2000 DAEWOO Nubira Estate 2.0

Vehicle Overview

A good-looking car offered for an attractive price, the facelifted version of the first generation released in 1997 was unveiled to the public in 2000.

The nameplate of “Nubira” meant “to go everywhere” in Korean, and that was the purpose of the model: to offer great reliability and style at a good price.

For 2000, the Nubira featured lots of modifications, no less than 90. The front and the rear were redesigned to look more modern and the side mirrors were larger for increased visibility. New fabrics were used for the cabin, as well as new seats were installed for enhanced comfort. Safety was also improved with the new child seat-tether anchors and three-point belts for all 3 positions.

Handling was improved with a rear stabiliser bar and the suspension became firmer.

The Daewoo Nubira was available in two trim levels: SE and CDX. With the base level SE, the customers got a 6-speaker sound system, a height adjustable seat and 4-wheel disc brakes. Power windows, mirrors and locks, as well as keyless entry, fog lights, a car alarm and a tilt steering wheel could be added through an optional convenience package for an extra fee.

With the better equipped CDX, the Nubira came with air-conditioning, alloy wheels, cruise control, antilock brakes and optional leather upholstery and a moonroof.

A single engine was available with the 2000 model, an Australian 2.0-liter unit that developed 129 hp. The powerplant was mated with a standard 5-speed manual transmission or an optional automatic gearbox.
