The 1.6 DOHC versions were equipped with 256mm front brake rotors and 22mm master cylinders rather than the 236mm disks and 20mm master cylinder found on the other versions with the less power engines. The 1.6 DOHC versions were equipped with D16 long ratio transmissions which had a slightly bigger final gear ratio compared to the D16 short ratio found on the other versions with the less power engines. The 1.6 DOHC versions were equipped with stiffer front springs to compensate for the heavier engine in comparison to both SOHC engines found in the other versions. The four models available were S, SE, SE Plus, SX, and later, the SPORT model. The S was the base model and did not include many standard features (like a CD player or power windows).
The SE was just a small step up from the S base model. However, the SX model usually included a CD, radio, and cassette player along with, a, and.
A few select SX models even came with a sun-roof, though not many did. In the Lanos's later years, the SE and SX models were dropped and replaced with a new trim line called the SPORT (2001–2002). The SPORT included several features similar to the SX, but also included red/black leather seats and a metallic silver dash trim. Also, the SPORT model had window controls located on the doors rather than the center console (like in the previous trim lines). Marketing and production Outside South Korea, the Lanos has been produced in (from 1997 to 2008), (from 1998 to present), Russia (briefly produced, starting in 1998), (from 1998 to present) and (from 2000 to 2006). Most of the initial production was made using (CKD) kits, which were supplied to (in Poland), (in Ukraine), (in Russia), and (in Egypt) and (in Vietnam).

In December 2004, ZAZ adopted the Lanos chassis for full-scale production and installed new welding and painting lines. From March 2009, the updated version is called ZAZ Lanos (internal model T150). The engines are still supplied by GM Daewoo, although a Chinese-developed engine from has been fitted and there are plans to build the 1.6 L engine at the MeMZ plant. In Poland, the (FSO) plant in began the production of the Lanos in 1998. Since January 2005, after the takeover of Daewoo by General Motors, the Lanos produced in Poland started to be sold under the brand name of FSO.

In 2006, a variant of the ZAZ Lanos was introduced. Egypt Since late 1998, the factory in started the assembly of the Daewoo Lanos in both 4 door and 5 door shells with the 1.5 SOHC engine. The hatchback version was called 'Juliet'.
The 4 door was available in two versions:. The S model which was fully loaded with all options plus an automatic transmission. The SX model that had A/C, power steering and radio cassette plus a manual transmission The 5 door version of the Lanos (AKA Juliet) came with full options and manual transmission. Near the end of year 2000 the Lanos was introduced with a different rear end design and a face lifted front (different front bumper and grill).
It was called 'Lanos II' in this particular market. An SE version came with all the options plus the manual transmission. The automatic transmission version was stopped shortly after the introduction of the 'Lanos II'. Between mid 2000 and 2001 the factory produced an even more frugal 4 door version of the Lanos II with no options at all but a cassette and those were sold by the Egyptian ministry of defense to army officers with a decently low price compared to the car's value at that time.
The facelifting also included the five-door Juliet to have the same changes as the 4 door version on the front but on the rear it only had a different design tail-lights and bumper rather than a wholly different design rear end like the sedan, the production of the Juliet stopped within 2005.
