Braked towing capacity is 1200 kg and unbraked is 610 kg. Payload sits around 475 kg based on typical kerb and gross weights for the model.
The cabin offers generous space for the class thanks to a long wheelbase, with solid rear legroom and a practical boot. Cloth seats include height adjustment for the driver, and the interior uses decent materials without flimsy plastics. Manual air conditioning, electric front and rear windows, heated electric mirrors, and a leather-trimmed steering wheel with rake and reach adjustment are standard on the SX. It feels roomy and straightforward for daily use.

The 1.6 petrol returns a combined 7.1 l/100 km with urban 9.1 and extra-urban 6.0 figures under NEDC. CO2 sits at 178 g/km to Euro 3 standard. The 60-litre tank supports a real-world range well over 500 miles on a fill.
Daewoo included a transferable 3-year or 60,000-mile free servicing package with the car, plus matching warranty and recovery cover. Typical intervals run yearly or around 10-15,000 km with oil and filter changes, plus scheduled brake fluid and coolant work.
Standard safety covers four-channel ABS, dual-stage front airbags, front side airbags, five three-point belts with front force limiters, height-adjustable front belts and Isofix anchors. Four disc brakes are fitted. No stability control and no published Euro NCAP stars for the 2004-2005 model.
Keep the car simple: stick to the free-service schedule while it lasts, watch the timing belt around higher mileages, and check for the usual wear items. Parts remain straightforward and the package made ownership low-hassle when new.
