Initially, the Daewoo Matiz was an auto sample sold to the Koreans by Suzuki manufacturers in 1980. As a result of this, the production of the Daewoo Tico begun in 1988. The Koreans successfully designed the Daewoo Tico. To save money, they used less amount when creating a new compact car, and the Matiz was built based on Tico. We should take note that the ItalDesign Studio (an Italian design and engineering brand company) were the first to create the appearance of the new little car, but then decided to give it to Daewoo. This compact five-door car is mostly driven in urban areas and has taken the roads remarkably well in most European countries where there is an increased demand for urban automobiles.
