IIRC, the story behind the Chery QQ is that some sacked Daewoo engineers made copies of the CAD files for the Matiz and another model, and sold them to Chery. This explains why the doors fit perfectly. 
Waahaa, the Matiz is a piece of sh.. anyways - and there is even a worse copy of that junk existing? Unbelievable.
Some weeks ago, on our company-parking-area, a colleague has closed the door of his Matiz - the sound was disgusting, something between a Wartburg-door and a Coke-can...
In 2006 I had a Dahaitsu Terios as a rental car (at a great place, the island Rapa Nui). Before that I have never noticed, that this model was existing. I even couldn't remember the name (but Antoine has helped me, right here at IMCDB )
With the Terios we had offered a little show for the people around the island's gas station: we couldn't find the handle for the fuel-cap. 4 people were creeping around and inside the car, but without success. A Polynesian girl on a scooter has it finally shown to us: hidden at the driver's seat.

GM executives demonstrated the extent of the design duplication, noting for example that the doors of the QQ and those of the Spark are interchangeable without modification.
At least they copied it very well
