The Ssangyong Chairman, produced from 1997 to 2011, was a full-size luxury sedan that represented Ssangyong's attempt to compete in the premium market segment. It was positioned as a flagship model for the brand, featuring a refined design, luxurious interior appointments, and powerful engines. The Chairman was initially based on the Mercedes-Benz W124 chassis, sharing its platform with the Mercedes-Benz E-Class of the time, providing a robust foundation for its luxury aspirations. This connection to Mercedes-Benz technology, particularly in the first generation models, was a major selling point for the Chairman, offering buyers a perception of quality and engineering prowess. Throughout its production run, the Chairman went through several revisions and updates. The first generation, produced from 1997 to 2003, offered a selection of powerful gasoline engines, including a 3.2-liter V6 and a 4.5-liter V8. The second generation, launched in 2003, brought a new design and a 3.2-liter V6 engine with a five-speed automatic transmission. In 2008, the third generation Chairman was introduced, featuring a revised exterior design, a more luxurious interior, and a larger 3.6-liter V6 engine. The Chairman was known for its spacious interior, offering abundant legroom and headroom for passengers. It also included features like leather upholstery, heated seats, and a premium sound system to enhance the luxurious experience. Despite its ambitions, the Chairman faced stiff competition from established luxury car brands and ultimately struggled to gain significant market share. While it was praised for its quality and comfort, it lacked the brand recognition and prestige of its competitors, leading to its eventual discontinuation in 2011.
