Korean car "Daewoo Nexia" is well known to many Russian motorists. For 17 years, this model has been successfully sold in many countries of the world and occupies a leading position in the sales ratings of budget sedans. The secret to the success of the Korean miracle lies in the high reliability of the car and its low cost, so there are a lot of people who want to buy this inexpensive and roomy sedan. Oddly enough, but over the 17 years of its existence, the car was updated only three times, and today only the second generation of Daewoo Nexia is produced. Technical characteristics of the “Nexia” of the second generation, its design and price, we will find out in this review.
Design
In fact, the novelty is a copy of the German Opel Cadet sedan, which was produced back in the 80s of the last century. Nevertheless, Korean developers managed to modernize the car, and now its appearance is relevant for the modern market. Of course, Koreans did not manage to develop the exterior without the help of Italian colleagues, and that is probably why the “state employee” is more relevant than ever. Among the significant updates, it is worth highlighting the presence of a completely different form of xenon headlights , as well as the rear brake lights. The bumpers (front and rear) have also been updated - they have become more sporty and dynamic. The hood also has not lost its shape - its embossed lines give the car a more expensive look.
Salon
The interior of the novelty, although it seems simple, is made with taste. “In the new Daewoo Nexia n150,” the engineers completely eliminated all the shortcomings that had plagued its predecessor since 1995 - the quality of the plastic has improved markedly, there are no various gaps and gaps inside, and the quality of the fastening of all the parts is commendable. Also important was the reduction of noise in the cabin due to soundproofing elements in the doors.
The front panel has a more convenient arrangement of all control keys, despite the fact that the design is noticeable in rectangular and oval shapes, reminiscent of the budget of a sedan.

The first eight-valve engine has a capacity of 80 horsepower and a working volume of 1.5 liters. It is the base for the second generation Daewoo Nexia. Technical characteristics of the “top-end” 1.6-liter engine allow the sedan to develop power of 106 horsepower. If we compare the second generation with the first, you can notice a small difference in power - now all power units have become more high-torque and dynamic.
