he Nubira was first launched in 1997 and was produced until 1999. It was developed as a replacement for the Opel based-platform Daewoo Nexia/Cielo and was designed by the Italian I.DE.A. Institute. Technically a compact, its exterior size is close to a mid-size sedan. "Nubira" comes from a Korean expression meaning "to go anywhere."
Its design is not the most appealing, but it looks comfortable and reliable. The car was produced as a 4-door sedan, a 5-door hatchback and a 5-door station wagon. It was available with 1.6L and 2.0L gasoline engines and customers could choose between a 4-speed automatic or a 5-speed manual transmission.
The Nubira came with 6 different trim levels: SE, EuroSunHatch, SX, SE, X-Series and CDX. The standard features of the SE included a radio and cassette player with a 4-speaker sound system, A/C, and central locking. While the SX was not equipped with A/C, it had a 6-speaker sound system, CD player and powered windows.
The CDX trim level added alloy wheels and the interior trim was upgraded. The Nubira EuroSunHatch featured a folding sunroof that extended to the rear passenger seats. Safety wise, the only available systems were the front airbags and ABS. Overall, the car offered fair options for its price.
