In the spring of 2013, at a special dealer conference in Moscow, Uz-Daewoo presented a “new” sedan. We are talking about a five-seater three-car "Gentra", capable of imposing serious competition on Avtovaz Lada granta and Lada priora, as well as the majority of "golf-class Chinese".
Of course, "Gentra" is somewhat more expensive than these cars, but it is noticeably more spacious and spacious, besides, the manufacturer assures that the build quality is also of a higher level.
The fact that this C-segment sedan is built on the basis of a pre-styling version popular in Russia, Chevrolet lacetti- it has been known for a long time, but after "personal acquaintance" it becomes obvious. The use of Chevrolet Lacetti as a basis, according to the developers, plays a positive role in popularizing UZ- Daewoo gentra and provides an additional competitive advantage in Russian market.
The car completely inherited the platform of its progenitor, but received a slightly modified external design, which significantly simplified the exterior. Most of the transformations fell on the front of the Daewoo Gentra body. Here, the manufacturer decided to use a completely new hood, updated the optics, replaced the radiator grill and tweaked the contours of the bumper, at the same time replacing the fog lights. In turn, the rear part of the novelty is almost one to one (with the exception of almost imperceptible small strokes) repeats the stern of the pre-styling Lacetti.
It will be very difficult to assess the appearance of the "new" sedan Daewoo Gentra for a solid five. Still, the body contours and exterior decor elements are largely outdated, however, for budget car this novelty looks quite tolerable and attractive, not inferior to competitors in almost anything.
Dimensions "Gentra": body length 4515 mm, width - 1725 mm, and height - 1445 mm. The wheelbase is 2600 mm and the track width is 1480 (for both axles). The ground clearance (clearance) is about 140 mm in an unloaded state (which is frankly not enough for a "workhorse")
Volume luggage compartment- 405 liters, but it can be increased to 1225 liters (sacrificing seats for second row passengers.
The curb weight of the sedan is 1245 kg, and the gross weight is 1660 kg.
The interior of this car looks simple, but it is made quite high quality, without visible problems with fasteners and without obvious gaps between the trim parts. The main materials used for the upholstery are high-quality plastic and fabric.
The Daewoo Gentra has a five-seater salon, quite spacious and quite comfortable, in no way inferior to the main competitors of the budget segment.
Specifications... For the "Uzbek-Korean" tricycle it is supposed to use only one engine - under the hood of the Daewoo Gentra, the manufacturer has placed a four-cylinder gasoline power unit with a working volume of 1.5 liters. The engine is equipped with a DOHC timing belt, fully complies with the Euro-5 environmental standard and is capable of developing up to 107 hp. maximum power at 5800 rpm (maximum torque will be 141 Nm at 3800 rpm).
Aggregate power point can either with a five-stage manual transmission, or with a six-speed automatic transmission.
Despite the use of modern approaches to the development and production of a motor, it is very difficult to call it economical, especially given the not very high power. According to the manufacturer, modifications equipped with manual transmissions will consume about 8.5 liters of fuel for every 100 kilometers in the "city mode". The gluttony of modifications with "automatic" will require an additional liter of gasoline - the average consumption will be equal to 9.46 liters. But on the track, as the manufacturer assures, the "automatic" will be more economical than the "mechanics" - 6, 52 against 6.97 liters per 100 km, respectively.
However, the volume fuel tank 60 liters, in any case, will not force you to visit "gas stations" too often.
In terms of dynamic characteristics Gentra will not surprise you with anything (but also will not disappoint). The maximum speed with the "mechanics" will be 180 km / h, and the first hundred on the speedometer such a sedan will be able to reach in ~ 12 seconds. With the "automatic", according to the manufacturer, the dynamics "up to a hundred" is similar, and maximum speed will be 164 km / h.
Options and prices... The Daewoo Gentra sedan is offered on the Russian market in five fixed configurations: Comfort, Comfort Plus, Optimum, Optimum Plus and Elegant.
The basic equipment of Daewoo Gentra includes: fog lights, driver's front airbag, immobilizer, power windows for all four doors, power accessories for side mirrors (heating, adjustment) and much more (except perhaps for air conditioning, ABS and an audio system (but there is audio preparation for 6 speakers)).
In the maximum configuration, the car will be able to "boast" the presence of: ABS, 15 ″ alloy wheels, rear seat armrest, wood-like trim, adjustable steering column for reach (and not only in height - as in the "base"), heated front seats and air conditioning, sunroof and CD audio system.
2015 Gentra price, in basic configuration"Comfort", starts at 419,000 rubles (here "mechanics" without options). The most affordable "Gentra with a machine" in the "Comfort Plus" package is offered at a price of 499,000 rubles. The cost of a sedan in the "top" configuration "Elegant" - from 549,000 or 599,000 rubles (respectively, with 5MKPP or 6AKPP).
Dimensions Daewoo Gentra correspond to the dimensions of a “C” class car. A fairly decent wheelbase length provides room in the cabin, especially at the rear, which rivals in this price category cannot boast of. In principle, the dimensions of the body of the Daewoo Gentra are identical to those of the Chevrolet Lacetti, which is not surprising.
Daewoo Gentra length is 4515 mm, the wheelbase that determines the space in the cabin (distance between the axles) is 2600 mm. The size of the luggage compartment by today's standards is not large, only 405 liters, but it should be borne in mind that under the floor of the Gentra's boot there is an additional compartment for accommodating a full-size spare wheel. By the way, the rear seats fold down easily and the loading space increases to 1225 liters.
The height of the family sedan according to passport data is 1445 mm. The track of the rear and front wheels is exactly the same and has a length of 1480 mm. The question that worries many buyers in our country is ground clearance or the vehicle's ground clearance. Ground clearance Daewoo Gentra is 150 mm. However, it should be borne in mind that the clearance may not coincide with these data. Let's say you put tires on the car with a larger or smaller profile than the manufacturer recommends. Over time, the springs of the car sag and the clearance becomes smaller. It is logical that the clearance of an empty and loaded car has different indicators. In principle, the Daewoo Gentra's ground clearance is not very large, but also not the smallest in its class.

- Fuel tank volume - 60 liters
- Tire size - 195 \ 55 R15 / 6.0J
- Ground clearance or clearance of Daewoo Gentra - 150 mm
The interior of the car is very ergonomic. Roomy for both the driver and front passenger and passengers in the back row of seats. The most interesting thing is that some cars of the higher class have not much more rear space than in the Gentra. The only negative is the ceiling above the driver, which has become slightly lower due to the installation of a sunroof. But the sunroof is not installed in all trim levels, but seat height adjustment at all. To solve the problem of flow, which may not seem very good (for tall drivers), you can adjust the driver's seat.
Summing up, the following Daewoo Gentra can be noted, this is a full-fledged spacious sedan for the whole family. Spacious salon and a large trunk. Yes, even if the car is not very modern, but all the shortcomings are compensated for by the low price.

Answer from Anna Sulakova[guru]
Not as a driver, but as a passenger, I will say, the car is not bad, it was once, it was sold later for lack of money, but I liked the shape and inside everything, the price-quality ratio is maintained! and how I liked the headlights, like sly eyes! 8 (am sorry for such a comparison, but it seems to me so)
Ground clearance Daewoo Nexia or clearance as for any other passenger car is an important factor on our roads. It is the condition of the road surface or its complete absence that makes Russian motorists interested in the clearance of Daewoo Nexia and the possibility of increasing ground clearance using spacers.
To begin with, it's worth honestly saying that real ground clearance Daewoo Nexia may seriously differ from that declared by the manufacturer. The whole secret is in the method of measurement and the place of measurement of the ground clearance. So find out real situation affairs can only be done by yourself armed with a tape measure or a ruler. Official clearance Daewoo Nexia is equal to 158 mm... Which is relatively small for our roads.
Some manufacturers go for the trick and declare the size of the ground clearance in an "empty" car, but in real life we have a full trunk of all sorts of things, passengers and the driver. That is, in a loaded car, the clearance will be completely different. Another factor that few people have in mind is the age of the car and the wear and tear of the springs, their “subsidence” from old age. The issue is solved by installing new springs or buying spacers under sagging springs Daewoo Nexia... The spacers allow you to compensate for the drop of the springs and add a couple of centimeters of ground clearance. Sometimes even a centimeter in the parking lot at the curb plays an important role.
But do not get carried away with the "lift" of the Daewoo Nexia's ground clearance, because the spacers to increase the clearance are focused only on the springs. If you do not pay attention to the shock absorbers, the travel of which is often very limited, then self-modernization of the suspension can lead to loss of control and damage to the shock absorbers. In terms of cross-country ability, high ground clearance in our harsh conditions is good, but at high speeds on the track and in corners, there is a serious buildup and additional body roll.

A detailed video of the increase in rear clearance on the Daewoo Nexia.
When designing a suspension and choosing the amount of ground clearance, any car manufacturer is looking for a middle ground between handling and cross-country ability. Perhaps the easiest, safest and most unpretentious way to increase clearance is to install wheels with “high” tires. Changing wheels makes it easy to increase the ground clearance by another centimeter. Do not forget that a serious change in ground clearance can damage the Daewoo Nexia CV joints. Also, don't forget about the brake hoses, which are of limited length.
The clearance of Daewoo Nexia is the distance between the road and the lowest part of the car. To be more precise, the clearance is considered, according to the factory standards, from the threshold vehicle to the road.
Clearance
Usually, car manufacturers set different ground clearance for different body types. In the case of Daewoo Nexia, the manufacturer has set one clearance. The Daewoo Nexia's ground clearance height ranges from 158 to 160 mm. But be careful when leaving on vacation or returning with purchases: a loaded car will easily lose 2-3 centimeters of ground clearance.
Daewoo Nexia.
If desired, the clearance of any car can be increased using spacers for shock absorbers. The car will get higher. However, it will lose its former stability at high speeds and will lose a lot in maneuverability. The clearance can be reduced, for this, as a rule, it is enough to replace standard shock absorbers for tuning: handling and stability will immediately delight you.

Methods for increasing ground clearance
Since the road surface on the territory of the CIS countries, basically, leaves much to be desired, pits and bumps, many Nexia owners are trying to increase the clearance height in order to avoid damage to the protective elements of the body, such as bumpers and door sills. This can be done in several ways. The most common are the installation of spacers or springs with shock absorbers. Let's consider both options.
Vehicle characteristics.
Spacers
Spacers are rubber-metal plates that are inserted between the body and the shock absorber to increase the vehicle's ride height. These rework parts can be purchased at car markets or auto dealerships. Since the cost is much lower than shock absorbers and springs, spacers are preferred by most motorists.
Shock absorbers and springs
Another way to increase ground clearance on the Nexia is by installing tall shock absorbers and springs. To do this, you will need to find a set of non-standard chassis to increase ground clearance. Usually motorists go to tuning stores or car market for purchasing this kind of spare parts.
Installation is done by hand. Old parts are dismantled from the car, and new ones are easily installed in the old seat. So, there is no need to alter or customize anything. The only caveat is that there may be large fastening bolts that need to be cut after installation on the car.
Output
The clearance of Daewoo Nexia for all body types is one and is 158-160 mm, according to the technical documentation provided by the manufacturer. So, in order to increase the ground clearance, motorists use different methods. The most common is the installation of spacers.
