Daewoo Automotive Context:
Daewoo Motors was a South Korean automobile manufacturer that operated from 1982 to 2011. It was part of the Daewoo Group conglomerate.
Platform Origin:
Based on the licensed GM T platform (used for Opel/Vauxhall Astra F and Chevrolet Cavalier Z24).
Styling Influence:
Exterior design by Italian firm Italdesign Giugiaro. Interior design by GM's European design studio.
Manufacturing Locations:
South Korea (main), various CKD assembly plants globally (e.g., Poland, Romania, Ukraine, Russia, Colombia).
Brand Discontinuation Impact:
Following the financial crisis of the late 1990s, GM acquired Daewoo and eventually rebranded Daewoo models under Chevrolet and Holden badges in many markets, or phased them out.
