1997 Daewoo d'Arts

The Daewoo Matiz was based on the 1992 Lucciola prototype, went into production in 1998, and became a long seller during its ten-year life span.

1997 saw the production of the d'Arts, an ultra-deluxe preseries outfit. The two-tone bodywork was enhanced by chrome inserts on the wheel arch, bumper, grille, handles, and door mirrors. This theme was resumed inside on the glass holders and ventilation outlets while the steering wheel was leather-trimmed.

The spoked wheels were a homage to the sports cars of the 1940s. The standard overproduction engine was a 796 cc, 56 hp three cylinder unit, ideal for driving around town with an eco-friendly approach.
