What is the Chevrolet Matiz?
The Matiz is a small city car with a compact shape suited to everyday driving and manoeuvring in town. It grew out of Daewoo’s small-car line; after General Motors took over Daewoo’s car operations, the car was sold under the Chevrolet name in many markets.
The second generation, known by the M200 and M250 codes, ran from 2005 to 2010. The third generation, M300, followed from 2010 to 2018 in Europe. The later car had a new design, and the model was also known as the Spark in some markets.
