Korean car "Deo Nexia" is familiar to many car owners for its reliability and at the same time low price. Appeared in 1995, the then-unknown “state employee” won the love of domestic drivers in a matter of months. In the 90s, however, as now, he was considered the most affordable foreign car among all who were only present in the vast expanses of the former USSR. And what remains to be done if the choice was between a VAZ “ten” of dubious quality and an imported Korean assembly sedan? Definitely, the choice was for Nexia. It is due to its accessibility that it has become the most popular and sought-after passenger car in Russia and beyond.
Update Frequency
And this car was updated only three times. In 2002, the Deo Nexia car underwent a small restyling, as a result of which a new europanel appeared in the cabin, and a chrome radiator grille and a new trunk lid trim shone from the outside. In such a “shell”, it was produced until 2008, when the concern “General Motors” made a multi-million dollar investment in finalizing and creating a new generation of “Deo Nexia”. Experts say that GMC has invested about $ 10 million in upgrading the Daewoo Nexia.
Strange Product
You may ask, what does the American company have to do with the Korean car? The most direct. The fact is that the German company Opel is part of the GMC corporation, and it, in turn, produced Opel Kadet cars, which became the basis for the development of Nexia. Moreover, the design of the car "Deo" was developed in an Italian studio. We will not go into details about it, but will analyze the technical part. As you know, as a platform, the Koreans took the design of the German car "Opel Cadet", discontinued in the 80s.
During development, a whole series of technical devices and components from General Motors was added, since this concern also took an active part in the development of the model. Now it is not surprising why many parts on the “Deo” as relatives fit with the “Opel Cadet”.
If everything is summed up, we get a relationship between three continents: Asia, Europe and the United States. Therefore, if you think that the sedan was developed by purely Korean engineers, you are deeply mistaken. In fact, the Koreans only put all the details together: a design developed in Italy, a platform from the German "Cadet" and several dozen spare parts (including the "heart" - the engine) from the American corporation GMC. So, together, the new Deo Nexia came out. Reviews note that the cooperation between the companies gave a good result. Indeed, the machine has been successfully produced for almost 2 decades!
Performance indicators
In general, Deo Nexia (expert reviews also note this factor) is a very successful development, and it can be considered one of the most reliable and high-quality. The body of the Korean assembly sedan withstands any blows (for credibility, you can see the crash test of Daewoo Nexia 1995), and it has a short conversation with rust. And although the metal is not galvanized at Deo Nexia (new cars are also not processed by it), it steadily holds water and temperature extremes for 5+. In this case, the paint does not crack, does not peel and does not move away from the surface. What can I say, Nexia is the most successful project of the 90s, which, despite its age, still enjoys proven success with car enthusiasts.
