The Daewoo Matiz, known as the Holden Barina in Australia and the Chevrolet Spark in some markets, is a city car that was produced by the South Korean automaker Daewoo from 1998 to 2008. The Matiz was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, known for his iconic designs for brands like Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, and Maserati. It was marketed as a practical and affordable option for urban dwellers, boasting a compact size, fuel-efficient engine, and quirky, rounded styling. The Matiz, despite its small stature, offered a surprising amount of interior space and was capable of seating four adults comfortably. Its engine options ranged from 0.8L to 1.0L, providing sufficient power for city driving while maximizing fuel economy.

The Daewoo Matiz quickly gained popularity in Europe and Asia, particularly in countries with congested city centers. It was praised for its maneuverability, affordability, and fuel efficiency. While the Matiz was known for its simple design and basic features, it offered several trim levels with varying options, including power steering, air conditioning, and CD players. The Matiz's production continued under General Motors ownership after Daewoo's financial struggles, becoming the Chevrolet Spark in some markets. The Matiz, however, remained a popular choice for its affordability and practicality, leaving a lasting impact on the city car segment. Its successor, the Chevrolet Spark, continues to carry the legacy of the Matiz, offering a modern and updated version of the same core values.
