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 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the car became the successor of the 1984 Opel Kadett E. This car sold well, despite the unprepossessing appearance and outdated design. Moreover, sales went 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 SKD assembly of sedan cars. Hardly had a year passed when the 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 twins from the domestic car market, which were produced in Rostov and even in Korea.

First generation

From 1998 to 2008, cars were equipped with G15MF engines, the volume of which was 1.5 liters, which ultimately gave 75 "horses". Such a power unit in reality was 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 grille is located at a considerable angle of inclination, but retained its trapezoidal shape.

The diffuser located in the front bumper and the niches for the fog lights were 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 ceased 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 downside to the medal, because simple forms have made it possible to drastically reduce the production cost, 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 will crack. Less 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, handling is noticeably improved. If you come across a Daewoo Nexia with 14-inch wheels and the name DONC, it means that the car in front of you is not older than 2002.

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 opponents.

The front-mounted seats have 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 fit, 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 GLE versions come with four power windows, a tachometer and an electrically operated antenna.

Photo salon Daewoo Nexia II

The backs of the back 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 that will now be available to customers even in the standard configuration.

All plastic has improved a lot in quality, all unloved cracks and gaps have disappeared, it was possible to increase the sound 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 devices will not leave you indifferent either. For extra money, a sliding sunroof can be installed 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 the elements are located comfortably and are backlit. Some of the controls, more specifically the electric package buttons, 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 worthy result for today.

Specifications

Power unit

The list of power units 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 engine, 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 that came from the Chevrolet Lacetti. Its capacity is 109 "horses", taking into account its volume - 1.6 liters. A similar engine for the Chevrolet Cobalt. 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 you can see in practice, has a "heavy" shift 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 lose on many points. Most likely, these shortcomings made the engineering staff think about the production of the 3rd generation Daewoo Nexia.

Dimensions

In length, the car reaches 4482 mm, in width - 1662 mm, and in height - 1393 mm. The wheelbase is 2520 mm, and the ground clearance is set at 158 \u200b\u200bmm, which, in principle, is not so much, given the quality of our roads. The turning radius is 4.9 meters.

The entire vehicle weighs 1025 kg and the maximum weight is 1530 kg. One of the advantages of Daewoo Nexia is the spacious luggage compartment - 530 liters of free space. However, the opening was made a little narrow, which makes it difficult to load any items.

Specifications

Modification	engine's type	Engine capacity	Power	Transmission	Acceleration up to 100 km / h, s.	Max speed km / h

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 was replaced with a fresh 1.6-liter F16D3.

The first engine from Chevrolet Lanos has become 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 engine oil needs to be changed at the same time as specified in the established regulations.

As with other vehicles, the oil should be changed after 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 the 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 carbon deposits and a reduction in the resource of the power unit occur precisely because of fake oil. Counterfeits do not have high-quality additives that have the necessary lubricating properties and reduce the friction of parts.

Safety

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 \u200b\u200boverlap. 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 door panels torn from each other, a safety bar protruded alone. The latter is a powerful tube integrated into the door to help it “contain” side and frontal impacts. Such beams, 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 change the result of the collision in any way.

The vehicle of the Uzbek production seemed to have 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 3 times, and the driver's (dummy's) left foot was clamped by the seat cushion and the wheel well. The right foot is 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 \u200b\u200bthe 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 right foot was “locked” under the pedals, the lower leg felt a strong bending force. When the impact is more severe, the shin bone will simply break.

New Daewoo Nexia

Of course, the passenger did not get so much, but he 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 "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 grasp 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 was stamped out of too soft metal. Probably substandard.

Therefore, during the impact, the bottom went in a "wave" - \u200b\u200bit offered almost no resistance to deformation. The Nexia's result is as follows - 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.

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 range. This model is estimated from 450,000 rubles.

Daewoo Motor Co., Ltd., a South Korean car manufacturing firm. The headquarters is located in Seoul. In 1972, the Korean authorities legislated the right to engage in automobile production for four companies - Kia, Hyundai Motor, Asia Motors and Shinjin.

Then there was a merger of firms Kia and Asia Motors. And the Shinjin company turned into a joint venture between Daewoo and General Motors, and a few years later - into Daewoo Motor. A fairly young dynamic company "Daewoo" until 1993 cooperated with General Motors. In 1995, Daewoo entered the German market with the small class Nexia and the middle class Espero.

The 1986 Opel Kadett E became a donor for Daewoo Nexia, the company's future bestseller.

In the US, the Nexia was marketed under the Pontiac Le Mans name.

Daewoo Nexia is the latest generation of the ever-memorable Opel Kadett E, which began to be produced under license in 1986 in Korea. For export to the USA and Canada, the car went under the name Pontiac Le Mans, in the local market it became known as the Daewoo Racer.

The Russians first met him in 1993. After another modernization in March 1995, the model was renamed Nexia (Cielo for Korea). And soon the assembly was transferred to Daewoo branches in various countries: UzDaewoo in Uzbekistan, Krasny Aksai in Russia and Rodae in Romania.

This is what the Nexia looks like today, but the restyling of the car is not far off.

The front-wheel drive Tico hatchback of the "mini" class for city trips based on the Suzuki Alto has been produced in South Korea since 1988, and since 1996 - in Uzbekistan. Until 1993, the company worked with General Motors. By the beginning of 1996, Daewoo had built three large technical centers: in Worthing (Great Britain), not far from Munich (Germany) and in Pulyan (Korea). The company's chief technical project manager is Ulrich Betz (formerly a senior BMW manager).

Daewoo Tico - Korean "Oka", an affordable car with a good level of build quality.

The basis for the Daewoo Prince was another Opel model, this time, the large Senator sedan.

Since 1993, the Prince sedan has been produced and its more comfortable version, the B linkedin, based on the discontinued Opel Senator. The Espero sedan was designed by Bertone on the basis of the Opel Ascona units. It was first introduced in 1993. At the end of 1997, the company presented its three latest models at international motor shows - Lanos, Nubira and Leganza.

Lanos was developed and put into production in 30 months and cost the company $ 420 million. This is Daewoo's first in-house design. In Russia, the Lanos version was called Assol.

Lanos was supposed to replace the Daewoo Nexia model in our market, borrowing the suspension and steering from it. But it didn't replace it, Nexia remained on the Russian market, and Lanos is now assembled in Ukraine and sold in our country under the auspices of Chevrolet.

The exterior of Daewoo Espero is the handiwork of Italian craftsmen from the Bertone design studio.

Daewoo Nubira - own development of the company (branch in England), design - I. D. E. A. Work on the model Nubira (translated from Korean "travel the world") began in 1993 and lasted 32 months. The design was developed in Worthing, and the first model, modified later, was presented at the end of 1994. This is a golf class car with a transverse engine and front wheel drive, which replaced the Espero. In Russia, the version is called "Orion".

With the help of Daewoo Nubira, the Korean company has taken a big step forward in creating a modern car.

The Leganza model is the company's attempt to produce business class models. The most comfortable and equipped car of the company. The design of this model is based on the body of the Opel Senator car, modified by Italian specialists from Italdesign. Russian analogue of the Korean model "Condor".

Again Opel Senator, but already changed beyond recognition by the Italian designers from the ItalDesign studio. The result is the Daewoo Leganza - a modest application to enter the business class.

Daewoo Matiz, a transverse engine, front-wheel drive mini car model. The model was first presented in 1998 in Geneva. At the Paris Motor Show in October 2000, an updated version of the Daewoo Matiz was presented.

After the Asian financial crisis of 1998, Daewoo faced enormous difficulties. However, the South Korean government abandoned the idea of \u200b\u200bnationalizing the company. The largest corporations in the world fought for the right to acquire it.

Daewoo Matiz is one of the most successful cars of the company, which has gained popularity in many countries of the world, including Russia.

The South Korean Daewoo since September 2002 officially came under the jurisdiction of General Motors, changing its name to GM Daewoo Auto & Technology Co. Today, the Daewoo brand is familiar to the domestic consumer, mainly due to the cars produced in Uzbekistan at the UzDau plant, which remained outside the framework of the newly created company.

Daewoo Nexia is one of the most popular cars in Russia, this simple "C" class falls into the price category available to most of the target audience. The cars are durable and unpretentious.

History and design

The model began to be produced in 1995, it existed before, but under a different name. The car has come a long way since 1984 before becoming a Nexia.

In 1996, the production of this series of cars was opened in Rostov, but in Russia production could not hold out for more than two years, since the Uzbek manufacturer of the Korean car was more competitive. And to this day, the model came to Russia from Uzbekistan.

In 2002, the car updated its engines, they became more powerful. In addition to the engines, nothing has changed in the car.

In 2008, second generation models entered the market. Their main external distinguishing feature is the modified headlights, bumpers and trunk lid. The appearance has noticeably changed and became more modern.

Manufacturers also took care of safety. The car frame is very strong and can withstand heavy loads.

The appearance of the Daewoo Nexia car is unlikely to please anyone, since the design seems to be from the 2000s. The front has lenticular headlights and is the only one that looks more modern than anything else. Between the headlights is a small grille with the brand's logo on a chrome bar that runs down the middle of the grille. The bumper looks massive, underneath it has fog lights.

The model also looks sad from the side, especially the rear. The rear is a little better, with simple optics and a spoiler stemming from the boot lid. Due to the fact that the design is too simple, this affects the price of the car, because it becomes easier to produce it and thus it will be sold cheaper.

Specifications

The first engines had a capacity of 75 horsepower, after the restyling of 2002, the engines changed fundamentally, 8 and 16-valve gasoline units were installed on cars. The operating system of the 16-valve engine has been upgraded, and the power has increased to 85 horsepower. Both engines have the same volume of 1.5 liters.

The second generation engines have improved significantly and received other characteristics, they are still of two types:

1. The first Daewoo Nexia engine will be known to people who bought Lanos with this engine, it is a 1.5-liter unit producing 80 horsepower. The unit is called A15SMS, and maximum power is reached at 5600 rpm. This motor has an electronic control unit, which allows the use of gasoline with any amount of octane, of course, within reasonable limits. This will delight people who buy this car as a budget option and still want to save money, this is normal. The unit also has a gasoline injection distribution system.

   This is an 8-valve engine that is driven by a single camshaft. In terms of dynamics, the unit allows you to dial the first hundred in 12.5 seconds, and the maximum speed is located at around 175 km / h. The motor consumes 8 liters in the city, which is not a lot and a lot, but on the highway it will need 1 liter less, which is a little upsetting.

2. The second motor is called F16D3, which has already been borrowed from Lacetti. The volume is increased to 1.6 liters, and the power is increased to 109 forces. Maximum power is achieved at higher revs, i.e. 5800 rpm. This is a 16-valve engine and, unlike the previous one, it has 2 overhead camshafts. This unit is slightly better in terms of dynamics, the indicators are as follows - 11 to hundreds and 183 km / h of maximum speed. The consumption is more per liter, regardless of whether it is a city or not.

The units are paired only with a 5-speed manual transmission and have only front-wheel drive.

Daewoo Nexia interior

The interior is very simple but spacious. It does not have any high-tech functions, but the cost of the car corresponds to its "stuffing".

The interior itself has been improved thanks to restyling. The manufacturer realized what the problem was and corrected it, namely, improved the quality of the plastic, reduced the gaps, improved the quality of the fastening of the trim and added sound insulation in the door.

Nevertheless, depending on the configuration, Daewoo Nexia may contain:

• Air conditioning;
• Audio system with four speakers;
• Power steering;
• Tachometer;
• Electric glass lifters;
• The gas tank and trunk can be opened without leaving the passenger compartment.

The trunk is very spacious, but its volume cannot be adjusted using the rear seats. So in the standard it is more than 500 liters, and after folding the seats, it more than doubles.

The second generation is presented in three trim levels: LowCost, Standard and Lux. They are distinguished by a set of options that have hardly changed since the previous model. However, it became possible to install a central locking system.

The appearance of the dashboard remains the same. It is simple and straightforward.

The car has independent front suspension and semi-independent rear.

"Nexia" is an excellent car of the "Economy" class, it confidently competes with the domestic auto industry, as can be seen from the frequency of meetings of these cars in the Russian markets.

Daewoo Nexia is an excellent and budget Korean sedan at the same time. In addition, this model is one of the most common cars in the territory of our state. For the first time, this car rolled off 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, the second, the technical characteristics of the Daewoo Nexia 1.6 16 valve power reaches 109 hp.

In addition, the more powerful motor is installed only in top 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".

Daewoo Nexia owner reviews, disadvantages

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.

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. from. power. And the A15SMS motor is designed for 86 hp. from. and, in addition to Nexia, it 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 Daewoo Nexia power plants, 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 incorrect tightening of the valve cover, which was subsequently replaced by the manufacturer with a plastic analogue. Oil leakage leads to work in conditions of lack of lubrication, oil often enters the candle 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. from.; 2 camshafts and ECU for ignition; lower fuel consumption compared to the G15MF.
		89 l. from.; compliance with EURO-3 standards; the fuel system is built in the same way as on the Chevrolet Lanos.
		109 l. from.; structurally and externally similar to the X14XE; there are hydraulic lifters, exhaust gas recirculation; EGR valve; Among the disadvantages 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. s., F16D3 109 hp. from. you need 3.8 liters of oil. To extend the life of the Daewoo Nexia motor, you can use. This will restore worn surfaces based on ferrous metals. A dense layer of cermet is formed on the parts, compression is normalized, the level of noise and vibration is reduced, fuel and oil consumption decreases. Daewoo Nexia consumes about 10 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers in the urban cycle. With the 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 the 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 switching 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.
