Second-generation Matiz (if one counts the M200 as a heavily revised version of the first generation), on GM Gamma platform. More modern styling, with instrument cluster inspired by motorcycle design. Selling on price. Still basic, and behind competitors dynamically, hid by modern styling. Also built in India as Chevrolet Beat; numerous markets received the Korean-built models as Chevrolet Spark. Chilean models badged Spark GT to distinguish them from older M200 Spark. Exported to Australasia as entry-level Holden Barina Spark. When the Daewoo brand was retired in Korea in 2011, the home-market models also became Chevrolet Spark. EV from 2013.
