Depreciation Insight:

• On release, a new 2000 DAEWOO Matiz typically loses 15‑20% of its value after the first year.
• Within the first two to three years, the car depreciates an average of 35‑40% from its purchase price.
• After five years, most examples in mint or near‑mint condition retain about 20‑25% of their original value, largely driven by low mileage and complete service history.
• Depreciation slows substantially once a vehicle surpasses ten years of ownership, especially when the vehicle is well‑maintained; many owners report relatively stable resale values in the 10‑12% annual range.

So, how does the DAEWOO Matiz depreciation compare to the valley of value loss that other city cars face? Let’s look at a few peers in the same segment.

Comparison Context

• Hyundai Accent (early 2000s) – Similar 7‑seater but with a larger/displaced 1.1‑liter engine. Its depreciation curve is steep in the first two years (30‑35%) but holds steadier afterward. The 2000 Accent generally retails 15‑20% more than a used Matiz in the same market.
• Kia Morning (later 2000s) – This sub‑compact uses a comparable powertrain but offers a slightly larger cabin and better safety equipment. Owners predict a first‑year loss of around 18‑22% and a mid-term value of about 30% below original price.
• Volkswagen Polo (first‑generation) – With a reputation for robustness, the Polo’s early depreciation dips to 12‑18%, but condition and various maintenance packages can widen this range
