Daewoo Nexia is a compact C-class car, which is a continuation of the development of the Opel Kadett family. The vehicle has received significant changes compared to the original Cadet, but the design remains the same. Production of "Nexia" began in 1995. The model was produced in South Korea, Vietnam, Egypt, Romania and Uzbekistan. It is noteworthy that in South Korea, Daewoo Nexia lasted only two years on the assembly line - until 1997. In 2002, the model was completed in Vietnam, and in Romania the model left the assembly line in 2007. And finally, in 2016, the last batch of cars came off in Uzbekistan.

In addition to the classic four-door sedan, Daewoo Nexia received a three-door hatchback body, as well as a five-door hatchback. The last two versions were distributed in other countries, and in Russia they sold mainly a sedan. In South Korea, the model was known as the Daewoo Clelo. In addition to the production of the model in the above countries, for some time the car was produced in Russia, at the Krasny Aksai enterprise in the Rostov region - there the model was assembled until 1998. Then Nexia of Uzbek assembly was supplied to Russia.

Daewoo Nexia Hatchback

Daewoo Nexia Sedan

The motor range of Daewoo Nexia, as of 2008, was represented by two power plants. So, the basic equipment received a 1.5-liter 80-horsepower unit, and a richer version was available with a 1.6-liter internal combustion engine with a capacity of 109 horsepower. All modifications were offered with a five-speed manual transmission.

There were only three complete sets - Classic, Basic and Lux. Engine 1.6 was only available for the Lux version. However, according to the results of numerous test drives, most auto experts criticized the luxury variant for excess power and poor handling. In other words, with such an engine, the Nexia even more showed all the shortcomings characteristic of the outdated design of the 1980s.

Volzhsky Automobile Plant was very unhappy when Daewoo Nexia was assembled in Uzbekistan. After all, the prices for Daewoo and VAZ practically did not differ. Nexia was produced on the basis of the German Opel Cadett, only the Korean body. At that time, Opel no longer produced this model, although all its shortcomings were eliminated. There was only one drawback: there were no Aerbegs.

There are a lot of negative reviews about Nexia: it is difficult to hold the road, the control is not up to par, the chassis is mediocre, there is probably no sound insulation than there is. However, you won't find anything better at this price!

The simplest GL equipment includes only music and contactless opening of the trunk and fuel tank. The GLE version has a large number of options: power steering, electric glass drives, central locking, foglights. On this modification, you can find an air conditioner that was offered as an additional option.

A used Nexia is inexpensive.

Body and chassis

Rust resistance, alas, is below average. There is no way to fix this, therefore, when purchasing a car, check the condition of the case.

The running gear does not differ in the durability of the opelevskaya. The fact is that the plant saves on details. Steering tips do not live up to 50,000 km, shock absorbers up to 30,000 km. Rear springs break if you drive a little faster on the railroad tracks. 120,000 km will require replacement of ball, steering rods, rear arm bushings.

Motors and transmissions

Nexia was equipped with two types of engines: 1.5-liter with 8 and 16 valves. The first is high quality and durable. The second is more powerful, but not as reliable. If the timing belt breaks, the 16-valve valve will have to be sorted out (an expensive pleasure for the owner of a budget foreign car).

Keep in mind: The previous owners may well have had less maintenance than they should. Therefore, while inspecting the motor, open the cover of the hole where the oil is poured. If you find black deposits on the camshaft, then I do not recommend taking this car.

The gearbox is only mechanics, the same as that of Opel: it is not capricious and durable, there is nothing more to add. According to the manufacturer, there is no need to change the oil in the box, but I share the experts' point of view: it should be replaced every 110,000 km. Since the box becomes much tighter on a given run. The new rocker arm costs 3,000 rubles.

Nota Bene!

Experts advise 92 gasoline. 95 contains more metal-containing substances. Using it will shorten the service life of both 8- and 16-valve valves.

The cost

At least 70 thousand rubles. For a car in good condition, they will ask for at least 120 thousand rubles.

Output

The most affordable car in its class. It costs the same as the VAZ, but the quality of the second-hand Nexia outperforms the Zhiguli! I advise as the first car!

This review will focus on the characteristics of the 2012 Daewoo Nexia.
