite underestimated, which distinguishes the Nexia from other budget cars. Interestingly, in the GLE modification, the driver's seat cushion is adjustable in height.
Standard GL configurations differ greatly from each other in modifications, however, you can see GL with support for air conditioning, power steering. All versions of the GLE come with four power windows, a tachometer and an electrically operated antenna.
Photo salon Daewoo Nexia II The backs of the rear sofa do not have a folding function, which is a disadvantage when transporting bulky items. After restyling, the dashboard received a transformed look, a fashionable visor, under which there are 3 large sensors.
The center console turned out to be slightly turned towards the driver. The console has various control buttons and a navigation system, which will now be available to customers even in the standard configuration.
All the plastic has improved a lot in quality, all unloved cracks and gaps have disappeared, it was possible to increase the noise insulation in the cabin.
Luggage compartment Daewoo Nexia The steering wheel received a brand new rim with a special notch for the fingers. The calm illumination of the devices will not leave you indifferent either. For extra money, you can install a sliding sunroof on top. In the second generation of the famous sedan, more expensive plastic was used, and the quality of fastening elements and parts improved significantly.
The front panel has oval and rectangular details. All elements are located comfortably and have been backlit. Some of the controls, or rather the buttons for the electric package, are installed on the driver's door.
The volume of the luggage compartment of the Daewoo Nexia new is 530 liters. This is a very decent result for today.
Specifications
Power unit
The list of power units for Daewoo Nexia is not as large as that of its rivals. It contains only a pair of gasoline engines, which are designed for four cylinders and comply with Euro-3 environmental standards. The weakest in the line of engines is the A15SMS, to which everyone is used to in Chevrolet Lanos. The device has a working volume of 1.5 liters and develops 80 horsepower at 5600 rpm.
The power unit received a distributed fuel injection system. There is also an electronic control unit that allows you to fill in various fuel modifications (from AI-80 to AI-95). The gas distribution mechanism was made according to the SOHC type, which means a pair of valves for each cylinder, which are controlled by a camshaft mounted at the top.
Daewoo Nexia engine Such characteristics allow the car to accelerate to 175 km / h, and it overcomes the first hundred in 12.5 seconds. It is difficult to call an economical motor, because in the urban cycle it eats about 8.5 liters, on the highway - 7.7 liters, and in the combined cycle it requires 8.1 liters of fuel per 100 km.
Next comes a more powerful engine, which came from the Chevrolet Lacetti. Its capacity is 109 "horses", taking into account its volume - 1.6 liters. Chevrolet Cobalt has a similar engine. The power unit is equipped with a DOHC type gas distribution system with a pair of camshafts located at the top and 4 valves per cylinder.
The power of such a motor makes it possible to accelerate to 185 km / h. The first hundred is reached by a passenger car in 11 seconds.
It is logical to conclude that with an increase in power, fuel consumption will also increase - 9.3 liters in urban mode, 8.5 on highways and 8.9 in a combined cycle. Both engines received a front, transverse layout, and also have an in-line arrangement of cylinders.
Transmission
Synchronized operation of power units with a 5-speed manual gearbox and one clutch disc, which, as seen in practice, has a "heavy" shifting device. If the timing belt breaks, the engine will need to be sorted out, although the fact that the valves will necessarily meet with the pistons is not guaranteed.
Suspension
The front-mounted suspension is independent, spring-loaded on a McPherson strut platform. At the rear, semi-independent structures with springs and a torsion beam are used. The suspension behaves quite well on Russian roads. The old design, cheap equipment and low settings remind of themselves with every operation of the car.
Based on the results of the test drive, it should be concluded that the Nexia behaves on the road even better than the "classic Lada", but Kalina, Priora and Grant are losing on many points. Most likely, these shortcomings made the engineering staff think about the production of the 3rd generation Daewoo Nexia.
Dimensions (edit)
The car reaches 4482 mm in length, 1662 mm in width, and 1393 mm in height. The wheelbase is 2520 mm, and the ground clearance is set at 158 mm, which, in principle, is not so much, given the quality of our roads. The turning radius is 4.9 meters.
The entire vehicle weighs 1,025 kg and has a maximum weight of 1,530 kg. One of the advantages of Daewoo Nexia is the spacious luggage compartment - 530 liters of free space. However, the opening was made a bit narrow, which makes it difficult to load any items.
| Modification | engine's type |

| Daewoo Nexia 1.6 MT | Petrol | 1598 cm³ | 109 h.p. | Mechanical 5st. | 11.0 | 185 |
Brake system
The braking equipment is as follows - disc brakes are installed in front, and drum brakes in the back.
Steering
Rack and pinion steering. But the hydraulic power steering is not included in the basic configuration, but the engineers foresaw the free space for its installation.
New motors 2008
At the onset of 2008, in addition to body changes in appearance, Nexia updated the list of engines. Instead of the morally obsolete G15MF engine, they began to install the A15SMS internal combustion power plant.
The internal combustion engine has a fuel system from a Chevrolet Lanos, so the engine meets Euro-3 eco standards. But the 16-valve A15MF has been replaced with a fresh 1.6-liter F16D3.
The first engine from Chevrolet Lanos became more powerful than its predecessor - now its power is 90 horsepower. However, the engine got a big drawback - due to the fact that the cylinder head of the new model is installed from "Lanos", when the timing belt breaks, the valve "hits" the pistons.
The petrol 1.6-liter 109-horsepower engine has one interesting point. To reduce the emission of toxic gases, an EGR valve is installed on it. However, from "our" gasoline, the recirculation system is often clogged, so most car owners shut off this valve.
However, the power plant also adopted some of the disadvantages of the German motor. Often the lambda probe leaves the working position, oil flows from under the valve cover and difficulties arise with the functioning of the thermostat, which opens earlier than necessary.
The fact that the oil is flowing is not the whole problem. Often, oil flows into the candle wells, after which the internal combustion engine begins to triple. But on the power unit there is occasionally oil between the piston rings, therefore, in this regard, the F16D3 is reliable.
Just like all cars, an Uzbek-made sedan requires maintenance, and the oil in the engine needs to be changed at the time specified in the established regulations.
As with other vehicles, the oil should be changed every 10,000 kilometers. If the conditions for using the vehicle are difficult (heavy loads, operation in a hot region), the oil must be changed after 5,000 kilometers.
There are no special recommendations for oils for Nexia engines. So that the oil does not burn and blackness does not appear on the elements from the inside of the power plant, it is good if it is of high quality and has good additives. It is better to refuse mineral oil, it is advised to use "synthetics" or "semi-synthetics".
During the start of the power unit on thick oil, characteristic wear of engine parts occurs, the service life decreases, so it is better not to use the all-season vehicle in winter. It is advised to buy almost any oil from popular global manufacturers, and not a fake. This could be Castrol, Mobil, Chevron, ELF, and so on.
Many drivers already know that it is precisely because of fake oil that carbon deposits and a reduction in the resource of the power unit occur. Counterfeits do not have high-quality additives that have the necessary lubricating properties and reduce the friction of parts.
Security
Daewoo Nexia previously passed crash tests in a frontal collision at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour. Then everyone was frightened by the driver's door jammed in the opening, the welded seams that simply parted in the floor area, and the metal of the B-pillar, which bent from the tug of the seat belt.
A little later, the sedan had to pass another crash test, more difficult. This is an impact with a deformable barrier at a speed of 64 kilometers per hour with a smaller area of overlap. Based on modern rules, an offset collision occurs in such a way that the car hits an obstacle not 50, but 40% of the front end.
Daewoo Nexia front view Initially, this seems like a minor change, but because of it there is a global increase in the load on the driver's side member. So, Nexia was accelerated to a certain speed limit, and she crashed into an obstacle.
It feels like an invisible object took the car by the bow and turned to one side, squeezing the driver's doorway. The left windshield pillar stood almost vertically, the roof lined up "in a house." The body sill broke and went in a big zigzag to the left.
Daewoo Nexia car The inner door panel was folded inside the crumpled opening at an acute angle. If we talk about the outer panel, then it moved away from its base so that it became visible to the crippled insides in the form of locks sticking out in different directions, bent window guides.
In the middle, between a pair of torn door panels, a safety bar protruded alone. The latter is a powerful tube integrated into the door to help it "contain" side and frontal impacts. Similar bars, which served as spacer pipes, were installed in the front doors of the VAZ-2110, as well as Svyatogor.
Photo of Daewoo Nexia They helped these cars to keep the doorway from the consequences of terrible collisions. However, on our sedan, this bar was torn off the side of the door along the spot welded areas and could not alter the result of the collision in any way.
It was as if the Uzbek-made vehicle decided to catch up and surpass the worst results of all the cars that had only been tested up to this moment. The windshield pillar was offset longitudinally by 370 millimeters (Oka has an indicator of 365 millimeters!).
Daewoo Nexia 2010 The end of the steering shaft has moved back by 290 millimeters (the same Oka has an indicator of 295 mm!). The clutch pedal was recessed into the vehicle by 4.10 centimeters. The space under the panel was reduced by 3 times, and the driver's (dummy's) left foot was clamped by the seat cushion and the wheel well. Right foot stuck tightly to the floor between the gas and brake pedals.
If we talk about the driver himself, then during the impact he kissed the steering wheel, bent its rim, hit his head on the corner of the dashboard visor. The impact was so violent that the probable HIC brain damage indicator bypassed the 1,000-point red line.
Photo sedan Daewoo Nexia The impact itself with the steering column shifting towards the driver gave a serious load of sensors in the dummy's neck. Therefore, getting a fractured ribs in such a collision is a real danger. On top of that, Nexia guarantees a fracture of the left femur, because during the collision, the load on it reached a ton!
The left knee hits the area of the panel where the junction box and fuses and relays are located. The knee of my right leg rested against the soft papier-mâché panel in an area free from hard objects. However, as the foot of the right foot was “locked” under the pedals, the lower leg felt a strong bending force. When the blow is stronger, the shin bone will simply break.
New Daewoo Nexia Of course, the passenger did not get so much, but it did. He hit his head on the padded pad on the panel, which isn't as dangerous based on a 608 HIC. However, the stretching of the neck during the "nod" was significant.
The left femur of the dummy has experienced loads that go beyond the boundaries of the "green" area. After the impact, the passenger began to rest his knees on the glove compartment lid. Therefore, the test result can be called sensational - only 1 point out of 16 possible during a frontal collision.
Daewoo Nexia rear view It turns out that the sedan provides its customers with protection at the same level as the small Oka. Even the VAZ-2110 is much better than the Daewoo Nexia. When viewing the sedan's body, I had to observe a terrible picture. The panels came loose from each other, the metal crumpled in a chaotic manner.
I was very struck by the unusual degree of deformation - the shield of the bow was curled to one side, but was not bent. He was almost unharmed. However, all the elements that are located behind it - floor panels, sills, body pillars - are crumpled as if they were made of cardboard.
Photo of the car Daewoo Nexia If you take hold of the edge of the floor panel, which is torn off the floor, you feel that the metal "breathes" like bent organic glass. One gets the feeling that the body floor has been stamped out of an overly soft metal. Probably substandard.
Therefore, during the impact, the bottom went in a "wave" - it offered almost no resistance to deformation. The result of the Nexia is the following - the presence of weak seams, weak metal and the bottom itself.
After the first generation Daewoo Nexia was turned over, other equally amazing moments were revealed. The bottom of the gas tank gleamed with bare metal that they had forgotten to paint over. Rust has coated the flanges of the exhaust pipes.
Crash test
Options and prices
2015 made it possible for Daewoo to sell a passenger car in 13 trim levels. However, in fact, they can be divided into 3 generalized - "Classic" (GL), "Norm" and "Lux" (GLE). Modification "Classic" implies meager equipment of the car, where there is not even an audio recorder and only a single 1.5-liter power unit is offered.
The basic arsenal includes inertial seat belts, 13-inch wheel rims, adjustable head restraints on the front seats, heated rear window, a clock, a rear shelf mounted on the dashboard, and an electric headlight corrector. This model is estimated from 450,000 rubles.
New Daewoo Nexia Modification "Norm" just provides everything you need. It includes: air conditioning, and / or power steering, a radio tape recorder with four speakers, 13 or 14-inch wheel disks. Besides, the best interior upholstery.
It is possible to choose the power unit you personally need: 1.5-liter or 1.6-liter. There is a Nexia "Norm" with a 1.5-liter engine - 502,000 rubles, and with a 1.6-liter engine - 525,000 rubles.
Photo of the new Daewoo Nexia Modification "Lux", in addition to all of the above, has a central locking, power steering, air conditioning (optional), electric windows, wheel covers, fog lights, repeaters on the side mirrors, 14-inch wheel disks, a sun strip on the windshield and painting bumpers in body color. The "Lux" version with a 1.5-liter engine is estimated at 563,000 rubles, and with a 1.6-liter engine - from 569,000 rubles.

Daewoo Nexia is the most widespread and popular car made in Southeast Asia. However, it would be wrong to consider it "purely Asian". Opel Kadett E, produced in Germany from 1984 to 1991, owes its birth to the "deushka", as the owners affectionately called it.
The first copies of the model produced under license from Opel left the Daewoo assembly line back in 1986. The car was exported to the USA and Canada under the name Pontiac Le Mans, and in the markets of other countries it became known as Daewoo Racer.
The first Racers appeared on the Russian market in the early 90s and were sold unofficially through "gray" dealers. In 1994, the first restyling of this model took place, during which the front and rear parts of the body, headlights, taillights were completely redesigned, in addition, the wheelbase of the car increased by 100 mm. After modernization, the model received a new name - Nexia (in the domestic market of Korea it was offered under the name Cielo).
And soon Daewoo branches in different countries began to assemble: UzDaewoo in Uzbekistan, Krasny Aksai in Russia and Rodae in Romania.
Until 2002, only one 1.5-liter gasoline engine was offered for Nexia, developed at one time by Opel. Its power was both 75 and 90 liters. with. depending on the head of the block: if it is 16-valve (it was extremely rare), then the car produced almost 100 hp. Well, if the 8-valve - 75 hp. For Nexia, there were 2 types of gearboxes: a 4-speed automatic (only for European versions) and a five-speed manual, which proved to be good on the Kadett. The front suspension is a classic MacPherson strut used on most foreign cars. Rear - the so-called twisted beam, which is also a stabilizer bar. Porsche had a hand in tuning both suspensions, which is perhaps why the Nexia is so confident at speed without compromising on comfort. Minus - small rolls in corners.
The Nexia was available in 3 body styles: sedan, 3- and 5-door hatchback. Hatchbacks were produced in Romania only for the European market. Their production ended in 1997.
For the Russian market, Nexia was offered only in a sedan body and in two trim levels: GL and GLE. The first trim level was frankly "empty": a simple cassette radio and air conditioning (until 2002), there was not even a tachometer. GLE is richer: electric drive of all glasses, air conditioning, radio with an electric antenna + 4 speakers (by the way, the sound quality is not bad), bumpers in body color, power steering, central locking. European cars had a driver's airbag and ABS.
The salon, by the standards of the class, is not bad and is designed for more or less comfortable accommodation of 4, not too tall people. Its finish is at a high level for such a cheap car. That only there is velor, very pleasant to the touch, which will cover the interior and upholstery of the doors. Soundproofing is also excellent. The front seats have good lateral support. The torpedo is made in a purely German style: everything is in its place; but clearly outdated by design. One of the car's trump cards is a huge 530-liter trunk.
By 2002, at factories in Romania and Russia, the production of Nexia was curtailed and completely transferred to Uzbekistan. At the same time, a restyling was carried out, during which Nexia acquired rear "crystal" lamps, a decorative plastic trim on the trunk lid, a chrome-plated radiator lining and new door panels in the cabin.
But the main innovation is the more modern 1.5 DOHC 85 hp engine. s, which has a sixteen-valve cylinder head with two camshafts and a more modern distributed fuel injection system, capable of accelerating the Nexia to a hundred in 11 seconds and having a top speed of 185 km / h.
The car, due to its attractive price, good road performance and reliability, is very popular in Russia, three times became the sales leader among foreign cars from 1999 to 2002 and to this day is confidently in the top five. To support the interest of buyers in the car, in 2008 the next, third in a row, restyling is planned.
During which the Nexia will receive a new look for the front and rear (new headlights, radiator grill, mirrors with turn signals, new front and rear bumpers). It is also planned to equip the Nexia with a new 1.6-liter engine that will meet the Euro-3 requirements.
Daewoo Nexia, equipped with a gasoline engine, has been produced since 1996. At first, Daewoo Nexia was equipped with an 8-valve 1.5 liter engine, and then a 16-valve 1.6 liter engine. The F16MF DOHC engine produces 109 hp. with. power. And the A15SMS motor is designed for 86 hp. with. and, in addition to the Nexia, was installed on the Chevrolet Lanos.
A five-speed manual transmission works in tandem with power units, Korean versions with automatic transmissions, four-speed manual transmissions are less common. As for the power plants of Daewoo Nexia, preference should be given to a 1.6-liter engine, which is considered more reliable. On models with a 1.5-liter internal combustion engine, a Check Engine malfunction is often displayed, which is often associated with a banal sensor malfunction, damaged contacts, and not problems in the unit itself.
Owners of pre-styling cars complain about a leaking cylinder head gasket. A similar problem was encountered on the Opel Cadet. It is associated with improper tightening of the valve cover, which was subsequently replaced by the manufacturer with a plastic analogue. Oil leakage leads to operation in conditions of lack of lubrication, oil often enters the spark plug wells, which provokes uneven operation. All this is fraught with overheating, accelerated wear of the camshaft and crankshaft, cylinder-piston group. Power will gradually decrease, consumption will increase, a characteristic knock will appear. To avoid negative consequences, you need to fix a factory defect in the valve cover. You should also take care of the timely maintenance of Daewoo Nexia.
Features of Daewoo Nexia motors
Design: what is remarkable? |
||
|---|---|---|
8 valves; analogue of C16NZ from Opel, but has different cylinder diameters, a different configuration of pistons and oil pump, a different cylinder head layout; runs 200-250 thousand km. |
||
16 valves; 85 l. with.; 2 camshafts and ECU for ignition; lower fuel consumption compared to the G15MF. |
||
89 l. with.; compliance with EURO-3 standards; the fuel system is built in the same way as on the Chevrolet Lanos. |
||
109 l. with.; structurally and externally similar to the X14XE; there are hydraulic lifters, exhaust gas recirculation; EGR valve; Among the shortcomings are the small resource of the lambda probe and problems with the functioning of the thermostat. |
For routine maintenance of 75 hp G15MF engines. sec., A15MF for 90 liters. sec., F16D3 109 hp. with. you need 3.8 liters of oil. To extend the life of the Daewoo Nexia motor, you can use. This will allow you to restore worn surfaces, which are based on ferrous metals. A dense layer of cermets forms on the parts, compression is normalized, the level of noise and vibrations is reduced, and fuel and oil consumption decreases. Daewoo Nexia consumes about 10 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers in the urban cycle. With wear of the power unit and problems with the fuel system, this figure increases by 2-3 liters. And thanks to the complex treatment with a repair and restoration composition, it is possible to normalize it.
If you are not sure about the quality of fuel at a gas station, use. It will increase the octane number by 3-5 units and will save up to 10% of fuel. FuelEXx removes water from fuel, optimizes combustion processes, and promotes de-carbonization of piston rings.
The combustion catalyst is very useful for a Daewoo Nexia with a 1.6L 1.6L engine: due to the low quality of Russian gasoline in a car, the EGR valve often fails - the recirculation system cokes.
We deal with the Daewoo Nexia box
The most common is the five-speed manual transmission, a prototype from Opel. The oil in it should be changed every 80-90 thousand km, although the production does not mention this procedure; car owners and mechanics advise to adhere to such regulations.
Over time, the main gear oil seal begins to leak, on used cars the smoothness of the shift is often disturbed. To make shifting gears easier, change the drive rods and bushings (sold in the kit). Additionally, the box can be treated with a friction geomodifier. This will restore the geometry of the gears, reduce noise and vibration, which is beneficial for new and used Daewoo Nexia transmissions. in the RVS-Master gearbox, it compensates for wear and forms a protective layer, and not a temporary film, unlike competitors, which allows you to independently perform repairs without disassembling the gearbox and get rid of the hum.
Daewoo Nexia is a superb and budget Korean sedan at the same time. In addition, this model is one of the most widespread cars in the territory of our state. For the first time, this car left the assembly line back in 1995.
However, even today it is considered the best of its kind among inexpensive cars. It is worth noting that after the auto giant General Motors acquired the rights to the Daewoo Nexia 2019 new model in 2008: photo, the price has slightly become just a little higher, but the style and quality have improved many times. 
Daewoo Nexia specifications
All the latest versions of this car are equipped with petrol engines with a working volume of 1.5 liters. or 1.6 liters. The power of the first is only 80 horsepower. In turn, in the second, the technical characteristics of the Daewoo Nexia 1.6 16 valve power reaches 109 hp.
In addition, a more powerful motor is installed only in top-end configurations. To top it off, it is worth mentioning that the gearbox did not please with its variety and is calculated by only one representative in the form of a 5-speed "mechanics".

They don't say anything particularly bad about this sedan. Only that this machine clearly does not belong to the executive class. Although it has a rather stylish body design, a comfortable interior and good characteristics, its main purpose is various business trips and nothing more.
In August 2008, the UZ-Daewoo company held an official presentation of the compact sedan Daewoo Nexia of the second incarnation, which, in fact, was only the fruit of the modernization of the original generation four-door.
The car, which received the internal plant index "N150", has changed in several directions compared to its predecessor - it has changed externally (although it did not become much more modern), received a completely redrawn interior and placed new engines under its hood.
Commercial production of the three-volume machine continued until August 2016, after which it was finally discontinued.
Outwardly, the "second" Daewoo Nexia is perceived as archaic and unassuming - the exterior design clearly refers to the 90s of the last century. The car looks most attractive from the front, and the credit for this belongs to the aggressive look of the head lighting technology and the tightly knocked down bumper. From other angles, the sedan has nothing to praise for - a simple silhouette with a large glass area and rounded-square rear wheel arches and an unremarkable stern with a bulky bumper and awkward headlights.
In terms of external dimensions, the Nexia of the second incarnation fits into the concepts of the C-class: the length, height and width of the car are 4482 mm, 1393 mm and 1662 mm, respectively. There is a 2520 mm base between the wheelsets of the three-volume, and there is a 158 mm ground clearance between the bottom and the roadway.
Inside, Daewoo Nexia continues the trend set by the exterior - the interior of the four-door looks outdated in all respects: a modest but well-read instrument cluster, a "flat" three-spoke steering wheel and an angular center console that houses an archaic monochrome clock, three "twists" of the climate system and a two-din a radio tape recorder (in the "base" it is still easier). The situation is aggravated by the low quality of finishing materials (“oak” plastics are widely used) and clumsy assembly.
The front seats of "Nexia" of the second generation upset with an amorphous profile with a flat back and poorly developed lateral support, and they do not differ in an abundance of adjustments. The rear sofa of the three-volume is clearly molded for two people (although it does not shine with hospitality), and for them the supply of free space, especially in the leg area, is extremely limited.
The trunk of the "second" Daewoo Nexia is voluminous - 530 liters in standard condition. But the back of the rear sofa does not recline, and there is no hatch for transporting long lengths. A set of necessary tools and a full-fledged spare wheel are located in the underground niche of the car.
Specifications. For the compact sedan, there are two gasoline power units that work together exclusively with a 5-speed "manual" transmission and drive front wheels:
- The role of the base engine is performed by an inline-four A15SMS with a volume of 1.5 liters (1498 cubic centimeters) with distributed injection, an 8-valve SOHC timing structure and an electronic control unit, producing 80 horsepower at 5600 rpm and 123 Nm of peak torque at 3200 rpm / minute. In this version, the car copes with the first "hundred" in 12.5 seconds, accelerating to a maximum of 175 km / h, and "drinks" no more than 8.1 liters of gasoline in a mixed driving mode.
- More "capable" versions of the four-door relies on a four-cylinder 1.6-liter (1598 cubic centimeters) F16D3 engine with a multi-point "power supply" system and a 16-valve timing belt with a DOHC configuration, the potential of which has 109 "stallions" at 5800 rpm and 150 Nm of torque thrust at 4000 rpm. Thanks to such characteristics, the car accelerates from standstill to 100 km / h after 11 seconds, reaches a maximum of 185 km / h and "eats" about 8.9 liters of fuel in the combined cycle.
The Nexia of the second incarnation stretches on the front-wheel drive T-body platform of the General Motors concern with a transverse mounted engine, inherited from the Opel Kadett E. crossbar.
The car is equipped with a rack and pinion steering complex (the power steering was installed only on expensive versions, but it was not included in the "base"). At the front, ventilated disc brakes are used on the three-volume, and drum mechanisms at the rear (ABS was not even offered as an option).
Options and prices. Daewoo Nexia II was in stable demand on the Russian market, and it was sold in three trim levels - Classic, Basic and Lux (prices for a car at the time of its departure from our country ranged from 450,000 to 596,000 rubles).
In the "state" the sedan is equipped extremely poorly: steel wheel rims measuring 14 inches, a heater of the interior, fabric seat upholstery, remote unlocking of the gas tank flap and luggage cover from the passenger compartment and heated rear window with a timer.
The "top" version has not gone far from the standard configuration - it is supplemented only with air conditioning, power steering, fog lights, four power windows, a two-din radio with four speakers and a USB connector and athermal glasses.
