Interesting Facts About the Daewoo Nexia
The Daewoo Nexia traces its roots to the Daewoo LeMans, a compact car first built in South Korea in the late 1980s. After a March 1995 upgrade the model was renamed Nexia (Cielo for the Korean market) and continued to evolve through the early 2000s.

Renamed from Cielo in 1995
Following an upgrade in March 1995, Daewoo renamed the existing Cielo model to Nexia for most markets, while retaining the Cielo name in Korea. This rebranding linked the Nexia directly to its LeMans heritage.
2008 Facelift Extended the Lineup
A facelift introduced in 2008 (KLETN) kept the Nexia in production until 2013, offering power outputs ranging from 80 to 109 hp. The sedan measured 4492 mm in length, 1662 mm in width, and 1393 mm in height.
Replaced by the Lanos and Gained a Niche Following
By 1996 the Nexia/Cielo was considered old, prompting Daewoo to replace it with the new Lanos hatchback. Despite this, the Nexia 2 version with a 1.6 L engine (106 hp) became a rare find outside Uzbekistan, where it remains a sought‑after budget sedan.
