Designed as a replacement for the aged Nexia, the Nubira hatchback was a last-minute offer that couldn't convince the market, but it was launched anyway by the dying Korean carmaker.

The "Nubira" meant "to go anywhere" in Korean, and the carmaker believed that it would fill everyone's needs for an affordable, reliable transportation solution. Daewoo introduced the range in 1997, and three years later, it rushed with a facelifted version for the entire range, including on the hatchback body shape.

There were around 90 modifications to the car, and the Koreans thought that there were enough. The front and the rear were redesigned to look more modern, and the side mirrors were larger for increased visibility. For the hatchback version, Daewoo left the same rear end and same taillights.

Daewoo used new fabrics for the cabin, as well as new seats for enhanced comfort. Safety was also improved with the new child seat-tether anchors and three-point belts for all three positions. That was a true improvement, appreciated mostly by young families with children.

The Daewoo Nubira was available in two trim levels: SE and CDX. The customers got a 6-speaker sound system with the base-level SE, a height-adjustable seat, and 4-wheel disc brakes. The better-equipped CDX received air-conditioning, alloy wheels, cruise control, antilock brakes, optional leather upholstery, and a moonroof.

Daewoo offered the Nubira with only one engine: an Australian 2.0-liter unit that developed 129 hp. The powerplant was paired as standard with a 5-speed manual transmission or an optional automatic gearbox.
