Daewoo Matiz

The Daewoo Matiz project took the name of M Series, initial of microcar, followed by the number 100 which indicates the generation of the small car (in this case 100 indicates the first generation). In 1997 the development of the Matiz M100 comes to an end and marketing began from the domestic market after its official presentation at the Seoul Motor Show. The final model was not very dissimilar in shape from the 1992 concept car but to ensure considerable internal flexibility the shape of the bodywork was revised, again by Giugiaro, adopting the more classic 5-door scheme. This was one of the main characteristics that made it successful in Europe as well.
