About This Model

Economy Segment: Maximum Value, Minimum Running Cost

Economy models are engineered around a single principle: the lowest possible cost per kilometre. Fuel efficiency, low insurance group ratings, and affordable scheduled maintenance are prioritised over performance or luxury. In markets where fuel prices exceed $1.50/litre, the annual fuel saving versus a mid-range model can exceed $600 USD — a figure that compounds significantly over a five-year ownership period. Parts availability is typically excellent, and independent service centres can handle most maintenance tasks at rates 30–50% below authorised dealer pricing.

The Daewoo Matiz is a Economy-segment vehicle with a base price of $8,000 USD. 51 hp inline-3, popular economy city car. Across 50 countries, annual ownership costs range from $2K in Venezuela to $17K in Singapore — a 839% difference driven by import duties, fuel prices, insurance markets, and local taxation.
