SuccessorDaewoo Magnus

The Daewoo Leganza is an executive car (E-segment), sometimes classified as luxury large family car (D-segment), that was manufactured and marketed by the automobile manufacturer Daewoo. The Leganza was only available as a front engine, front-wheel drive, four-door, five-passenger sedan in South Korea over a single generation for model years 1997-2002 and was internally designated as the V100.

The Leganza replaced mid-size luxury car Daewoo Prince and was succeeded by the Daewoo Magnus (V200) using a new V200 platform. The name Leganza was a portmanteau of the Italian words elegante (elegant) and forza (power).
