The Chevrolet Kalos, known as the Daewoo Kalos in some markets, was a subcompact car produced by the South Korean automaker Daewoo from 2002 to 2009. While the name "Daewoo" is widely associated with the brand, General Motors acquired Daewoo Motors in 2002, and the Kalos was marketed under the Chevrolet brand in various regions, particularly in Europe, Russia, and Latin America. The first generation of the Kalos, released in 2002, was based on the Daewoo Lanos platform, but featured a significantly revised design with a more modern and rounded aesthetic. This first generation was available in three-door hatchback, five-door hatchback, and four-door sedan body styles, catering to a diverse range of consumer preferences. The Kalos offered a relatively spacious interior for its class, with a comfortable seating arrangement and practical cargo space. It also featured a selection of fuel-efficient and reliable engine options, primarily small-displacement petrol units.

The 2006 Chevrolet Kalos, which falls within the first generation, continued to offer the same attractive features as its predecessors. It was known for its maneuverability and ease of driving, making it a popular choice for urban environments. The vehicle's compact dimensions and responsive handling allowed for effortless navigation through traffic congestion and tight parking spaces. The 2006 model year brought minor cosmetic updates, including redesigned bumpers and taillights, further enhancing the Kalos's contemporary appearance. Although the Kalos was generally considered a reliable and affordable vehicle, it did face some criticism for its relatively basic interior and somewhat dated technology compared to its European competitors. Despite this, the Kalos remained a popular and successful model for Chevrolet, contributing significantly to the brand's presence in emerging markets and solidifying its reputation for offering value-oriented vehicles.
